The Wild Thornberrys Movie Inviso: 3 Charon: 7 Snake: 9 Johnbobb: 9 Genny: 9 Red: 13 Scarlet: 18 JONA: 23 Stifled: 25 Karo: 29 Total Score: 145 Inviso: Despite the blatantly obvious twist that only takes about fifteen minutes from set-up to reveal, I enjoyed this movie. I was a big fan of the Wild Thornberries as a kid (mainly because Eliza was voiced by Lacey Chabert, who was Penny in Lost in Space and I LOOOOOOOVED her, fight me Poke), so this felt right in tune with the series. You have a lot of stake-raising in this film, from Eliza starting out the movie by getting a cheetah cub poached, to Eliza getting sent back to England for boarding school, to Eliza having to reveal her powers, thus losing them in the process. I just enjoyed the fact that Elizas character felt like she was struggling with real conflict throughout the film. Something bad happens that shed promised not to let happen, so she has to set out and make things right, and she ultimately does so without even needing her powers. Its a solid plot and I liked it. Rare for me to not pause a movie once Ive started it. Charon: Quite enjoyable, even if a little predictable at times. I feel like the diversion to England was unnecessary at best and sort of takes you out of what this shown is most known for, but it was nice to see Eliza get a chance to make some actual human friends too. The best part of a film like this one is how it adds to the mythos of the show a lot by breaking one of the cardinal rules of Eliza's powers, and revealing them to others. The fact that now her sister knows what she can do changes the show greatly moving forward, and a great TV series based film will do this sort of thing. It removes the formulaic nature that can plague this type of film. All in all, it's just a well done movie based on a well done show. It was hard to go wrong. Snake: Surprisingly decent, Tim Currys Nigel is great and I though the set-up was fairly interesting. Its animated well and kept my interest throughout, cant ask for much more, especially on this list. Johnbobb: Im surprised how much I ended up liking this. In another movie I mightve hated the early couple minutes of exposition dump, but in a movie based on a TV show from the 90s I barely remember, it was actually super helpful, and filled me in enough on what was happening that I didnt feel like I needed to be a diehard fan of the show to keep up. Eliza is a honestly a compelling protagonist; her motivations never feel shallow or underdeveloped (which is a common problem among cartoon child protagonists). The supporting cast (except maybe Darwin) are likeable, fun and well-acted. The visuals are bright and pretty, the music is pleasant, and the jokes are legitimately funny. --- https://imgur.com/ptVv7Hu all going according to the plan of BKSheikah* this time...* <cite>PrinceKaro posted [p:906886250] in Gauntlet C...
