Day 5: Best of the Disney Films

Almost done! ♥

Wreck-It Ralph

*8.5
*A really good message about reflecting one's role in this world. Whether or not you're actually a bad guy, therefore causing kids to eventually look at their own qualities and having an inner desire to be good.
There's also a great theme of friendship and loyalty developed especially between Ralph and Vanellope. And a neat side message that if you have a job, you need to do it, cuz other people are depending on you.
*Perhaps one of the best movies Disney has made. It certainly has it's problems, but you can't argue; it's awesome! So good and so special. The video game theme is what attracted me to it and I'm so glad it was successful in it's exposure. There are some emotional qualities to it that are mixed in with the clever humor and fun plot, as well. It's a great one to watch with the whole fam, cuz there's a lot to enjoy. :)


Prince of Persia

*8.0
*The most important quality in this is the theme of family. There's also the note that you need to be careful with the choices you make. Cuz in reality...at least that we know of. ;)...there really isn't a magic dagger that turns back time.
*This one was utterly fantastic. I had only played bits and pieces of the original game, so I had vague memory of the storyline when the movie came out, which basically, this is a sugarcoated Disney version, who turned it more into a fairytale, but that's fine, cuz they still did a great job! It's an awesome movie with an element I wish we can use on every movie, and well, everything...y'know...turning back time to where none of the bad stuff happened. XDDD But they gave a few really respectful nods to the original game and that was cool. Daston and Tamina were adorable, yo. Their relationship developed rather nicely.
So yeah, really good film, all around!

Beauty & the Beast

*9.0

*Don't judge someone based on their appearance, for a person can be more than what they seem. Beast was externally a selfish, bitter and ugly person, but on the inside, he was hurt, and spiteful for what happened to him and had heroic qualities to him that he just refused to acknowledge. Gaston, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He might have been the most "handsome" man in town and was adored by all those around him, he was really a vain, greedy, envious and cruel individual who lusted for things only to have them as trophies. While he sought out Belle to be a prize to be won, Beast saw her with love and respect and was willing to earn her as opposed to just taking her. That meant looking within himself and try to change to be more worthy of her, which is an important thing to teach to kids. We're not always going to be perfect people. We're gonna have our own separate issues, but as long as they're not too terrible and we really love a person, we have the chance to try and compromise and attempt to be better so we're worthy of the people we care for. And that change winds up not only appealing to the ones we did it for, but to others, as well.

* It's a classic. What can I say? It's a beautiful tale, with magnificent art, voice acting and direction.

They added real action to it, as well, which is something the original story lacked.

Sure, there's a song here and there, but nothing too annoying or unbearable. There's cheese, but the film is so good, you're required to sit through it and just smile. It's a wonderful film, regardless. ♥

God Bless,
