The original Lion King's "remember who you are" line brought me to tears it was so powerful to me. This version sounds like a principal calming reminding a student not to talk to him like that.
If the second-- Yes, I said second, damn it.-- remake of Mulan's cartoon movie is "the worst live-action remake" that Nostalgia Critic has ever seen *so far*, then . . . I DO NOT-- I repeat, I DO NOT-- want the live-action remake of Bambi's title movie to be THE worst. Because what they did with the live-action remakes of 1955's Lady and the Tramp, 1994's The Lion King, 1998's Mulan. . . If they do *that* same thing with the live-action remake of Bambi's movie from 1942, then . . . I'll be SO disappointed. No, scratch that. I'll be PISSED! The one thing that happened with both the live-action remakes of Lady and the Tramp and The Lion King. . . is that, while the original versions focused on the realism of both the character AND the animal, they're focusing more on just the realism of the animal in the remakes instead.
That’s Disney for you, waving a progressive flag in these remakes as justification for their existence. Doesn’t matter if it turns deep characters into paper-thin cutouts, toss a bone to the ladies and never follow through with it! Good stuff.
The thing that really gets me is the high note in that song is slightly off key 😭 Like in general that actress isnt bad and i dont wanna be mean but that note during "i wont be sileeeenced" hits my ear like a ton of bricks
So, let me get this straight? Linda Wolverton, the screenwriter for the original animated Beauty and the Beast, wrote the screenplays for Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Maleficent (2014), but Disney didn’t think to hire her to write the screenplay for the 2017 Beauty and the Beast? 🤨
Touched on this from another review, but... To kill Aurora flat-out on her 16th birthday is quite cruel, but making her eternally comatose is arguably much worse. Her soul is trapped forever in her shell of a body, and she is unable to die. Even after every person who ever loved her is dead and gone, she cannot die, so her soul can never move on. She is now imprisoned on earth for all eternity, trapped between life and death. *Forever.*
But is she experiencing anything? If she's not experiencing anything while comatose, it doesn't really matter if she's trapped and everyone she knows dies.
@@Xvladin I think it depends on the source material. If we go with the OUAT sources, it's basically pure hell for eternity, with no hope of escape. And I mean literal hell. *Fire and all.*
Mufasa: "Everything the light touches is our kingdom." Simba: "What about that shadowy place?" Mufasa: "That's the live action remake. You must never go there, son."
What really grinds my gears in the Beauty and the Beast remake is the Beast *showing* Belle his library instead of *giving* it to her. In the original... Beast: I want to do something for Belle because she's shown kindness to me while bandaging my arm from the wolves. Books are something that Belle is very interested in, so I will present my library as a gift to her. In the remake... Beast: lol I'm gonna do the biggest flex imaginable and show this lady my library because she's reciting a quote from a book I don't like
You know, after rewatching here the live action Beauty and the Beast, I realized that the Broadway show did a much better explanation for the servants of why they couldn’t tell Belle about their transformations than this garbage remake. In the show, the servants were changing, but they kept it hidden from Belle cause they knew that she needed to fall in love with the Beast and not to worry about their fate. Funny how the show that has been going on for many decades figured this plot thread out while these film makers said, “Eh, whatever.”
Fr! It's like theatre analyses and understands the story they're telling better than Hollywood does. Even the added scene explaining why the servants were cursed was better in the Broadway play, the prince's attempts to be a decent person had more effort, Belle and the Beast's bonding moments were deeper! All the remake did was create even more plot holes based on internet nitpicking coming from ill-faithed nay-sayers who don't even know what manner of time period the story takes place in: it *was* common for people AND women to read at that time, people were just weirded out by the fact Belle preferred to spend her time reading instead of """living a normal life""", Gaston's opinion on women reading just had a big fat personal agenda behind it. The movie never stated the prince was cursed as a child, he's portrayed as an adult in the stained glass prologue. Stockholm Syndrome is considered a pop culture mental illness by psychologists (like Hanahaki), and even if it was an actual mental disorder anybody who actually read about it instead of parroting others would realize nothing in the movie matches the symptoms! Hell, I doubt they even remembered the details of the original movie when they watched the remake. tl;dr - The remake tried to be "woke" based on internet opinion coming from people who don't even know the first thing about watching movies: understand the setting and pay attention to details.
