The Jungle Book

I heard somewhere that The Jungle Book was actually the last Disney movie made while Walt Disney himself was still a live. What's the story? In a Jungle a baby is found and for all his life he's raised by a pack of wolves. One day when he's a boy the evil Tiger "Shere Khan" is coming to the Jungle. Shere Khan hates man and the wolves know he'll kill the boy named "Mowgli" if he ever finds him. So a panther named "Bagheera" to the man-village. Mowgli however doesn't want to go. He wants to stay in the Jungle and tries every chance he can to get away from him. Along the way he comes across a friendly bear named "Baloo", a marching elephant army, a crazy ape King named "King Louie", a hypnotising Snake named "Kaa" and of course the villain of the movie, Shere Khan. Let's talk about the good stuff first. The best thing in this movie is Shere Khan. He's a really great villain. We barely see him do anything but the amount of build up they have on him is so awesome. He just comes off as pretty intimidating. The only thing he fears is fire, and yeah that's pretty odd. But aside from that, he's really cool. The rest of the characters are O.K I guess and they are entertaining. The snake Kaa, though he isn't a main villain is actually entertaining and cool too. One of the best thing about him is that he's so long and they take advantage with making jokes with that. Mowgli is nice to be around and he is a pretty decent character. Baloo I have to say is my favourite character. I know that it's odd with me saying that seeing how I said Shere Khan was the best thing about this movie I'd say Baloo is my favourite character who's not a bad guy. As it is The Jungle Book is O.K. I'd say take a look at it.

101 Dalmatians

I only found this one recently and I have to say I found it to be not bad but kind of boring a little bit. What's the story? One night a female and male Dalmatian dogs are about to get puppies. The husband and wife and the maid wait until the puppies are born and when they are everyone is happy. Just then a woman named "Cruella De Vil" comes to the house to try to buy the puppies to turn them all into fur coats. The husband and wife refuse to hand them over so late that night Cruella sends her henchmen to kidnap all 15 of the puppies. The race is then on for "Pongo" and "Perdita", the two grown up dogs to get them back as well as the other 86 puppies she kidnapped. The best thing in this movie is Cruella De Vil (which, ever since the live-action version has become one of the most infamous villains of all time.) She's just a really fun villain. It's a great design on her, it's this weak, fragile woman under this gigantic hairy, monstrous fur coat. It actually is a really cool design. And the character herself is fun. Constantly screaming and yelling while trying to be fabulous while she's doing it. The other characters are O.K I guess and while I said this movie a bit boring I meant the beginning is a bit but the rest of it I don't have a problem with. I don't really know what else to say. I mean it's not great but also not horrible. It has some O.K characters, a fun villain and actually, some pretty nice animation. Take it for what it is, I just don't think I'd see it again.

Sleeping Beauty

I'd said this before too that this is one of my favourite 2-D animated Disney films and yeah like with Peter Pan it still is. What's the story? One day the Princess "Aurora" is born and they have a party to celebrate her birth. The 3 good fairies "Flora, Fauna and Merryweather" come to give her magical gifts. Before Merryweather can give her gift the evil villain "Maleficent" comes and curses her saying that before the sun sets on Aurora's 16th birthday she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a pinning wheel and die. Maleficent then leaves then Merryweather casts a spell to make her sleep instead of dying if she does prick her finger. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather take her to the forest to raise her as their own to keep her away from Maleficent. First let's look at the good stuff. The animation seems to be a different from other Disney films. I actually heard it was supposed to be the only Disney film to have the animation mainly be inked. I found it to be pretty nice. The fairies are also great characters. And like I've said before there's Maleficent, the greatest Disney villain ever. The music in the movie is great too. It has some really memorable songs to as well as some great climax music, in fact I found the climax itself to be one of the best Disney Climaxes ever. Now the stuff that doesn't work for me. For example the main characters Aurora and prince Philip are really bland characters. Aurora doesn't do anything in this movie and not to mention Philip doesn't get a line to say after half of the movie is over which I found to be a real disappointment because I thought the voice actor did do a good job of making him likable. Also Aurora has barely any character in her. There's also a lot of things that aren't needed in this. I think this movie really liked it's side-characters a lot more. Most of the time we're watching the fairies or Maleficent or and King Stefan and King Hubert. A lot also seems like filler to me. However with despite that flaw I do like this movie and it still one of my favourites. The villain is great, the fairies are great, the animation is great, the music is great and the climax is great. I have seen this movie a bunch of time and I have liked it every single time. And I know I'll never forget it anytime soon.

