Continued dorkery
Yesterday was my little brother's birthday party, so he had a bunch of friends over. Also, he had angel food cake and pound cake because he insisted he didn't want any frosting. For some reason I find this very strange.
My Disney mission continues onwards! I'm on to Pete's Dragon now, which seems to be at the tail end of a series of mostly-live-action films peppered with some animation that they did in the 70s. For one thing, it's reminded me that Bedknobs and Broomsticks is a really boring movie.
It seems like Disney hit another good stride in the 50s -with stuff like Cinderella and Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp, which was all a big jump in quality from the stuff after wartime- and then around Jungle Book and onwards they hit this stretch where Disney ran out of time and money and just started copying over all of their animation. They pretty much reused all of Baloo's animation as Little John in Robin Hood anyway. A bunch of the movies from this time have these...I dunno, parts in them that always frightened or unsettled me when I was a kid.
And also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dorkage is made of COOLNESS AND AWESOME since she traded a bunch of Japan-event-only legendary Pokemon to me, along with some master balls to catch other legendaries in Platinum! :D So now I just need to go capture Palika and Dialga and I'll have all the Platinum legendaries. \o/ But THAAANK YOU dorkage!
It seems like a bunch of the flist is in need of hugs lately. D: So, I drew a kitty and a puppy.
This puppy and kitty is for you, flist!
Drawing: Still bunch more LG pages.

Anyway, it's funny, because I remember enjoying Bedknobs and Broomsticks (although I also really loved He-Man, so my younger self maybe didn't have great taste). Robin Hood holds up though (despite the reused animation). It's such a great mix of kiddy humor and really smart stuff. There were things I didn't understand until I rewatched it later ("to coin a Norman phrase," etc.) Why does it seem like movies used to be so much less dumbed-down? (Maybe because they were?)
Speaking of, someone made a video of "Prince John, the Phony King of England" using Robin Hood BBC footage. It was AMAZING.

I don't think I ever really enjoyed Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but then again I got Mary Poppins mostly when I was little. ...And yeah, probably because they were.
