Disney Movie Reviews

This is absolutely one of the worst examples of Disney's animation at work while forgetting they make CHILDREN'S films. The scene with the donkey who still remembers he is a boy... It's too much, people. Children SHOULD NOT be exposed to this kind of imagery. It's horrid.

Absolutley do not let your children watch this. You like cartoons and want to watch, fine. But, not the kids.

While Pinocchio may be considered one of Disney's classics, some of the scenes/content in this older animation would not be shown or considered appropriate in today's children's movies. Gepetto is shown smoking in bed. Many of the characters smoke. Young boys are brought -- as a treat -- to a place where they can smoke, "drink" (something frothy like beer or root beer), and act very destructively as much as they want. The boys are tricked into thinking this is a fun place to go but are turned into donkeys and sold to work in mines -- never again to see their families. In the end, old Gepetto does get his wish. Pinocchio is a real boy. And old Gepetto gets to share his bed with the young boy. While all such scenes could be used for discussing appropriate behavior, I wouldn't recommend showing this movie to children. I made the mistake of showing this to my 4 and 2 yr olds. This is one those films I won't show over and over.

Walt Disney in my belief never topped his stunning achievement in movie animation with "Pinocchio", the classic children's story based on the equally classic late 19th Century story by Carlo Collodi. Indeed this story is truly for children and adults alike with it's message of the universal value of honesty towards others and ones self, and the real worth to be obtained from personal integrity in all things. Released in 1940 after the stunning success of Disney's first excursion into animated feature films with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinocchio", is the studio's supreme achievement that has enchanted and enthralled each new generation with it's simple message and delightful characters.

"Pinocchio", tells the story of a kind and loving woodcarver named Geppetto who produces beautiful clocks, toys and music boxes out of all kinds of wood. He is loved and admired for his great skill however his one wish in life is to have a son as he has no children. Looking at his completed wooden puppet of a young boy he names him Pinocchio and goes to sleep praying that he might have a son just like Pinocchio. During the night the Blue Fairy appears in Geppetto's house and grants his fervent wish bringing the little wooden puppet to life. Her words to Pinnochio are "prove yourself to be brave, truthful and unselfish and someday you will be a real boy". To help him in this task the Blue fairy provides him with a "conscience" in the form of Jiminy Cricket who is to look out for him. Upon waking Geppetto is delighted to discover that his wish has been granted and that Pinocchio has come to life. His joy however is short lived when after sending Pinocchio off to begin his schooling the naive puppet is abducted by a sinister Fox called Honest John who takes Pinocchio to the travelling carnival of Stromboli a cruel and nasty man who imprisons Pinnochio and forces him to perform in his show. Alerted by Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio is rescued by the Blue Fairy after he learns a hard lesson about telling the truth when his nose grows larger with each successive lie. Heading home they run afoul of Honest John again who in another of his schemes is working with his client Coachman in getting boys to be sent to Pleasure Island in the belief that they are going on vacation but with the real intent of turning them into donkeys to work as slaves for Coachman in his mines. Once on the island everything seems wonderful as the amusement park offers everything they want for free and the boys are given a constant supply of drink and alcohol. Only later is the sinister purpose of the island discovered by Jiminy Cricket by which time it is too late as the boys have begun to turn into donkeys and are being loaded on a boat being sent to the mines. Before Pinocchio's transformation is complete Jiminy and Pinocchio escape and return home again only to find the heart broken Geppetto has gone looking for Pinocchio and has been swallowed by a famous whale called Monstro. Going under water to try and find him the pair encounter the deadly Monstro who also engulfs them and by a miracle they find Geppetto along with Figaro the cat and Cleo the goldfish safe and sound. Starting a fire inside the whale they manage to be blown outside and after a terrifying pursuit by a very angry Monstro manage to safely get to the shore. Once safely home the transformation promised by the Blue Fairy if Pinocchio displayed the qualities of bravery honesty and kindness to others, takes place and the wooden Pinocchio becomes a real boy of flesh and blood and the son Geppetto always wanted.