@@IMayOrMayHaveNot That’s because the Broadway musical had the advantage of having the screenwriter of the original film write the musical’s book. Someone who is already familiar with her work and can find ways to improve upon the original screenplay she wrote like expanding on characters and explain some things she didn’t explain the first time and allowing time for the main couples’ chemistry to be expanded and given more depth. The remake had the disadvantage of not having the original screenwriter and hiring a different writer that’s more unfamiliar with the characters and with no work on the original screenplay, so he doesn’t know how to improve upon the original and make it different enough to be its own version from the original and the Broadway musical.
So, the gift from one of the fairies in Maleficent was that Aurora could never feel sadness or anything other than happiness for the rest of her life...and yet there are several scenes where she's upset, particularly when she fights with the fairies about her parents, there are even scenes of her as a baby and an adult CRYING! How did they forget this detail so quickly? Also, did that fairy not think about what kind of hell it would be to feel nothing but one emotion?? Christ! That's a worse curse than Maleficent's!
I think the fairies’ gifts for Aurora (sans Merryweather since Maleficent interrupted her before she could give her original gift and had to change it to counter Maleficent’s curse) were skills and not things that would control her emotion.
Yup, mind magi. Supposed to be taboo for the very reason that it would fuck people up mentally so easily. Just there. Made by the blue fairy to "Never Be Blue".
not really ironic. It would be more so if they didnt know that and randomly chose him to play it. They knew it so they did this. So it's not ironic. Its planned
@@agonleed3841 just a hunch but I think people misuse the word 'ironic' to look smarter. It makes an observation seem more deep than it actually is and coincidentally 'coincidentally' isn't satisfying enough to use ironically.
I think the reason they did it is to make the opposite of what the movie was, making "The white Rabbit" a black one, which is kinda racist, but still clever and funny.
The greatest and saddest irony about Will Smith's awful singing in the Aladdin remake is how Will Smith became a household name by being really good at singing, which is what literally launched his career. Granted, the songs of Aladdin aren't nearly the same style of music he started off with, but therein lies the tragedy - he was forced to sing the songs in a style he's not familiar with instead of being given the freedom to make his own unique take and do his own covers of the songs. Actually, thinking about it now and putting it to words like this makes me realize that there's a whole hidden layer of irony to the songs Smith sings - just like the Genie character, Will Smith was bound by tradition and rules - his greatest strengths, talents and abilities were held back by figurative chains and seemingly arbitrary rules. If they'd given Will the same creative freedom that Robin Williams had been given, then we could have had a truly unique and inspired take on the character and his musical numbers, and that's the universe I want to live in.
"Will Smith became a household name by being really good at singing" lol no. Have you ever heard the song "getting jiggy with it"? Will Smith made souless bland corporate rap for white audiences in the early 90s that would have called the cops on Biggie or Tupac if they saw them loitering near their suburban neighbourhood. But hey if corporate rap is your thing then good for you. I just think you are a moron and part of the lowest common dominator.
No it was Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The creator told Will that he needed to find a good name for his character. Cause after this show it would be cemented to him. And he was right. Nobody thought of Will Smith they only saw the Fresh Prince. Same with Robin Williams when he did a show as an alien and everyone would tell him Nanu Nanu as he did in the show. No matter what movie he did, even his biggest hits only lasted a week then it was back to Nanu Nanu.
I was thinking the same like "wait he sucks at singing, he put out an album years ago that wasn't horrible". I never saw the film, but from this review, I could clearly see "he's trying to be Robin Williams", which, he can't. Not an insult to him, it's a hard roll to mimic (his voice skills alone were exception)
After watching this back to back, I realize that from all the female leads only Jasmine showed some kind of emotions. All the others seemed to act like ethereal bargain bin Galadriels, too perfect to lose composure. It was just uncanney valley levels of uncomfortable.
@@cultureandhistorynerd6739 it also could be partially the fault of the director, i wouldnt discount that. Just looking at the Star Wars prequels, you can see how much a director can kneecap a good actor
Also you could argue that Cinderella is strong to go through all the abuse and honestly I hate when people say she waits around because she works soo hard probably the hardest of any Disney character and she didn't want to go to ball the see the Prince it was mostly to finally have a decent night. And it gave me soo much joy to see her get a happy ending at the end. I do hope that the Prince had more development especially seeing him in the sequels and actually being a very good character
Well don't forget Tiana worked her butt off before she even became a princess, but I agree, og Cindy worked through a TON of emotional and mental abuse her entire life, and had to clean that ENTIRE HOUSE since she was a kid
Cinderella on the cartoon had more and showed more emotions and facial expression then the new, The ever after one hands down is better then the new and old.
