Balto reviews

If you\'re a die-hard fan..., June 06, 2011

All right, I re-watched Balto 3 recently and even though I still don't like the movie that much it is not as bad as I remember, though it is still my least liked among all 3 movies.

Granted, the animation was a little better than Wolf Quest, but I thought the story wasn't very well-written. the escuss use of crappy CGI bothered me, as well as almost all of the characters. Balto and Jenna seemed really out-of-character to me and their son, Kodi, did not hold my attention that much. I don't think he's the worst character, but I didn't think he was the best, either.
I don't really picture the Balto in the first movie ever having a dream to fly in a plane, so I doubt that would be something the original Balto would be interested in.

The add-on of characters such as Stella, Mel, Dipsy and the 2 moose in the woods, makes the movie goofy, but not in a very entertaining way, just in a usually annoying way. Kodi's [...]

Balto Fans Beware!, April 03, 2011

Balto 3 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. True, it was good to see some of my favorite chars again, but there really wasn't anything exciting about this movie. The first movie had a race against time and a bad guy. Balto 2 wasn't as good but it had a few good parts. Really, the only thing exciting in this movie was the sled race with the plane. I didn't like how Kodi overreacted when Balto told him planes' time would come. Progress is progress, you can't change that. The musical scenes Stella and Jenna did were extremely irrtating and I found myself more than once screaming "Get on with it!" Really, all the characters seemed out of, well, character. Really, the only character I sort of liked was Ralph, but only because Bill Fagerbakke (the guy who plays Patrick in Spongebob Squarepants) was his voice. It seems that the more recent the movie becomes, the more it deteriorates. If you want to see this movie, I strongly advise you not to even [...]

Standard lil' kiddie material, March 21, 2011

A'ight, let me break it down for you:

Story-- Basic in my opinion , I kind of guessed it from looking at the cover and the title "dogs vs. plane", tough I didn't expect it to have to do with the mail dogs. And the plane getting lost wasn't entirely expected either, though such a twist is still kind of standard for a typhical kid's movie.

Animation-- Less then good for sure, though it was kind of a step-up from the 2nd movie to me.

Characters-- Good for a kids movie, not good for me though. Stella was just bad and not necessary for the movie, not to mention not a compatible match for Boris; Mel was even worse, I literally MUTE my TV whenever he comes up; and Kodi--even though he was Balto's son--I really don't see anything special about him, sorry, but I don't. Even Kodi's friends were somewhat annoying.

Music-- Nothing special here. The "Everything Flies" song [...]

Could have been Better, Could have been Worse, January 21, 2011

Maybe this is just me, but I thought this was at least a tiny step up from Balto 2. Actually, I think this should have been the original second movie. At least it keeps the same sort of tone the first movie had.

The animators weren't great. The anatomy was even worse and many of the characters weren't even realistically colored (I mean come on, Dusty was purple and Ralph was blue!). And some characters were just hateful (cough-Stella-cough). But at least these characters weren't ripped off from other movies.

The music. Just as bad as the first movie. Corny and aimed at five years olds who want to sing along with the movie.

However, they kept that whole history/ almost- true theme going and the overall plot was pretty good. For example, the whole Bush plane idea was original and most of the storyline is about as believable as the first movie.

I think this movie could have been really great if they used this as the second movie instead of [...]

Where to begin...?, December 13, 2010

I have to say, this movie did dissapoint me. I think they did okay, but they could've done better. I didn't like the fact that this movie rested souly on Kodi, nor did I like how WQ had Aleu as a main character. They should've brought out the other dogs more, or at least mentioned them! I found it weird how Dusty had looked like Aleu. I also didn't like the fact that the dogs were short, and had stubby legs. I also wish the characters had more original designs, but you can't get everything. Also, the characters' personalities weren't that great either. Dusty was just a tom-boyish dog. She didn't have a real story behind her. And Ralph was an idiot. He just seemed like some big ugly dog who thought he was so cool. And Kirby. Well, he was just off. He acted as if he was the best thing since sled dog racing. Dipsy was just a character with no purpose. She just ate throughout the whole movie! Mel was weird and jumpy. Why was he so jumpy anyways?

