Mark's Reviews

    The "Wise Old Hen" is one of the best animated shorts I've ever seen. Originally released in 1984, it is so wholesome and adorable.  Absolutely a great short animation for young children, it's so charming and sweet that it can be adored by all ages. Also, the baby chickens with their little shoes are one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Love it!     Of course, it's family-friendly, and it also teaches a good moral lesson.     It's so great, of course it's S+ Tier, and 10 out of 10. 

    An amazingly fun and exciting beat-em up game for the Sega Genesis,  it might not reach the heights of Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, but it almost does. Excellent game!      Its family-friendly like other Turtles games but does feature mild and bloodless violence as its a beat-em up.       Its S+ Tier, 10 out of 10. Love it!

    This spectacular port of the Turtles in Time arcade game actually improves upon the original game with extra bosses and a whole extra level. And I also feel like it played smoother. Its awesome and one of the best! Love it! S+ tier, 10 out of 10.

     The "Shortstober with Big City Greens" is a delightful and fun collection of vaguely Halloween-related shorts. Most are references to other Disney properties such as Amphibia or the Ghost and Molly McGee and if you are as unfamiliar with this material as much as I was you might not get the context of the references. But regardless I thought this collection of shorts were great. Fun, funny, creative, whimsical, and wholesome. Also makes me want to watch the Big City Greens and other shows featured.    Family-friendly but(Don't Read further if you don't want a spoiler) there is a scene where a ghost eats too much Halloween candy and vomits--its portrayed in a cute and humorous sort of way but might be too gross for some.    Its great and my favorite of the more modern shorts I've reviewed for Halloween/Spooky season. Still its scattered and some of the references might be lost on you if you aren't familiar with the different shows referenced. For th...

     Mickey's Wonderful World of Autumn is cute, charming, and funny and I love the cameos of some classic Disney characters. It's good and I prefer it over the Spooktacular special I reviewed earlier. That said, it doesn't rise to the greatness of classic shorts like "Lonesome Ghosts" or "The Old Mill". I do enjoy this colorful fall-themed special though.      It's very family-friendly and for people of all ages.     It's A tier, 9 out of 10. 

            Mickey's Halloween Spooktacular is a charming and funny Halloween special featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as well as Huey, Duey, and Louie, and some mouse kids who I presume are relatives of Mickey.     It's a familiar formula,  a larger framework story containing three short stories. They are amusing, and Mickey's shift from over-the-top glee at trying to spook the children to his extreme frustration at failing to tell a scary story is a highlight, and I found it very amusing. But overall I prefer the more classic Disney cartoons like Lonesome Ghosts or Trick or Treat.    It's mostly family-friendly and appropriate for its intended child audience.  But (Don't read the next part if you don't want spoilers) some thematic elements in the third short might seem quite disturbing for a children's show if you think too much about it as it involves a witch that makes pies out of naughty children.  ...