I want to see a live action movie where Michael Bay directs "Bambi's Revenge." Bambi, Thumper and Flower, are all para military mercenaries who go after the guys who shot his mom.
I hate that that's very well what they might do They're always trying to avoid accusations of laziness by making a handful of pointless changes usually to do with overdone societal issues that they do nothing interesting with. They absolutely have it in them to rip off their own previous films that tackle the Revenge Doesn't Help storyline, bc if those films were well made, beloved classics, then a combination of that and the well made beloved classic Bambi is sure to be twice as good right?!
1:11:45 Frollo playing with Quasi actually understands the character more than the original movie.Even though we know Frollo as one of the most evil Disney villains,he wasn't actually that bad in the original novel.
He wasn't a judge there but the arch bishop so a little better. Plus they intentionally made him as bad as possible due to a trend of people liking the villains. Which of course doesn't sit quite right with Disney and good messages when the bad moral bad guy gets popular.
I wouldn't say he wasn't actually that bad, just better nuanced. Notre Dame of Paris is a morally grey story, which is the exact opposite of what Disney plays at when it comes to defining their characters' morality.
@@IMayOrMayHaveNot He was actually a really good person until he saw Esmeralda.And even after that,worst thing he did was stabbing Phoebus who was about to ruin Esmeralda's life.And he tried to be nice to Esmeralda until the very end where he goes mad and can't even think normally.
My favorite Cinderella movie is the Rogers and Hammerstein's. With Whitney Houston, Whoopie Goldberg and Brandy. I watched it when I was little and rewatched it and it still holds a special place in my heart.
I went looking for the old Pete's dragon review. Are they both just weak movies? Its weird how the same concept for toothless and charizard (pet dragon) is done so poorly with such a lack of fantasy feeling?
@@lauracoles5595 absolutely agree, but its weird that Disney the masters of whimsy fantasy stories have the weakest pet dragon story. I think httyd is amazing, but who expected it from DreamWorks at the time? Petes dragon isn't just a little less, but soo much less.
Is it just me or has anyone else come back and fallen in love with Nostalgia critics stuff after a long hiatus due to all the drama? I've been doing marathons of NC the last couple of days.
No one's really in love with N.C anymore after all the unfunny content, channel controversy and whatever the hell The Wall - N.C was supposed to be. Now we just watch because we're all change intolerant.
2:57:00 YES. ALADDIN WAS AN ENORMOUS MISSED OPPORTUNITY. AFTER WATCHING Padmaavat I imagined a Bollywood spectacle with glorious regal sprawling symmetrical shots. And instead what we got...
What about a review of arguably the first live-action remake: 101 Dalmations? Or an Old VS New? I love both versions. The animation is classic and charming, while you can't help but love the animal actors.
The Alice in Wonderland review is such a classic, one of the first reviews I got to see from you all, even before I could properly speak English. Thanks a lot for making this compilation^^
I’ve called what Disney does with these live action remakes basically “adaptation inbreeding” considering all they’re doing is taking hard work someone has already previously done in making an adaptation at Disney and rip it off giving us the same story again, I mean the original vision for Beauty and the Beast was nothing like how the animated version ended up being, pretty sure they had to come up with the characters of the enchanted objects for the animated adaptation and the live action remake doesn’t even have to do the hard work of making a unique different adaptation considering all they have to do is rip off someone who previously worked at Disney’s hard work!
I honestly love the little skits they make on the side of the reviews for comedic relief, the costumes they make are just awesome! I can’t tell if they make all of them or buy some cause they are sweet!
Honestly it's a case of whatevers cheaper. If their prop department (Jim mostly) can fabricate something that doesn't already exist, or make something for quicker and cheaper than buying, they will. They also reuse as many costume parts as they can, Bill is a bunch of random shit thrown together, the adequately impressive three are deliberately simple. Iirc They're on a week by week filming schedule, sometimes the prop department can have more of a heads up for pre production and a look at the script if it's finished, but they knock these out within a fortnight, being about a week ahead of release for post production tweaks.
"We're cats. We own everything." "Got it." Legit what my 11-year-old cat taught my 6-month kitten. Now they both prance around like they own the place.
Lol true. I feel like such a nerd for sitting down to just watch this like an average 10 minute YT vid. Don't regret it though. Time well spent, I say.
