Aaand we're back to the gimmick comedies. Chimps were popular throughout the '60s. People liked chimps. Walt made several movies with chimps. Clearly, the key to making a good, successful movie is chimps. The studio's desperation is showing something awful now, isn't it? Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

The Aristocats (1970)
Bonjour mes amis! Throughout this project I've been looking at the animated features as pleasant little islands of excitement in a sea of obscure live action films. Some islands are more exciting than others, but hey, every animated feature is somebody's favorite. Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

The Wild Country (1970)
My entire soul cringes into my body when I see the words "American frontier" in an IMDB summary. I can't help it. It just happens. It's like a cat with a spray bottle. Wait, nope, cats are the next movie. Either way, send help. Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit. AnyContinue reading "The Wild Country (1970)"
The Boatniks (1970)
It's comedy time again! And this time it's based on... a slang term that had fallen out of fashion a decade earlier. Cool. Good to know Disney's still hip and cool with the kids. But will the movie itself sink or swim? Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit. Any material, includingContinue reading "The Boatniks (1970)"
King of the Grizzlies (1970)
We've got a whole new decade ahead of us, but we're still doing the same old stuff. Why? I don't know. But I guess we'll just have to grin and bear it.

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969)
It's been an entire year and a half, but we've finally reached the end of the '60s! And what better way to finish things out than with a familiar place? We've had some... times at mighty Medfield, and we're going to have some more! Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

Rascal (1969)
On this episode of flinging stuff at a wall to see what sticks, we dive back into the halcyon days of the Main Street movies. And you know what? I'll take it! Hit or miss is better than consistently bad, right? Right? Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit. Any material, includingContinue reading "Rascal (1969)"
Smith! (1969)
This is not what I had in mind when I said I was tired of watching the same movie over and over again. In fact, this is the opposite of helpful. Sigh.

Is this what it feels like to be popular?
One of my favorite podcasts gave me a shout-out today! Megan and Katie from Grown Up Kids mentioned my blog post on The Ugly Dachshund while they discussed the many, many issues in that movie. I'm so honored! I've been listening to them since I started this blog, as one of the podcasts I listenContinue reading "Is this what it feels like to be popular?"
The Love Bug (1968)
Review number 100! And thank goodness, it's a movie people have actually heard of! It's on Disney+! And I didn't even have to screencap it myself! Oh, sure, it's another Dean Jones and his ___ movie, but there's got to be a reason people remember it, right? Let's get off to the races! Disclaimer: ThisContinue reading "The Love Bug (1968)"
