You know what? Those were exactly my thoughts when I saw the film for the first time as a child (boring, slow, monotonous)! But when I grew older, I started to appreciate the film more. And now it`s one of my favorites, despite it`s flaws (seriously, Maleficent`s goons feels too cartoony and out of place. Fortunately they don`t have much screentime, but they are jarringly awful).Redadoodles wrote:I've read many times that it's boring and slow (I thought so myself when I was a child) but I think it's beyond beautiful, poetic and majestic and so many films that came afterwards have copied the film wether it's the design, art direction or plot elements.

That Magic Flute looks interesting if I could find a free version to watch.
Thank you very much! I watched it and it was awful. Lol They also stole the three fairies and their colors from Sleeping Beauty and stole Scuttle and how he listened for a heartbeat from The Little Mermaid!lord-of-sith wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxulyWLQ1UIDisney Duster wrote:That Magic Flute looks interesting if I could find a free version to watch.
The scene of Pamina and Tamino singing their love to each other makes me laugh each single time especially how she mentions him by name when he literally never introduced to her. It's clearly scenes like that one that inspired Enchanted.Disney Duster wrote:Thank you very much! I watched it and it was awful.

OK, fair enough. While they (fortunately) don`t have much screentime, they do appear when Philip gets captured and in the first part of the climax.Redadoodles wrote:I'm quite sure they were added later on in production because the tone of the film was deemed too cold and dark. They only have one big scene so I don't mind them. Besides, they have that awesome scene when they're dancing around the fire which reminds me of a similar moment in The Goddess of Spring.DisneyFan09 wrote: You know what?

The Magic Flute is a Disney film as it was produced specifically for ABC.Disney Duster wrote:That is a very horribley funny scene, but there is no way Disney looked at other films other than their own to make Enchanted. They were poking fun at Disney, not anything non-Disney.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_p ... roductionsAs of 2019, it is unclear where Ruby-Spears' post-1991 library is held; two exceptions are the Mega Man series, which is at least partially owned by DHX Media (now WildBrain), and Skysurfer Strike Force, which is owned by Invincible Entertainment Group, along with most of the Bohbot Entertainment library.
So I guess technically it might be Disney-owned now, but the creation of The Magic Flute had nothing to do w/ Disney.Greengrass Productions was incorporated in California on February 10, 1992.[1] On June 7, 1996 due to the merger with Disney, Capital Cities/ABC indicated that its ABC Productions division operations would be shut down while keeping its boutique production companies: Victor Television Productions, ABC/Kane Productions, DIC Entertainment and Greengrass Productions.[2][3] Greengrass was transferred into ABC Entertainment from ABC Productions.[4]
