Silly Old Bear - Winnie the Pooh

51 – Winnie the Pooh

The 2011 film Winnie the Pooh is essentially a sequel to 1977's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This means it has the difficult task of being both a worthy sequel while also trying to make sure it's accessible enough for it to find a new audience. In 34 years, surprisingly little has changed so this review is going to be fairly short and I don't want to be reiterating too much so please read my review on the first movie. The story is adapted from 3 different stories but the basic idea is that Christopher Robin has left a mysterious note which causes the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood to think that he's been captured by a horrible monster called the Backson.

Of course, the story isn't nearly as important as the characters, in this case. All the characters are exactly as you'd expect them to be. There are no big surprises or anything if you're familiar with the characters of the Winnie the Pooh stories. Winnie the Pooh himself is as single minded as ever in his eternal quest for honey, though he does learn a valuable lesson by the end. The rest of the cast is there as well with Piglet, as meek as ever, Rabbit, as bossy as ever, the perpetually depressed Eeyore and the know-it-all Owl. Kanga and Roo also make an appearance and who could forget the excitable Tigger? Like I mentioned in my first review, the characters are very simple but exactly the kinds of imaginary friends a child would come up with.

Being an updated version of the original, everything feels very familiar but with a really nice new coat of paint. The music is incredible and really well done. There were more songs that I expected which made this into a sort of musical, but it really worked well. The animation is excellent as usual and they continued a lot of things I loved from the first movie. They really make it feel like a storybook's illustrations coming to life with these amazing backgrounds and the words on the pages and narrator actually interacting with the characters. I really love the idea of the characters interacting with the pages of the book but I do think they overused the idea a bit this time. It felt too much like they were flaunting the idea, whereas in the 1977 movie they just let it be a reality of the world they lived in.

The humor is incredible again, with the exact sort of word play jokes and misunderstandings you'd expect from Winnie the Pooh. Other than that, the movie is filled with a really great feeling of nostalgia. It does lack a bit of the poignancy of the first movie but it's funny and very true to the original. I do have to make a special note of the end credits, which are just incredible. Christopher Robin's stuffed animals are all presented in the real world positioned as though a child was playing with them, acting out the scenes we just saw in the movie. This really ties in what I think the whole theme of Winnie the Pooh is – that it all comes from a child's imagination.

Just like the 1977 movie, I wasn't expecting anything incredibly deep or thoughtful. It needs something that is, arguably, more difficult to capture. The idea of whimsy and playfulness with no absolutely no cynicism. The idea that a child could come up with all of this and that it all springs from imagination. In that case, I think this movie succeeds. It might not succeed as much as the first movie, but it definitely captures those feeling and ideas in a way that modern kid's movies really don't anymore. Not that that's a bad thing. These stories have a really important place for a lot of people but I think kid's movies have evolved in a different direction since the original Winnie the Pooh was written by A.A.Milne. In any case, if you loved the original, or for that matter if you've ever loved Winnie the Pooh in any form at all, you'll love this movie.

At Last I See The Light - Tangled

50 – Tangled

The 50^th feature of Disney's animated classics is 2010's Tangled. This is one Disney movie I'm very familiar with and really enjoyed before I started these reviews so I wondered how I would like it after watching all these Disney movies. The story is a retelling of the fairy tale of Rapunzel with quite a few modern changes. It begins when a girl, Rapunzel, is born when her mother is saved by a magic flower. An old woman, Gothel, had been using that magic flower to keep herself alive so she kidnaps Rapunzel when she sees that her hair now holds that same power. She locks Rapunzel away in a tower and raises her while she uses Rapnuzel's magic hair to keep her young forever. Rapunzel yearns to leave the tower and see these “floating lights” she sees every year on her birthday. She finally gets her chance one day, when she meets Flynn Rider.

Rapunzel and Flynn are two really great lead characters. Rapunzel is extremely sheltered but shows herself to be quite persistent and brave when she needs to be. She tries to see good in people and is fascinated by the outside world. Flynn, on the other hand, is a thief who seems to only want riches and to be alone. Flynn, reluctantly, agrees to take her to see the “floating lights” which turn out to be lanterns that are released every year for the lost princess. Their relationship is really interesting too since it evolves in such a natural way. They start with very different goals and slowly open up to each other as the story goes on. Their relationship lets Flynn be who he really is and see what he really wants from life. Rapunzel literally has a whole world open up before her when she meets Flynn.

