Current Events > Watching a Disney/Pixar movie every day until I go insane, the topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

I tried this a few years ago when COVID was ravaging the Earth and we were all (supposed to be) locked indoors, but failed after 2.5 movies. I'm pretty sure the reason I burnt out on it so quickly is because of the giant book report-style reviews I was taking notes for while watching, so I won't be doing that this time. I'll probably still review but they'll either be deliberately brief or based entirely on memory.

Anyway I'm using the same list I had last time, but with a few more tacked on to the end to account for movies that have released since that time. I'm watching them in order of initial theatrical release, and it's a grand total of 90 movies, 91 if Moana 2 is on Disney+ by the time I reach the end of the list (it won't be)

They're all animated, not live action, or at least primarily live action. Some of the movies on the list, like The Three Caballeros and Fantasia, have live-action segments, but they're not the focus. There are a few other movies from that time period that I've never seen or heard of but I assume they're the same way unless Wikipedia's lists are shit.

These are the lists I pulled from, for reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Animation_Studios_films
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pixar_films

Anyway the first movie on the list is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, initially released on December 21, 1937. I remember when I watched this one a few years back for the initial attempt at this marathon I said it held up pretty well almost 100 years later, let's see if that opinion holds true tonight.

Feel free to watch along and join me on this ridiculously stupid journey.

Next you should go with movies that are distributed by Disney.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Originally released December 21, 1937

Yeah, it still holds up pretty good. There are a few parts that drag on and just seem to pad the run time, mostly involving the Dwarves acting like idiots. I will admit that there were a couple of points that I was checking my phone and looking to see how much runtime was left.

But the ghosts who animated this movie knew what they were doing. Everything still looks incredibly good, and a few instances are just shockingly smooth. At least one of the animators REALLY had a thing for the dwarf butts and would cake these old men up at every opportunity. Fandom would absolutely ban this man for hornyanimating.

The scene where Snow White is running through the forest is metal as fuck, and the sequences where the Evil Queen is brewing the potion and getting Lion King'd at the end are also really cool.

There are also three characters with superpowers in this movie: the Evil Queen and her witchcraft, Snow White is a druid that can control animals, and Sneezy is able to fire hurricanes out of his face.

The end of the movie is pretty fucked up if you think about it. Snow White's life wound up being saved by three things: The Dwarves locking her dead body in a glass coffin like Vladimir Lenin, the Prince being a necrophiliac, and the Queen being a fucking idiot. Let's examine this in detail.

The Queen's plan to become the fairest in the land is to kill Snow White. At the beginning of the movie, she's straightforward about this and hires a hit man. But at the end she decides "fuck it" and brews a poison apple, but the poison will just make her APPEAR dead so the Dwarves bury her alive. She then heads off to the cottage when the Dwarves are all at work (stupidly leaving Snow White completely alone and helpless even though they all know that the Queen is actively trying to murder her) and manages to get inside the house.

This house, as we saw earlier and during this scene, belongs to seven miners and is filled with metal bowls, pickaxes, shovels, and so many items that the Queen could just use to bash Snow White's head in and become the hottest. Instead she sticks with her apple plan, and to be fair, Snow White does bite. If this was regular poison, she'd just be dead right now.

After chasing the Queen off the cliff, the Dwarves decide not to bury Snow White, but instead to keep her corpse in a glass box and worship it like some kind of cult. Here's the thing: at this point, "illusion of death" or not, Snow White's just dead. We see that an entire winter passes before the Prince shows up, meaning she had at this point gone at least three months without eating, drinking, breathing, or having blood flowing through her veins. She's gone. Long gone. That body should be rotting, kids.

But it's not, and the Prince shows up and kisses a corpse. This wakes her up/revives her as a zombie, and then she just leaves on horseback. The most gratitude she shows the Dwarves is a kiss on the forehead and a wave goodbye before peacing out. The End.

It's got some flaws, but honestly doesn't show its age THAT much. The animation is still amazing and the voice work is also great, albeit with some unavoidable audio popping -- these are the voices of dead people from 87 years ago, so maybe cut them some slack. The main thing holding it back is that it honestly could have been half its runtime.

Final Score: 8/10

That's way too much movie viewing for my tastes. I guess it will be interesting to see how far you get lol.

Damn, you made it 47 movies in though. That's quite a lot already.

Watch Joshua and the Promised Land instead

Pinocchio
Originally released February 7, 1940

This movie's a fucking ride. It's 90 minutes but packs so much in there. It has four storylines, four villains, and surprisingly enough, only one song. There was honestly so much in here that I don't doubt they couldn't find SPACE for the songs.

Anyway, Pinocchio is a classic movie about a marionette that comes to life. Everybody knows it and loves it but let me tell you a secret it sucks.

Jiminy Cricket is the most useless character in the movie. If you remove him from it entirely, literally nothing changes. He's completely ineffectual at guiding Pinocchio in how to be good, everything he tries to do he fails at, he quits his job as his conscience twice, and tries to fuck a clock. And at the end of the movie the piece of shit actually gets a gold medal for it, thus proving that participation trophies date back to the 1940s.

The movie's first storyline is about Pinocchio coming to life. Geppetto originally makes him to torment and abuse his cat, and after the Blue Fairy brings him to life, the first thing he tries to do is shoot him in the face. The conclusion of this storyline is that the cat hates this puppet, and Geppetto sends him off to school without telling him where school is, what to do when he gets there, or even warning the teacher that a living puppet is about to join the class.

This leads to the second storyline. Honest John, a walking talking fox (nobody in this movie full of human characters finds this weird) spots Pinocchio and immediately decides that he needs to sell him into slavery. So he tricks him into becoming an actor and sells him to a stereotype named Stromboli, who incorporates him into his puppet show and locks him in a cage. This storyline resolves with the Blue Fairy rescuing him after Jiminy Cricket gets his ass kicked by a padlock.

