R-E-S-C-U-E, Rescue Aid Society

Hands held high/Touch the sky./ You mean everything to me. My experience with The Rescuers (1977) happened a little backwards. I grew up with the audiotape (you know, the ones where they use clips from the film and narrate the story), but I was older before I actually saw the movie. So when I watch…

Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Winnie the Pooh has been a family favorite as far back as I can remember–from my Winnie the Pooh books and my brother’s toys to calling my sister Eeyore when she was in a particularly pessimistic mood. We also grew up watching the various spinoff shows that aired in the late 80s and 90s (to…

They call him MR. Mouse.

For Christmas, a friend of mine scored a copy of the new Wii game Epic Mickey. If you haven’t heard of this game, it’s an attempt to turn Disney’s signature character into a bad-ass of the umpteenth degree while reacquainting folks with some former Disney animation stars like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. And though it…

Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally, Golly, What a Day!

  I had to take Robin Hood (1973) on our Disney list. I grew up with an older brother (more or less) who absolutely loves this one. He spends a lot of times whistling “Oo-De-Lally.”  My sister rewatched this with me, per a tradition of ours: watching animated films when we’re together (some have a…

Because I’m a Lady-That’s Why

The Aristocats marks the beginning of the transitional period between the Walt era and the Renaissance that took the studio by storm in the late 80s and 90s, and as such is full of lasts and firsts.  Most notably, this was the last story that Walt approved and the first film to be completed after…

Look for the bare necessities.

The Disney track record for adapting classic works of literature continued with the release of The Jungle Book in 1967. Based on the tales of British writer Rudyard Kipling, the movie is perhaps most notable as the last film to be produced by Walt Disney, as he passed away before it was completed. The film tells…

If Men Were Meant to Fly, They’d Have Been Born With Wings

The Sword in the Stone’s Archimedes the Owl is awesome and underrated. He’s absolutely hilarious: dry, ironic, grumpy, and sarcastic. Everything we need in a sidekick for a bumbling wizard.   The Sword in the Stone (1963) is Disney does Medieval almost like Terry Pratchett (Merlin is somehow just his wizard style. Did he get inspiration…

We’ll Call This One “Lucky”

101 Dalmatians (1961) I had to rewatch this one, even though it’s pretty iconic. I came to a number of realization watching it again. First, I adore Lucky. He’s funny in that small child, endearing way. Thus, we love him. I won’t go into the plot description, because Cruella de Vil’s villainy is so famous,…
