Disney Movie Marathon

[Marshall Banana]

I was really, really, really young when I watched Bambi, so I don't remember any of it. Watching it next week will be like watching it for the first time!

[Shlup]

Even though it's not on the list, I watched Mulan II again. I forgot how much I disagree with the principles of that movie. This whole "my duty is to my heart" theme is just irritating. So we all follow our hearts and (SPOILER)marry only someone we love even when doing so basically guarantees that (SPOILER)your freaking country will be invaded and people will die seems pretty damn selfish to me. I do not think the Chinese would approve.

And, of course, (SPOILER)the dude the princess is arranged to marry, and her father, are made to be totally gross so that their choice to be selfish hos is further justified. Not to mention that the freaking bad guy is (SPOILER)Mushu, whose selfishness reaches epic proportions.

Other than disagreeing with the entire moral of the story, though, I thought it was pretty well executed. I still like it. *shrug*

I saw Bambi when I was 5! I cried a lot. During the sad sad sad scene, my Mom told me that Bambi's mom went away to go food shopping for Bambi and that she'd come back after we left the movie theatre. I was satisfied with that answer! XD

I wish I could appreciate old Disney the way you guys do. I love The Black Cauldron for its lack of song (I -really- don't like songs in old Disney movies) and epic fantasy nature

I'll maybe join in, in a few weeks. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin were awesomeness :] And Mulan

Fantasia is boring.

Fantasia is not boring!

Bambi is boring.

The animation is really pretty, but the dinosaur segment was putting me to sleep.

I still can't believe that Mickey brutally murdered the broom that he brought to life. I was shocked to see such a thing.

[Shlup]

Yeah that's some crazy right there.

[Kossage]

Mulan II was one of those DTV sequels that I actually liked. I found its story interesting (even if Mushu's role in it kind of surprised me) and the overall love stuff was handled well. The animation looked quite good throughout most of the film, and there were some beautiful songs mixed in. Joel McNeely's score is stunningly beautiful (almost on par with Jerry Goldsmith's score for the original Mulan), and Haley Westernra performing the love theme "Here Beside Me" is awesome.

Fantasia is actually one of the few Disney films that nearly made me fall asleep whenever I've watched it all the way through. As much as I love the gorgeous animation, its seamless mixing with powerful music and the iconic scenes (e.g. Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, the dinosaurs during the Rite of Spring sequence, Chernabog during the Night on Bald Mountain sequence) it's also one of the longest Disney films and has some mind-numbing bits that really require one to be in a proper mood to fully appreciate them.

Bambi is one of my favourite Disney films. It has a wonderful and poignant story, some of the most stunning animation from Disney's Golden Age, great voice actors, fascinating and memorable characters, gorgeous songs and score ("Love is a Song" and "Looking for Romance (I Bring You a Song)" in particular are still some of my favourite Disney tunes) and beautiful impressionistic artwork.

Yeah. I might have appreciated Fantasia more on another day in a different mood, but today I honestly didn't have the patience to enjoy it as much as I felt I should.

I just watched Bambi. It's cute, but it could be better! I don't think I would watch it again.

I was disappointed that Flower grew up to have a manly voice. I thought that Flower was a girl.

I don't like Mr. Owl

I love that Flower is a boy! So lady-like.

I loved Fantasia

I always wanted to rent it because you know, I'm into classical music and , but everyone's like 'it's not a REAL movie, you won't like it'

smurf them >:[ smurf them to musical hell!

I don't think i've ever watched Bambi, but the little Golden square book for it was the first book I ever read by myself.

I liked it better when Brandy played Cinderella.