Mother Gothel is the old woman who kidnaps Rapunzel and seals her away in the tower. She's obviously the villain but she has an interesting way of doing what she does. She actually acts like Rapunzel's mother and seems to take reasonably good care of her. She tries to warn Rapunzel of the dangers of the outside world to make sure Rapunzel never leaves, but Rapunzel is too curious. She may not be as scary or have quite as malicious goals as some other Disney villains but it almost makes what she does worse. She is totally selfish and only wants Rapunzel to keep herself young. She's willing to do anything to get that too.

Rapunzel and Flynn definitely aren't alone, however. Pascal is Rapunzel's chameleon best friend. He appears every now and then and is mostly comic relief but he's funny and doesn't really detract from the movie. Maximus, however, is a way more interesting character to me. He's a horse that is part of a group of soldiers that are hunting Flynn down for something he stole. Despite being a horse, he acts more like a dog and has an intense sense of justice. He and Flynn have a great back and forth through the whole movie until Rapunzel finally has them make a truce for one day on her birthday. From there, you really see how Max starts to see who Flynn really is and they soften up to each other. There are also a great group of “ruffians” that Rapunzel finds all have dreams of their own and support Rapunzel.

This movie has a really great “classic” style about it. It feels like they really nailed the fairy tale setting but filled it with more modern ideas and characters. The music by Alan Menken is fantastic as usual. As a Disney musical, the music really works and none of it feels out of place. Some of the humor doesn't really work very well but I wonder if that's mostly because I've seen this movie so many times. More times than not, however, the humor is fantastic, especially scenes with Flynn or Max.

They really kept the themes in this movie simple too. The big idea is the classic idea of following your dreams. Rapunzel has a simple dream of seeing the floating lanterns while Flynn begins with a very selfish dream. As Rapunzel chases after her dream, Flynn realizes that may not be what he wants after all. It's interesting too because The Princess and the Frog had a theme very similar to this where Tiana realizes that she wants love as much as she wants to fulfill her dreams but didn't get it across well at all. The themes here are presented way better and there's no confusion as to what they're going after.

Overall, I still love this movie. It definitely has its flaws. It's not overly ambitious but it does what I think Disney does best, take classic fairy tales and make great movies out of them. It keeps things simple and makes sure to put the characters in front of the message because if you don't like the characters you won't care about the message. I think it is the perfect movie to represent their 50^th feature.

The Princess and the Lost Potential - The Princess and the Frog

49 – The Princess and the Frog

It's finally time for Disney's return to traditional animation, 2009's The Princess and the Frog. The story is about a young waitress named Tiana who lives in New Orleans and dreams of fulfilling a dream of her's and her father, opening a restaurant. Her rich friend, Charlotte, has always wanted to marry a prince and live happily ever after, which she might when Prince Naveen comes to New Orleans. Before she can get her chance, however, a voodoo witch doctor named Doctor Facilier turns him into a frog and gives Naveen's servant, Lawrence, a chance to pose as the prince. Knowing the story of “The Frog Prince,” Prince Naveen attempts to get Tiana to kiss him because he thinks she's a princess. This ends up turning her into a frog as well which means they now have to find a way to turn back into humans and stop Doctor Facilier.

Tiana is a ridiculously hard working girl who is trying to save money to fulfill her dream of opening a big restaurant in New Orleans, like her father wanted to before her. She's a bit more cynical and serious than most other Disney Princesses and doesn't really believe in the whole “wishing upon a star” thing. She's a very driven character and makes many sacrifices to fulfill her dream. Naveen, on the other hand, is very laid back and spoiled. He has spent so much of his parent's money that they have cut him off so he is trying to find a rich girl to marry. Both of the characters grow during the movie, especially Naveen. While Tiana grows and changes in the movie as well, her changes are a bit more confusing, which I'll get to later. Of course, they also fall in love during the movie, and I thought they handled it pretty well. It doesn't seem unrealistic, they spent just enough time on it, and I think they work together well.

