I just rewatched The Princess and the Frog for the first time in many, many years.
I liked it! I've always liked it!
But, I don't love it. There aren't many things specifically wrong with the movie, but it just doesn't resonate with me the way so many other movies do.
I do like the visuals, and think it's a crying shame that Disney has abandoned hand-drawn animation. I like the pretty dresses!
I like many of the characters. I think Dr. Facilier is a great villain. I think Lottie is just great. Tiana and Naveen are just fine.
I think the biggest thing I don't like is Raymond. His face and all the other firefly faces just don't sit right with me. I think it's a shame that he was such a major part of the movie.
I'm also not the biggest fan of jazz. It's alright, but it really isn't for me.

Rose had always told herself that she was a bad archer, and couldn't hit a target at ten paces. Perhaps this is the confidence boost she always needed?
First off, I want to say that I had to exhaust so many options just to watch this movie. It streams on Apple TV, but only in Australia. I checked all the 🏴☠️ sites, and it seems that nobody cares about uploading an obscure Australian animated feature. I wanted to watch it in HD, but there are no Blu-Ray releases. In the end, I had to buy a DVD copy on eBay, and oof, I forgot just how low-res DVD can be when played on a 4K display. But in order to watch it at all, I first had to rip the DVD, because region locking is still somehow a thing in the year 2025.
But after buying it online, getting it shipped to the USA two weeks later, ripping it, and re-encoding it into a format my TV's USB drive agrees with, I finally was able to watch this movie!
And it was... Fine? Decent? Alright? Pretty good at parts? There were certainly some parts of the movie that resonated with me, and many scenes that rubbed me the wrong way. A lot of the scenes just showing the family of kangaroos were far and away the best parts of the film. Seeing an eccentric mother and father with their energetic children living a life full of love and joy was so good, I wish the entire movie could have been about that.
Then there was the main conflict in the movie, which basically wanted to be the Anti-Chickenhare. The general message that the movie wanted to get across is that Western archeologists should stop stealing artifacts from the indigenous peoples in Australia. That's a message I can get behind. But the way that the movie went about conveying that message fell completely flat for me. From the completely unsympathetic one-note villain to the baffling way that the movie introduced the peoples of the Lost Island, it really felt like the movie was abandoning the excellent family story so that it could start telling a much less appealing story with a message.
But you can bet that I'll be making a Complete Animation of Kara! Red is a lucky guy!
I just watched The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
Mixed bag, with a lot of scenes that fell flat, but surprisingly, the high points of the movie struck a chord with me. Marina, the villain, ended up being much more appealing than ever could have thought. And her sidekick and eels were easily some of my favorite parts of the movie.
I enjoyed my time with the movie, but I don't think I would go so far as to recommend it to anyone.

Syrene spends the morning writing in the log. She doesn't know it, but her log will be studied by scholars and historians for generations to come!

I don't want this to be a story where the girls just spend all their time talking about boys. But this episode is one of the few exceptions!
