Blog post #13: 9 Old Men

This is the last post for the year and to top everything off, I decided to end with yet another Disney Classic that we should all be able to easily recognize:  Peter Pan.

Animation Special

So this project me and Joe Gayk did this project together in Flash animation. Enjoy this little clip.

Blog Specimen

For my first blog specimen choices, I’ve chosen the following two:

Blog Post #5 and Blog Post #2

Special Blog Post

For this post, I felt like watching NOT a Disney movie. This is a truly special post, huh?  For this special post, I chose “An American Tail”. Mostly because I haven’t seen it in years and it was sitting on my desk for months. Sometimes, movies aren’t special for their animation but for their storyline.

Blog post #6 Second Time Around

Sequels are generally bad ideas. Not even Disney, the kings of brilliant ideas and great movies, can pull off a good sequel. With the upcoming release of movies like Toy Story 3 and a remake of Alice in Wonderland, I felt the need to re-affirm why my enthusiasm about these movies is missing. So the best choice film to critique: Disney’s first feature length animated sequel, Return of Jafar.

Blog post #5 Dog Eat… Spaghetti!

Dogs can just turn a person’s day around? When they come up to you and wag their tail, showing just how excited they are to see their best friend. No matter what happened that day, your dog is willing to put all his energy into making you laugh and play with them.It’s no wonder a movie about dogs can do the same thing.

Blog post #4 Colors of a Grammy

So, I have made the executive decision to make this blog almost consistently to comment on Disney animations. Be it full-length movies or just little shorts they have released. I’m a child of the Disney golden-age and they all have a place in my heart. Well, with that now established, onto the real “good stuff”!

Blog Post #3: Long live the princess

In 1959, Disney released their sixteenth animated film, Sleeping Beauty. This one, like many others, was based on a fairy tale that was rewritten to fit with a younger audience. The story wasn’t all that impressive. No, what was different about this film from the fifteen others, was the art. The art made this movie stand out amongst the rest.

Blog Post #2: For Your Viewing Needs

Made in 2007, Disney created this short about the home theater scene that was becoming a staple in every living room across America.

Blog Post #1 : Of Cabbages and Kings

When Alice in Wonderland first came out, it was a burn out at the box office. In class, this was said and my jaw nearly hit the ground. Despite the confusion, I’ll admit it is always going to be on my list of top twenty Disney films. So, for my first post I was adamant it had to be related to this film.