Indeed. I could say the same for Pitch Meetings and CinemaSins compilations, especially when some of the included videos are significantly older than others and the comp becomes an unintentional showcase of how far the channel and content has evolved and improved over the years.
Just occurred to me that having Emma Thompson sing your big number when Audra McDonald is in your movie reminds me of that time *cough* Enchanted *cough* when Disney had Idina Menzel in their musical movie for the first time and never let her sing...
Don't forget about having Will Smith who is a rapper do a rap version of "Friend Like Me", then don't feature it in the movie. They play it over the credits, just to tease you with what could have been.
I think Amy Adams did a great job in Enchanted, but i agree. Having Idina Menzel in your movie and NEVER letting her sing is such a crime, she has the most beautiful voice and range!!
The live-action 'Alice in Wonderland' review has got to be my favorite NC episode, not because it's the funniest (although it *is* really damn funny), but because never have I stood up and shouted, "YES!" more times during a review than I did while watching it. Every problem Doug points out with the movie are the very same problems *I* had with it. I honestly wanted SO much to love this film, and Tim Burton making an adaptation of one of my favorite stories of all time, bringing his unique, eccentric directing style to a surreal, nonsensical place like Wonderland? It seemed like a match made in heaven, and I was hype as hell when I finally went to see it. But as the hype eventually wore off as the weeks went by, and after I'd watched the movie a few more times, I started to realize just how dull and uninspired it really was... how "not-Alicey" it was. I guess give it some points for not being just a straight up remake of the original 'Alice,' but honestly... that's kind of what I was hoping for. All the other Disney remakes tend to feel like pale copies of the originals because they more-or-less tend to tell the exact same stories, but with 'Alice' the story doesn't really matter, as it's more about the *experience.* There really is no plot to speak of in the original, so you could easily just do a scene-for-scene remake and focus entirely on going full-on crazy and creative with the visuals. Besides, people will give the Burton film points for at least doing something "different," but does it really? It's a passable to mediocre fantasy film at best, with the same tired "not-like-other-girls" female lead who must "find/believe in herself" by fighting an evil queen in some fantasy world because she's the "chosen one" and oh my god I've seen this all before in *much* better movies like The Chronicles of Narnia. 'Alice' was never meant to be some kind of huge, epic story, with wars and battles and stakes, so to try and force it into that mold just ends up making it feel like the most basic, lazy, cliché rebels vs tyrannical ruler fantasy story that's been told a thousand times before. That's not even getting into my *other* problems with the Burton movie, such as the wooden acting, the boring characterization, the "meh" worldbuilding, the one-note characters who in some cases are reduced to little more than cameos *coughmarchharecough,* and some of the stupid "wtf were they thinking?" decisions the film makes, such as having Alice dream of Wonderland every night for the past decade, so when she finally gets there for real she looks bored af the entire time. Oh no, wouldn't want Alice to react with, oh I dunno... wonder? No, much more fun for the audience if Alice has already been there, done that and doesn't have to struggle to remember the long ago dream from her childhood, or learn anything new about this wild place she's ended up in. The dream angle adds *nothing,* and only serves to make the main character feel less invested, so just... WHY? Ugh, I really do not like this movie. Edit: The score is pretty great, though; one of the few things I genuinely liked about it.
I knew of your existence for some time at least 3 years but I never got around to see one of your movie reviews. The only regret I have is why I didn't see your videos earlier. You are informative and hilarious. Keep it going and thank you for all your work
Ikr. I’ve read the original Alice books many, many times and when I first watched his review when it was uploaded, I knew he was missing something when he expressed his opinion of how dumb it was for Time to curse the Mad Hatter and his friends to be trapped in a time-stand.
It was, but in the context of the movies, it still seems to come out of nowhere. Again, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if the movies were as loony as the books, but since the movies are trying so hard to give logic to what should be a logic-less world, the scene feels tacked on, like an unnecessary “oh by the way, this is why the Hatter was having tea in the middle of the woods”.
You see, that is a perfect example of good idea, bad execution. It's not so much the idea of Time cursing them to be stuck at tea-time that is dumb per se, it's how the movie delivered it that made it look dumb.
@@abrahamlupis9354 ya that’s the unfortunate part the world’s a big place and there’s not enough willing to stop seeing them or at the very least pirate watch them
@@dylansharp8471 it’s not about liking them if they do I’m not gonna hold that against them but what I am against is seeing people actively giving money to Disney for films they clearly only had to push a copy and paste button to make As I said if you like them that’s fine but just know by giving Disney your money for any of these remakes specifically it encourages them that’s honestly all they need to make
The Mouse: Well because I ruined copyright law for short term profit gains I've written myself into a corner. Oh well these things make tons of bank ah huck. Why bother to make something original or fix the problem I helped make?