"Pinocchio", is a timeless story graced with beautiful characters that all too often show their human side. I believe this very human element to the characters is what has endeared this film to generations of movie goers. Winner of the 1940 Academy Award for Best song with the unforgettable "When You Wish Upon A Star" which has become the Disney trade mark tune ever since, the production has so much to offer in every department. The quality of the animation is peerless here and the modern Disney efforts could not compare with it in overall quality and execution. The characters created from the original work by Carlo Collodi are just as memorable with Pinocchio the unforgettable little puppet who learns to become a real boy, being one of the best characters to come out of the Disney films. Voiced by child actor Dickie Jones, he gives Pinocchio just the right elements of boyish innocence and show biz panache to make him a delightful character. Jiminy Cricket also is without doubt one of the strengths in this story with his "conscience" job often leading to amusing and hair raising situations that even he often doesn't want to be a part of.

Treasured as a great children's classic "Pinocchio", certainly has it's scary elements such as the boys turning into donkeys and the frightening battle with the whale at sea which might not be suitable for really young children. However apart from that adults can enjoy this story just as much as children with its age old moral lesson of doing good by others for your own good. I have loved "Pinocchio", since I was a child and along with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", is the film that best represents the true brillance of Walt Disney's creativity. Promise yourself at least one viewing of this great classic as it will move you as no other animated feature can with its simple message and beautiful characters.

Disney's animated Peter Pan movie is a good movie, I really enjoyed watching it, I liked the story, the animation, the voices and the catchy songs and I recommend this highly to fans of Disney movies.

Of all the Disney adaptated tales, Peter Pan was proably one of the best. While not as Dark as JM Barrie's original story, it keeps the spirit of the original work and makes it family friendly without betraying it (Hercules anyone? Talk about completly gutting the source material). This is an acceptable adaptation in comparrison to Hercules.

Peter's arrogance and pretty much being oblivious to the way the girls around him feel about him is right on point. Tink, Wendy, and even Tiger Lily all want Peter to be something he can never be, a man. While his willingness to sacrafice for the good of others and be a knight in shinning armor of sorts must be what draws the girls in, but on a personal level he can never connect in a mature way. Even when he starts out on a nobel effort (like saving Tiger Lily) he gets so caught up in the game he just about forgets that he's there to save the young lady. This is certainly an impression of Peter given in the book. You can't really hate him for his moments of being a silly boy, especially when it comes to girls, because that's all he is and all he can ever be, a boy. And as for the 'jealouse women' reactions that circle the film, it's important to note they're not women -- they're girls. Yes, Tink is a fairy but her sense of things seems to be at the same level as Wendy.

Some of the complaints I've heard about the film are the way the Indians are portrayed. And quite a few lines ('ugh', 'How', the 'red man' song) are proably an unfortunate product of the time. But the fact is, when I was a kid I did run around saying 'bwah, bwah, bwah' when I played 'Indian'. So it makes sense in a world locked into a child's sense of the world the indians (to proper english children) would be a bit exagurated.

So all in all, Disney did a pretty good job adapting this into a film. And it's still a favorite. All in all it's a good peice. I'm a grown woman still hoping Peter will visit my window one day. And my little sisters love the movie.

I love this movie, as I do all the earlier Disney animations. I read the review by Carolinapooh, and I, too, remember that the part about clapping to keep Tinkerbell alive was in the movie! If you watch it, you will see Tinkerbell fading, and then there is an abrupt cut and suddenly she's OK. Why would they have taken it out? Maybe they think kids today are just too sophisticated for that, and sadly, they may be right.

Disney's version, although not as true to the original atmosphere and storyline of the books, is a delightful family feature. Kathryn Beaumont's voice performance is very sweet and sympathetic. The animation in this film is spectacular, bringing
the colour of the characters to life. The music score and songs
will get the kiddies going, and has a sensible charm that will also entertain the adults too. Overall, a nice movie.

FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this to be "cleand up" and put in 5.1 surround and/or DTS. This by far is my favorite Disney film and in it's release date in 1951 was hugely criticized. I believe I once read that Walt himself had apologized to the American public for it, but that was probably the "times" back then. There are so many messages and references in the film, that wrapped up around Lewis Carroll's original story with Disney's great animation that many people will agree with me... you may love it or hate it, but it's definitely not boring. Thank you for re-releasing this!!!!! :)

I love this movie, i had it on VHS from the 80s, however, it got wrecked, i was going to buy this gold collection version, however, when i bought Sleeping Beauty Special Edition on DVD, it came with a booklet and said that in sometime in 2004. Disney will reissue this film in a 2-disc special edition. The 2-disc will probably show the film im widescreen. So everyone If u can wait, save your money for the 2-disc special edition of this film! Alice in wonderland is a great movie, i highly recommend it!

Que sorpresa! Crazy/Beautiful fue una agradable sorpresa, la primera vez que supe de esta película tuve un presentimiento de que era especial y la verdad no me equivoque. Comienza con los tradicionales clichés sobre el chico pobre y la chica rica que se enamoran, pero poco a poco el director muy habilmente estructura la pelicula y al final nos entrega una hermosa enseñanza del poder del verdadero amor. Es una película para adolecentes que cualquier adulto valorará por su mensaje. Pero no solo la dirección se lleva un aplauso, pues Kirsten Dunst nuevamente nos muestra que estamos en presencia de una de las mejores y mas prometedoras actrices jovenes de Hollywood. La actuación de Jay Hernandez es correcta y no se deja opacar por la extraordinaria actuación de Dunst. Solo me queda decirles que vean esta hermosa pelicula y que la disfruten con alguien muy especial.

In Crazy/Beautiful, Nicole, the self-destructive, party-hearty daughter of a California congressman meets Carlos, a well-grounded, ambitious jock with dreams of flying planes for the Navy. A Hispanic young man from the "other side of the tracks," Carlos spends hours each day just riding the bus to attend the best high school possible for his academic future. Nicole cuts class. Carlos shares a loving, respectful relationship with his single mom. Nicole and her workaholic father barely talk (her mother committed suicide years earlier), and she and her young stepmom are downright hostile to each other. Carlos is reasonably modest and temperate. The promiscuous Nicole wears revealing outfits, and abuses drugs and alcohol. So when they catch each other?s eye on the beach (she?s stabbing trash, serving time for a DUI), it?s the genesis of a moral and cultural train wreck. Or could it be true love? The question is, will Nicole drag Carlos into her bawdy world or will his love become the catalyst that straightens out her life?

After recent turns in the cheeky cheerleader hit Bring It On and the forgettable high school comedy Get Over It, Kirsten Dunst bounces back with a deeper project that fully showcases her ability. She?s very good. Hernandez (of the MTV series Undressed) holds his own as this tortured Juliet?s gallant Romeo. In fact, Crazy/Beautiful is a teen film of slightly above-average quality and intelligence.

This was a surprisingly good movie. It is directed by John Stockwell (Blue Crush) and stars Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez. The movie deals with some of the more common clichés that abound in teen movies. The difference is that Crazy/Beautiful handles these clichés a little bit better than most. This one takes the basic cliché of: a boy and a girl with very different backgrounds fall for each other. Director John Stockwell does a very good job with this basic story.

The movie opens with Carlos (Hernandez) waking up before 5 am so he can eat breakfast and run out to catch the bus for a two hour ride to school. This is a long trip just to go to school and it shows the dedication that Carlos has to his education. He is there because he wants the education and opportunity that the better school can provide him, even if the cost is a two hour bus ride at 5:30 in the morning. The movie shifts to Nicole (Dunst) waking up. It is bright out and we see the contrast between her life and that of Carlos. They have very different home environments. It is obvious that while Carlos's neighborhood is not very good, his mother tries to do the best she can. Nicole lives in a very nice house, but has a much worse home life. A friend picks her up and Nicole gets to school the same time as Carlos.

