Heavy Metal 1/5

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Mark

Quite tiresome movie which I actually saw in the cinema the first time around, and kind of remembered fondly as a goofy cartoon with decent music, but this time around I found the terrible animation and mostly poor early 70s … Continue reading →

Aladdin 4.5/5

Posted on March 23, 2014 by Mark

This is easily the second most funny Disney movie after The Emperor’s New Groove, but it does feel a little dated with some of Robin Williams topical references – I think everyone will recognise Jack Nicholson for years to come, … Continue reading →

Beauty and the Beast 1991 4/5

Posted on March 23, 2014 by Mark

First Watch! This was a pretty terrific and absorbing Disney, with some great songs/animation combos, and a more resonant story than you often get with Disney. One downside is it did keep making me think of the far-superior La Belle … Continue reading →

The Little Mermaid 3.5/5

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Mark

A decent Disney entry, with some pretty good songs, a memorable villainess, and some good comedy sequences. I laughed out loud in the bit where Sebastian is confronted with the horror that is the kitchen of a French chef. However, … Continue reading →

The Rescuers Down Under 3.5/5

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Mark

Rather charming Disney feature, unusually (at this time) a sequel. The animation seems to be a distinct step up from the late 60s/70s animation style (though many of the Disney’s from this period are classics, despite a basic animation style), … Continue reading →

Lion King 4/5

Posted on March 17, 2014 by Mark

First watch! Rather finely paced story, with simple but smooth and pleasing animation, fine comedy characters, and a story that stays simple and effective. They really cast fine vocal talents too. I can see why this is considered a modern … Continue reading →

Treasure Planet 2.5/5

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Mark

A middling Disney effort, with some effective, if maybe a little jarring, mixing of traditional animation and CGI. It’s too long (15 less would have been better), but the main characters are well developed and charming, there’s some fun stuff … Continue reading →

Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United 1/5

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Mark

This was rather poor, but I admit I was kind of excited to see a Hulk/Iron Man pairing, so perhaps my expectations were too high. To break it down – Good: a few (a very few) of the shots and … Continue reading →

Beowulf 2/5

Posted on February 20, 2014 by Mark

This pitches up between real-life cinema and more cartoonish styles, and feels like the worse of both. The nearly-human animation feels unreal by its very nearly-ness, giving the whole thing of watching a cast acting through thick botox-poisoning. In contrast, … Continue reading →

The Lego Movie 4/5

Posted on February 16, 2014 by Mark

Very fun movie with one insanely catchy tune that will lodge in your head like a brainspider. It’s goofy and surreal, with plenty of jokes, some of which are at oldschool Lego expense, which is fine. Without spoiling however, I … Continue reading →

Star Wars: Clone Wars 4/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

This is a review of both parts of the Star:Wars Clone Wars 2-D animated series. This is fun, exciting and fresh, and the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. Originally broadcast in 4 or 5 minute segments, this still … Continue reading →

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 4/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

Rather charming, clever and extremely inventive animated movie, that starts well and just gets better and better. I like some of the great ideas in here, like the clever girl having her own protective behaviours such as hiding her own … Continue reading →

How To Train Your Dragon 3.5/5

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mark

This started slow, but got better and better, and had a great, happy ending. Very enjoyable.