The third storyline has Honest John realize that Pinocchio is free, and he decides to sell him for a second time. This time he packs him on a carriage with a bunch of other kidnapped young boys and ships them off to Pleasure Island and holy fuck that's a sentence I didn't want to type. On Pleasure Island, Pinocchio is encouraged to smoke and fight and play pool and become a furry. Pinocchio and Jiminy escape the island and swim to shore.

In the fourth and final storyline, Pinocchio and Jiminy return to Geppetto's workshop and find it empty. The Exposition Pigeon flies overhead and drops a letter telling them that he got eaten by a whale named Monstro because sure fuck it why not. So they head to the ocean, get immediately separated, and Pinocchio gets eaten by the whale. He reunites with Geppetto and his pets and they light a bonfire, which causes Monstro to sneeze them out and chase them down, ultimately resulting in Pinocchio's death. Somehow, the goldfish survives this with an unbroken bowl. (Jiminy spends this entire time fucking around in a bottle.)

They're back at the workshop, Pinocchio's dead, the Blue Fairy says "nah" and brings him back to life while turning him into flesh, and they dance while Jiminy gets his completely undeserved medal. Movie over.

One thing I find interesting is that the "nose gets longer when you lie" thing is probably the most replicated part of the story, but it only happens in one scene and lasts for maybe a minute. He spends so much more time with donkey ears and a tail than he does with a long nose. It's the Boba Fett of this movie.

It's also interesting to note that this is a movie where every villain wins. John gets to sell him into slavery twice; Stromboli makes a lot of money from the show; the Coachman gets a bunch of boys-turned-donkeys to sell; even Monstro managed to kill Pinocchio and get his revenge. None of them face ANY repercussions for any of their actions and are presumably still out there living the good life.

I was falling asleep by the end of the movie, which isn't a good sign. I think I was a little more generous to this movie when I last tried this marathon, but not this time. I'm taking you down a peg, Pinocchio. Your movie's kind of a mess.

Final Score: 4/10

Fantasia
Originally released November 13, 1940

Holy

fuck

that was a boring two hours

I've always disliked Fantasia. Last time I tried this marathon, this was the movie that killed it early, and it nearly did this time as well. Sorry, Fantasia fans, but you're wrong. This movie is dull as fuck.

I gave it an honest try to pay attention while watching this, but it's impossible. There's nothing to pay attention to. I was on my phone for basically the entire runtime, and that's the only way I was going to get through it.

The only real things of note are the guy whose purpose is to mansplain the concept of music and imagination, over-introduce every animated segment, and banter with a line representing the soundtrack. There's also a short part where somebody knocks over a stand of chimes, and rather than edit that part out, they just left it in. This man signed up for a Disney movie and now he's immortalized forever as a klutz.

It's also the first movie of this marathon to get the Disney+ Racism Disclaimer, and as near as I can tell, it's due to the part with the dancing mushrooms which are, for some reason, depicted as Chinese people. Somebody listened to the music and was told to animate whatever he imagined when listening to it, and the thing he imagined was "dancing mushrooms, but they're Chinese." I suspect he was on a different type of mushroom at the time iykwim

The dinosaur part was kind of cool I guess

There's also a LOT of nudity in this movie. Naked fairies, naked centaur boobs, exaggerated naked pegasus asses, creepy flying naked babies, and during the Bald Mountain segment there's even exposed female breasts WITH NIPPLES. This 84-year-old children's musical cartoon is officially Too Hot For Fandom.

It also occurred to me that the core problem, and the reason this movie is so boring, is that every section lasts too long and wears out its welcome. If they were shorter, I wouldn't have as much of an issue, because I wouldn't have had time to get bored of the guy making out with his donkey before it had moved on to the vampire alligators that wanted to have sex with and/or eat the ballet hippos.

...what the fuck is this movie?!

Final Score: 1/10

Wow. I like these reviews. Thank you for writing them. And yes, I remember Pinocchio being a terrible movie as well.

lol goddammit Jiminy

I love Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, but Im a classical musician. I can understand how someone who is not a classical music aficionado would be bored by it.

I've heard mixed things about fantastia. Somehow I actually have never seen either.

But im pretty sure it was intended to be a showcase of the cutting edge animation and sound technology, more so than an actual movie.

I am currently watching Moana. Have tickets for Moana 2 tomorrow.

Good luck with all of these movies!

Fantasia had a Genesis game.
Sega put together a team of six guys that had never made any game before, and rushed it out to Christmas.
Then they discovered that they didn't had the license to make it, so they had to recall and destroy all unsold copies.

I like them as well (2000 not as much), and I am not an aficionado, I just like the music.

Dumbo
Originally released October 23, 1941

The second movie in this marathon to receive the Disney+ Racism Disclaimer. This time not only for the crows that everybody knows about, but also a song in the beginning of the movie, wherein a legion of identical, faceless, dark-skinned men sing about how they're illiterate workers who are bad at money.

So, you know, we're off to a rough start here.

It's worth noting that from beginning to end, the general vibe of this movie feels... off. The animation, presentation, music direction, none of it feels like a theatrical Disney movie. It feels more like an extended Merrie Melodies short -- yep, not Disney, not Looney Tunes, but specifically Merrie Melodies. "We have Looney Tunes at home" Merrie Melodies.

What I'm getting at is that it feels significantly lower budget than the previous movies. It's also significantly shorter, at only one hour and three minutes. This is pretty fine, however, because there's not a lot of plot going on here. It's just the story of a baby elephant with big ears struggling to find acceptance in the circus he was born into.

Aside from Dumbo himself (who is, actually, very adorable and instantly likeable), there are two standout characters in this movie to me. Dumbo's mother, Mrs. Jumbo, who is a CERTIFIED BADASS. She bitchslaps another elephant, kicks the shit out of a circusgoer who's making fun of Dumbo's ears, nearly tears everything down when they try to take him away, and spends the rest of the movie in jail.

The other standout character is a mouse named... you know, they never actually mention his name in the movie.