Best Balto since the first one, November 13, 2010

In my opinion this is possibly the best Balto ever! Plus it had one actor that no could forget, Sean Astin. Great movie and great characters except for one that i've heard the majority who've seen the movie nobody liked and neither do I, Stella. Voice acting was well put together and the plot was an "ok" to follow but i think it went by just a little to fast. It had a very well balance between humans talking and Blato and other animals talking in it, there was never any only humans talk and the animals didnt say anything or the other way around. I'm not sure if this was on any TV channel or not, but it probably was. Well to summarize it all its epic and has an "ok" storyline that went by fast and, now that im talking about it Im gonna go watch it now, Hoped you like my review!

The End? So many questions..., November 08, 2010

Ok. Balto 3: Wings of Change. By far the most controversial of the Balto trilogy. There were so many things Whienstein could have done. I think the most important thing Whienstein could have done in this movie is give a good detailed story to Kodi and his friends (Kirby, Ralph, Dusty). I didn't see that, it sidetracked way too many times over to Stella and Boris, and in my opinion was a complete waste of time, and talent. There was zero need for Stella, or a relationship with Boris at all. What Whienstein should have done was, again, add a story, and add a relationship with two of the four characters (Ex: Kodi/Dusty or Dusty/Ralph) and carry on with that. Cut Stella out, and make Boris his original self, Balto's guide, and add the humor of his annoyance to Muk and Luk. There was no point to adding Stella, and because of that relationship with Boris, and not Kodi and/or his friends, it has began this really controversial argument between the fans.

Another thing about [...]

The Trilogy Finale... could have been better, October 28, 2010

"Balto", the first movie in this series, got viewers all over the world enthralled with the sport of dog-sledding. The first sequel, "Wolf Quest", left that focus, returning to the wilder half of Balto's heritage, as well as added Balto's six children with Jenna. But we all know that good things come in threes, don't they?

So, three years after the successful release of "Wolf Quest", "Balto III: Wings of Change" gave us an ending with a rather safe story that returned to Balto's original passion: pulling a dog-sled.

Three years have passed since the events of the first film, and the year is 1928. Balto's son, Kodiak [or Kodi, as he is commonly called] has achieved his dream of being a sled dog like his famous hero of a father. However, getting used to the rules and ways of sled-dog life isn't the hardest part, as a bush plane, piloted by a blond-haired man named Duke, challenges the sled team to see which [...]

Back To Better Animation, October 28, 2010

Like any other kid when i first watched Balto, it was love at first sight. Growing made me forget Balto but after the second Balto came out i was truly disapointed in the animation, acually now that I remember, I remember thinking who is this Balto looking dog? Also i was really dissapointed in Muk and Luk's animation as well as voice. Don't get me wrong loved the movie, including the plot and music, and was impressed by Aleu's animation. But back to the point when i saw Balto 3, first thing i said was"yes finally back to better animation". Also the plot and history around it is very accurate. But best of all just glad to get back the origanal animation.

The best part about Balto 3 Wings of Change is all the vocies who participated such as Sean Austin(Lord Of The Rings) and Jodi Benson(Little Mermaid). Little Balto testamony, i found Balto when going through a Sean Austin list of movies and in the 2004 bracket then there was Balto 3 voice of [...]

Huge Improvement, Balto Returns, October 27, 2010

If any have read my review of Balto II: Wolf Quest, one would know I did not like the representation of the movie at all. When I heard a rumor of a THIRD Balto movie, I was quick to question its existance. After the seemingly failure of Balto II, I was skeptical of the producer's ability to create another Balto sequal. But I was proven wrong as Balto Source soon annnounced, Balto III was indeed in production. When the trailor was released I was one of many who watched the synopsis over and over again until we were certain the movie would hopefully fulfill our expectations.

They were met.

We knew of the buget cuts and the lack of animators due to constant contact between Universal and Balto source, so we expected minor misshaps.

Balto III brought back our favorite hero, this time connecting him with the era of the airplane rather then a fantasy world version of the matrix inwhich the characters do the impossible with the world around [...]

Rio : 8 / 10

Fun for all birds of a feather, July 28, 2011

So very first review ever. (for this movie on this site, and for me to write) But hey, this movie really deserves a good review. So let´s start.

First off, the look: First thing you´ll say, colorful! But it is more than that. Look at all the detail, the feathers, or even the city of Rio at night. I admit, I´m not too much into GCI but this is what I think GCI should be.

Music: I downloaded the soundtrack from Itunes as soon as it was released. Anything more to say? The songs are really nice, there is no track I dislike. It gives you a nice summer-feeling. There where really talented musicians involved and you can hear it.