Lady and the Tramp

I actually only saw this movie recently. I mean I've heard about it for years and years but I never found it. And yeah when I saw it I really liked it. What's the story? Well one Christmas a husband give his wife a female puppy as a present named "Lady." For a while they play with her but they begin to play with her less and less when she overhears them talking about a baby. One day a male dog named "Tramp" tells her that once the baby comes she'll never be noticed the way she was before. But then he leaves. One day after the baby does arrive the husband and wife take a trip and ask Aunt Sarah to babysit. At one point her cats destroy the house and she blames Lady for it and tosses her out. From there a bunch of stuff happens. Lady herself is O.K actually I found her to be pretty entertaining. Tramp is O.K too. Sure he's a tiny bit full of himself and a bit of a rascal but still has some innocents and likability. The cats names are "Si and Am" and they're the villains of the movie. As villains they are fun and they have that really entertaining "Siamese" villain song.

Though I would of loved to of seen more of them in the movie. The rest of the characters are O.K too but again I would of liked to of seen more. The ending is what makes this film really entertaining. Watch it and you'll know what I'm talking about. So I liked the movie. I don't know if I'd see it that many times again but it was really enjoyable once.

Peter Pan

I've said this before about how Peter Pan is one of my favourite 2-D animated Disney films and it still is. I've actually always thought that this version of Peter Pan is sort of like every boys fantasy I mean think about it you've got Pirates, you've go flying, Indians, far away lands and mermaid. For what the story is Disney does it pretty well. Obviously they put in some changes but they still get the characteristics of these characters down really well. What's the Story? One night Peter Pan goes to the Darling family house where he meets a girl named Wendy, a boy named John and a toddler named Michael. He brings them to Neverland where he a bunch of odd things live. There they meet Indians, mermaids and of course the pirates with the villain Captain Hook. Pan himself is very cocky and sure of himself and yeah he is a tiny bit too much of a smart-aleck. Wendy is actually voice by the actress who played Alice and she makes this an entertain character to like she did Alice. John and Michael are O.K characters. Like I've said before Captain Hook is a really entertaining and funny villain. Tinker Bell is also an O.K character who also gets her redemption at the end, and the Indians are also really fun. They have a song number that's fun too. Peter Pan seems to get the children movie adventure down pretty well. Girls can get into the romance and the mermaids where the boys can enjoy the flying, sword fights, the pirates and the Indians a bit more. It's just a really fun kids movie.

Alice in wonderland

Disney's version Alice in is the only version I know of it. But that's not bad version to think of. What's the story? Well having it be Alice in Wonderland it is pretty simple. A little girl named "Alice" falls into a magic rabbit hole and ends up in "Wonderland." She tries to find a walking talking white rabbit and on the way she comes across a bunch of mysterious things like The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat and the villain for the movie The Queen Of Hearts. There's a lot of weird things in this movie like the animation in this is pretty odd but not bad and even the designs and the way a lot of these characters are pretty odd especially with how they move. Alice herself is an entertaining character especially the voice actress is pretty good. I actually found a lot of personality with her. I mean she's polite, nice but can be pushed to her limits. I would of loved to have seen more of her because if they did she would of been a bit more entertaining. But for what we gotshe's O.K. The queen is an O.K villain I guess I mean yeah I found her to be boring too but I also found her to be pretty funny especially when she has a serious anger issue. Most of the backgrounds in this is really dark. In fact yeah most of Wonderland is black and dark. But when we get to the bright and colourful parts it's great because it's very rarely we'd see it. I really like the characters that Alice meets. They're funny and they're mysterious. As the Disney films go I'd say this one is O.K. It's not one of my favourites but it's alright.

My top 5 sequels of all time

5. All the Harry Potter sequels: I know this might be cheating seeing that it's 7 sequels but I really love all the Harry Potter sequels. My favourite one and favourite Harry Potter movie is the last one. There's great action, acting, C.G.I, green screen effect and great characters. As I've said before Harry himself is my favourite character.
4. Shrek 2: I know I said Shrek the third is my favourite Shrek movie but after looking over them again I actually found Shrek 2 to be the best, it's funny, emotional, character based, memorable and great. While watching it again recently I found more of the jokes in it and I noticed some other thing I hadn't noticed before. And so mainly the reason I put this here is because it's funny, likable and great.
3. All the Kingdom Hearts sequels: You could say this is cheating too seeing how there video game sequels, but you know what!? I don't care. These sequels are so fantastic and brilliant and perfect. My personal favourite is Dream Drop Distance as I've said before. And, in my opinion Sora is the best character as I've also said before. These games are so fantastic I don't even know what else to say.
2. Kung Fu Panda 2: Yeah I've said this before and if I haven't said THIS before I'm saying it now, this is my favourite DreamWorks movie. It has great action, acting, comedy, characters and a great villain. Po is my favourite character through the entire series. Even the story itself I think is really unique.
And my number 1 favourite sequel of all time is... Toy Story 3: You knew something Pixar related had to make the list somewhere and I'm putting it as number 1. As I've said a bunch of times Toy Story 3 is my favourite of the Toy Story series and it's my favourite Pixar movie. As I've said before, Buzz is my favourite character through the entire series. So if I even need to say anything else, Toy Story 3 is by far my favourite sequel of all time.

