The Viewing Files: Disney Blues

I love kids movies.  And Disney is pretty good at making them.  And yet...

There are just some that I don't get.  Or are just weird.  Or trippy.  Or silly.  Or, let's face it, just plain bad.

 

At least going by my latest viewing.  Thankfully though there's the odd one that manages to not be terrible and save my sanity from terribly bad movies.

101 Dalmatians

Starring: Cute puppies

Original release: 1996

Synopsis:  Dog kidnapping

 

Here just for the dogs and nothing else.

Aladdin

Starring:

Original release: 1992

Synopsis:  A genie, a thief and a princess...

 

I know, I know. Every one loves it but me.

 

But truthfully this really is my least favourite of the 90s era Disney movies. 

Alice in Wonderland

Starring:

Original release: 1951

Synopsis:  Down the rabbit hole can never be a good thing

 

Maybe I just like my movies a little less trippy...

Atlantis

Starring:

Original release:2001

Synopsis:  Under the sea

 

Milo looks like an animated version of Daniel Jackson from Stargate and on that a lone I am hooked.  If only someone else had voiced the character.

Bambi

Starring:

Original release: 1942

Synopsis:  A year in the life...

 

As old fashioned as it gets and yet it still has a certain charm.

Lady and the Tramp

Starring:

Original release: 1955

Synopsis: A dog rom-com

 

Is it just me that finds this boring?

Oh well another Disney dud.

The Lion King

Starring:

Original release: 1994

Synopsis:  Lions

 

Jeremy Irons was born to play a snarky sarcastic lion.

Peter Pan

Starring:

Original release: 1951

Synopsis:  The pirate was the real hero

 

Peter Pan was super annoying.  As was Wendy and pretty much every other character.

Pinocchio

Starring:

Original release: 1940

Synopsis:  The adventures of a puppet

 

It's kind of creepy and weird for a kids movie.

Casper

Starring:

Original release: 1995

Synopsis:  Can we just hug a ghost now?

 

Despite some silly bits there's also a real sweetness about this film.  Or am I the only one who cried when Casper became real.

G-Force

Starring:

Original release: 2009

Synopsis:  Guinea pigs and not as you know them

 

Probably meant to be cute but really it just makes you want to go out and buy your own guinea pig and hope like hell you never have to watch this movie again.

The Wild

Starring:

Original release: 2006

Synopsis:  Lost in the city

 

I didn't think it could get any worse... until it did.