@@GuardianGrarl If you’re trying to apply for a writing position, maybe don’t quit your day-job just yet; even the content that isn’t quite up to par is still better than this “observation”.
In one defence of the 1st Burton Alice movie in the original Lewis Carol book she DID confuse Underland with Wonderland. The real name of the place IS Underland.
I personally believe even Michael Bay could make a better Disney live-action reboot at least it will be entertaining well assuming he get the characters right
Disney Fun fact: Disney's 1st original character was a Rabbit named "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit", created in 1927. However, 1 year later, Universal Studios claimed the rights to the cartoon. After losing the character, Disney created Mickey Mouse.
His first fully original heroic character, since before he had Alice (a live action girl based on Alice from Alice in wonderland) Lucifer (a Felix the cat ripoff) and Pete (no introduction required )
for nostalgia-ween would you please consider reviewing “sweeney todd: demon barber of fleet street” and possibly “repo: the genetic opera”? keep in mind these are two very bizarre musicals but the concepts and themes are fascinating to me. they can definitely be cringe and odd but i still enjoy them. does that make me a weirdo? quite possibly yes lol. but i hope you’ll give them a shot and let me know what you think of them. if anything i’d just really like to see your face during a “first viewing”when you see the disturbing nonsense that goes on 😂😂😂
@@ryanelliott1907 oddly enough me and my sister loved watching sweeny todd when we were younger. we sing the songs for hours lol. we still sing the songs lol. and repo: the genetic opera i came across by accident lol. i saw an animatic one youtube and enjoyed the twisted song but never knew where the song came from. then when i saw the movie i loved it more because i found where the song came from lol. i loved these movies since middle school which makes me feel like a sick person for being so fascinated with them at such a young age 😂😂😂
After seeing the Mask episode and Dough admitting how much he liked that movie and imitate Jim Carrey, this compilation is full of Dough's Jim Carrey moves and manerisms. Just to show you one, at 2:15:28 the speaking fast to his lungs empties and then inhale lots to keep speaking fast until the lungs empties again, is like Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura doing the same thing
Jungle book movie remind me of other movies where someone kept an “exotic” animal, tries sending it off but ends up coming back. Basically this movie was in reverse of that.
Watching "Through the Looking Glass" review... Are we supposed to be sad for the Hatters or feel like the Queen was justified in swearing revenge on them because they are completely shit at their career? You had one job! And this wasn't some backburner job you rushed because you had something more important to do, it was a royal coronation! Then the Mad Hatter laughed at them screwing up an incredibly important royal contract directly in front of their humiliated client, endangering their entire livelihood. Murder is going overboard, but even in the real world this kind of thing can lead to being blacklisted and never allowed to make hats for anyone ever again. Why are you never good enough for your dad? Probably because you're a fuck-up. This scene does the opposite of making me want Alice to cheer him up. Sure, the mean gals in the audience are at fault too, but the protagonist isn't endangering the entire universe to cheer them up.
1:31:09 I just found an inconsistency in Alice in under land: Isn’t the dormouse supposed to be stuck at the tea party with the Marge hare and the mad hatter? So why was she with the greeting party screaming at Alice that she was the wrong Alice in the first movie?
My guess is that the first time Alice went to Sunderland as a kid is what counted. Explains why Mad Hatter was at a party with that dragon in between the two times Alice came the first and second time.
4:30 Doug’s stare here is s deadpan it’s funny and has meaning, it’s the look of a man who’s disappointed in a man he’s admired and inspired by for years.
I loved the Disney fairytales too as a younger girl and even enjoyed the live remake of my favourite story, Beauty & The Beast... However, what I always find interesting in this new era of people complaining that Disney is 'stealing' everything (buying up Marvel, Star Wars etc), is that no one acknowledges the company became a household name by ripping off the literature of the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen etc. It is a pet hate of mine to hear people call 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Snow White' DISNEY characters, as if they invented them... Disney has always 'borrowed' others ideas wholesale. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was copied from Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse was then copied off Oswald. They even plagiarize themselves. Just once I'd like someone reviewing a Disney film to point that out.
Granted those old stories can still be used by other companies. But Marvel or Starwars stories will now strictly have the Disney formula until they release those properties.