*quick Google check*

The other standout character is a mouse named Timothy Q. Mouse. Timothy is, as of now, one of my absolute favorite Disney characters. When he's introduced to the movie, he overhears the other elephants shit-talking the now orphaned Dumbo, and says "fuck them". He immediately starts helping Dumbo out for no other reason than because he's a legitimately kind, wholesome person. There's no ulterior motive, no self-interest driving him. Timothy just saw a lonely, neglected child and decided he was going to step up to be the friend and father figure he needs. There's never a moment where he does anything that isn't in Dumbo's best interest. He's showing that bitch Jiminy Cricket how it's fucking done. I'm not ashamed to say it actually choked me up a little typing this paragraph about how much of a great person Timothy Q. Mouse is.

...moving on

Throughout the movie, Timothy does his absolute best to help Dumbo succeed so his mother can be released from elephant jail. This includes subliminally planting an idea for an act in the ringmaster's head (which results in Dumbo tripping over his ears and destroying the entire circus), and even encouraging the little elephant when he's reassigned as a clown, which causes the other elephants in the circus to disown him because they're complete bitches.

Towards the end of the movie, Dumbo and Timothy accidentally get drunk and have a VERY long hallucination about pink elephants, which is really out of place and seemingly only exists to push the movie past the one-hour mark. They wake up in a tree surrounded by racist crows (by which I mean the depiction is racist; the crows themselves are incredibly chill and helpful, albeit they make fun of Dumbo before Timothy reminds everyone he's a fucking boss) and, in the last five minutes of the movie, Dumbo finally does the thing and learns to fly.

Cue a montage of how this turns everything around for him and the circus, and his mother's released and enjoying her life on a luxury car.

So, what's my opinion of Dumbo? It's... not bad, actually. Very short, but as I said above, it was only as long as it needed to be for the very simplistic plot. It had some legitimately likeable characters, but also some... very bad depictions of other characters. It also felt very low-budget and not at all like what you'd expect from a Disney movie, even early ones. I don't think I can give it full marks, but I can't really give it very low marks either. My gut tells me the right score for Dumbo is...

Final Score: 6/10

Tag these are amazing

Bambi
Originally released August 13, 1942

In a way this movie was exactly what I needed after a stressful Thanksgiving. There wasn't really any plot to speak of, so the first half of the movie was just 45 minutes of animals being cute dumbasses. The movie starts with all the animals of the forest coming to see Baby Bambi in a scene that would be recreated 52 years later in The Lion King. Bambi then spends his youth hanging out with a jackass rabbit named Thumper and a skunk named Flower who possibly has a thing for him. There's also a girl deer named Faline who plays the most aggressive game of tag with him, and he gets to meet the Great Prince of the Forest.

Then the murder happens, and the movie's tone shifts ENTIRELY. As soon as the shot rings out that kills Bambi's mother, it's sincerely kind of sad. It's the middle of winter, food is scarce, and now he's an orphan. Thankfully, the King Prince of Deer adopts him (or possibly decides to stop being an absent father, it's hard to tell whether they're actually father and son) and gets him through.

Now it's spring and all these babies animals are fully grown and looking to fuck. One by one they find a woman, but Bambi has to fight an emo rival for the right to hump Faline. He wins, and then shortly after he fight off a pack of about eight or nine hunting dogs and (possibly) kills them with an avalanche, and then he has to jump off a waterfall with a bullet wound in the middle of a raging forest fire and holy shit did Bambi just earn the title of CERTIFIED BADASS?

At the end of the movie, after the forest has healed from the fire and the dead have been buried/eaten, all the animals of the forest rush off to see Faline's children because time is a circle.

And honestly, that's really all there is to say about the movie. Like I said, it doesn't have a plot. It's just animals doing animal things until a jackass hunter shows up to ruin their day.

I've seen people argue that it's wrong to call the hunter a "villain" because he's just, well, hunting. But consider this: He shot at a doe and her baby, which if I understand things properly, literally makes him a criminal. It's also possible that he's the same hunter at the end of the movie, and we see that an unattended fire at his campsite is what causes the larger forest fire, so he's also a negligent dumbass. I'm gonna keep calling him a villain and you can't stop me.

Now, as for the score, like I said above I went into this coming straight off another bad Thanksgiving so it might be a bit slanted. Just watching a bunch of cute animals do nothing was, in a way, just what I needed. But I can't ignore the fact that they weren't doing anything. I kind of would have liked to see Bambi kick the shit out of the hunter at the end, but I still can't say I felt bored or disappointed while watching it.

So, I choose to assign this movie the easiest, most noncommittal score I possibly can.

Final Score: 7/10

Hey TC, you said you were going to watch movies until you went insane, and after that Fantasia review you clearly have so I think you can stop now.

Jk

I'm doing a different goal, since I've already watched all the disney and pixar movies because my childhood was basically disney, I'm going through all of them in release order and checking out the deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes and whatever additional footage disney plus has for each movie, starting with snow white.

Sleeping beauty in particular fascinated me with the deleted scenes they had which were more in line with the grimm fairy tale and also further developed maleficent for better or worse.

Well it is more about the music, it is scenes inspired by the music, and yes some are very boring, but still the music alone should warrant higher than a 1 imo. Fantasia is more an animated concert than a movie movie.

Saludos Amigos
Originally released February 6, 1943

The third recipient of the Disney+ Racism Disclaimer.

A little backstory: this is one of six "movies" that Disney produced under a skeleton crew, when most of its animators, writers, voice actors, and other employees were off fighting World War 2. These movies are more like cartoon anthologies created with scraps of concepts, and I'll be keeping these circumstances in mind when reviewing and grading the next week's worth of movies.

The framing device for Saludos Amigos is a bunch of cartoonists taking a tour of South America for inspiration. There are a few live-action segments meant to educate about the people of Brazil, Chile, Argentina and such, with four animated portions that make up the bulk of it.

The first cartoon features Donald Duck being a tourist at Lake Titicaca (teehee) and nearly dying while crossing a suspension bridge. There's not a lot to report on here.

The second cartoon is about an anthropomorphized plane named Pedro who has to deliver the mail between Chile and Argentina because his dad has COVID and his mom has high blood pressure. He does a pretty good job until he gets cocky and accidentally flies too close to a mountain with RBF that nearly kills him.

The third cartoon is Goofy being a gaucho, I kind of spaced out on this one because Goofy cartoons are always a little exhausting to watch.

The fourth and final cartoon starts out as a Fantasia-like concept of watercolor animation happening to music, but more vivid and entertaining. Around the halfway point a carnivorous plant inexplicably transforms into Donald Duck, who meets a parrot named Jos Carioca. Jos immediately makes it his life's mission to introduce Donald to samba music, ultimately resulting in Donald getting drunk, because alcoholism was apparently a really common punchline in classic Disney.

And that's about it. Just a simple, 48-minute long collection of cartoons following a South American theme. It wasn't bad, especially considering the circumstances it was assembled under. I was entertained enough but I don't think I can score it TOO high, because it was ultimately pretty simple and the first and third segments kind of felt like they were the same thing.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a8d3d2fe.png

Final Score: 7/10

The Three Caballeros
Originally released February 3, 1945

Another 1940s Disney movie, another Disney+ Racism Disclaimer. This is also the first movie of this marathon where I spotted a woman's name in the opening credits as a member of staff, so fuck yeah.

There were a couple core memories unlocked for me with this one. My sister and I watched it a LOT as kids, but I hadn't seen it in over 20 or 25 years until now. So there was a bit of a rose tint to my glasses.

The framing for this movie is that it's Donald Duck's birthday (Friday the 13th) and he receives a package from his friends in Latin America containing three individually wrapped gifts. The first gift is a movie projector, which he sets up to watch a couple of cartoons; the first is the story of a penguin named Pablo who hates being cold, so sets off to go live on a tropical island instead. After this, there's an educational cartoon about birds that introduces the Aracuan Bird, a truly irritating motherfucker who keeps popping up to run across the screen making loud noises. This segment "seamlessly" transitions into the narrator telling a story about himself as a kid using a flying donkey to cheat in a horse race.

Once the projector dries up, Donald opens the second gift, a pop-up book containing a miniaturized Jos, who has trained with Tien and learned the Multiform Technique and is also in love with the city of Baa, a place he has never been. They go there via the book and end up invaded by live-action singers and dancers.

With that part finished, they open the final present and unleash Panchito Pistoles, a Mexican rooster whose primary means of communication is to scream and shoot his guns in the air and is probably a contributor to the disclaimer at the beginning. With all three Caballeros finally assembled, it's time to learn about Mexican Christmas and then take a flying carpet ride through live-action Mexico.

During the flying carpet ride, Donald becomes uncontrollably horny and attacks a beach filled with attractive women and one very out-of-place young boy who probably snuck onto the set. This is followed by a 10-minute-long drug trip that would be literally impossible to try and recap via text, which closes out the movie.

As I said above, this was a nostalgic one for me. After this and Saludos Amigos, I do really like Jos, but I don't remember him appearing in anything else after this. Donald is always entertaining but it felt a bit off-putting how much the cartoon duck kept wanting to fuck human women for a full hour. Overall, though, it was still a pretty entertaining watch, although some of the slower parts started to lose my interest a bit and the final 10 minutes were a bit TOO weird and random-feeling.

Still... sometimes you just can't argue against core memories.

Final Score: 8/10

Something weird about Three Caballeros; back when I was a kiddo I lived way up north by Grand Prarie, and ma great grandma lived way down south by Calgary... we would roadtrip this every year.

Well, every time we'd turn on the TV at great grandma's place... Three Caballeros would be on.

Baa

omg why did they spell it wrong

Turns out that the next movie on the list, Make Mine Music, isn't on Disney+. I can only assume that it was too powerful for even the Disney+ Racism Disclaimer, but let's do a little research and find out exactly why.

...extreme gun violence and nudity?! Wow, 1940s Disney didn't have a single fuck to give, did they?

Looking through the picture galleries for the shorts that were included with it, I actually DO remember a lot of them. More core memories. I must have either seen this movie before as a child, or maybe the shorts were repurposed as individual cartoons. Either way I don't remember them well enough to write up an improvised review or assign a rating to this movie, so I won't even try.

Since I don't feel like tracking it down anywhere else, I'll instead be moving on to...

Fun and Fancy Free
Originally released September 27, 1947

The framing device for this movie starts with that useless fuck Jiminy Cricket engaging in some light B&E while lecturing a goldfish about how he doesn't think things through and doesn't care about world events, which are all great qualities for a conscience who advises puppet-children to have. He spots some depressed toys and decides to cheer them up by putting on a record labeled "Bongo".

This movie's different from the two preceding in that while it's still telling multiple shorter stories, this time it's only two stories at about a half hour each, with Jiminy dicking around in between. The first of these stories is about Bongo, an abused circus bear who escapes to live in the woods. Things are great until he tries to sleep and finds out that bugs are loud and Zeus tries to assassinate him. But things are great again once he spots a female bear named Lulubelle and immediately falls in love.

Bongo and Lulubelle are close to fuckin' when another bear, this one a giant, tears up the entire forest and attacks Bongo. Lulubelle then slaps Bongo and the little bear leaves confused, then sees a song and dance number about how bears slap each other to show that they're in love. I admit that I don't know enough about bear behavior to say if there's any truth to this at all, but either way it doesn't seem like the BEST lesson to be teaching children.

With this information in mind Bongo returns, beats the shit out of the giant bear with a unicycle, and throws him off a cliff. He then slaps the shit out of Lulubelle and they live happily ever after. God dammit if these old movies don't have me typing sentences I regret.

The second half of the movie starts with Jiminy tampering with somebody's mail, then crashing a live-action party across the street that includes two living ventriloquist dummies and it's the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Especially since this entire party seems to consist of the two dummies, a grown man, and an 8-year-old girl.

The ventriloquist then starts to tell a story about a golden harp that got stolen, plunging an entire kingdom into ruin. During this story, the puppets MST3K the shit out of it. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy then sell their cow for some magic beans and it's Jack and the Beanstalk. It's just Jack and the Beanstalk with snarky puppets and a potential kidnapper narrating it.