We see very quickly that Nicole is a problem kid. She skips classes, spends a lot of time drinking and talks about drugs. Carlos is a good student and excels on the football field. Carlos meets Nicole when she is doing community service as probation for a DUI. They meet again at school and there is an obvious attraction. They begin spending more and more time with each other. Carlos's focus to his education and his priorities begin slipping as Nicole seems to be dragging him down. However, Carlos and Nicole genuinely care for each other.

This is a story that has been told many times in many different ways, more often than not with a teen movie (it seems to work very well with youth). The story is about tolerance, acceptance, and how love can be the impetuous for someone to change. Surprisingly, this movie was a lot better than I expected and I was impressed by how the film did not preach nor talk down to the audience. It was not as simplistic as it could have been, and for a teen film, this is a very good one. As a movie, it is nothing special, but a whole lot better than it should have been. Crazy/Beautiful is worth a rent.

This psychological thriller brings two great actors together in an innovative way of telling a story. Although some might be turned off by the elements in the story or the way that it is told the quality of the acting alone is worth seeing and the movie will leave some viewers thinking. Hopkins puts in a believable and different performance that rises to his usual mark of excellence. When we first see him meet the gorilla group his submissive posture is right on the money and his gorilla blocking in the airport was very well done. It would have been very easy for him to fall into the Hannibal Lecter routine, and the prison setting unfortunately almost made me expect that character, but this prisoner carried a totally different set of emotional baggage. And if it's possible, Gooding's acting was just as good or maybe even a tad bit better; he certainly held his own in every scene. I bought the conflicts that his character was having, as well as his reactions to what was going on around him. Actually, everyone seemed quite comfortable in their own skin...even the characters that were doing the most outlandish things. What the moral of the story is or the basic theme is also left a mystery and the past experiences that a viewer brings with them will greatly influence what the perceived message is. Some might find it to be a movie about man's possible evolution from primates; another might find it to have an animal rights activist theme; while some might just view it as a "society is terrible" and "animals are wonderful" message. This isn't the kind of movie where you know who the bad guy is and are rooting for the good guy to win. In this movie everyone has a little bad and a little good mixed in and the environment that they find themselves in and how they perceive it determines what their actions are -- sort of reflective of how life really is. So, if you want to see a film where everything is defined and you can finish with a satisfied feeling that good triumphed over evil once more then you should skip this one because you're going to feel cheated. On the other hand, if you want to see some of the most extraordinary acting between two great actors and don't mind a little ambiguity then this will be your cup of tea. Strong and fascinating acting combined with an unusual story-telling method!

HE WANDER IN THE JUNGLE WITH ITS FRIENDS THE GORILLAS WHEN THEY ARE ALMOST ALL TOGETHER KILLEDS BY SMUGLLERS AND HE WANT TO AVENGE THEM HIS ANIMAL INSTINCT IS COME BACK FOR ALWAYS FOREVER !

NOW !!! And he want see again his PARADISE !!! A PERFECT MOVIE !!!

This is an intriguing film, not so much because of its improbable story line, but because of its intelligent and provocative interest in ideas that are hardly mainstream. Those of us involved with the environmental movement are often exasperated by the unknowing and unfeeling arrogant presumption of natural superiority many human leaders seem to have regarding use and disposition of the world's resources, both natural and otherwise. In this thoughtful film Sir Anthony Hopkins brings his prestige to bear on such heady issues, and forwards an undeniable argument regarding those presumptions.

The format of the movie is such that it is necessary to piece together this message, and this is the service that Cuba Gooding provides here as the bearer of logic and modern thought, presuming to examine Hopkins character for mental defect due to the extreme nature of Hopkins outside the mental hospital he is now ensconced in. Yet the evolving dialogue and plot as it slowly builds is really the uncovering of the ways in which such arrogance and presumptive claims for natural stewardship over the natural order are laid bare for what they are, groundless and silly.

