    The Black Cauldron - The Film and the DVD **Warning Complete Story Spoilers**

    "* Piano Concerto No 2 - Great segment, but again, Shostakovich was not imagining The Steadfast Tin Soldier." That's my least favorite segment of F2K -- the music is made up of sharp staccato piano beats, and the animation doesn't reflect the nature of the music at all. One of the animators -...

    The Black Cauldron - The Film and the DVD **Warning Complete Story Spoilers**

    The Brer Rabbit segment from the "Alice in Wonderland" disc just reminds me of how much at the top of their game the old Disney animators were. I know people will disagree with me, but nothing that Disney has done post 50's comes close to the work in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I certainly don't...

    But you *can* watch Song of the South. It is available as an import from myriad websites. I've had the Japanese import of Song of the South since 1992! Just my own personal feelings about SOTS, Edwin - and everybody else - speaking for myself only, I think Song of the South is a pretty weak...

    The Black Cauldron - The Film and the DVD **Warning Complete Story Spoilers**

    I figured the review would get lost in that thread, especially with new Disney/Comcast/Pixar news surfacing on almost a daily basis, so I just made a thread out of it over here, since the wide-screen DVD is the only way to watch that movie. Too bad it doesn't have a widescreen enhancement -...

    The Black Cauldron - The Film and the DVD **Warning Complete Story Spoilers**

    In my personal opinion, at the root of every bad movie is a bad screenplay. Before we can jump into an anlaysis into the wisdom of making Cauldron, I think it's fair to first judge the movie itself. Fantasia was probably an unwise business decision, too, but Fantasia turned out to be a glorious...
