If there was one movie I watched almost as much as The Little Mermaid growing up it was... okay, well, it was Sleeping Beauty. But I also watched the sequel a lot. But this wouldn't be the first mermaid movie I watched a lot that didn't hold up to my adult eyes. Let's experience disappointmentContinue reading "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (2000)"
The Little Mermaid (1989)
Disney Animation has been floundering for over twenty years at this point. We've managed to keep the ship from sinking, but this is the point where they finally find their feet. I don't know when, I don't know how, but I know something's starting right now! Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not forContinue reading "The Little Mermaid (1989)"
Cheetah (1989)
Hakuna Matata... what a wonderful phrase! But did you know The Lion King isn't the first time American audiences heard it? You didn't? Well, maybe there's a reason for that.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)
It's always nice to appreciate the little things. It's not so nice to be the little things, especially when it's the direct result of staggering incompetence and junk science. But it makes for some cool effects! Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

Oliver & Company (1988)
You know in movies when a character falls down a deep pit and has to make a grueling yet heroic climb back to the top? There's always a moment when they're almost there where they slip and almost fall, but catch themself at the last second on a rock or a branch or something. ThisContinue reading "Oliver & Company (1988)"
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
How do I love this movie? Let me count the ways! One one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand.... Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit.

Return to Snowy River (1988)
Like Benji the Hunted before it, today's feature presentation is another sequel. Unlike Benji the Hunted before it, it is actually pretty important to have a passing familiarity with the original to understand this one. Which means that I had to track down not one, but two Westerns that aren't on Disney+. You're welcome. Disclaimer:Continue reading "Return to Snowy River (1988)"
Benji the Hunted (1987)
I thought we'd left the True Life Fantasies behind. I mean I was so confident I talked extensively about it in A Tale of Two Critters. But oh no. Oh no, my friends. They're back. At least the dog is adorable. Disclaimer: This blog is purely recreational and not for profit. Any material, including imagesContinue reading "Benji the Hunted (1987)"
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
I love a good cult classic, and I do believe that this is the last one of the 1980s before we start getting into the bona fide classics. So, do you think we should see if the Golden Age of the Cult Classic lets us off on a note that's as weird and wonderful asContinue reading "Flight of the Navigator (1986)"
The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
What's the best animated movie of the Disney Dark Ages? Why, it's elementary, my dear reader! The game is afoot! And other Sherlockian cliches! And also rat divorce! Oh, we are so back.
