Apologies for the lame title of the post (Monday morning, etc, etc.). Anyway, here are two films I watched at the weekend. I have thoughts on both which I will share later on in the week. In the meantime, have you seen them? What do you think? Were they any good? Are they just rip-offs of the Disney style or do they stand on their own?
No 1. Anastasia
Via: The Internet Movie Poster Awards
No. 2 The Swan Princess
Anastasia is Don Bluth, so it’s not 100% fair to call it a Disney rip-off. It’s a sincere attempt in the filmmaker’s “own voice”. It just happens that the voice really, really wants to sound “Cinderella”.
Richard Rich movies are more like Don Bluth rip-offs than anything else.
“Daaaaancing bears, paaainted wiiings, these are thiiings I rememberrrrr, and the song, someone siiings, once upon a decemberrrr…”
I remember really enjoying Anastasia. Watched it with my sisters, we sang the songs for months to come. I remember it being haunting but beautiful.
Thanks for the comments guys.
I was actually quite surprised by both films for different reasons, hence my reason requesting other’s thoughts 🙂