The end.

This one didn't really hold my attention as much as the last two movies, even if it did have two more cohesive narratives. I just started getting bored of both stories towards the end, especially the second. I guess the Bongo story was okay and kind of fun, but the second one was something that I'd seen before without the narration -- and honestly, the narration really hurt it. Jack and the Beanstalk is a story that's been told and retold to death in the first place, so it just couldn't really hold my interest.

Also what the fuck was with the puppets? Why were the puppets

Final Score: 4/10

omg why did they spell it wrong

Yeah I looked it up while doing the writeup and clocked the spelling error, but that's how they wrote it in the movie, so that's how I kept it. Part of me wonders if that's how it was spelled back in the 1940s and they changed it later, or if it was a commonly accepted alternate spelling (like Turkey / Turkiye), but I couldn't find anything saying that's the case.

tag

When I decided to do this a few years ago, I had to watch Make Mine Music on Youtube. I'm not sure if it's still up.

I recently watched all the Pixar movies.
Going through the Disney movies now.
Snow White is pretty fucking great, way better than I remember it being.

Forgot about this topic until just now. Wanted to say two things:

1) While I personally love Pinocchio, I wont fault someone for disliking it. And yeah, Jiminy and Geppetto are worthless. Geppetto is clearly an old man with early stage dementia who should have no part of raising a child, whether they be a human or magical puppet. There is zero chance that Pinocchio survived for more than a week after becoming a real boy. I hope the fairy godmother went into a bout of depression after realizing she put that poor child into that wretched mans custody twice. Was the house with 600 clocks not a slight hint that he wasnt playing with a full deck?

2) Regarding Fantasia

Originally released May 27, 1948

They don't even bother with a framing device for this anthology movie. The closest you get is a paintbrush that appears to paint the title cards for each short, which include:

• A young couple who go ice skating and almost die in a river
• A bee who drops acid and declares war on pianos
• A strangely religious take on Johnny Appleseed
• A little tugboat who's a big piece of shit (I almost forgot to include this one)
• Donald and Jos dancing to samba music while the Aracuan Bird is an annoying piece of shit (I guess Panchito didn't renew his contract)
• Something about trees, I dunno I was spacing out pretty hard at this point
• A cartoon/song about Pecos Bill that goes on for 20 goddamn minutes

...and I wasn't really feeling any of it. I don't know if the anthology format is starting to wear thin for me, or if the selection of cartoons in this one wasn't very good, or both, but this felt pretty bad. I wasn't really entertained at all and couldn't focus on the movie, and was constantly either on my phone or checking the remaining runtime.

I... don't think I can come up with anything else to say. It was just pretty dull.

Final Score: 1/10

i thought you would have failed by now. i think doing an RNG order would be easier to stomach since you'd get modern stuff mixed in. it's gotta be hard with these old ones and looking at some of the scores it definitely seems to be the case.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
Originally released October 5, 1949

The last of the anthology movies, this one tells two stories; Wind in the Willows and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The framing device is pretty simple, with two disembodied voices (one of which belonging to Bing Crosby) floating around a library and talking about their favorite literary characters.

The first one up is Mr. Toad, who needs a _____ in order to _____ his _____. I'd never read Wind in the Willows before watching this, so it was kind of new to me, and it was actually a lot more fun than I was expecting. The story is about a toad named Mr. Toad who suffers from mania. First he's destroying the countryside in a carriage pulled by a horse named Cyril, then he sees a car and wants it now.

So, he's arrested for stealing a car. During the trial Cyril testifies that he actually bought it off a bunch of weasels in exchange for Toad Hall, but the bartender Winky says nah and the judge says lock his ass up. Cyril breaks him out of prison and he immediately steals a train. After showing up at Mr. Rat's house (who's being visited by Mr. Mole), Mr. McBadger shows up and says that hey, guess what, his house actually IS now owned by Winky and the Weasels. This means Toad isn't a lying asshole, just a really stupid one.

So they break into Toad Hall and steal the deed back. This exonerates Toad and he somehow gets possession of the house back, but now he has a plane.

The second half of the movie is the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, focused on a lanky bastard named Ichabod Crane. He's a schoolteacher who arrives and immediately becomes popular with all the ladies, which makes him the mortal enemy of Gasto -- er, Brom Bones. Ichabod falls in love with Katrina and/or her money, and so does Brom.

After a dance party, Brom humiliates(?) the superstitious Ichabod by singing the story of the Headless Horseman at him. On the way back to Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod has a legitimate nervous breakdown because he thinks the Horseman is following him, but then joke's on him because the Horseman IS following him. There's a chase scene and Ichabod gets pumpkin'd.

We then see that Ichabod disappeared and Brom married Katrina. The narrator tries to give Ichabod an out by saying he probably just skipped town and married someone else, but then says "nah he dead".

You know what? For the last anthology movie, I really, really liked it. Both stories were really well-done and well-paced, 30 minutes each was the perfect length for them. They were also both fun to watch in their own way and provided a nice contrast to each other; Wind in the Willows was goofy fun, whereas Sleepy Hollow was a bit of romance and horror.

Tomorrow's a... well, I guess it can't really be called a "return to form" considering I'm watching these chronologically, but it's the start of a long streak of more traditional Disney movies that I'd been looking forward to hitting. But this was a really, really strong way to end the anthology week, and honestly felt really high-tier.

Final Score: 9/10

Tag, the in-depth summaries have been interesting. The majority of these old movies I have not see, but I've enjoyed reading the summary. Even better if I have seen the movie, lol.

Cinderella
Originally released February 15, 1950

Oh yeah, we've arrived at that GOOD SHIT. This is the kind of movie I'd been looking forward to since starting this marathon, and in my opinion, one of Disney's best.

Everyone knows the story of Cinderella. Girl is neglected by her abusive stepmother, girl gets a magic dress and goes dancing, girl gets prince. But let's summarize this in a bit more depth.

Cinderella's parents are both dead, and now she's living with her stepmother Lady Tremaine and stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. I probably spelled that last one's name wrong, but fuck her anyway. They're all terrible people who treat her as a slave and they deserve what they get at the end of the movie, which is nothing.