Characters: The characters where interesting. I mean who doesn´t love Rafael or Luiz and who could forget Eva? Okay I admit, the humans seem to be less intelligent than the birds but they are mostly just background characters anyways. And who did watch the movie because of the humans?

Plot: Yes we all knew how the movie will [...]

The Lion King : 10 / 10

The Lion King 3D- Review, July 01, 2011

After looking on this site for a while, I felt this was something people would find interesting. Maybe. Last week I won tickets from a local newspaper, to see the premiere of The Lion King 3D, as part of the Edinburgh Internation Film Festival. I was beyond excited (to say the least). The preview screening got given in Scotland, mostly due to Disney/Pixar's next film, Brave, being based in Scotland. I was astounded to see that I was amongst the select few to see the edition of the movie before even D23, which gets it in August.

What can be said about a movie which has became one of Disney’s most famous creations? With a killer sound track, touching story and memorable characters, The Lion King became the movie that made so many people fall in love with animation.

This special screening of the movie was a late addition to the Edinburgh International film festival, and so was missed out of much of the promotion material. But, none-the-less Ediburgh’s [...]

Cats Don't Dance : 10 / 10

An Amazing Movie For All, June 19, 2011

Right now, I recall vague memories of watching this movie as a young kid, back in the late 1990s. None of those memories were around when I was staring at the title Cats Don't Dance on Netflicks this February. All I felt was a sense of familiarity, so I watched it. I am very glad I did! I found the storyline to be inspiring and and the comedy was great! What really stuck with me was both the characters and the music. I enjoyed watching Danny as he, despite everything that was thrown against him, continued to try again and again. I loved watching Sawyer as she tried to convince herself that Danny would fail and eventually leave, then finally turning around and following her heart. I loved listening to the music, which was mostly accurate for the time and was done so well. I have remained an avid fan of the movie ever since that day.

Some of my favorite scences were:

Danny's Arrival

Farley Wink's office.

Sawyer's Song

Brother Bear 2 : 7 / 10

Another Movie To Enjoy, June 10, 2011

Although I believe Brother Bear 2 wasn't as good as the first, it still deserves some attention. A lot of work goes into making an animated film, and Brother Bear 2 isn't any exception. The animation was alright; didn't succeed as much as the other one. I liked the background music, though. I understand that it isn't as good as the other one, though it isn't like Balto 2. All in all, it's a good movie to watch with your family. A great movie to pass the time with.

The Lion King 2 : Simba's Pride : 6 / 10

Bad ending!, June 03, 2011

Of course, i love this movie! And the plot is OK. But i have problems with the endign. When Zira dies, Kovu is a little sad. I understand that. But then everything is all right again and Simba smiles. OMG, come on guys, somebody is dead! And nobody cares! Really, if i was Simba, i would say something as: I really don't want this. Zira still was an lioness, she has got a bad soul, but still..

Well, it's better than just smile and invite everybody on Pride Rock. For me, it was a bad ending.

Anastasia : 10 / 10

Fantastic!, June 03, 2011

When I was a kid, I watched all kinds of animated movies and usually my favorite ones were ones about animals; for this movie, I make an exception.

Anastasia is a very well-written movie with a stellar plot, characters, music and visuals all combined to create a fun, charming movie that's enjoyable every time it's watched.

The movie remains interesting from start to finish and does not over-due its use of comical relief or CGI, which many movies tend to do. Every one of the characters are important in their own right and are given perfect lengths of show-time. The main characters, Anastasia and Dimitri, grow as individuals in a very real way, making them easily relatable to real people.

To pinpoint Anastasia, herself, she is much more than a young woman whining about how unfair her life is or whatever else older teenagers/young adults stereotypically complain about. She's very much like a real woman, finding herself through [...]

The Lady and the Tramp : 10 / 10

The Lady and the Tramp is very beautiful, June 03, 2011

The Lady and the Tramp was Disney at it's best. The only movie I can think of that beat it is The Lion King.

The music was outstanding, romantic, and amazing. So: 10/10

Animation? It's nothing like today's animation, since it was made in 1955, but when restored: 10/10

Voice Actors were at their best also. The best I can give it is: 10/10.

I'm impressed with Disney. The characters were awsome. So: 10/10

Overall: 10/10. You can't get much better than this movie. Outstanding!

All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 : 8 / 10

ADGTH 2, June 02, 2011

Surprisingly enough, All Dogs go to Heaven 2 has proven to be a very enjoyable sequel.

