3 stars for Saludos Amigos

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:59:24 GMT

CW's review: "From what I�ve been able to find out, this movie (and I use the term loosely) was originally intended to be a series of shorts, kind of like how Fantasia originated as the short film The Sorcerer�s Apprentice. For one reason or another, four of the proposed shorts ended up being used in the film and were framed by..."

2 stars for Johnny Bravo

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:46:42 GMT

Toonboy's review: "Apparently this show is now considered retro enough to place in Boomerang's lineup. In the words of Johnny himself... "Yeah whatever." This show is explicitly painful to watch. It pales in comparison to other Boomerang classics like The Powerpuff Girls or Dexter's Lab. Bravo is exactly like Dee Dee, but not as charming. The main character is dumber than a box of..."

3.5 stars for Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:11:10 GMT

Toonboy's review: "One of only three shows on Cartoon Network I'll ever actively seek out, the other two being Generator Rex and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and this one doesn't have a single moment I've ever regretted watching so far. This show is well-animated and a visual work of art. It is darkly surreal, an inverted vision of some candy land playground..."

3 stars for Bambi 2

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:59:17 GMT

CW's review: "There is a place where the grass is what�s for dinner. Birds sing, deer dance and play, new life is born each spring. Everyone lives in harmony with each other, even the owl. But when your given name seems to be Friend, I guess you�d feel guilty if you salivated at the sight of one of the..."

3.5 stars for Bambi

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:58:38 GMT

CW's review: "When Disney made Fantasia, their original concept was to make a single Silly Symphony and they ended up making a feature film that was full of various short symphonies. While watching Bambi recently, I got the impression that the film was meant to be one long symphony, for music played such a large part to the narrative. Aside..."

3 stars for Phineas and Ferb

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:17:25 GMT

Toonboy's review: "The greatest Disney theme song since Darkwing Duck. The most inept villain ever. The most annoyingly persistent older sister ever. The most impossibly absurd situations ever. Combine all of these, and you've got Phineas and Ferb. Despite the mind-boggling premise and the hype of the absolutely wicked fun theme song, the execution of the show deflates it into three star territory...."

3 stars for Dumbo

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 08:02:31 GMT

CW's review: "In a world where sexual intercourse simply does not exist (so wait, how did anyone know they were expecting?), a circus that made a stop in the state of Florida got visited by a flock of storks delivering babies to many of the animals, but there was no baby for a lonely female elephant longing for a child of her..."

1 stars for Clerks

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:19:54 GMT

CW's review: "I don�t know what�s wrong with everyone. If someone decides to make an animated series that�s aimed for an audience other than little kids, they almost always make it a sitcom. As if there isn�t already enough sitcoms out there, they have to animate them as well? I�m hardly interested in the sitcoms that are already on..."

2.5 stars for Star Wars: Clone Wars

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:07:42 GMT

Azmuth's review: "I used to watch this seires as a kid on teletoon and I thought it was amazing i like the comic like graphics and i liked the storyline i also liked the way they detailed the characters like obi-wan-kanobi and c3po and anikan skywalker their all well done characters...."

3 stars for The Borrower Arrietty

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:11:25 GMT

starlac's review: "The Borrowers has been subject of a few movies over the years. Last Christmas, the BBC had a TV movie with Stephen Fry and Victoria Wood, which I forgot to watch, and then there was that Working Title film from the Nineties, of which the only thing I remember is that it starred John Goodman. Hiromasa Yonebayashi, newest - and currently..."

1.5 stars for Song of the Birds

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 19:12:37 GMT

lupercal's review: "Charlton Heston Meets PETA meets NRA meets Elmer Fudd meets Bambi meets Rosa Parks. Audrey goes gun crazy and shoots at everything that moves - including, early on, putting a tomato on a black mama servant's head and shooting it, causing mama to go various shades from half-bred to white and back to black (AC/DC reference incidental). And this was 1949,..."

1.5 stars for Gargoyles

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:32:50 GMT

Neil's review: "I think this must be one of those "you had to be there" kind of things. I didn't pay much attention to it during its original airing, since it looked much the same as the countless toy-driven cartoons that were around at the time; but a couple of years ago, after all of the positive buzz I heard about it online,..."