Tiana and Naveen are helped in their quest by quite a few people. Louis is an alligator who loves playing jazz trumpet. He wants to be human and helps Tiana and Naveen try to find Mama Odie, another witch doctor. There's also Ray, a firefly who is in love with a star who he thinks is a firefly named Evangeline. He helps when he realizes that Louis is bad with directions and is taking them the wrong way. Honestly, I felt like Ray was a bit superfluous and unneeded, but he wasn't in the movie so much that I thought he took much away from it. Mama Odie is basically just there to bring up one of the themes, which is whether or not the characters are going after what they really need. Charlotte also helps them a bit. She's a very shallow girl who fully believes in wishing on stars but doesn't realize the hard work that comes with it. I'm really glad they didn't turn her into another villain as she's still a good friend to Tiana. It does make you wonder why Tiana didn't just ask to borrow the money to open her restaurant from her in the first place but then there wouldn't be a movie.

Doctor Facilier is a really fantastic villain. He's dark and scary and practices some pretty powerful voodoo magic. He has a really cool unique style and there are great little touches like his shadow moving independently of him. In addition to his powers, he can also spot anyone's weaknesses and desires and exploit them, which is how he gets the support of Lawrence, Naveen's servant. Lawrence was sick of being treated badly so Facilier gives him the chance to take Naveen's place. It's definitely interesting to see a “stick in the mud” character like him turn out to be a villain. That usually doesn't happen. It's almost like if Cogsworth turned on Lumiere or The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.

This movie really nails the visual and musical style of New Orleans. Everything is vibrant and gorgeous, with really great jazz music. It also let them play with that setting with great Mardi Gras style parties, dark swamps, and voodoo magic. They really set up the style well in the beginning though they don't utilize it was well as they can as the story moves on. At some point, the story just gets really muddled and the message is lost. The third act, in particular, is very weak though it did have a great scene where Tiana is tempted by Facilier with her restaurant.

Where I really had problems with this movie was it's themes. I feel like they didn't really deliver on what they presented at the beginning. The movie starts off really great with the idea that Tiana has these dreams that she knows she needs to work hard for. It's really great that they're trying to build on these old Disney ideas and give them a realistic approach. It's not so great that they sort of dismiss “wishing upon a star” because it just feels like they're trying to distance themselves from past works. It's certainly not a bad thing to wish for things so long as you're willing to put in the effort to attain them. If they had just stuck with that idea, that would be great but they added the wrinkle of whether or not Tiana was really fighting for what she should be fighting for. They basically imply that her dream of opening a restaurant isn't what she really wants and she seems to be perfectly happy giving it up in favor of being with Naveen. That's just garbage. She should have fought for both but she just gives up on the restaurant, happens to turn into a human and get it anyway.

This movie starts off so well and just bleeds style throughout the whole thing. I really liked it but it started coming apart at the seams. If they had just focused, pared down on the themes and cleared them up, it could have been so much better. I'm glad Disney is trying to evolve and change but they need to remember to keep things simple too and remember what's really important. Which is ironic, since that was basically the theme of this movie.

You Don't Know The Power of Styrofoam! - Bolt

48 – Bolt

The past few movies haven't been awful, with Meet the Robinsons actually being really good, so I was really wondering how 2008's Bolt would fare. The story is about a TV star dog, Bolt, and his TV star owner, Penny, who star on a show about how Bolt needs to protect Penny with his super powers. With ratings slipping, the producers decide to have an episode where Bolt fails to protect her and she gets kidnapped. Now, this normally wouldn't be a problem, but Bolt actually believes everything on the show is real and that he actually has super powers. Thinking this, he sets off on a cross country journey to “rescue” his owner.

Bolt, our main character, is an extremely loyal dog who just can't tell fiction from reality. He's incredibly protective of Penny and you really feel bad for him seeing how he is constantly on edge from having to protect her every day. He lives in a world where Penny is in constant danger and can't lower his guard for a moment. Penny wishes she could give Bolt a normal life, even for a day, but can't because it would break the illusion the show's creators have created to get a believable performance from him. While Bolt gets a ton of character development, Penny is left out to dry a bit. While Bolt is on his crazy adventure, kidnapping a cat, eventually finding out who he really is and trying to become a regular dog, Penny just pops up every now and then to remind us that she misses him. I like that she really cares about him but we don't get to know her very well.