Though it differs greatly from the original movie, it continues from a good point where the first movie left off--the not-so-out-of-character idea that Charlie is tired of being in Heaven.

The plot is pretty interesting, though I wasn't too big on the character of Red or the extremely silly Carface, but luckily they were given just enough face-time in the movie to be significant to the plot and not lag as annoying comical-humor characters (sorry, though Red was a villain, I didn't really look at him as all that sinister).

David and Sasha were really fun characters and they worked extremely well with the movie, despite the rejection new characters often face by fans.

The movie, over all, has a great feel to it. It's much cheerful than the original movie, though it doesn't scream out "super-happy-overkill." The music and the animation [...]

Favourite childhood film, June 01, 2011

I was about 6 years old when I first watched "The Aristocats" so I've known this film a little longer then Balto, I reasons why I love this film is because it shows that it takes place in Paris, France, my second reason theres something going but other times it seems to take for a while and my thrid reason is that I love the three kittens Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse.My favourite kitten I loved at 6 years old was Marie, because she looked so fluffy and cute ^^

Spirit : 10 / 10

The best animated horse movie ever., May 30, 2011

Spirit is one of the best animated horse movies. The animation is amazing and better than any other Dreamworks films I have seen. Its breathtaking story takes you away to your imagination. The best part of its story is that it mentions very emotion you can think of. From happy to sad, confused to angry. I also love how spirit talks all the way through it, describing how he's feeling as the film moves on. The thing which also makes the film good is that the characters are realistic (Most of the time). Basically, its not unrealistic like the film Balto because Wolves don't appear and Disappear every time they howl, do they? Well, Spirit is realistic because if you were chasing a horse for example, the horse would try to get away ( And probably trick you). What also is great about this film is the brilliant music in the background. I seriously think the music in the background is amazing and I'm glad Dreamworks have decided to make the Spirit [...]

Animators Got It!, May 19, 2011

When I first saw Spirit, I went to the theater twice the same day to see it. Now, about nine years later, I am still obsessed with the movie. I just thought it was an awesome movie before because it had to do with animated horses, but now, I realize that there is much more too it. The way the characters look so "realistic". As in their not just actual fake looking horses, they have the quality of animated and real-life horses. The way the animators mixed the two together was fantastic, they each had muscles that would show in the correct places when the character walked,trotted,cantered, or galloped, or just standing still. Each character had their own unique design and personality. That actually brings up another topic. The way the characters facial expressions changed to show how they felt was absalutely amazing. Also, throughout the whole movie, the music that played also helped explain how they felt. Like the train scene."Sound the bugle now, tell them I dont [...]

Truly beautiful., April 24, 2011

When I first saw adds for this on TV, I didn't know what to think. Sure, I don't really remember it now, but I have always loved Spirit. I have to DVD copies of it, and I looked at EVERYTHING. Its truly got great animatiors, and great voices. The songs are amazing and they greatly written. I truly think that this movie is the best animated movie of all time, but I guess Toys Story took that. But I'm pretty sure it was the best animated movie in that time.

Anyway, I just have to say that I love Spirit and everything about it.

Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure : 9 / 10

A powerful love and family story, April 22, 2011

Many years ago as a lad I saw Lady & the Tramp (1955). I have not seen it in many years and I honestly cannot remember what age I was exactly when I last saw it. Mirroring myself as a lad who had yet to mature and understand the themes and storylines of films, there is not much that I can say about it; only that it was a lot of fun to watch and was quite entertaining; which, of course, is what Walt Disney films are all about. I know now that there was a lot more to that film than how I saw it with my young boy’s eyes. From my learning experience at school about themes and storylines; I saw a wonderful love story filled with a sense of family connection and a chance for those who seem different to everyone else to see the light that will bring them respect from surrounding folk and a new life filled with joy and wonder as if you were living Heaven on earth. Because of that, this film became a classical masterpiece that stood out from most other films following in the [...]

Bambi 2 is a really funny film which the whole family will enjoy. The best characters are back including Bambi, Thumper, Flower and Faline. Since we didn't know the rest of Bambi's childhood from when Bambi's mother dies, this film explains how Bambi reacted the rest of his childhood from this depressing moment. Although the film is not as good as the first, it still has kept that disney magic and can be watched over and over again for years.

