Day 3, Part 2:

Melody Time (1948):



Right when I thought that I wouldn't have to endure another movie like Fantasia, I got proven wrong. After a painstakingly long theme song, we get to our first segment, which is about a young couple on a sled ride in winter time. They eventually go ice skating, and there are two rabbits that are skatin.... wait, what?! In both couples, the man f***s up and the woman storms off. Both females unknowingly walk onto thin ice. The males attempt to save their lovers. It ends up beeing the woodland animals and two horses that save the females, and both couples are reunited.

In the next segment, a bumble tries not to get killed by music. Huh. Sounds like my experience watching this movie. That is basically all that happens. Music is evidently deadly. It should be noted that the music in this segment is extremely catch.

Johnny Appleseed is the next segment. The story of Johnny Appleseed is told in a song..... He just plants apple seeds.... moving on

The next segment is about a happy little boat. He causes a giant ship to crash, and he is exiled. He later redeems himself by saving an ocean liner in a storm.

The following scene, titled "Trees", is a poem about..... trees. That's pretty much all you need to know..... moving on

Now, the next sequence caught me off guard. It's Donald, Joe, and that odd little bird from The Three Caballeros. Donald and Joe seem to be sad about something, so the odd bird starts to cheer them up with a samba....

Kyoryuger comments incoming.

Aaaaand Donald starts hitting on girls again.... Really, Disney? This scene looks more like a deleted scene from The Three Caballeros. And I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
Also, the odd little bird seems intent on killing Donald and Joe.....

The final sequence is another American Folk Tale. This time, it is Pecos Bill. The western guy who was raised by coyotes. Shenanigans ensued...

So... that about covers it for Melody Time. This movie was so boring it made the second Ghost Rider movie seem like a masterpiece compared to this. I give this a 2 out of 10.....

Cinderella (1950):



After eight years of movies that were basically compilations of different animated segments, Disney made a movie that had one story. Cinderella, one of Walt Disney's animated masterpieces.

Basically, the story is about this young girl who is the stepdaughter to a very wicked lady. The family gets an invitation to the ball to dance with the Prince so he can choose a wife. The stepmother, with the help of her equally wicked daughters, makes it to where Cinderella (the young girl) can't go. So, Cinderella's fairy godmother makes it so that Cinderella can go to the ball until midnight. Cinderella dances with the Prince, and the Price decides that he wants to marry her. But it is too late. The clock strikes midnight and Cinderella leaves. Luckily, one of Cinderella's glass slippers falls off and the slipper only fits her feet. The Prince has every lady try on the slipper, but before Cinderella can try it on, the stepmother breaks the glass slipper. It is then revealed that Cinderella has the glass slipper. Cinderella and the Prince get married and live happily ever after.

I am going to say it... I actually enjoy this movie, and, like Bambi, it is one of my Top 10 favorite Disney animated films. The songs are memorable (especially that catchy Bibbity Bobbity Boo song). The only thing that I don't like is the cat. What that cat did at the end of the movie is unforgivable. So you can imagine my happiness when this happens.

i could watch that over and over again. Anyway, this movie is truly one of Walt Disney's greatest masterpieces.

I give this movie a 8.5 out of 10

The reviews of Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan have been postponed. Tomorrow, I will review....... Guardians of the Galaxy, the new movie from Disney/ Marvel. I will pick back up with Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady & The Tramp, and Old Yeller on Saturday.
