Talkie Tuesday: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Willy Fog

 

"Here starts our incredible story, with strange news from the high seas ..." 

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome to the finale of our Willy Fog stories.

 

As we begin the next chapter of House of the Dragon (which, I still have to watch the season 3 premiere, and I already know I'll be crying my eyes out) it's a good thing that we aren't knee-deep in too many other adaptations.

 

Dragons, by and large, require your attention no matter what!

 

But I digress.

 

Tonight, after going around the world and then to the center of the Earth, we're finally going under the sea, and Willy the gentle-lion gets to live out his fashion dreams of dressing like a captain.

 

So without further ado, let's hop right into it, shall we?

 

Because there's only so much time left, and we do in fact need to go 20 000 Leagues under the Sea with Willy Fog!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Journey to the Center of the Earth with Willy Fog

 

"It will be my pleasure to help write 

a new chapter in the history of science." 

 

Hello everyone!

 

Back to Jules Verne adaptations we go!

 

Because there's two more after Around the World with Willy Fog, and of course, if you know me, then you'll know I WILL be watching both of them.

 

How could I not?

 

This is basically my childhood caught in a bottle, or a snow globe, and I'm here for it.

 

I'm loving it, as McDonald's would say, haha!

 

Plus it's also just ridiculously entertaining and fun if you ask me. Who else would come up with stories like this one than the old animators in the 1990s who apparently all had the same way of thinking??

 

So without further ado, it's time to head on another little trip, just not around the world this time.

 

This time, Willy Fog will go on a Journey to the Center of the Earth!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Around the World with Willy Fog

 

"We'll set a new world record!"

 

Hello everyone!

 

Ready to go on an adventure tonight?

 

Because we're about to travel around the world.

 

And no, we aren't going to take forever doing it, nor are we going to jet around in, like, 24 hours or something, the way some influencers online tend to do it.

 

We're going to be doing it in 80 solid days.

 

You probably already know where this might be going, but it's not ACTUALLY a Jules Verne thing, even though he's the one who originally wrote the book.

 

No no, this is an adaptation, and a really fun one to boot, because - and get this - it's animated with animals acting as characters, and an entire 600+ minutes series is condensed to roughly over 70 minutes, making it immediately watchable in one sitting.

 

So without further ado: Around the World with Willy Fog!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Robin Hood

 

"Oo-de-lally!"

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

And I really, truly hope you enjoy the choice I made.

 

I mean, what's there not to like, though?

 

At some point, we all go nostalgic over what used to be, and this is DEFINITELY one of those that used to be.

 

Plus it's just really, really good. I think someone once said somewhere that Robin Hood is one of those stories with too many iterations to count, but the best one is still the one in which Prince John is a lion and his side-kick is a snake.

 

So I'm looking into this one tonight,

 

Grab your hats and your bows, and let's get on with Disney's Robin Hood!

 

Talkie Tuesday: Bambi

 

"Love is a song that never ends."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I have no idea what prompted me to pull this particular movie up over the course of the weekend and re-watch it, because I hadn't touched it in literal decades, for a very simple reason.

 

It's got a DISTRESSING part within it that we can probably all agree made us sob.

 

But either way, this Sunday was when I curled up in bed and pulled up Disney Plus, just because.

 

In every other way, this movie is a reminder of how good the old, classic Disney animation used to be, without all this "progressive" nonsense stuffed in.

 

10/10, actually, when they make a CGI adaptation of this - and apparently they're working on it - there's going to be at least one of the three amigos who doesn't actually pair up with his mate because 'we're born for more than procreation' or some ridiculous thing like that.

 

I'm paraphrasing but, you get the idea.

 

Without further ado, let's look at Bambi.