A Good Mix, April 12, 2011

When first apperances in comercials i was immediatly turned away by the fact that it was going to be another boring horsy movie. I was wrong. In a time were western animated movies were starting to give way to CGI (Computer Generated Image) Dreamworks found a clever way of inserting animated charcters in a CGI world. Animators used CGI to expand on the world of spirit and give viewers a taste of the new. Not only was Spirits plot and storyline interesting the most fantastic part was the music. The music was amazing i found myself downloading the Backround onto my MP3. Spirit altogether was the best split CGI and western Animation.

Brother Bear : 9 / 10

The End of an Era, April 11, 2011

Brother Bear is one of those movies that define the term "to little to late". It came at a time when Disney was no longer top dog. A time when Pixar and Dreamworks were at the top of their game and with their state of the art CGI images made traditional 2D hand drawn animation feel obsolete. So by 2003 Pixar was the new king of animation and its grip on the industry was so dominant that some believe if The Lion King had been released in 2003 instead of 1994 it wouldn't have had nearly the impact that it had back then.

So along comes this sweet, cute, family friendly film from Disney called Brother Bear. It was looked upon as Disneys last desperate attempt to keep tradional animation from extinction. Since the change in direction at the start of the century with The Emperors New Groove the studio had only had two hits with Emperor and Lilo and Stich. So the entire future of 2D rested with Brother Bear. This was it. Disneys message to the general audience. Take [...]

Bambi: Love is a Song, April 10, 2011

To say that I love Bambi would be a huge understatement. I have a huge respect for Bambi, far more than some other animated films.

Bambi was a movie I never had the chance to see as a child, and so the first time I saw it was as an adult. It was only then that I could fully understand the significance of it, and I do adore Bambi with a passion.

Bambi is a terrific film. No flaws at all; simply perfect.

Brilliant and excellent movie!, March 31, 2011

So, this is my first proper review. So I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

I watched this movie when I was younger and I couldn't stop watching it. I was basically playing it over and over. Now I'm older I can understand the movie properly and can make a proper review about it. So here goes:

The whole movie was fantastic, definately worth watching! The plot, characters, music, animation and almost everything of the movie was great! The animators' work definately paid off, I must say. I also suggest you go and watch this movie to see what I'm talking about.

Below are my overviews of the movie.

Plot- It was such an amazing plotline, it was unique and gave a whole meaning to the movie. I like how it's not like other princess movies that focus on love mainly. Anyways, it was an excellent plot!

Characters- The characters were very well developed unlike some other movies.

Anastasia was a brilliant character since she, as [...]

Anastasia : 8 / 10

Fairly Decent Film, March 19, 2011

So, after not seeing the film after so many years I decided to do some catching in order to give it a proper review. So here goes what I have to say, while keeping my mind clear.

Altogether, it was a decent film. I’m glad that research was done so that it maintained correctness to a fair level. The story itself didn’t keep the history it was based off perfectly, but then again what animated movie actually does (ex: Balto), so that was something I easily overlooked. But the historic elements contained, were still something that I was personally fond of and drawn to. It was well done, enough to deliver a fair idea of the background in order to understand the significance of the events seen.

The characters were pretty great. I admired Dimitri the most simply because he was the most developed and dynamic. Starting off as a selfish con-man, he underwent a change of heart and he started to see the value of good intention and what happiness really is. While [...]

Spirit : 10 / 10

Original and Amazing, March 14, 2011

Like many great animated movies, this one clearly has a lot of heart, effort and creativity mixed into it.

Before this movie, I didn't really think much about horses and since I had seen it in theaters I became completely obsessed with them for months.
This movie gives a highly interesting look at horses and it probably one of the best stories about them since "Black Beauty."

The idea that the horses don't talk adds to the movie's charm, because of the horses' behavior and the animator's lovely work we're able to tell what they're thinking, even without the narration (Matt Damon didn't narrate everything Spirit thought and Rain didn't speak at all).

Fantastic traditional animation--great movement and facial expressions, excellent character designs, etc.--well-done and well-blended CGI, fantastic special effects and an amazing soundtrack are all combined to make this movie extremely powerful and [...]

TaleSpin : 9 / 10

The Quality of a Disney Serial, March 07, 2011

I, like many people my age, loved to watch Disney cartoons when I was little. And I suppose I took it for granted that animation would always be with us, waiting to be watched on Saturday mornings on the Disney Channel. Now that I've grown up, I've learned that you cannot take ANYTHING for granted. I did feel, however, that animation was meant only for kids--specifically, TV animation.