Mittens is a cat that runs a sort of Mafia-like operation in New York City, bribing pigeons to bring her food. Bolt meets her when some of those pigeons get him to think that Mittens works for the villain that captured Penny. He takes her hostage so that she can show him where they took Penny while Mittens tries to escape, unsuccessfully. She's much more street smart than Bolt and more of a jaded character than I've seen in Disney movies so far. She really doesn't believe in people because she was a house cat that was abandoned by her owners. She finally starts to warm up to Bolt and helps teach him how to be a dog when he finds out who he really is. Rhino is a hamster and Bolt's biggest fan. He rolls around in a plastic ball and would follow Bolt to the ends of the Earth. He also believes Bolt to be a real super hero and is mostly comic relief. He does, however, have some great moments where his undying loyalty to Bolt actually inspires Bolt and Mittens.

The beginning of the movie begins with a real long scene of the actual TV show they star in. It really sets up the world they live in, or at least the world Bolt thinks he lives in. We get to see how they actually make the show and fool Bolt later on. I really liked this introduction since it feels like it could have been the basis for a ridiculous movie that, thankfully, never got made. The movie, overall, is much less silly than Meet the Robinsons, which worked for this kind of story. That's not to say that this movie didn't have funny moments. The pigeons that appear are actually really funny when they send Bolt after Mittens and can't, for some reason, remember who he is despite all the billboards and advertisements for his show that surround them. There are also some cats that also work on the show that like to mess with Bolt since they know he thinks it's all real. They appear a bit in the beginning, though I would have liked to see them more. While there are no real villains in this story, there was the super sleazy agent that manipulates anything he can about Penny to further his own goals. As far as the music goes, it works really well, although it doesn't leave as much of a lasting impression as Danny Elfman's score of Meet the Robinsons. The one music sequence the movie has works really well and shows Bolt and Mittens bonding while Mittens teaches him how to be a regular dog.

This movie is a bit light on deep themes but it did have some really great ideas. The theme of loyalty is the one that stands out to me the most with Bolt being the biggest and most obvious example. His loyalty to Penny drives him, even after he finds out that his life is all fake, just with the hope that his relationship with Penny was real. Of course, Mittens also gains a bit of loyalty to Bolt, even though he essentially kidnapped her. Rhino is so loyal to Bolt that he actively inspires both Bolt and Mittens to keep fighting for what they want.

So this movie continues off from Meet the Robinsons as a story that really works and I really enjoyed. While I thought the themes were a bit weaker, it was still a really great ride with some really great characters. They focused on the important things with this movie, like making sure that Bolt and Mitten's relationship was well developed, and not sticking in an unnecessary villain or romance. I just hope that tomorrow's story can keep it up.

Keep Moving Forward - Meet the Robinsons

47 – Meet the Robinsons

The first thing I thought when I started watching 2007's Meet the Robinsons was “oh great. This is just going to be another movie with a dumb story and bloated with too many side characters.” I was, honestly, pleasantly surprised. The story is about a young orphan kid (I know, I know. Not terribly original.) named Lewis who continuously scares off potential parents with his crazy inventions. He decides to build an invention to look into his memories to find memories of his mother so that he can find his real parents. On the day of the science fair, he decides to test this invention when he meets a mysterious boy named Wilbur who warns Lewis to watch out for a guy in a bowler hat. It turns out that Wilbur is from the future and is trying to prevent something horrible from happening to Lewis. The bowler hat guy, as they refer to him, sabotages Lewis' invention and steals it. From there, the movie takes us on a crazy adventure where Lewis gets to go to the future and meet the crazy Robinson family where he thinks he might finally have a family. Unfortunately, the situation is a bit more complex than that.

Lewis is shown immediately as a kid with a really great mind and great goals. He wants to change with world with his inventions but he just can't seem to get them to work correctly. He's really hurt when he keeps screwing up his chances at being adopted and resolves to find his real mother instead by searching his memory. He really puts his heart and soul into building the memory machine, which unfortunately keeps his roommate, Mike Yagoobian, up all night. Lewis' failure at the science fair really gets to him and he feels like a complete failure and almost gives up on his inventions. The idea of the inventive kid is definitely not new and sometimes overplayed but Lewis is really different. You feel bad for him, sure, but he's a really good kid who just keeps getting knocked down by life.

