Enjoying a "stinker"...

[Tenshi no Ai]

Don Bluth films DO rock^^ I mean, they were some of the first videos I saw and owned as a toddler. I've really been meaning to rewatch An American Tail over, too. Been... many years! When I rewatched ADGTH for the first time since I was little and didn't understand alot of the concepts, I realized how quite mature of a cartoon it really was. And, the bad concept of it too that "All dogs go to heaven, because unlike people, dogs are born loyal and kind". I was just like nodding and going "mmmhmmm....". But that's beside the point^^ Still a great movie. And just like in the Don Bluth movies with (the ORIGINAL) Land Before Time and so forth. I even enjoyed that Rockadoodle one, and wish I could rewatch it one day, but I sold it years ago :/ Just you know, wanted some nostalgia^^

As for Secret of NIMH, I read the book but only seen part of the movie, although I did see the sequel a while ago. An American Tail's sequel was definately a gooder (the first sequel, that is^^ Haven't even seen the other two).

Speaking of "dark movies", I have been slightly disturbed by some cartoons. Saw the last half of the Watership Down movie and I was like "0_0..." Looked into a movie based on a book by the same author called "The Plague Dogs" which looks equally, if not, MORE disturbing :/ Like oy, they are NOT for kids! Heck, don't even think I'd want to watch it after viewing screenshots >_<

...I'm done my ramble of the day^^

The movies I would rather watch more than anything else are B horror and comedy movies, so no. I enjoy a good "stinker" and it doesn't bother me that I do. They're the best kind of movie out there.

I saw part of Watership Down on TV once. Some scenes made it look like the animators were all on acid trips or something. XD It was pretty bizarre, but I wouldn't think a kid would be interested in a political satire anyway. XD Still, I'd like to see it in its entirety one day, when I have time/when it comes on TV again. XD

Or, I could just read the book, and skip the trippy animation. XD

All Dogs Go to Heaven: for some reason critics HATE this movie! "Too dark" or "not funny" come on! So it's not Winnie the Pooh. Great characters and animation.

Roger Ebert liked it. Gave it three out of four stars.

And I haven't seen Secret of NIMH...*makes seeing all Don Bluth films a lifetime goal*

I think Secret of NIMH is his best film (though it is flawed). It also has some very creepy, scary imagery in it. I should get it on DVD.

stay away from the sequel.

Which one? NIHM or All Dogs...? XD

I was just disturbed by the violence brought on in such a cartoon :/ Anime violence is one thing, but for a cartoon like that, found in the kids/family section of most video rentals, it was sort of creepy :/

Sometimes, I'd probably rent a Disney sequel, just to see how the-brain-child-that-should-never-be turned out. Take Cinderella 3 and Bambi 2; they just seem so bad that you have to watch it, for laughs.

I thought Lady and the Tramp 2 crushed the original.

That would be because Scamp is my favorite character in the Lady and the Tramp franchise and his role in the original is well....small.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yes, I know both Ebert and Roeper listed it among the 10 worst films that year, that it butchered its own source material, that the rest of my family doesn't like it, that it eventually succumbed to standard villain tactics (revealing the evil plan and all that), that Tom Sawyer was an unneeded character, and could easily have been a much, much better film.

But at the end of the day, it had a nifty concept, and I was entertained, and sometimes that's all I ask.

Wow. I can't help but smile at the naiveté with which some of ya'll are discussing "stinkers." I'm not to knock anyone here, of course; but as a person who enjoys watching unspeakable Z-movie heaps like Manos: The Hands of Fate, Monster A Go-Go, and Plan 9 from Outer Space, I happen to think that Titan AE was greeted like Gone With The Wind .

"Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death"!!!

I loved Snakes On a Plane. I'm wearing the shirt right now.

Update on Cinderella 3:

We rented the movie for my baby sister. It is VERY bad. Me and my other sister had fun tearing it apart MST3K style. Best quote in the movie: "The talking mice told me that I'm under a spell!" by the Prince or something like that.