2.5 stars for Puss in Boots

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:06:38 GMT

starlac's review: "Something I've never really been a fan of, is DreamWorks' series of Shrek films, though that might be a little unfair since I gave up watching them after the second out of general apathy more than anything, as well as the looming realization that DreamWorks didn't really seem to know what to do with animation despite having their hands on..."

4 stars for Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:31:08 GMT

Azmuth's review: "I love this seires it has good storylines and nice detail to the plot and the characters like obi-wan-kenobi and anikan skywalker and count dooku their all well done their great characters on the starwar the clonewars seires i have played some of the lego starwars videogames theri their were a lot of fun...."

3 stars for Fantasia

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:02:22 GMT

CW's review: "Note: this review is based on the censored version of the movie that started circulating in the late '60s. You know, I�m sure that when audiences went to see this movie back in 1940, they were expecting to see an animated feature film, not a so-called �live� concert. I don�t know what concerts were like back then, with Frank Sinatra..."

4 stars for The Adventures of Brer Rabbit

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:12:08 GMT

J-Kitty's review: "Right now,this film is the only film based on the Tales of Uncle Remus that I have, because the Disney Studios will not re-release "The Song Of The South" on DVD, because of some controversy regarding its content. But I have seen the movie online, and quite frankly I love both films (I am not one to take sides). The film..."

1 stars for Matches: An Appeal

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:56:52 GMT

lupercal's review: "Not perhaps the first animation, but certainly the first stop-animation (1899). This is simply a short ad for Bryant and May encouraging the viewer to buy matches so that Bryant and May might send money to the troops in the Boer War (it would seem more logical to just send matches to the troops, but nevermind: apparently animation was born..."

1 stars for Eight Crazy Nights

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:48:59 GMT

lonely_princess's review: "This is a terrible movie. I feel its nothing but an ego trip for Sandler. Everything about this movie is wrong. The voices are dire and grating. The songs are forgetable and the story isnt anything special its just a mixture of toilet humour and humilation. I wouldnt pay to see this movie ever...."

2.5 stars for Batman: The Animated Series

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:45:25 GMT

lonely_princess's review: "I am afraid I am in the minority when it comes to reviewing this series. I have to admit i have only seen the first 56 episodes but I think thats enough to get an idea of a series. Whilst the animation was top notch I found some of the episodes were just filler. ( I mean did anybody care about sid..."

4 stars for Gargoyles

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:27:37 GMT

athena's review: "It blows my mind that I haven't gotten around to reviewing this series yet since it was one of those that I consider a quintessential part of my TV watching growing up. I bought the Season 1 DVD set as an adult and found that it does hold up fairly well even today. I think what intrigued me the most about..."

2 stars for Star Wars: Ewoks

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:42:14 GMT

Azmuth's review: "I like this show a little bit not as much as starwars droid because the intro does not display more that of starwars driods does and becausethe storyline displays more info as well.Starwars droids and starwars ewoks were both apart of my childhood there were my child hood shows...."

3.5 stars for Pinocchio

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 07:56:19 GMT

CW's review: "I suppose I should get this out of the way now: I like to take pride in knowing the background of the movies and video games I review, but unfortunately I�m woefully ignorant of the original versions of most of the Disney Animated Canon. I think I may have read two or three of the original stories at the..."

3.5 stars for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:43:45 GMT

athena's review: "I admit to being a serious My Little Pony fan as a kid--the TV show, the toys, etc.--but would freely admit that looking back on the obsession as an adult the whole business seems a bit silly now. When I heard they were making yet another reboot, my scepticism level was fairly high and I couldn't imagine a scenario where..."

4 stars for Star Trek: The Animated Adventures

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 03:21:22 GMT

Azmuth's review: "I like startrek just like i like starwars i also like a another sci-fi and thats doctor who i watch it sometimes.I have watch some startrek movie like startrek:frist contact and startrek:the voyage home i love the animation done to this show and the storyline a little bit. ..."

4 stars for The Sky Princess

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:35:29 GMT

J-Kitty's review: " At first I had never seen (or heard) of this short...Until I had watched it online at YouTube and after that I'd love it. I loved that this short is a fairy tale, I still love fairy tales though I am 26-years-old. Anyway this short is an original fairy tale about a prince who sails on his..."
