Sorry to hear Wish is terrible, but then I wasn’t really expecting otherwise. I just don't think Jennifer Lee is the person to be running Disney… Could have done so much more for a proper 100th anniversary movie. From the start, Wish just sounded so insipid! I know I Cassandra'ed this earlier on, b...

Of course, nowadays, the young kids like to use: but we take your meaning.

Soul, Turning Red, Lightyear, the last six MCU, Strange World, Encanto, Artemis Fowl... Despite my loyalty for getting folks back in to the theaters, I just haven't been having much luck with the Disney movies I passed on and waited for D+ instead. They tend to confirm my better judgment. (Well, oka...

Oo, is "Christmas with Walt Disney" another rare 50s-60s special from the Archive, or just D+'s own thrown-together cash-in?

I dare not hope they finally dug up Walt's Peter Pan Christmas-special that never appeared on the discs like the Alice special did.

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story has a great *look* to it, but the film goes nowhere! It is, however, completely batty, random and nonsensical that it’s kind of loveable for those reasons. This was early-90s, back before Spielberg and Katzenberg got together to make more DreamWorks Lion King clones, ...

(Darn, before clicking, I thought it was going to be the Holy Ayy Pledjii...)

Hahahaha…"semi-classic". Night At The Opera and Day At The Races are considered the apex of their MGMs, with (slightly) more coherent plots than even their gag-based Paramounts. So the Marxes is a must — one of their best — (Groucho gives Margaret Dumont a horse pill) Lawyer: "Isn't that a little l...

Here's my annual look at our Charlie Brown Christmas display. I'm in the centre of the yard in the second photo, setting it up.

Neighborhood lights and display contest??
Ohhh, even our own Randall's gone commercial!

One Twitter user pointed out a rather notable point about 20's animateds: https://twitter.com/TheRealJimsYT/status/1724110710651728054 Just like Mario before, Chris Pratt's Garfield also has daddy issues. How hard was it to make a story about Garfield, Odie, and Jon? Why should anyone care about Gar...

Even Disney+ is jumping on the "Modern trailer" trend for overlooked Ron Miller-era titles:

And the emotions STILL look uncannily like Jim Henson creations...

Yeah, whatever happened to the old Katzenberg glory-days of "Animation is dead, because nobody went to see Ruby Gillman!"?

Temple of Doom involved the villain ripping out someone's heart. Everyone complained about how it shouldn't have gotten a PG rating and how it portrays Indians as savages who eat monkey brains. And about how nails-on-chalkboard annoying Kate Capshaw was compared to Karen Allen, and then made inappr...

Of the many reasons given for the film's underperformance, congratulations:
I'm pretty sure you are the FIRST person on planet Earth to offer that rationalization.

(The safer theories went with "Old", "Depressing", and "No Spielberg".)

One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board. That definitely SOUNDS like a p...