Don't most people already know Disney didn't create those fairy tales already though? Stories like Snow White and Cinderella were adapted a million times, they aren't owned by Disney, the Disney ones are just the more recognized and famous ones. Something merely being based around a literary work doesn't make it a "rip-off", it makes it an adaptation, which a lot of other movies and franchises are. They still add their own design to it, to the characters, the visuals, their own music, those little things that make it stand out as its own thing and make it distinct from the original source material. That's the difference.
Good sir you have been a window looking back at simpler times. When we only had to worry about Disney reselling our childhood to us but masking it’s also now got some adult style mixed in. I’ve been watching since back in the day when you where a website. That guy with the glasses. Keep it going :)
BOY, Instead of Hollywood pointlessly “remaking” all these Disney Classics (ie. fixing what isn't broken) , what about dedicating the time, money, energy, & effort to make the rest of the NARNIA books into movies? Or the ERAGON series into proper movies? 😮❓📚
The lead animator for the Magic Carpet based the carpet's emotions on how the animator would feel like when the carpet points at himself he goes "Me?" and when he jumps and gets excited that he gets join Aladdin he is silently saying "Hooray!" and joins him. Also every time Kenzari talked as Jafar, I basically imagined Jonathan Freeman (the original voice of Jafar) was in the remake and not Kenzari though no hate towards Kenzari for his role as Jafar as clearly he really tried to be something different than what Jonathan had done in 1992.
By the way Doug, did you see the live action remake of Dumbo? I liked how it did something different, but my step mom, who's favorite Disney movie was Dumbo, didn't like it at all since they strayed from the original story. So I'm definitely interested in your opinion. Maybe a new vs. old like you did with Cinderella
Anybody else notice that on the Alladin remake after the king was hypnotized he says inexperience is dangerous it isn't lip synced or the same guy he sounds like a broken trumpet
That Bad Screenwriter 101 tip is a really good one (at 7:00), I have a habit of hunting down good narrative advice & I never heard that one. Mind you I always hated learning from screenwriters, I found they spend more time talking about how awesome their jobs are & little about doing their jobs.
In the original Beauty and the Beast, the prince was literally 11 when the old woman knocked. As he would be stuck that was after 10 years, on his 21st birthday.
I think that's just a plot hole, seeing as how we see the prince in the opening stained glass and the sequels as someone in his late teens. And I *think*, I haven't gone back to check, that they fixed that in the remake's lyrics.
Imma admit, there’s no way in the name of all that was holy I’d have watched any of these uploads on their own because I frankly didn’t give the reboots a shot to begin with, but now that you collected them (and I had trouble falling asleep tonight)… This was funnier than any of reboots could ever possibly be. 3:30 in the bloody morning, and I’m sure I woke up my neighborhood laughing at Johnson Justice!! …I mean, you know you’re packing heat when the, err, Assassin is intimidated.
I know suppose to represent the Alice's Maddess Returns game but since I haven't played the game and I haven't watch the YouTibe video for it yet, it reminds me of the Zombieland book series which is wonderful
I can honestly see where the inspiration for the war plot comes from in Alice in wonderland (2010). The white and red roses represented the war of the roses which were red and white.
Seeing the Lion King and Aladdin review has me tempted to watch the movies, but even more tempted to play my Switch double bill of the SNES & Genesis games in HD.
In the Lion King (3:16:27) why didn’t Mufasa just stay on that tree/branch and wait for the stampede to pass by? He seemed to be OK for the 10-20 seconds he was there.
I’ll be honest when I heard they were going to remake the lion king I yelled NO DON’T DO IT ITS NOT NEEDED THE ORIGINAL WAS ALREADY PERFECT and ya know what I still stand by that
I was so happy when he said that Ever After was the better Cinderella movie. Danielle was more relatable than the other 2 and I always saw Ever After as the best one out of the 3. I like the female lead has a name and Cinderella is a negative insult cuz it adds to the abuse Danielle has lived through. I also like that there was no magic cuz magic always felt like a cheep cover up and with Ever After, you see more of a relationship between the supporting roles. With magic, poof here’s a new dress, while the other shows how much works was done and her outfit gave her the courage to tell the prince the truth. I also liked that one of the step-siblings wasn’t all bad cuz movies tend to make them all the villains when step-families aren’t always that evil. Ever After is the best cuz it was beautifully in a realistic way.
This compilation really shows a common thread of the leading ladies not really showing much emotion in their performances in Alice, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast
