Yep another nature documentary very similar to the last one The Living Desert.

This one has a bit more of a conservation message in it as you might guess from the name. I wish I knew how much impact this had on that but there isn't much info on this one for some reason. Even tho it won several awards this was has been forgotten and only Living Desert has been remembered which is a shame.

This one has humorous moments in it like the last one but they toned it down a bit here so it's more in line with David Attinborough silly moments. In fact, this one felt a lot more like that as it also followed the lives of certain families for a while like those docuseries do. Less silliness means this one might not appeal to kids as much as the other one but there is a lot of cool stuff here tho.

Those poor prairie dogs just don't catch a break -v-'

There is just one thing to discuss tho. I managed to find the full version but there is a version with 10 mins or even 20 mins cut. I'm not sure what they decided to cut but there is some controversy about the birth scene so that part was likely cut. What is your guys opinion on whether live birth should be in a child friendly nature documentary?

Personally, I think its fine as children brought up on a farm can handle it and its part of nature so they should know about it as they will eventually anyways. Maybe not very young kids but it shouldn't be banned altogether. A PG rating would make sense to me as it does depend on the child in question. Some kids also struggle with seeing pray getting caught and eaten in nature documentaries and I think that should follow the same rules.

Ah but I'm rambling a bit. Overall, a good documentary and its a shame it got overtaken by The Living Desert as it deserves the same praise I think. I'd recommend it if you want to learn more about American wildlife ^w^

Another great costume movie. I love these. It's such a shame they weren't successful ;^;

I feel like this is one of the best ones yet. They did what I wanted them to do. Picked a naturally exciting story from history and did it justice without adding random humour and music to it. Although they couldn't resist a dance scene of course -v-' but it was plot relevant so its forgivable. It's a perfect period drama for the time imo. Probably one of the only times Disney took it seriously from beginning to end.

It had happy moments, sad moments, romance, revenge, action and a satisfying ending. Great acting and costumes to. What more could you want? I'd say the action in this is also the best they have done yet. You can really feel some of those hits.

Honestly, I don't know what to criticise here. I love it from top to bottom. The more I think about each aspect the more I appreciate how well crafted it was to. The pacing was pretty perfect as well. I can't think of a single thing they could improve for what they were going for! Maybe I'm just star struck. I'd love to hear more opinions coz this one seems to have been forgotten.

I can't really comment on how accurate the movie is in detail but it seems pretty close to me. There are no notes that I can see about anything being too inaccurate like there was with the other movies they did either but that might be just due to lack of info in general on this one. Maybe someone else can chime in on that part for me?

Well as a nature lover and not knowing much about american desert wildlife, this was an interesting watch.

I have also never seen a documentary from so long ago so I don't know if it was common to have orchestra musical accompaniment in documentaries back then but it certainly made it more fun and interesting. I also had no idea they could show inside burrows and time lapses. I was sure that was a later technology so I wonder how they did this? Interesting indeed.

This documentary does have some silly moments and I have to agree with critics that the scorpion scene is pretty cringey in its attempt at humour. I can understand them trying to make it appeal to younger audiences but that was a little much I think -v-' The other humour moments come off better tho and I imagine they would help to keep children more engaged which is good.

I have watched a bunch of David Attinborough documentaries and Disney might have taken some inspiration from this or vice versa coz some of the humour kinda felt like some moments from those docuseries. It does help to have little silly moments like that to lighten the mood from the harshness of nature and to help keep it from getting too boring imo. The musical aspect also helps to keep you engaged but at some moments the music went a little too hard and for too long imo and was bit overwhelming. That mud pit scene was fun but it was so long it ended up being unintentionally awkward and funny XD

I'm not sure about the personification aspect they added tho. At times they gave animals names and said some animals were related to others which is cute in theory and might help engagement for kids but I'm not sure if that might be sending the wrong message in some ways for children's education. I have seen this done in modern kids nature clips to and it always bothers me. Maybe that's just me tho. What do you think about this?