I am very glad that Steet made this Source, because it helped to prove me wrong. Granted, the animation is not incredibly well-done, but it's far better than some other TV show animation I've seen. And the voice acting is top-notch, and most of the episodes are not only action-packed, but have their sense of hilarity as well.

All in all, TaleSpin is fastlly cathing my interest once more. Great show!

OMG - LOVE, February 28, 2011

Most of the time, this kind of Princess movie would have never gotten my interest, but this movie really got to me.

The characters were amazing, I'm glad Anya was there, not just some female added just cus'. And Dimitri was awesome, the diolage between them was really good.

Puka I didn't care for, but he isn't really in the movie too much so I won't knock off a point.

The only thing that I disliked about the movie was Rasputin's bones and what not. It made me cringe.

The music, ahhh the music. :-) So lovely, I really like Once upon a december, it's just what the film needs.

I give full credit for the music.

The animation is amazing here, Its just really good. They did their research if anyone watches the special features. And the plot? Its very intresting. This is a very tragic moment in history, its not just something you make a film out of, and I am GLAD they changed it up. ;-; The true story was depressing. (And [...]

Anastasia : 10 / 10

One of the Best Animated Films in History, February 27, 2011

I had only recently seen Anastasia through Netflix when I was on vacation, and it's easily won my heart ever since. I had first mistakened the movie to be from Disney, because everything was fantastic in story and quality. The animation, characters, effects, music, and feeling of the movie was perfect. Usually animation can be a bit skippy, but this film's animation was very smooth and fit in with the realistic image of a live film. The personalities of the character's expressions and voices were spot on and enjoyable. I loved how Anastasia and Dimitri constantly acted towards each other from beginning to end, and how their feelings changed for each other throughout the film. I'm also usually not one for romances, especially in animation, but I fell in love with this one. I'm a fan of Anastasia x Dimitri, they're an excellent couple. The sarcasm throughout the movie was a winner for me, too.

Now, usually I don't like the soundtrack animated movies [...]

Brother Bear : 10 / 10

An amazing movie , February 24, 2011

I have loved this movie for quite a long time. I was very young when I first saw it, and I've grown up since then, of course. This movie is still one of my favoriote Animated Movies.

Why? To start, the animation is spot on and very detailed. It really seemed like the animators took their time to make it perfect. Contuining on, the music is amazing. Even the back ground music seems to just slide into the movie easily; it doesn't stick out likea sore thumb.

Unlike other movies, the background music/ music sung by the characters doesn't drown out what they are saying.

You can actually understand what's being said. Over all, the movie was spectacular. I enjoyed every last bit of it.

The Secret of NIMH : 8 / 10

The Secretof NIMH: Plugged In, February 17, 2011

Nobody seems to be terribly fond of moving day. For most of us, it's a time when we have to leave our old neighborhood, our old friends, our old life.

For Mrs. Brisby, on the other hand, it's a matter of life and death. Literally.

You see, her little house happens to be inside a cinderblock the middle of a field that's been sitting fallow all winter. The same field that is due any day now to be turned inside-out by that not-so-little plow over by the farmhouse. Slight bummer, but no big deal – until she learns that her son has pneumonia and will probably die if he leaves the house for the next two weeks or so. And as if that's not trouble enough, then she finds out that her late husband used to hang out with some decidedly eerie rats who may now be the only thing standing between her son and an oversized blender set to puree. And that's not even accounting for the evil rat Jenner, a walking disaster area of a crow named Jeremy, the mysterious [...]

Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure : 10 / 10

Awesome sequel, February 14, 2011

I loved this movie alot. I find it to be very good for a sequel, and worth watching.

Animation: I'm not an expert on this, but I think the animation was very nice. Everything flowed nicely, there were no un-natural movements, I think.

Backgrounds: These were nicely drawn/painted, and likeable. Many were really colourful, and added a lot to the movie.

Characters: I can't find a single one that I dislike. Okay, maybe Lady's and Tramp's roles were a bit bland, but they still were likeable. In my opinion, all characters were developed well enough, and all were likeable.

Songs: Once again, the songs were all really nice. They fit well to the movie, and made sense. I loved every single one of them.

Voice Acting: Pretty good. Okay, I found Lady's and Tramp's voices to be, well, too much aged/old for them. Other than that, those were good.

