Disney's Rescuers review

      Disney's Rescuers in my opinion is an extremely underrated Disney classic that tells a dark story of child abduction and exploitation with great sensitivity and care and balances the maturity of the dark plot with loads of charm and humor from Bernard and Bianca as well as other amusing animal characters. 

     The songs are great even though, they aren't that many of them. The animation for the most part is great with my only major complaint is sometimes characters can be a bit too scratchy around the edges like other animated Disney films of this era. Yet I don't think i noticed this problem as much in Rescuers as I did early films. Also some might compain that once the scene shifts to the swamp where a majority of Rescuers take place the backgrounds became very drab and gloomy with muted colors.  However I feel that this matches the atmosphere of the environment and darker mood perfectly.

      The characters are great especially Penny who is adorable and sweet and even a bit sassy despite her dire situation. Bernard and Bianca are such charming and lovable protagonists and Medusa is one of the cruelest and most selfish of Disney villains as she has no regard for Penny's safety and well-being.

    Overall Rescuers is a family-friendly animated film despite irs dark subject matter but it does have alcohol references and might be a bit too much for very young children.

    What a sweet film and a classic. I love it and give it a 10 out of 10.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves Review

       Disney's original animated film Snow White is a stunning masterpiece, whimsical and fun, but with its share of darker moments. It is a timeless classic that is as enjoyable today as it was in 1937 when it first released in theaters. The dwarves are fun and funny and oozing with music and charm. Snow White is charming, sweet, and wholesome. It is movie for all ages young and old. I would give it 10 out of 10.

Disney's Lady and the Tramp Review

     This beautiful and charming film,  Lady and the Tramp, is yet another absolute masterpiece.     In my opinion this might be the best dog-centric animated film of all time and is an amazingly fun and endearing time with charming characters especially the leads, the adorable and sweet Lady and the rambunctious yet good-hearted Tramp.      The spaghetti/ Bella Nota segment deserves special mention as it's absolutely iconic and heartwarming.       It is mostly family-friendly but there is a scene that briefly implies the death of a dog in the pound as one of the characters says the dog "is taking the long walk" which might be too upsetting to tender-hearted young children.       Overall,  this is one of Disney's most adorable,  heartwarming,  and frankly best films so far and another 10 out of 10.

Disney's Melody Time Review

     Disney's Melody Time is another fairly average Disney package era film but I enjoy it more than Fun and Fancy Free,  mostly because it lacks anything as obnoxious as the terrible puppets. But it lacks cohesion and is a collection of charming small shorts with two segments that in my opinion clearly stand out as the more interesting and engaging parts of the film.       Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill segments are fantastic shorts with good songs and fun stories. I wish that the film was composed of only these two and they were expanded. I feel like the other shorts aren't nearly as good, though I also liked Blame it on the Samba if only because it was good getting to see Donald Duck and Jose Carioca from Three Caballeros again.       Overall this is a very family-friendly film but parents might be concerned of smoking in the Pecos Bill cartoon and a scene of Native Americans in the same feature that might be considered racist by som...
