Movie Review: All Dogs Go to Heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
Really, the only reason I'm writing this review is to debunk the "too dark for children" issue. C'mon people! Has the world gone soft or something? I watched this film when I was at least five years old back in the early 1990's and I thought it was incredibly satisfactory. Ya, it was scary in some parts. Ya, it was violent. So what? I don't remember getting any nightmares or crying or anything. In fact, the gritty tone of this movie was what made it so special. Most animated films these days are so horribly politically correct and "dumbed down" for children that I don't even know how they can stand to watch them themselves.
Charlie, the protagonist of the story, I have to agree with the naysayers, really is an evil character. He lies, cheats, and steals all throughout the movie. Near the end, he says "Look, I don't care about the girl! I tell her things now and then. I pretend to be her best friend but its bologna!" But it's thanks to this horrible side of him that makes the climax of the film so powerful. If you haven't seen it yet, then I won't give it away specifically, but basically what happens is he overcomes his former self and does the right thing.
What I'm really trying to say is don't judge too harshly just because it's a little non-ethical with it's storytelling compared to today's standards. The movie really does have an honest side and is a welcome addition to anyone's collection.
Movie Review: A Heavenly Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I think I first saw this film when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Just about a month ago I saw the sequel on television and then I suddenly remembered this animated masterpiece. Welp, a few clicks and the order was on its way... (I couldn't find this title from EU at all)As soon as the package arrived I ripped it open and put the disk into the player. Time passed and as I was watching the end credits I was feeling very impressed and good.So waddaya know, waddaya say? This movie is a true classic if you ask me. The Characters and their voices in particular are very good. Both Dom DeLuise and Burt Reynolds have done a great job and therefore it's very enjoyable to watch Charlie's story go further. I think the songs fit in pretty nicely too -ie. "Soon You'll Come Home" is good so are the others. What deserves a true thumb-up, however, is the animation - it's very good looking and surely 'feeds the eyes'. Oh.. that means.. something.. *grin*
Summary: This one is a must for persons who like animal-centered movies, and for the rest I would also highly recommend it. And naturally for all ages - I, myself, am an 18-year old (perfectly normal) guy who likes this movie at least as much as Terminator II. So if you haven't seen "All Dogs Go To Heaven" yet now it's time fix that little problem.
By the way, Don Bluth, thank you!
Movie Review: Good but dark
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie when I was about 8 years old. Even though it was rated G there were several parts in this movie that scared the daylights out of me and gave thousands of nightmares for several years after I saw it the first time. This movies content has several impropriate content stuff in it for those under thirten. This includes contents of gambling drinking, lying, stealing, revenge, murder, kidnapping and other. I don't recomend leting any under thirteen watch this movie unless there supermature or super supervised. The two most intense parts in this movie were the dream seqeunce when the main characters a German shephard Charlie dreams he is pulled down into hell by a Tornado. The other part that scared me the most was when Charlie and Ann Merry are captured by these native mice and for reasons never explained are offered as scarfices to a Shamu size alligator. For those of you that have young sibglings under 13 the All dogs Christmas charol maybe the only all dogs movie they may be able to watch. You don't have to listen to what I say but I thought I'd just warm you so you might not have nigtmares until you are in your mid teens. I must go now have a nice day.Movie Review: All Dogs Go to Heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
When a casino owning dog named Charlie is murdered by his rival Carface, he finds himself in Heaven basically by default since all dogs go to heaven. However, since he wants to get back at his killer, he cons his way back to the living with the warning that doing that damns him to Hell. Once back, he teams with his old partner, Itchy to prep his retaliation. He also stumbles on to an orphan girl who can talk to the animals, thus allowing him to get the inside info on the races to ensure his wins to finance his plans. However, all the while, he is still haunted by nightmares on what's waiting for him on the other side unless he can prove that he is worthy of Heaven again. Beautiful animation and appealing characters are just two of the things to like about this movie. I found it to be the most touching, funny, and enjoyable animated movie. A treat for Don Bluth fans and animation buffs.Movie Review: 5 stars for the movie - not the disc
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I don't need to repeat what has already been said. It's not a movie for little kids, but it's a wonderful piece of animated art that is a refreshing new way of telling a story - I mean you can tell from beginning to end that this is not a Disney movie (not that Disney isn't good, I just think they shouldn't dominate the world of animated art alone). I was 8 when I first saw it and now I still love with all my heart.So I was really happy to finally get it on dvd.
However, the format is 4:3 - no Widescreen (!) and there is no Dolby Digital 5.1 track on that disc. Am I too spoiled by watching Disney DVDs or does MGM just don't care about the movies they put on dvd? It's the same with The Secret of Nimh.
They should be ashamed to decrease the viewing pleasure of their customers like that! 0 stars for MGM