Plot: I find it to be really cute for Scamp to find love at his young age xD That was really sweet. [...]

The Lady and the Tramp : 10 / 10

Lady & The Tramp Is Romantic And Beautiful, January 29, 2011

I liked the fact that Lady is a house dog, and Tramp is a stray. Tramp is my third favorite LATT character. And I also like that Disney made them fall in love. And seeeing them eating that italian food made me hungry. I especialy like because it's about dogs. Now, if I were to choose from Lady & the Tramp and Lady & the Tramp 2: Scamp's Adventure, I would have to pick the second one. But their both very good movies. I also like that they made Lady & the Tramp romantic, funny, cool, and ofcourse, animation. Although, I would love to see a real life version of this, it will probably never happen.

What grade would I give Lady & the Tramp?

10/10

I think the movie was pitch perfect. And, I did not see one animation mess up. So, in my class, if I got a 10/10, like Lady & the TRamp, it would be an A +.

The Lion King : 10 / 10

Hiccup Fan\'s Reveiw, January 06, 2011

This Movie is my ALL time favorite. I've had since I was about 3 and Im 13 now and still love it. The sotry is amazing and the characters are awesome. I love this movie and will forever. My favorite part is when Mufasa comes to Simba when he is having trouble. The music is also pretty good, but the story is really inspiring to me. I hope that other's like The Lion King as much as I do! This has been my review.

The Lion King 2 : Simba's Pride : 9 / 10

Simba's Pride - one of Disney's best DTVs all-arou, November 22, 2010

When we left off our beloved lions of the Pridelands, Simba and Nala had welcomed a cub of their own into the Circle of Life... but what else? At last, Disney gave us an answer with "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride", a Direct-To-Video [DTV] sequel with stunning animation, lively music and song, and a continuing story that should have been in theaters.

That little cub just so happens to be a daughter, Princess Kiara, and very much like her father, Simba, she is an adventurous child that wants to play and explore. Simba plays the overprotective dad here, wanting Kiara to be the wise future Queen that she is born to become while also wanting to be as good of a ruler as his father, Mufasa, was and - as shown and mentioned a few times in the film - still is. However, all is not safe in the Pridelands as Scar's former pride of lions, led by the power-hungry lioness Zira, plots a way to avenge Scar's death through his apparent heir, Zira's youngest son, Kovu.

The Lion King : 9 / 10

An amazing movie that will never vanish, November 19, 2010

The Lion King is an amazing movie that will never vanish from your mind after seeing it.

I found that the clarity in the graphics was excellent and the story board has a strong meaning to go along with it:

Never forget who you are.

The voices used for the characters expressed their personalities and actually suited the lions' designs. The music was also another great point. The songs used in the film set the mood and really made you feel the way the director wanted you to.

Over all the Lion King is a great family movie that will never be forgotten.

TaleSpin : 10 / 10

Best. Series. EVER, November 10, 2010

To tell the truth, even though I'm from 1984 and was old enough to watch TaleSpin when it used to air here in France, I just didn't watch TV series that much. And I really discovered TaleSpin only two years ago...

In a way, this makes my opinion even less biased, because I have absolutely no nostalgic effect on it. And to cut it short : I love this show.

On first sight, the show may seem like a Jungle Book spin-off, as three famous characters (Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan) are present - but this is VERY far from the truth, the show being very unique and creative on almost every side : clever and varied stories, great characters, good animation and orchestral musics...

And while this was a series "marketed" with kids in mind, it has different levels of reading, so that both kids and adults alike will love the stories. The show never hesitates to mention "hard" topics : money problems, jealousy, treason, war, death...while staying true to the Disney [...]

Spirit : 9 / 10

Not good, not great, but AMAZING!, November 10, 2010

Spirit is probably one of the best animated films I've ever seen! It has great action and romance with a bit of comedy as well. I also think it's excellent how so much emotion is conveyed when over half the characters don't even talk. It can be slightly slow at times but it soons picks up the pace and has me on the edge of my seat.

All together- a brilliant film!

