Yeah, that was my reaction. I wonder if he's doing Pixar first, THEN the CGI Disney movies?DisneyBluLife wrote:Shouldn´t his next review be Chicken Little?
^ Agree.ProfessorRatigan wrote:^Agreed.
I think most kids don't like Beauty and the Beast until they're older. I didn't. I found it boring as a kid. (And the main draw for me was always the villain of the film. At the time, Gaston didn't impress me. So the rest of the film followed.) Now that I'm an adult, Beauty and the Beast is my second-favorite animation, second only to Hunchback.
I've heard a LOT of people say the same thing about Hunchback. "Oh, I hated it as a kid, but now that I'm an adult, I GET it." Or something similar. But I always loved that one it was the first film I ever saw in the cinema and it had me from the moment the Bells of Notre Dame began. (Then again, I was the kid that seemed to like the dark, weird films that made other kids cry... It's why Batman Returns remains a favorite of mine!)
As for Doug Walker... Yeah, some of his reviews are down-right insulting in the amount of wrong-headed information presented in them. But to me, what's worse are the fanboys who immediately take HIS views on films just because they're his. (Go read some of the comments on the original Disneycember videos and try not to punch your computer screen.) The biggest example of this, I find, is Hunchback. Hunchback has been maligned for years as one of Disney's 'worst' and 'flawed' films. Then Doug Walker comes along, talks about how "It's flawed, but I love it," and now THAT is the line pretty much anyone says about it. Or "If it weren't for those gargoyles, it'd be a great movie."
There are probably some kids who consider it boring. But I was seven years old when it was released and there were girls at my age and younger who really liked the movie. I, however, liked it when I became an adult.ProfessorRatigan wrote:^Agreed.

Considering that on IMDB, Cars has a 7.3 rating, ranking higher than, for example,Oh, great. Doug seems to be another "Cars" hater. Do we really need one of those? Don't we have enough of them?

Ichabod and Mr. Toad - 7.1
101 Dalmatians - 7.2
The Rescuers - 6.9
The Great Mouse Detective - 7.1
Pocahontas - 6.3
The Hunchback of Notre Dame - 6.7 (!)
Hercules - 7.0
Tarzan - 7.0
Lilo & Stitch - 7.0
The Princess and the Frog - 7.1
And is tied with Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, which also have a 7.3 rating, I'd have to say, no. We don't have enough people who hate that film. And Cars is one of the lowest rated Pixars on there.
Personally, I even prefer those to Cars.Disney's Divinity wrote:Maybe HOTR, Dinosaur, Chicken Little, and a few others should be lower than it, but not much else from Disney.
Very well. At least I think so. There are worse films than "Cars".Semaj wrote: No.

I was talking about movies in general, not only Pixar movies. And frankly, I consider "Cars" to better than several Pixar flicks. In fact, most Pixar flicks are highly overrated.Avaitor wrote: Very well. At least I think so. There are worse films than "Cars".