Overall, I'd say this was a great summary of the american west wildlife with plenty of moments to help children learn to which is great. There isn't too much nature documentaries that appeal to children like this (without being too cringe and short) so its nice to see. I'd recommend this to help kids get invested in nature ^w^ Not to say it doesn't also appeal to adults to but they might find some of the humour a little cringe.

I don't really understand the hate for this one. It's not one of their better ones but it certainly isn't awful either. If you don't know much about the history or historical accuracy doesn't bother you much, its a pretty fun watch. The characters are certainly full of character with great acting and there is plenty of action and even some silly moments.

Unfortunately, if you do care about history you might not like this one. They tried to be accurate and it is more serious and accurate than all Disney movies up to this point but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton wrong with it. There are a ton of inaccuracies, one of the most notable being how they basically created a villain out of nowhere to make the story more interesting (the "friend" guy of the lady. sorry I'm not good at names -v-').

But you can understand why because without this the story would probably be boring as most historical accounts. But then you have to wonder why they decided to even make this in the first place. I think they did the best they could out of the material and it isn't bad but it just isn't good material for the Disney formula if you know what I mean. I feel like more people could have given them the benefit of the doubt here tho. It seems they were doomed if they did and doomed if they didn't.

I feel like this one was disliked because it was too much of a departure from what most of the audience was used to, especially from Disney. A bit too experimental. But looking back at it, it is a fun little way of learning some stuff about Henry VIII. This ones kinda obscure so have any of you guys seen it? what do you think? Would love to hear people's thoughts. ^w^

Ah its a classic for a reason. Very nice and full of classic Disney whimsy. Dangit that ending gets me in the heart so bad.

It isn't a personal favourite of mine but that's only due to my personal taste not being a fan of action movies and slapstick humour too much. I certainly wont judge the movie for that. It's perfect as a kids movie with a good pacing of quiet moments, comedy and action. It also has some good characters and morels to. Although the ending appeals to adult nostalgia most of the movie doesn't and that's ok.

One thing is I love the intro song "Second Star to the Right". The version of this movie I had when I was younger didn't have the title cards so I missed the song completely which is a shame coz it is now my favourite one from the movie. It's kind of like a theme song for the movie which makes me wonder why it wasn't used at the ending. I think it would have fit better there than the "You Can Fly" song to wind the movie down at the end. What do you think?

Even tho I am not much of a fan of slapstick humour, I can still appreciate good stuff and this is some of Disney's best slapstick comedy animation I think they have ever done so far. It is amazingly creative and varied despite the similar settings and characters used.

There is quite a lot of dark themes in this that I don't remember being so dark. I think it might be my adult mind looking back at it but there is certainly quite a bit of violence in this uncut version. I know its a cartoon so they don't quite have the same effect but some young kids might take some of this stuff a little too seriously so I'm glad it has a higher rating now.

Does anyone remember Captain Hook literally shooting one of his crew dead in the first few seconds of his introduction? That surprised me considering he is so cartoonish in the rest of the movie. Kinda caught me off guard 0_0. Then there is the mermaids which try to drown Wendy. This makes sense with the legends of mermaids at the time but they aren't associated with that with kids anymore so that must be confusing for any modern kids watching this.

Also Tinkerbell straight up tries to murder Wendy at one point and has no guilt or accidental part to it either. She admits it! Couldn't do that nowadays lol XD She does redeem herself in the end tho which is nice ^w^ The only problem I have is with how this redeeming was done. I think they went a little too fast coz when I was younger I watched this movie several times and never really picked up on the part where Tinkerbell tells Peter to rescue Wendy instead of her. I feel like that's a very important part of this but it gets brushed over so quickly it just doesn't stick so well. Then Tinkerbell is just in the next scene with no confirmation she is fine other than that. It feels like something was cut here. Just a few more minutes to show her weakness and rescue would have done wonders here I think. Maybe its my mind being too trained on more modern kids movie methods. What do you think?

The only other thing I have to mention is the general message of the movie about growing up. I'm not entirely sure this was portrayed as well as it could have been tbh but I'm also not sure how they could have improved it either. It feels like maybe a bit more time with Wendy and Peter discussing stuff was needed to really make this idea clear but they replaced it with more comedy instead. It follows it well at the start but then it feels like it kinda forgets about it for most of the middle and then it is a bit jarring when it comes back at the end. I think a little more inserting of this idea throughout the movie to keep it in mind would have helped but idk. Opinions?

