Fox and the Hound is my favourite Disney movie and tie for first of any movie
It transcends genres, surpssses the first movie and may be the best movie of all time. Shauna will try and persuade you otherwise, but don't listen to her lies
So, you guys watched Bambi II with Sir Patrick Stewart as the voice of Bambi's papa, right?
Yes we did.
Also Fox and the Hound 2 is an atrocity.
Holy trout, I just read the synopsis for Fox and the Hound 2. What have we done to deserve this? D:
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
We picked a terrible time to do this. xD So many things to do.
We are planning another one this evening though! Hold on to your butts!
Do I have to hold onto my butt all day? I'm at work and I'm not sure this is something one should do at work.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
The second least believable thing about Mulan after the makeup removal is when Shang tells Mulan she is unsuited for the rage of war during the training montage he returns the horse to her whereas in reality he wouldve probably commandeered it for the greater good of China.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
The third least believable thing about Mulan after the makeup and the horse, is when there was a talking dragon wandering around. What is up with that?
Ciddies are done. Let's get this party started again.

Toy Story (1995)
Matt ranked it at 3. Shauna ranked it at 18.
OVERALL SCORE: 10.5
Matt: Before there was Bolt, there was Toy Story. Toy Story sticks out at my #3 in my top ten for being a fantastic movie. Incidentally, based on the average review score on Rotten Tomatoes (My point of reference for comparison) this is ranked #2 overall with a review score of 9/10. Surprisingly though there isn't much I can say about it. Toy Story is just filled with an endless amount of great moments that I will now share for you.
Buzz appearing in the room and breaking the status quo immediately. Woody being the unquestioned leader and then Buzz shows up and shows that he's being replaced with better toys.
Until 2:30 – The driving scene to Pizza Planet is comedy gold.
The clawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I love this little scene because it just goes to emphases how helpless Woody has become since Buzz Showed up.
Buzz after coming to the realisation that he might not be special, having one last shot at living up to what he's always believed. Triumphant music as he tries to live up to his destiny, and then the slow-mo crash landing leading to his broken dreams.
Mrs. Nesbitt.
This entire escape plan and the scene in the yard with Sid afterwards.. Showing how Woody is a born leader and is improvising with the resources he has.
This scene bringing the entire movie full circle. Woody regaining his trust with the other Toys Buzz making fun of Woody by referencing “Falling with style”. Triumphant music when neither of them die and then making back to the car be conclude the story. Brilliant.
Basically what I'm saying is go watch the movie.
Shauna:Reached the half way point on this list, and we have the movie that started it all. For Pixar.
I remember how amazing this was when it first came out, with its realistic looking graphics and great story with enjoyable characters. It’s still a great piece of film today, but as expected some of the animation just doesn’t look as good anymore. Not that it detracts from my enjoyment of the movie, it just made me go “Ohh, that dog looks really really weird”, as an example. But, regardless of that, it is still great for what it is, and what it did at the time.
Now that I have my “It looks a little bit funky here and there” out of the way, time to press on with things that made this film great!
…And I am really struggling, for some reason. It’s not that I don’t like Toy Story, because I do. I really enjoy everything this movie does.
The characters are well put together. I really like Woody’s character arc, and how he comes to accept the changes in his life. Buzz’s realisation that he was just a toy never fails to bring a single tear to my eye – and then moments later Mrs Nesbitt is making me howl with laughter. True Pixar form there, not letting you have one emotion for too long.
One thing I really loved about this movie was the inventiveness of the mutant toys in Sid’s room. Although the Baby-Spider-head was absolutely terrifying with its missing eye and, well, spider legs, it was also pretty damned cool. The rest of the mutant crew were also cool, the dolls with the dinosaur heads – amazing; the fishing rod-legs – amazing; strong-arm ducky - amazing… And they were all so nice too, despite how creepy they were. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
I do feel sorry for Sid though, what kind of terrible trauma must that kid have gone through after the toys attacked him. But it’s all okay, because the toys are the good guys!
Don’t feel like I have too much more to say on this. I guess it just didn’t leave as much of an impact on me as other movies on this list. Well, not so much less of an impact… I don’t know. I guess I just think it’s a well-rounded movie, which has a lot of fantastic things going for it without anything that particularly stands out to me. It makes me laugh, it makes me sad… I’m at the edge of my seat when Woody and Buzz are attached to that damn firework… It does everything right! I just wish I had more to say.
What a terrible note to end this on. xD
Everything about Toy Story is amazing. "There's a snake in my boots!"