When she's not doing chores, Cinderella apparently spends her free time as a tiny tailor, making shoes and hats and shirts for the various birds and mice that live in and around the house. It's unclear if she's also the one who taught them English. One of the mice, Jack, tells her that a new mouse has arrived in the house and become caught in one of the (thankfully non-lethal) traps. She rescues him, clothes him, and names him Gus.

While Cinderella's out feeding the animals there's an extended scene where Jack, Gus, and a few other mice are trying to steal some of the oddly delicious-looking corn kernels for their own breakfast, while avoiding the house cat Lucifer. This comes across as filler at first but pays off when Gus accidentally ends up on one of the breakfast trays and scares one of the sisters, for which Cinderella gets blamed and receives a massive workload.

Meanwhile, the King is throwing a bitchfit because the Prince is still single and he wants some goddamn grandchildren. He orders the Grand Duke to throw a ball that night and round up all the women in the kingdom so he can trick his son into playing The Bachelor. Word of this reaches the Tremaine/Cinderella house, and they make a deal that Cinderella can go to the ball if she finishes all her chores and can find something nice to wear, which is immediately sabotaged. The mice and birds even make her a dress which is immediately ripped to shreds by the sisters.

The Three Bitcherellos leave for the ball, and Cinderella has a crisis of faith in the garden, summoning the Fairy Godmother into existence. This scene can just as easily play out as Cinderella just having a psychotic episode, but fortunately for her it's real and she's off to the ball with a pumpkin carriage and a magic dress and an entire posse of transmogrified (sometimes horrified) animals.

At the ball, the Prince almost comes off as being asexual until he sees Cinderella, and the two of them dance the night away. Cinderella runs off at midnight and the Grand Duke unleashes the HORROR PATROL to chase her down, because the King threatens to cut his head off if the two of them don't bang.

So now the search is on for the girl who fits the glass slipper that got left behind. Word of the Grand Duke's all-night hunt reaches the Tremaine/Cinderella house again, and as Lady Tremaine explains the situation, you can pinpoint the exact moment that Cinderella realizes she never has to deal with these horrible people again. Tremaine realizes that she's the girl the Grand Duke is looking for and locks her in her room, but Jack and Gus steal the key, all the animals of the house throw Lucifer out the window to what can only be assumed to be his death, and despite Tremaine breaking the slipper because she's a petty monster, Cinderella produces the other slipper. It fits and she rides off with both middle fingers proudly in the air, and her animals come with her.

This. Movie. Is. Great. It's one of the earliest Disney movies that I'd be willing to call "perfect". It has great animation, wonderful pacing, genuinely likeable characters, genuinely hateable characters, and classic and iconic songs. The Fairy Godmother even went on to a very successful career selling car seats for decades after it ended.

I'm pleased to give it the first...

Final Score: 10/10

truly a glow-up for the ages

Good read. I feel its probably the first movie where Disney animated films hit the formula just right.

Lucifer was such an ass though. Pocket hero Bruno.

Alice in Wonderland
Originally released July 28, 1951

This is another classic Disney movie, and while it also still holds up pretty well, I didn't really enjoy it on the same level as I did Cinderella. While it does kind of have a consistent narrative, it also just has the feel of random bullshit happening, which yes, I do understand is actually the point of the movie.

I'm probably going to either forget some events while recapping, or mix them up, because this movie throws a LOT at you and none of it really matters.

We start with Alice goofing off in the middle of her outdoor history lesson, even going so far as to just wander off and sing to a bunch of flowers while her tutor doesn't seem to care. She spots a rabbit running past and decides to follow after him because ???, leading her to fall down a hole to what would have been her death if this wasn't Alice in Wonderland.

To get through a door, she immediately starts eating and drinking random things offered to her by a doorknob, which causes her to rapidly grow and shrink and probably give a couple of kids watching the beginnings of a fetish or two. After crying hard enough to flood the room she gets swallowed by the doorknob to awaken another fetish, and ends up adrift at sea.

Alice crashes a beach party and then follows the rabbit again, where she's met by Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, two honking bastards who sing her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter, two absolute monsters who abduct and eat an entire family of baby oysters. She escapes from them and ends up at the White Rabbit's house.

While in the Rabbit's house, she eats another "Eat Me" cake, because Alice learns absolutely nothing. She grows large enough to fill his house and make him think she's a monster; the Dodo from the beach party is passing by and suggests burning the White Rabbit's house down to get her out, which he agrees to because he's a bottom. She randomly decides that eating a carrot will make her shrink, which it does, because why not?

Alice is now double-shrunk at this point and ends up in a forest where a bunch of flowers sing about themselves because they're narcissists. When they learn she's not a flower, they decide she's a weed and immediately become racist towards her, pushing her out of there and into an encounter with the Caterpillar, who's living his best life by just sitting around getting high and singing vowels.

One bad poetry lesson later, Alice eats some mushroom and finally returns to her original height, then meets the Cheshire Cat, who tells her to go meet the Mad Hatter and March Hare because they're all insane. Once again, Alice crashes a party, inviting herself to the Mad Hatter's tea party. After they justifiably tell her to get the fuck out, she sticks around instead and sets off the Doormouse's PTSD by saying the word "cat". The White Rabbit then appears and they destroy his watch, and she once again leaves.

She's in a forest full of inanimate objects that are also animals, and after a little bit of a highly deserved mental breakdown, the Cheshire Cat shows up again to tell her to go meet the Queen instead. So she does, paints a rose, and meets the very unstable Queen of Hearts. One fucked-up croquet game/animal abuse session later, the Cheshire Cat shows up again to make things worse by antagonizing the Queen, and now she's in court, which is another random hodgepodge of shit happening.

The tl;dr of the ending is that Alice finds out it's all a dream and wakes herself up.

As I said above, the animation and characters in this movie are very fun, vibrant, and memorable, and it's definitely really fun to watch. But the narrative is just things happening for the sake of happening, nothing really matters in the end, and Alice doesn't even learn anything. It's kind of the "penguin spork of doom" of the Disney collection, and I have to dock it points for that.

