I’m surprised Disney made this instead of someone else parodying Disney.
The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
The Muppets spend significantly more time taking Manhattan than Jason does, and they don’t spend any time taking boat; but they don’t have a decapitation dumpster shot.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)
I do not like this. The art was ok; the story is…flat. It’s the return of the flat soda.
How did I get a second movie with “good brother vs evil brother” in a row?
The whole “owl master race” thing kind of matches up with all the Nazi stuff in Wizards too.
I see what they did there; getting Owl City to do a song for the owl movie.
Wizards (1977)
I get the feeling that this was intended to be watched while extremely high.
Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)
Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)
There’s something…wrong…with some of the character designs. Uncanny valley-ish.
Very interesting animation though; I was wondering the entire time whether it was stop-motion or CGI until the credits made it clear.
Song of the Sea (2014)
Aurora borealis? At this time of|
Now I’ve seen little mermaid, Japanese little mermaid, and Irish little mermaid.
I’m not aware of knowing any Irish folk tales until now. Maybe I do; but I just never knew where they came from.
Toy Story 3 (2010)
I can’t believe even this has been 8 years ago already. But, stuff like this is exactly why I decided to create a blog. I have movies that have been sitting on the “get around to it eventually” shelf for a decade.
So…I wonder what’s going to happen in Toy Story 4. 4 really doesn’t need to happen; but it’s going to, because money. But you can’t have a better end to a trilogy than 3.
I hope they don’t recycle Buzz believing he’s real yet again. It was one of the primary plot points in the original film; but they brought the idea back in some form or another for both sequels.
Oh yeah; It’s a but silly how excited I was to see Totoro.
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Crazy isn’t it? I watched the first one when it was new; yet I never got around to watching this one until now.
Al trying to sell the toys to Japan is reminding me an awful lot of Dennis Nedry trying to sell the dinosaur embryos to Dodgson.
The prospector may not be trying to kill Woody; but he’s still letting a lot of Sideshow Bob show through.
Star Wars references-a-plenty; well, Jurassic Park too.
Hmm, now the question is do I watch 3 right away, or do I give it another decade? 😛
Leonard Part 6 (1987)
I was expecting so much worse.
Goosebumps (2015)
I’ve never read a Goosebumps book. I at least recognized some of the monsters; I remember seeing the book covers back in the old Scholastic book catalogs.
I suppose it’s the musical equivalent to being typecast; but I knew the music was by Danny Elfman almost immediately as soon as it first started playing.
It was interesting how much the R.L. Stine cameo felt like a Stan Lee cameo; that was what tipped me off that it was him.
It’s a bit odd having a fictional story about a non-fictional person. This almost ends up with a “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” thing going on, in that I’m now inclined to believe that R.L. Stine’s monsters all escaped in real life and that this movie was written to seal them away again.