Of course, the fact that such ideas are expressed in a movie made for popular consumption is rare enough, but to do so with a message that is clearly enunciated and not overlaid with the weight of its own dramatic detritus is very powerful indeed. The director is clearly warning us that our misuse and rape of the environment has terrible consequences, but unfortunately not just for us or for humankind, but rather for the whole ecological superstructure on which life on this planet depends. The idea that we are false "Gods' and false prophets is made chillingly clear by some of Hopkins monologues.

The plot is unusual but not all that plausible; it is unlikely anyone who found his way back to nature would return under any circumstances. Indeed, one of the more profound undercurrents of the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs series of Tarzan novels was the way in which he (Burroughs) constantly counter-posed the rather Victorian idea of the superiority and infallibility of Human progress and civilization on the one hand with the predictably calamitous results of that civilization on the other. Hopkins does much the same thing here, but with much more articulate and even profound use of language and story. This is a very interesting and worthwhile movie, and one I highly recommend. Enjoy!

It's a mystery why they ever made this movie.

this movie is a story of more then just hockey its a story of life in a small town where the people only have a few escapes. This movie tells the ups and downs of this small town of Mystery and how a game against the Rangers changes their world. If your into hockey you'll love this movie if you are not you'll still like it. Rachel Wilson (Burt Reynolds daughter in the movie) is HOT.

I loved this movie. It was one of my first Russell Crowe movies. I am not a sports fan but even if you are not you can enjoy this movie. The romance and humor that flows through it, is wonderful.

I saw the Annie play and I liked it and I also went and saw the theatrical release of the movie that was made in the early 1980s starring Aileen Quinn, Albert Finney, Carol Burnette, Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters and I really like that version and thought they were all great and I have that version on DVD so when I was in a store and I saw the DVD for the Disney remake I bought it and I like it too and and I think Alicia Morton, Victor Garber, Kathy Bates, Audra McDonald, Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth were all very good and I enjoyed watching the movie but like the first movie I'm disappointed that some songs from the play were left out and I think this movie could have been a little longer and they should have included the songs that were left out of the 1980's version and a part of me is still hoping that a movie version will be made that will include every song from the original play. Even a filmed version of the stage play would be nice. They often filmed Broadway plays for their archives and now have put out several plays on DVD and video for the general public so I hope that if they filmed the original Annie play starring Andrea McArdle that they will put it out on DVD.

I love the story, and thought that this version was awesome. The actors cast were perfect and the songs were great. I recommend this DVD with enthusiasm.

All I know is that I purchased it for my daughter when she was 2 1/2 and she LOVES it. She sings all the songs and still wants to see it several times weekly almost a year later!.

A simply terrible, limp, half-hearted, "joke-y" remake of The Three Musketeers that simply did not need to be remade. There is an excellent version by Richard Lester (with Raquel Welch, Oliver Reed etc.) which is not dated at all and has wonderful performances and equisite sets and costumes...it is also extremely funny.

So the only motivation here must have been the BUCKS...a remake with Brat Packer stars like Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen. The script is wretched and the jokes stale, TV-type and not very funny. Completely out of period and needless to say unfaithful in the extreme to the spirit of the book.

It isn't often you need to specifically mention BAD COSTUMES as ruining a film....either they are splendid (as in Lester's Three/Four Musketeers) or not worth mentioning at all. Here one simply has to mention how awful they are! They don't look the least bit authentic, and the female characters are clearly dressed in clothes from another century, and not the 17th either. Polyester positively gleams and many characters are in clothing that is obviously the wrong size. The only thing I could guess is that the producers were unwilling to make a full complement of period costumes for a movie with such a big cast, and raided some cheap-o wardrobe rental place for items. Even the female leads look cheaply dressed and tacky.