Final Score: 8/10

Peter Pan
Originally released February 5, 1953

The Disney+ Racism Disclaimer shows up again for its most obvious and infamous appearance. Holy shit did this otherwise very well-put-together movie have a problem.

Peter Pan opens with the Darling household, filled with people who idolize the titular character (except the father). The father, by the way, I found to be pretty sympathetic for someone who was intended to be a minor antagonist; being entirely fair to him, these children are absolute fucking terrors. While playing Peter Pan, they rip up a bedsheet, steal his things, and draw on his clothes, among other things. It's hard to blame him for getting fed up.

He threatens to solve the issue by moving Wendy into her own bedroom, which she objects to because she doesn't want to grow up. After tying the incredibly well-trained dog outside for the night they leave for the party they were getting ready for, after Wendy mentions that she has Peter Pan's shadow. He shows up shortly after to reclaim it, and she sews it to the bottom of his feet.

To show his gratitude, Peter teaches them how to fly with the "help" of Tinkerbell, who's kind of a stuck-up and jealous bitch. The Darling children fly off to Neverland and Captain Hook orders his crew to kill them. (There's also a scene here where Smee shaves a seagull's ass.) Peter tells Tinkerbell to escort them to the Lost Boys for safety, but instead she deliberately flies too fast and orders the Lost Boys (represented in this movie as a half-dozen fursuiting children) to murder Wendy on sight.

Peter arrives just in time to save Wendy and banish Tinkerbell for treason. This is the turning point where this movie starts to earn its disclaimer, because he orders the Lost Boys to "go hunt Indians" while he takes Wendy to go peep at some topless mermaids who begin to drown her while Peter laughs. The Lost Boys are captured by the tribe and told that if the princess Tigerlily isn't returned by sundown, they die by burning at the stake.

Hook and Smee sail past the mermaids with a captive Tigerlily, who they intend to torture and kill for information on where Peter's hideout is. Peter saves her by pretending to be a ghost, then Hook, then trying to feed the pirate to the vorny crocodile that follows him around wanting to eat him. They return her to the tribe, and they sing a song that is honestly best skipped, because holy fucking shit.

While the Lost Boys and the tribe party, Smee captures Tinkerbell and takes her to the ship, where Hook tricks the info he wants out of her by telling her that he'll kill Wendy. He then locks her in a lamp and his crew arrive at the Hangman's Tree just as Wendy convinces all the Lost Boys (except Peter) to go home and see their mothers, but they get captured by the pirates instead.

On the ship, the Lost Boys are about to sign up to join the crew instead of being forced to walk the plank, but Wendy says "no". Hook then reveals that he left a bomb behind for Peter, which explodes, making everybody think he's dead. The audience is also briefly tricked into thinking Tinkerbell dies in the explosion (she escaped the lamp) but she's revealed to be fine less than two minutes later, because there's no time for tension right now. Peter arrives, saves the kids, and fights Hook in a legitimately cool fight scene before throwing him to the crocodile again.

Tinkerbell then makes the ship fly so they can return the Darling kids to London, where Wendy decides she's ready to grow up. Her dad has also chilled out at this point and says he recognizes the flying ship, suggesting that he was at some point either a Lost Boy or a pirate.

Tinkerbell herself will go on to star in thirty movies.

So, here's the trick for scoring this one. It is honestly one of the best-put-together Disney movies of its era, with a cohesive narrative that also provides a lot of really great world building and memorable characters. But it's also so racist. I can't in good conscience not dock points for that -- even for the time it was made, somebody in the room should have said "hold up" when they were writing "What Makes The Red Man Red".

If not for the depiction of the tribe, it would be another perfect score, because it's honestly that good otherwise. It also doesn't feel fair to penalize it TOO harshly by focusing exclusively on this negative aspect and ignoring how solid the rest of the movie is. So, I'll go ahead and give it...

Final Score: 8/10

...I'm starting to feel like that's going to be a pretty common score in this marathon, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

Lady and the Tramp
Originally released June 22, 1955

Another movie with the Disney+ Racism Disclaimer, this time because cats. This is also the first movie in this marathon not to be distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, instead being moved by Buena Vista.

This movie begins on Christmas, with "Jim-Dear" giving the titular Lady to his wife "Darling" in a hat box. She then forces her way into sleeping on their bed and is living the good life, having coffee and donuts for breakfast and hanging out with her friend-neighbor dogs Jock and Trusty, who has lost his sense of smell.

We then get an introduction to the titular Tramp, a stray dog who has apparently captured the hearts of the entire town except for the dog catcher. He gets breakfast from an Italian restaurateur who REALLY reminded me of Charlie Kelly, and then frees some other strays from the back of the dog catcher's wagon. During his wanderings he comes across Lady getting a lesson about babies from Jock and Trusty (don't worry, it's G rated) and implies some backstory for himself by giving her a warning that as soon as humans have a baby, they stop giving a shit about their dog.

There's then a pregnancy montage as Jim-Dear and Darling slowly have their baby, whom Lady immediately likes and doesn't see any of the warnings that Tramp gave her come true. But then her humans decide to take a baby-free vacation and leave the house in the care of Aunt Sarah, who is a horrible fucking person. Right away she starts treating Lady like shit for no reason and brought along two racist Asian caricatures in the form of cats, who start destroying the curtains and try to eat the family's bird and fish.

The next day, Sarah takes Lady to the pet shop to be fitted for a muzzle, and it should be noted at this point that the baby is not with her. This bitch left a newborn baby at home alone with two very destructive piece-of-shit cats so she could buy a muzzle for somebody else's dog without their knowledge or consent. Lady escapes from the pet shop and runs into the Tramp again, who takes her to the zoo so a beaver can chew it off. The movie sets the tone as if Tramp is scamming the beaver by giving him the muzzle in exchange, but the beaver is really pleased at how it genuinely helps him move a log, so... not a scam at all?

