Disney's Robin Hood review

     Disney's Robin Hood is an amazing film and a near-masterpiece in my opinion brought down a bit by some flaws in animation that I will get into later.

    It's funny and exciting,  a delightful romp, clever and varied with a bit of everything,  including romance and sad moments.

    The villains are great! Prince John and Sir Hiss are quite funny while the Sherrif of Nottingham is cruel and malicious as well as greedy.

    The songs are great and range from upbeat to sad and mournful.

    As I briefly mentioned before, the main flaws in this movie involve some of the animation.

   For the most part this movie looks great with fluid and vivid animation and detailed backgrounds but for one thing, it inherits a similar problem from Aristocats as sometimes the characters look scratchy around the edges. Even more distracting and significant a flaw is the reuse of animation from early films in one particular scene. Animation from earlier films such as Snow White and Jungle Book are reused with Robin Hood characters pasted on. It was quite noticeable and jarring to me and I feel it might bother other viewers as well.

     This almost completely family friendly movie has scenes of peril that might possibly alarm extremely young viewers. Also I believe there was some smoking. 

    Overall,  despite its flaws this is a great film and I give it a 9.5.

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.

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.

Revised Tier List of Animated Disney Films from 1937 to 1968

   I added S+ Tier and I am redoing the original Tier list for 1937-1968. Also have changed the score on some films. S+ Pinnochio 10 Sleeping Beauty 10 Jungle Book 10 Lady and the Tramp 10 Bambi 10-I think this was in a slightly lower position last time. Its a masterpiece though in every way and one of Disney's most heartwarming stories. 101 Dalmatians 10 Cinderella 10 Peter Pan 10-I think I ranked this very slightly higher last time. I love it and still think its S+ Tier but the prejudice against native Americans is very offensive and noticeable.  Snow White 10 Fantasia 10-rank it higher than last time, its a 10 and S+. Yes some viewers won't like it but its an absolute masterpiece in quality. S tier Alice in Wonderland-10 ranking it higher. Yeah its not the most cohesive story but its so fun and unique,  I love it too much for it to be less than 10 and an S tier film A tier Dumbo-9.5 I think this is slightly higher than last time. I hate the racism but I love the h...