Anything good at all to say? Michael Wincott (Rochefort) and Rebecca DeMornary were clearly not warned that this was a frivolous silly project, so they actually ACT and turn in sincere performances that would have worked well in a REAL movie. This despite appalling costumes and hairdoes -- Wincott in glitter and DeMornay with a beehive hairdo that has to be see to be believed.

Everybody else clearly got that this was a big joke and made off with their paychecks. Tim Curry chews the scenery like a rapid dog and everybody else seems half asleep.

If you have the faintest self-respect and enjoyment of the The Three Musketeers, rent the 70s Lester version. Leave this one on the shelf.

Alexandre Dumas may or may have not liked the Disney version of his story, but your whole family should. This often remade classic is more comedic in this version. I personally liked it. But then I have liked most versions in their style. The 1973 version with Oliver Reed as Athos and this version with Keifer Sutherland as Athos stand out above the rest in my humble opinion. The 1973 version for the drama and this one for the comedy.

Tim Curry is marvelous as Cardinal Richelieu. He is so borderline outrageously lecherous you think he is going to burst out laughing like a madman or go into song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". He never plays the piety like Charlton Heston did in the 1973 version. He goes more for the deviousness of an outright power mad religious leader.

The entire cast is great. With Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Rebecca DeMornay how could it be anything but well acted. I would bet the entire cast had a great time filming this version. The dramatic parts with DeMornay as Lady DeWinter are quite touching and the comedic parts with Porthos the Pirate, played by Platt, are quite funny. I was impressed with Stephen Herek's direction.

Disney did a great job of transferring this movie to DVD. The DVD picture and sound quality is first class. The DVD includes a featurette, theatrical trailers, and Bios. Well worth adding to your collection of movies like "The Princess Bride", "Ever After", and "Robin Hood".

By far the best Mustketeer movie I've seen, and I've seen them all. None of the others compare. Loved the action, comedy and adventure. Have watched it over and over again. Great family move. A must see for everyone.

I absolutly LOVED the first Peter Pan story and was curious to see this as well. I never really though about how a sequel to J.M Barrie's classic Peter Pan, but this movie was decent nonetheless. Peter's voice is different, (young) Wendy's voice is different (I thought so!), Cap'n Hook's voice is different (a little bit), and yes, Mr. Smee and the Lost boys sound different, too!

Overall: Decent, 3 and a half stars. Hey wait a minute! Where's Tiger Lily? I thought she was cute!

My advice: If you really want a decent sequel created by Disney, buy The Rescuers Down Under Gold Collection DVD (it may very well ALWAYS be Disney's greatest sequel! It's also my favourite of the Disney animated features!!)

Peter Pan is back in another sequel from Disney, the question is why does Disney do this? Disney should start to work on more orginal movies instead of sequels all the time. But do we need any more sequels from Disney? In less, somebody can convice Disney to stop making sequels for a while, I guess we are stuck with them. As the movie opens, Wendy (Kath Soucie) now grown up is married, has 2 kids, and when her husband goes off to serve in a war, Wendy stays home with daughter Jane (Harriet Owen) and son Danny (Andrew McDonough) but London is also keeping the children safe, and so both Jane and Danny will have to take a train for safety. Danny believes Wendy's stories about Peter Pan, but his older sister Jane does not. The night before Danny and Jane has to leave home, Captain Hook (Corey Burton) shows up, and mistakes Jane for Wendy, and kidnaps her. In Neverland, she is rescured by Peter Pan (Blayne Weaver). But all she wants to do, is to go home.

...but it is actually very nice! I usually hate Disney sequels because they are cheesy and ruin the first film. We usually stay away from movies that say on the cover, "All new feature-length adventure", because that's a sure sign of a cheapo sequel. That's what I was expecting when we got this movie, but I was impressed with the computer animation, the soundtrack and with the way Disney tried hard to get actors that sounded very much like the ones in the first movie. The one thing I didn't like though was the lack of indians! They didn't even mention the word "indian". Sure, they showed the camp, but it was as empty as a ghost town. Oh well.
This is a good movie for the younger group, although the adults will probably enjoy it as well.