Anyway, the two dogs end up having a romantic night together, while the bird and fish at home are almost certainly being killed by the cats. I legitimately could not get that thought out of my head during this part of the movie. They return to the Italian restaurant, where Charlie and the owner Tony decide to give them a spaghetti dinner complete with a musical number, and holy shit don't you guys have a restaurant to run? Do you not have customers? Somebody's waiting for their food right now.

The next day (yep, that bird and fish are definitely dead, rip) Tramp starts to take Lady home, but they stop for a good ol' round of chicken-chasing in which they almost get shot in the head and then Lady is brought to the pound. While there, she gets to see another dog die and finds out that the Tramp sleeps around with everyone. She's brought home, chained up in the back yard during a thunderstorm (seriously, send Aunt Sarah to Hell, right now) and tells Tramp off, until a rat breaks into the house through an open window in the baby's room (what the FUCK, SARAH) and Tramp returns to help fight it off.

Sarah catches him after he knocks the crib over (okay, so that's a genuine reason for her to freak out, you win this round bitch) and locks him in the closet until the dog catcher can show up. At this exact moment, Jim-Dear and Darling return home and Lady leads them to the dead rat. Jock and Trusty, who were there as well, realize that the Tramp was trying to save the baby from the rat and go to track him down. Trusty regains his sense of smell to chase the carriage, they crash it, Jim-Dear and Lady show up for some reason, and then Trusty is fucking dead.

Now it's Christmas again and Tramp has been adopted by the family because happy endings. They have four puppies, which means they fucked. Trusty is actually still alive but his leg is in a cast, and apparently it's normal in this universe for the neighbors' dogs to come over to visit your dogs at home. We need more of that.

This movie is another really great classic, but honestly, it's not one that ever really gripped me. It's just kind of a standard love story involving dogs. Not bad in any sense of the word, but also not much to write home about imo.

Lock up Aunt Sarah.

Final Score: 7/10

Tag. Mostly skimming the ones I don't know. Looking forward to more of the ones I'm familiar with.

Sleeping Beauty
Originally released January 29, 1959

There are a LOT of parallels in this movie with the story of Snow White. Mainly the parts about the princess living in a woodland shack with magic beings, a curse leading to a coma, and the curse being broken by a kiss but it has to be from a prince.

To start the movie off, Maleficent is butthurt about not being invited to the princess Aurora's birth party (where she's immediately engaged to a 10-year-old boy), so she crashes it and curses the princess to touch a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday and die. One of the three good fairies, Merryweather, adjusts the terms of the curse so she'll just fall asleep until she receives true love's kiss.

Not satisfied with this resolution, King Stefan burns every spinning wheel in the kingdom, a knee-jerk reaction that certainly won't have any long-term ramifications on the economy. Another fairy, Flora, comes up with a plan to take the newborn Aurora and raise her anonymously in the forest where there are no spinning wheels I guess. Hear me out, it seems like a better plan would be to raise Aurora normally as a princess so Maleficent doesn't get suspicious, but let her know about the curse so they can all make preparations. Maybe lock her hands in a metal box on her 16th birthday.

Regardless, that 16th birthday arrives, and Aurora -- going by the alias "Briar Rose" -- is sent out to the woods to pick berries, where she has an encounter with a 26-year-old man that she doesn't realize is Prince Phillip. While she dances the three fairies are turning her birthday preparations into a Three Stooges skit, eventually involving magic and giving their cottage away because they fight over what color to make the dress.

Aurora doesn't take it well when she's revealed to be a princess whose marriage is already arranged, and the fairies take her back to the castle. Meanwhile, Phillip has already managed to Duck Season/Rabbit Season his own father, King Hubert, into giving him permission to marry a peasant girl instead. And, you know what, I'm gonna let Hubert into the Good Guy Club with Timothy Q. Mouse, because he actually takes it pretty well and is incredibly happy to call the arranged marriage off and let his son marry for love and not politics.

Immediately after Aurora is returned to the castle, Maleficent shows up and creates/reveals a hidden passage in her fireplace leading to a tower with a spinning wheel. Aurora boops it and falls asleep. The fairies then decide to put the entire kingdom to sleep until she's kissed and wakes up, a very short-sighted plan because if this takes more than two days, everyone's dead from dehydration. Flora also learns that Phillip is the mystery man that Aurora fell in love with, and they rush back to the cottage to get him, but Maleficent already did because she caught on to a simple fact that the fairies didn't: Even if the guy Aurora fell in love with isn't the prince she's baby-engaged to, he's still her true love, and therefore the man who can break the curse.

So the fairies infiltrate her castle, where they witness Maleficent being a dumbass. Rather than just kill Phillip and remove him from the equation, thus making the curse permanent, she instead locks him in the dungeon and tells him who Aurora is, where she is, and why he needs to kiss her. The fairies break him out, give him a new magic sword and shield, and Phillip is now fully equipped and motivated to become a CERTIFIED BADASS.

He fights off a horde of goblins, parkours down to his horse, cuts through a forest of thorns, and then has a one-on-one duel with a giant draconic sorceress. After the fairies buff his sword a little more, he hurls the fucking thing into Maleficent's heart (she's still a massive dragon at this point), killing her and ending all her curses except the one that requires him to kiss a girl who is inappropriately younger than him. The End.

And, yeah, I couldn't get it out of my head that even though he is by far the most interesting and badass of the Disney Princes we've seen so far, Phillip is still a 26-year-old man who is creepily attracted to a 16-year-old girl. Yes, I know that the movie is set in medieval times where this was commonplace. No, I don't fucking care.

But it's still a really solid movie. There are a lot of echoes of Snow White (and even a little Cinderella), but damn if it doesn't improve on those echoes. Maleficent is an incredibly cool, competent (except for the above lapse in judgment), and threatening villain. Phillip is the best prince so far. Even the Good Fairies are proactive and efficient, even if they do needlessly overcomplicate the situation sometimes. The animation is beautiful and "Once Upon A Dream" is a great and iconic song.

I can't think of a single genuine flaw to take a point away for.

Final Score: 10/10
