Frozen

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Morgan R. Lewis

I’m a fan of Disney, but I wouldn’t say that they knock it out of the park every single time. Brother Bear comes to mind as a fairly mediocre offering, and there are several others in the late 90s/early 2000s … Continue reading →

The Reluctant Dragon

Posted on December 29, 2014 by Morgan R. Lewis

Mulan & Mulan II

Posted on January 15, 2014 by Morgan R. Lewis

It’s easy enough to track when I started growing up by watching the drop-off in Disney movies that I’ve seen. Like most American kids who grew up in the 1980s, Disney’s animated features were common video rentals in my family. … Continue reading →

A Christmas Carol (2009)

Posted on December 16, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

Every few years, there’s another adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and sometimes it’s by a company that has done one before. Another animated version from Disney was put out in 2009, this time using Jim Carrey instead of … Continue reading →

Re-Ranking the Oscars: 2008 Best Animated Feature

Posted on September 8, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

For my second outing at ranking the Oscars, we’re sticking with Best Animated Feature still (as Best Picture is sometimes hard to track down…) but we’re jumping ahead a few years to 2008. Like 2003, there were only three films … Continue reading →

The Rescuers

Posted on August 13, 2013 by Morgan R. Lewis

The Rescuers is another of those films lost to the fog of my childhood memory. It was originally released in 1977, and then was re-released in 1983 and 1989 (this being back when Disney regularly re-released films to theatres, and … Continue reading →