Our villain turns out to be part of a duo. The bowler hat guy is assisted by a high tech bowler hat called Doris. Bowler hat guy can be pretty stupid and silly sometimes but he gets a ton of funny scenes. It's great seeing that Doris is actually much smarter than him and he seems to get in the way more than help. Doris is the real brains of the operation and it shows that Doris might be the real villain of the story. They're both from the future and they're trying, for reasons I won't spoil, to steal Lewis' memory machine and sell it to an invention company to alter time.

The Robinsons themselves turned out to be some pretty fantastic characters. Wilbur is a boy from the future family who stole his father's time machine to chase down the bowler hat guy who stole the only other time machine they had. He's a very weird kid and they make sure to show that he doesn't really fit in to modern time. I do kind of wish that they had defined his character a bit better. He just doesn't get the attention that Lewis does with Lewis' clear goals and dreams. The rest of the family is way too big to mention. Unlike most side characters, I really didn't mind them. They really helped show how different and crazy the future world is and were also the perfect example of the kind of family that Lewis wants. They're all supportive and care about Lewis, even though they just met him.

The computer animation in this movie looks way better here than Chicken Little. This movie really benefited from it with the crazy futuristic sci fi ideas. That crazy future, by the way, is really well designed and looks really unique. I love the reference to Disney World's Tomorrow Land and the design of the future city really borrows from those ideas as well. The music in this movie really works well, which includes the songs which are legitimately good. The tone of the movie was really spot on too, with some really funny scenes that reminded me of The Emperor's New Groove. The jokes were actually intelligent too, not just someone getting bonked on the head. I also really liked that the story kept hinting at, but never quite giving away, why Lewis is so important to the future.

The themes in this movie were really great too. Way better than the past few movies. Letting go of the past is a big one, with Lewis and the bowler hat guy both being unable to. Lewis also has to learn that failing is ok, as long as you learn from it. The biggest theme comes from a phrase that gets repeated a ton. “Keep moving forward.” The idea that, no matter what, you have to keep striving to look to the future, no matter what speed bumps you hit along the way. Even though they state that phrase a ton, I don't think they did it because they thought the audience wouldn't understand. They used is as more of an overarching theme that hints at deeper meaning in the story. I really love that this movie doesn't talk down to its audience and explores some really great themes.

So if you can't tell, I really liked this one a lot. This is still a short review but not at all because it was a bad movie. It's short simply because I don't want to spoil anything. There are some really great revelations and twists at the end. It's fantastic to see Disney striving for deeper stories and creating interesting characters.

The Sky Is Falling - Chicken Little

46 – Chicken Little

The very first fully 3D computer animated movie from Disney is 2005's Chicken Little. The story is about a young, tiny, Chicken named Chicken Little who sends his town into a panic when he thinks that the sky is falling. They quickly find that he doesn't have any proof and, basically, mock him for a year. This even ostracizes Chicken Little and disappoints his father. He really wants to make his father proud after his screw up so he tries to by joining the baseball team. This is against the advice of his friend, Abby Mallard, who tells him he should simply talk to his father. After finally making his father proud of him, the “sky” falls on him again, but it turns out to be a piece of an alien spaceship. Chicken Little and his friends, Abby, Runt, and Fish, go to investigate and find that the aliens are apparently planning an invasion of Earth. Chicken Little has to save the Earth and prove to his father that he isn't crazy and repair their relationship.

Chicken Little is a very small chicken who embarrasses himself when he announces that the sky is falling and can't prove it. He really wants to make his father proud but his father isn't exactly supportive. He is very clever and I liked his inventiveness that he uses to get over his short size. Overall, he isn't the best character in the world but he is at least likeable. He is so desperate to impress his father that he, unfortunately, doesn't really listen to his friends very much. His father seems like just a jerk at first. He is ashamed of Chicken Little and doesn't know how to support him at all.. You see, later on, that he really does care about him and wishes that he could be a better father. Their relationship is actually fairly well done and you can see how they care about each other.

Abby is Chicken Little's best friend. She's an “ugly ducking” who gives Chicken Little the advice of talking to his father instead of trying to live up to his expectations. Runt is a pig that likes to sing and is very jumpy and cowardly. He's comic relief and, while I didn't hate him, I think he was ultimately unnecessary. Fish out of water is also comic relief but he was a surprisingly funny character. He never really talks but he's shown to basically be fearless and very curious about the world. They use him for some stupid gags but he gets some great moments. Foxy Loxy is one of their schoolmates who is the standard bully type character. Finally, Kirby is a young alien they meet who got left behind by his parents and Chicken Little has to return him to save the Earth.

