The Great Mouse Detective.

Image
                                       The Great Mouse Detective. The Great Mouse Detective  draws heavily on the tradition of  Sherlock  Holmes  with a heroic mouse who consciously emulates the  detective.  The  idea of doing an animated film about Sherlock Holmes  with  animals was first discussed about during the production of  The   Rescuers .  The Great Mouse Detective  was released to theaters on July 2,  1986 to positive reviews and financial success, in sharp contrast to the  box office underperformance of Disney's previous animated feature  film,  The Black Cauldron  from 1985 which I talked about in my last post.  As such, the new senior management of  the company were convinced  that their animation department was still a  viable enterprise, setting the  stage for...

The Black Cauldron.

Image
                                                 The Black Cauldron. This one reminds me of Sword in the stone but with a twist, the twist  being the  Cauldron.  Set in the mythical land of Prydain during the  Early   Middle Ages , the film centers on a wicked emperor known as the  Horned   King , who hopes to secure an ancient magical cauldron that will aid him  in his desire to conquer the world. He is opposed by young  swineherd  Taran , the young princess  Eilonwy , the bard  Fflewddur Fflam ,  and a wild creature named  Gurgi  who seek to destroy the cauldron, to  prevent the Horned King from ruling the world. You can find this  wonderful movie on Disney+, you will love it cause it is great for the  whole family young and old. So, with that, lets get to the story shall w...

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Image
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This is a really really good and wonderful story with some of the greatest  animation you will ever see for it's time. Everyone says it all started with  a mouse but Winnie the Pooh should get some of the credit cause the  mouse couldn't do it without the bear and all the other characters of the  hundred ace woods. I hope you go on and get Disney+ and see this  movie  cause it is an amazing piece of film legends are made of. Every  part of this movie goes together with every piece of it, the story and  animation are perfection at it's best. So, with that, lets get to the story  shall we: The film's content is derived from three previously released animated featurettes Disney produced based upon the  Winnie-the-Pooh  books by  A . A. Milne :  Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree  (1966),  Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day  (1968), and  Winnie the Pooh and Tigger ...

Robin Hood.

                                                    Robin Hood. I really enjoy movies like this one cause it has a story you can follow  along with and feel great afterward. The story as like all Disney movies  goes very well with the animation and as you know that is a big deal for  me, both have to go together. I really hope you watch this movie cause it  has a lot of action and adventure great for the whole family so please go  check it out, you can find it on Disney + it really is a great movie. So,  with  that, lets get to the story shall we:  Narrated by  Alan-a-Dale , we are introduced to  Robin Hood  and  Little John  who live in  Sherwood Forest , robbing from the rich and giving to the poor townsfolk of  Nottingham . Meanwhile,  Prince John , the de facto King of Englan...

Image
                                                   The Aristocats. I really love this movie, when I watch it I have to watch it at least 3  times cause it is just that good. It's one of those movies that gets better  every time you see it, plus when you watch it over and over you get to  notice things you didn't see the first time and the story is just so damn  good that it is better watching it again and again. You can find this  movie  on Disney + I really hope you sit down as a family and watch it  together cause it is great for everyone to enjoy.
