It was just recently that I came home from DisneyWorld and decided to review The Princess & The Frog in the wake of my trip. Tiana and her story seemed to be everywhere down there, and I realized I would simply have to check that movie out for the first time when I got home. Already being in a Disney kind of mood, it wasn’t … Continue reading Lilo & Stitch (2002) Review
It’s been less than a week since I returned from DisneyWorld. It was a great vacation, and easily the best of the three times in my life I have visited the theme park. Every trip has its ups and downs, but this was overall a fantastic voyage away from home for a week, and I’d definitely recommend visiting The Happiest Place On Earth if you … Continue reading The Princess & The Frog Review
No matter how many movies I watch for the very first time ever in my life–including movies that it feels like everyone on Earth has watched but me–there are always so many more to get through! Add in to that that I am THE Comic Book Movie Guy! I have been reading comics my entire life, and I’ve long been fascinated with Hollywood’s ability to … Continue reading The Incredibles 1 And 2 Review!

(Spoiler: The salamander isn’t in it for very long! Buy a toy of it anyways!) FROZEN II Written by: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee & Mark E. Smith Short Review: OMG it’s AMAAAAAZZINNGGGGGGGGGGGGG everyone go see itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!! Longer Review: Disney Sequels stopped being a thing during John Lasseter’s run as Chief Creative Officer, but with the runaway success they were having with their New Renaissance, it was … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Frozen 2
ENCHANTED (2007):Written by: Bill Kelly & Ron Howard (yes, that one)-This one’s a bit funny, in that it’s a cutesy parody of Princess Movies… that basically also plays them straight, to the point where it actually revolutionized and restarted the entire Disney Princess genre! Some of the gags are pretty good, and there’s some WONDERFUL over-acting from Jason Marsden & Susan Sarandon (who is looking way … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Enchanted
And now it’s a trifecta of movies I’ve never seen and tooooooooootally don’t wanna! This is a time in which Disney’s animation was suffering horribly, and Pixar was dominating them and embarrassing the Mouse. HOME ON THE RANGE (2004):Written by: Will Finn, John Sanford, Michael LaBash, Sam Levine, Mark Kennedy & Robert Lence -One of the most forgotten Disney Canon films of all time, this one … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Disney’s Era of Garbage
BROTHER BEAR (2003):Written by: Tab Murphy, Lorne Cameron, David Hoselton, Steve Bencich & Ron J. Friedman -I figured “what the hell?” and rented this one- it’s one of the latter-day Disney films, and didn’t do to well or get very well-received, but it’s… okay. Ish. It basically has some cool set pieces and one VERY awesome transformation sequence that reminds you how mind-blowing this studio is, but … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Brother Bear
TREASURE PLANET (2002):Written by: Ron Clements, John Musker, Rob Edwards, Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio The backstory to the making of this movie is more interesting to me than the actual film itself, which is totally forgettable. Clements & Musker, two A-level directors responsible for The Little Mermaid, basically begged the studio for 12 years to make this, being rejected every time. Again and again, they were … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Treasure Planet
ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001):Written by: Tab Murphy, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Joss Whedon, Bryce Zabel & Jackie Zabel -This is an interesting one. It comes on the tail end of the Renaissance (ie. well after it ended, but only by a couple years), so the hype was less extreme, the expectations were lowered, and the money was gonna be less. Even so, they did some … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Atlantis- The Lost Empire
THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (2000):Written by: David Reynolds, Chris Reynolds & Mark Dindal This one had a fabulously-awful production process, with a Prince and the Pauper-themed story being written by one guy, and a comedy film being written by another. When the first, also the director of The Lion King, quit over being forced to shorten his timeline, things looked to be a disaster. Instead, they completely re-did … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Emperor’s New Groove
It’s time for more Disney reviews! Unfortunately, these are all shows I haven’t seen so this is just “Jab Reads Wikipedia”, lol. You might saw “a proper reviewer would just watch these, since they have Disney+ and could just click on them” but I DON’T WANNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. FANTASIA 2000 (2000):Written by: N/A -A largely forgotten part of the canon, it was released the same year as Dinosaur, and … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Fantasia 2000 & Dinosaur
TARZAN (1999) Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs (novel), Tab Murphy, Bob Tzudiker & Noni White Tarzan has a fair bit in common with Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in that it’s one of those stories based off of a world-famous work of fiction in and of itself and not just some fairy tale- the Disney version is therefore NOT the most-famous, most-iconic version of said thing. For … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Tarzan