Cinderella

I know I skipped over some other Disney classics but some I haven't seen a lot of the previous ones so I'm going to Cinderella. Actually the six movies before this were only 40 or 50 minutes long so they didn't have a flowing narrative so when they were doing this they knew they had to get back to a flowing story and a Fairy tale. What's the story? A woman named Cinderella has been turned into a maid by her evil Stepmother and Stepsisters. A bunch of animals help her out and try to make her world a joy. But when the night of the ball comes and she isn't allowed to go her Fairy Godmother comes and gives her a dress and a carriage to make it out there. My guess is that they were trying to return to the routes of Snow White with the young woman, a prince, a bunch of tiny animals helping out, a simplistic villain and a bit of magic. Cinderella herself is O.K I guess. She doesn't really do much but I do think there is some patients with her and she does manage to find some happiness in her everyday world kind of thing I do think that that's enough to say she's alright. Lady Tremaine is the name of the Stepmother and she's obviously the villain. And yeah much like the evil Queen she's a pretty boring one too. The rest of the characters are alright I guess though I wouldn't say they're great ones. So I'd say take a look at it.

Pinocchio

While Snow White was based on emotion and a fairy tale Pinocchio is kinda similar. However this one is based on a book. Where in a fairy tale world you know weird things can happen at any time and yeah this world does that pretty well here. What's the story? An old Wood carver named "Geppetto" makes a puppet boy and wished one night that he was real and the Blue Fairy comes and makes it's happen. "Pinocchio" as the puppet is called comes across a lot of adventures and creatures and a lot of lessons a long the way. Pinocchio is a likable character. Sure he does do things that he shouldn't but he does learn his lesson and he does try to do better. He has a conscience named Jiminy Cricket who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest Disney characters ever. I can't really explain why I just really, really like this guy. The animation is really upped in this movie just like how it was in Snow White. But there everything turned out O.K here everything isn't always O.K. A bunch of misbehaving boys are brought to an amusement park where they're turned into Donkeys where they're going to be used in mining shafts, and that's it, you never see them again. No one knows what they're doing to them and the guy who's doing this to them is never defeated. It's really grim if you ask me. The message is pretty old probably because of how old this movie is. The message is for kids, telling them that if you wish hard enough all your problems will go away. Though I don't really think kids would fall for that kind of thing. I mean kids are always going to be aware that there's bad things in the world. There's going to be things they're going to be afraid of and that wishing isn't going to solve their problems. Witch is a simple thing because this movie feels like a symbol of hope rather than a case of a gigantic message all it's own if you know what I mean. Over all Pinocchio is a fun and family friendly movie with good characters so yeah I recommend it and enjoying it.

Snow White and the seven Dwarfs

Remember when I said was going to review the 2-D animated Disney movies? I'm going to do that now. I'm only going to do the ones I've seen and liked so not all of them. I'm going to start with first animated film ever Snow White and the seven Dwarfs. Having it be the first animated film ever it makes sense making it a fairy tale. So what's the story? Well it being the first one I guess it is pretty is simple. An evil queen wants to be the "Fairest of them all" but finds out there's only one person in her way, the princess "Snow White." So one day she sends a hunter to kill her but he can't do it because she's the princess so he tells Snow White to run away. Along the way she finds a cottage filled with seven Dwarfs who welcome her into their lives. But once the queen finds out Snow White is still alive she transforms herself into an old hag and makes a poised apple to kill her. The story is as basic as you can imagine. Every half of it is for children and adult. Children can get into the story and the characters while the adults might find themselves sucked into the artwork, colours and the scary and creepy imagery. In fact yeah having it be as old as it is and it able to throw in this really creepy stuff is really impressive. Snow White herself is an O.K character. I mean there isn't anything fascinating about her but she is kind, she is patient and she isn't the kind to raise her voice at anything easily. The Dwarfs are what everyone remembers. The way they're animated, their personalities and the fact that their emotion status also happens to be their names. The queen is obviously the villain and yeah she's a pretty boring one. I mean she doesn't do or say much, so yeah that pretty much explains it. What keeps her going is the animation on her. She's just drawn great. And the design on her after the transformation is another thing that people remember about this movie. So really there's a lot of things to admire and a lot of things and characters to like. Having this be the first animated film ever this is really, really impressive. I'd say that's a lot of reason why it worth being looked at.
