Movie Reviews of Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Fever
Movie Review: Took time to grow on me, but now I love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit, I bought this for two reasons: 1) the cover - I liked it. 2) because Gustafer lives in Minnesota, where my partner grew up and her family is from. Not a lot of Minnesota in the media. I saw it in a store, so I didn't read any reviews or description. I just bought it on the spur of the moment. When I brought it home, I popped it in the DVD player, and, well, I found myself sort of disappointed.
It was nice enough, but all of the songs sort of sounded alike. And the "music videos" were VERY laid back. There's not much true animation to them. Most of it shows still pictures where the characters move from one part of the frame to the next in a still picture jump. I'm not sure if that makes sense. It's like, Gustafer is in the upper right hand corner. Then the image changes a few seconds later, and he's in the center. Another few seconds, and he appears in the left hand side of the shot. The other type of motion that is prevalent is the camera panning over a still image. To sum this little digression up, the music is pretty mellow, and the videos are slowly paced.
I'd also been expecting (I don't know why) that the songs would be like a musical and the album would have a plot line that progressed, as opposed to each song being self-contained and not related to the others. So I was disappointed about that too.
Then I put the CD in my car to listen to (with my kids, by the way), and I started really hearing the songs. And I liked them. A lot. So much that this CD is all I've been listening to in my car for the past week, with or without my kids present.
In my experience, the DVD isn't something that kids are going to sit down and WATCH, like Disney's Cars for instance. But it's nice to have on in the background while you do other things, and if the songs hook you (like they did me) you won't regret the purchase.