I can't say much about how it portrays the original ideas of the story because I don't know the original source material this is based on so this is just speculation really. I feel like I am not the best voice for this conversation but I feel like due to the growing up message, more of this movie should appeal to older audiences or maybe it is only to appeal to that inbetween age. As you can tell, I am kinda confused on this -v-'

btw I also just love the scene where Captain Hook convinces Tinkerbell to tell him where the hideout is by manipulating her emotions. The way he plays the piano and grins behind her back in that scene is just great XD

I'm rambling a bit tho. Overall, this is a wonderful movie for kids although maybe not kids which are too young as it might scare or confuse them. Lots to entertain and good things to learn.

(live action 1952 movie)

It's such a shame this movie was forgotten. It is a dang good Robin Hood movie. It has good acting, good pacing and great music to.

That scene with Friar at the river made me laugh so much omg! XD I NEED to share that with more people. Comedy GOLD! That song I am going to have stuck in my head for days now I just know it.

I also feel like the lady in this has way more personality than she did in the animated one they made later. I just love how Robin and Marian's relationship is done in this.

Warning if you want to check this one out tho. The villain death is one of the most gruesome in Disney history (no actual gore but implied horrible way to go). oof! XS

I find this one hard to criticise coz I genuinely love it! Just the right amount of each thing to keep the story going imo. Although it is a little funny how this bard just turns up randomly and plays music to excuse the musical parts in the realistic setting XD Also I'm not sure if I'm just dumb and didn't notice but I swear the bard's dog comes out of flipping nowhere half way through the film. WTF?!

In conclusion, I recommend checking this one out. A forgotten classic in my book :3

This is the perfect material for Disney and it shows their creativity on full display. It's just madness from beginning to end and that's basically what it is intended to be.

I'm glad Disney decided to try to keep as much of the original writing as possible coz I think that is one really good thing about this and helps Alice's character a lot. The writing is definitely important to keeping the intelligence and quality of the original. This is one of my favourite characters Disney ever did as she has so much more personality than most but then again, that might just be due to the writing they borrowed from.

Sadly, a lot was cut in the process of production and that makes me sad. I would love to see a full reedited cut of what the full version could have been like. Then again, this movie is rather fast and kinda tiring in the end so maybe more would be too much -v-'

The craziness, action and comedy is certainly great for younger audiences and a great way to introduce to the story to them but I'm not sure if it is the best rendition of the books possible tho. Like I said, a lot was cut including some pretty significant stuff. I am confused why they were cut tho as the reason is listed in my sources as being for pacing. What pacing?! If anything less pacing makes more sense for this. What do you think? What part which was cut would you most like to see?

I have always had a kinda natural hate for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum and I'm not sure why -v-' but the Walrus and the Carpenter story is probably my fav part as it is my fav part of the book to coz of the writing. I also like the flower scene quite a lot coz of the creativity of all the designs and the music. It's one of the only slower moments to.

I find the older I get, the less I like this movie as a whole tho. Maybe its a bit too much confusion and excitement for me but I tend to just find a lot of it annoying rather than fun. Maybe I feel Alice's frustration a bit too much. The caterpillar in particular always made me angry.

I know this is most people's favourite version of Alice and Wonderland and it does cover the story and the tones of the original book pretty well considering but I still tend to prefer other softer renditions of it. I prefer to have a random but happy wonderland rather than a complete chaos wonderland if that makes sense. My life has been pretty chaotic so its probably a personal thing.

It's hard to criticise things in particular in this since it is meant to be crazy and lacking in sense so specific criticism feels kinda pointless. It is complete fantasy for the sake of fantasy which is great but it comes with drawbacks. I think those drawbacks are more to do with the story itself rather than the Disney version tho, except for the cut content of course.

To end this on a more positive note. I also love almost all the little ditties in this. I kinda have mixed feelings about this one. I love some parts and hate others.