The Lion King 2 : Simba's Pride : 3 / 10

Bad animation, November 03, 2010

No way the animation in The Lion King 2 could ever compete to the animation in Disney's the orginal, The Lion King. The voices were off and the characters were poorly drawn. But I have to admit I really did like it's plot. Kiara is born, she meets Kovu, Zira and Simba don't like it, Kovu saves Simba's life, Simba kills Zira, Kovu and Kiara live happily ever after. And then that's it. The storyline is Violent, Romantic, Funny, Akward, you name it! This movie had adult like times, and kid times. Romantic and voilence was for the grown-ups. Funny and Happy was for the children. You may laugh at the fact I'm saying this, but it never really occured to me that I was watching a movie that had to do with lions. It just seemed like all these years they were actually humans. They act much, much like it. I think the movie was created because The Lion King fans wanted to see more. But they didn't actually get what they were [...]

The Lion King : 10 / 10

TLK review, October 30, 2010

Well, I have had this movie as top favorite since childhood and it hasn't changed. And I generally skipped around from movie to movie before this, so my family is still a little shocked that I've stuck on this. Seeing as the fans roar (so to speak) about the Kimba/Simba relation, I am not as fond of it as I used to be, but that didn't lower the movie in my favorite status. I'm one of those people lurking in the background, not caring about the supposed theft.

The storyline was very entertaining, the characters are WIN, the animation was -wow-, and the voices of the chars made it all the better. This goes for all the TLK movies, even though 1 and a half (or 'Hakuna Matata', in some countries) was certainly never among my favorite movies, ever.

You've all seen my fandom, right? The repetative line of TLK icons on here, my username, my fanart and images and characters, and my comments and posts that sometimes [...]

The Lion King 2 : Simba's Pride : 2 / 10

Sold my copy..., October 27, 2010

In General; 2/10

We all know Disney's TLK! (If you don't, then its mighty odd seeing you on TLKS...)

But what about The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride? Well here is my review.

Plot; Um, well this cannot compete to TLK, thats for sure. While it does that "play theme", and I didn't care for the romance. I felt the plot was very overused.

Characters; This movie seemed to trash the characters from the first film, though you do see one hint of Nala from the first film - where she pins down Simba again. But their looks really threw it off for me. And Kiara was annoying for me. They had a chance to make they film better - not as good as TLK, but maybe better than it is now- if they had worked on Nuka/Zira. Instead of focusing on Kiara/Kovu. In the orignal scene, Nuka tells Zira, "I got your attention now, didn't I?" or something around those lines, but it was removed being concidered too dark. I - for one, would think this would be a [...]

The Lion King : 6 / 10

Review..., October 27, 2010

In General; 6/10

Animation: Great, lovely, lovely lovely. A few mistakes here and there - but for the most part, its good.

Characters; They were great, though I wished they would have shown more of the minor characters, but time limits is understandable. Though typical sterotype looks on them all. (See my artical for more information) And it left alot of gaps in the character's lives!

Music; Great music, really went well for the film.

Plot/story; Now...it didn't do so well - while it does base off of Hamlet, the whole film seems to be unorignal. I'll get to that in a second. But, the film is intresting threw out the whole way, Oringally, Scar was a rouge lion. But the directors wanted the pain to come from inside the family.

Orignality; Not very well. I grew off from TLK, and I truely believe Disney wrongfully copyied off of Kimba The White Lion.

In overall; 6/10 Copying off of Kimba knocked down some big points in this [...]

The Lion King : 10 / 10

Lion King Review, October 27, 2010

First time I've ever done this, but let's see how it goes.

In my opinion, Lion King is the best animated movie Disney has ever made. Better that the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beat, Aladdin, Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, Robin Hood, and a whole bunch of others. I love movies with animals, I've always have. But what I like most about Lion King is... well everything! The music is fun and upbeat for younger kids while it has a plot that would also appeal to older audiences, there was a lot of effort put into the 1995 film (they used real life ions to pose in front of them while they drew!) and all reviews from critics for the Lion King have been positive. That has never happened before for a Disney film. It did well with people, and it is still very much loved today. The characters were well thought of, the conflicts were interesting and the backgrounds/scenery were well thought of and beautiful.

Toy Story : 9 / 10

A great family film, October 24, 2010

As many people know, Toy Story really overshadowed Balto during it's release; and I personally feel it has earned it.

Toy Story is a fantastic film, and although the CGI isn't the best (as it was the first computer-animated film by Disney/Pixar); it was still a fantastic watch. I remember first watching Toy Story, I was glued to the screen; just amazed by the toys. The three Toy Story films have to be the best CGI films out there (yes, BETTER then Avatar) with TS1, TS2 and TS3 each being the best film of the year.

If you have kids, are a kid, or if you are interested in animated films, the Toy Story franchise is most certainly for you.
