Talkie Tuesday: Lady and the Tramp

 

"And they call it bella notte ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to tonight's blog post.

 

As you can see, I've moved away from Bollywood yet again (though you can always count on the fact I'll get back to it at some point, my list of movies that I still haven't watched is long, but distinguished haha). This time though, I've gone in the opposite direction and right into the golden era of animation.

 

Aka, the Walt Disney one.

 

Say what you want about the man - and opinions are certainly divided - but his company knew how to make movies back in the day.

 

They didn't even need to be all that complicated either, as we're about to witness.

 

All you really needed was a couple of protagonists, a very realistic situation, and boom you had a story.

 

Even if the main characters were dogs - or possibly BECAUSE of that.

 

We're heading back to the 1950s in Lady and the Tramp.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Cinderella

 

"A dream is a wish your heart makes."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to the review of a movie I swore, back in the day, I'd never do.

 

Times change, however.

 

Because I honestly can't remember if I've ever even seen this one before, though I think I must have. I mean, I've seen pretty much all the major OG titles Disney released back in the day, back when their movies were actually still GOOD (occasionally problematic, but certainly good in animated execution).

 

So I decided, what the heck, I might as well do it now, right?

 

Because, like I said, times change, and so do the people with them.

 

I certainly never expected to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did, because originally I said the princess was a waste, waiting and pining. Turns out she's a little bit more than that, but that's alright, that's what we're here for: to live and learn.

 

Without further ado: Cinderella.

 

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.