Being the first CGI movie, I wasn't expecting too much but it looks really good. The result is, unfortunately, a bit less stylized than previous movies so it loses a bit of that quality. I also don't really see why this movie was the one they chose to be computer generated when it would have worked just as well traditionally animated. A lot of the scenes felt too much like they were just put in to capitalize on the new technology. There's just a bunch of weird humor and stupid jokes that are unnecessary. That really screws up the pacing of the movie. The music, on the other hand, works better here than Home on the Range or Brother Bear.

The father and son theme actually worked pretty well but they were definitely not as subtle about it as they could have been. This movie still talks down to it's audience. I feel like the characters are always vocalizing about the feeling they're feeling so there's no confusion for the audience. The characters themselves are also really one dimensional and the story just isn't that interesting. They, once again, stuffed in another needless romance between Chicken Little and Abby. If they really wanted to do that they should have actually given them some more time together but I don't know if that would have taken away from the movie, ultimately. The final result of all of this is a movie that just feels a bi soulless.

So this movie is definitely not great. It's really shallow and just a vehicle to show off their new techniques. The relationship better Chicken Little and his father was good, but not a very deep insight into a father and son relationship. Disney really needs to realize that their audience isn't stupid and you can make movies that kids enjoy that are still nuanced and intelligent. The beginning of the movie really promises that it's going to be different than usual Disney fare but if this is their idea of different and better, I'm really worried.

The Skies Are Cloudy All Day - Home on the Range

45 – Home on the Range

Today's movie is 2004's Home on the Range. I'm not gonna lie, this movie feels like yet another part of a desperate attempt by Disney to make themselves relevant again. The story is about three cows, Maggie, Mrs. Calloway and Grace, that have to work together to save their farm from foreclosure. They decide to hunt down a criminal, Alameda Slim, for bounty. Alameda has been stealing cattle from farms which end up bankrupting them. Maggie has a personal vendetta, as the farm she came from was closed because of his actions.

Maggie is one of the main cows of the story. She is a show off, really cocky and just all around unlikeable. Her personal problems with Alameda really make me think she's just selfish. Mrs. Calloway is a cow that is much more serious, prim and proper. She likes to be a leader and doesn't like Maggie's attitude. She's just as bad since she clearly only cares about being the leader and doesn't like the outgoing Maggie. Grace is their ditzy friend that is much more calm and peaceful. She is probably the most likeable of the group but she doesn't do anything but keep the peace between Maggie and Mrs. Calloway.

Aside from them, there's Buck, a horse who is very eager to prove himself and wants to go on adventures. Alameda Slim is a really bizarre villain. He isn't scary at all but I really don't know if making a really scary villain would fit for this sort of lighthearted movie. He likes to yodel so I suppose that's something new. Rico is a bounty hunter that everyone loves but is actually revealed to be employed by Slim. There are a bunch of other random characters too but none of them really do anything that needs mentioning.

This movie is just the most cookie cutter plot I've ever seen. It's just another “we gotta save the farm from foreclosure!” movie with a ridiculous idea of how to get the money. It presents itself as a lighthearted movie but the humor is so awful and dumb. This movie, like Brother Bear, talks down to its audience. The characters are really boring and one dimensional. Alameda's whole reason for being a villain is ridiculous, even for a comedy. He's upset that he got fired from a farm for yodeling. Even the animation is a notch below the rest of their work with just really terrible backgrounds and uninspired visuals. The score is ok, nothing special. The music sequences are stupid but, thankfully, there are few.

So again, this isn't a long review like most of my others. There really isn't that much to say. I would just be repeating myself over and over if I analyzed the movie more deeply. They clearly didn't even try to make something that was smart and worthwhile. They just wanted to make something that could turn a profit for them. It's just not genuine and it feels like they've just rolled over and died. This movie and Brother Bear just feel like they took ideas for shorts from the old package movies and just blew them up to fill time. It's a shame too since this is the last traditionally animated film quite a while. It definitely doesn't live up to the legacy Disney created.
