Since I did cuisines earlier, I decided to do something else close to heart - Disney films. The owner of the p.c. site doesn’t want Disney reviews, as he hates “kiddie” movies. So I’m doing it on my blog instead.
I won’t be doing the live action movies because I personally thought most of them weren’t that good. But I love Disney animation.
Agree, disagree, it’s all good.
Snow White - Kind of dated looking seeing it again as an adult, but still good.
Pinocchio - Same as Snow White.
Fantasia - I know a lot of people loved this one, but it’s a Disney animated piece I don’t own and I’m not rushing to buy either. Not a bad piece, but not one of the better ones.
Song of the South (live action, but had animation) - I’ve only seen this as a kid because the Political Correctness Nazis blocked this release to video. From what I remember, it was really good.
Cinderella - It’s funny, after reading the uncensored fairy tale, it sure makes the Disney version look tame. But this one’s still well-done.
Alice in Wonderland - I’ve seen probably a dozen movies with the Alice theme somehow incorporated in it. Nothing’s a hair on Disney’s version. I wonder if anyone will be able to capture the magic Disney captured with this one.
Peter Pan - I loved this movie as a child. Even had the record (vinyl) of the songs. Seeing it again as an adult and I wasn’t at all disappointed.
Lady and the Tramp - I liked this one as a kid, but it didn’t hold up seeing it again as an adult.
Sleeping Beauty - I didn’t like the Prince. He was too dependent on the fairies’ magic and really didn’t do anything cool on his own.
101 Dalmations - I’m too prejudice to comment on this movie. I hate dalmations. They’re hyper, stupid dogs, a breed the world could do without, and whenever this movie hits the theatres, weeks later, parents give up on the stupid dalmation they got their kid and it ends up in the pound.
The Jungle Book - You know, I’ve never seen this as an adult so I won’t comment. I liked it as a kid though.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (live action but had animation) - I wonder if J.K. Rowling liked this one as a kid. I saw it a few years ago as an adult and it looked dated, but as a kid, I loved it.
Robin Hood - This one just didn’t grab me. I recently found out it’s the first movie Walt Disney wasn’t at all involved with (he died before the concept was even drawn out).
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh - I never saw this as an adult either, but Mrs. Z loves this one.
The Rescuers - I liked this one as a kid, but it bored me as an adult and I turned it off.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (live action but featured animation) - Excellent flick. And based off a true story, sort of. The automobile and oil companies bought up public transportation in L.A., which was one of the best in the world, and dismantled it for the ****** freeway. If you’ve ever driven in L.A., you’ll know how aggrevating that can be.
The Little Mermaid - This was the movie that got me back into Disney. They had a string of movies I just had no desire to see, then I remember seeing this one on a date with a cute Mexican girl. I loved it. I watched it recently and it’s still good.
The Rescuers Down Under - This one was okay, neither bad nor good.
Beauty and the Beast - Funny thing was I didn’t see this until 2002. We went with a big group to Disney’s California Adventure (the worst amusement park I’ve ever been to) and one of the girls convinced me I had to see this one. So I bought it, and fell in love with it. This may be the best animated movie I’ve ever seen.
Aladdin - Another date movie, this was Robin Williams’ best work. Excellent film, right up there with Little Mermaid.
The Lion King - Here’s where I get sacreligious. I didn’t like this one. It just seemed to me to be overproduced and overhyped, like a recent Metallica album. I have no desire to see it again to see if my opinion changes. I tried to watch parts and it didn’t grab me at all.
Pocahantas - Just didn’t get into it.
Hercules - Crap, utter crap. I think this is when I started to dislike Michael Eisner.
Mulan - My wife liked it, I don’t.
The Emperor’s New Groove - Almost as bad as Hercules. By then, I was a Disney shareholder and really upset.
Atlantis - Both my wife and I could only stomach five minutes of it. This was horrible.
Lilo & Stitch - This was actually a surprise. Mrs. Z, Junior, and I all enjoyed this one.
Treasure Planet - I can’t believe they made this one. It was horrible. Mrs. Z and I couldn’t get through it.
There have been three or four Disney feature films after Treasure Planet, but none I was in any hurry to catch. They all looked horrible.
