Laura D's Opinions on Various Disney Movies 5 - Cinderella

A recurring series that hasn't recurred since 2007 has been revived!

"Laura D's Opinions of Various Disney Movies"

Today? Cinderella!

"Make the dishes, wash the thingys, sumtin sumtin, Cinderelly!"

Now I haven't seen this movie in some time, and before I watched it all I could recall was the Drop Dead Fred quote "No I don't remember what happened with Cinderella. I remember the Ugly Sisters, they were GREAT!"

I really love the look of this movie, everything including Cinders voice is very 1940's (even though it was made in 1950). So it gains points there for me.

But why oh why did they have to make the cat the evil one?? That's too obvious! And it angers me! I'm gonna have to watch Aristocats later to make up for it...

The mice on the other hand, are great. Hilarious even. Watching the scene where they make her the dress makes me think, "hey, maybe that's why Chino is always stealing ribbons....he's making me a dress!" ...I hope anyway....

I also feel like the Ugly Sisters may be related to Olive Oil from Popeye. They're drawn the exact same!

40 minutes into the movie and I'm like

 "WTF? I thought this was the bibbedy bobbedy boo movie, but there's been no bibbedy bobbedy booing! I'm being ripped off!"

42 minutes into the movie, 

"Hmm, still no bibbedy bobbedy boo but there's a fairy Godmother.....wait...MY godmother never made me a dress or gave me a pumpkin! No fair! ...well it's an alright exchange, she made me cardigans and gave me carrot soup."

43 minutes into the movie.

"Hold up. This IS bibbedy bobbedy boo! What the hell am I thinkin of then?! The 3 fairies that were arguing over making the dress pink or blue...what was that? I thought THAT was bibbedy bobbedy boo! Am comfused."

(And yes I DID write COMFUSED. CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I AM)

Best Scene? This one!



Conclusion? It IS the bibbedy bobbedy boo movie.

I liked Cinderella and it's pretty short, only 74 minutes long, which is a plus in my books.


Rating? 7/10

BIBBEDY BOBBEDY BOO!

My Favourite Disney Song

I was gonna do a list of my top 5 Disney songs but I thought screw that, this is all for my favourite one of all.

"Be Prepared!"

As children we used to put this on the stereo while we were dipping our bread in soup because we thought Jeremy Irons was singing "Big Big Bread"

News on Reviews

As some of you know, I haven't done a "Laura D's Opinions on Various Disney Movies" in a while and I am here to announce that I am changing it to "Laura D's Opinions on Various Robin Williams Movies".....for a short time anyway, because I really want to review Hook!


What else? I just played Back to the Future 3 on the Master System. My whole life I haven't been able to get past that first level! I never reach Clara in time. She ALWAYS falls off the cliff!

I'm off now, I'm really in the game playing mood so gonna go play Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Mega Drive. That is a real cool game.....until it gets to the Thriller level and goddamnit I hate it when the zombies drip zombie juice all over you!

Laura D's Opinion's on Various Disney Movies

Here's the deal. I can't actually think of any Disney movies that I remember so well, for a second I thought "I know! Hook!" but then later remembered that it is infact a TriStar movie. Then I thought "I know! Jumanji!" but then also later found out that Jumanji is also a TriStar movie.

In conclusion I may decide to give my opinions on various TriStar movies if I can't think up anymore Disneys.

Laura D's Opinion on Various Disney Movies

Aladdin - At the very start of this movie when the merchant storyteller is riding the camel then stops to try to sell us stuff and tell us the story, I wonder whether or not he is the Genie? Because he is afterall voiced by Robin Williams, he is also in possesion of the lamp and who else would know the whole story?

I was also thinking that you wouldn't get this kind of movie from Disney nowadays because whenever I see a commercial for a Disney movie it always says at the bottom of the screen "contains mild peril", now if you have to warn about that just think of the kind of warnings they would have to give with a movie that in the first 5 minutes you hear "they cut off your ear if they don't like your face" and "I had to slit many throats to get it"!

Aladdin in my opinion has the best songs in a singular Disney movie. "Arabian Nights" - a GREAT song that Leonnie and I like to sing. "Prince Ali" - the whole song and the parade reminds me of Apollo Creed's entrance in Rocky IV, which is a good thing, although it was a little obvious that it was just going to rile up that Russian guy, this now brings me on to my review of Rocky IV......Anyhoo. I also liked the reprise of the Prince Ali song by Jafaar, "So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin!" I watched this movie last night actually with Paul and it got to a certain part and I remember being a child watching it, I got the same urge last night as I did when I was a child....which was to use the fast forward button when it got to "A Whole New World"....and I did.

Another thing I like about this movie is that everyone has a sidekick. Aladdin has Abu. Jafaar has Iago. Jasmine has Raja the tiger. The Genie has the carpet (I think the carpet is an underrated character). Exactly what all this signifies I'm not sure.

Another underrated character is the cave of wonders itself! It's a very scary CGI cave and I like it.

Jafaar is my favourite character which you might have guessed. I think his voice is so cool and seeing another person on tv that is as thin and who's hands are as boney as mine makes me feel good. I have no idea why Jasmine didn't just marry him in the first place. I also loved the way he kept calling Aladdin "Prince A-boo-boo" even though Aladdin corrected him!

I love this movie and give it 9/10. (it may have gotten 10 if only A Whole New World wasn't part of it and if Aladdin just wasn't so selfish and freed the Genie after his second wish, it would've saved a lot of time a trouble)

Sup?

Just on to say that very soon I will be writing a "Laura D's opinions on various Disney movies" about Aladdin. I've just now got my little hands a hold of an Aladdin DVD. I haven't seen this movie in so long so it'll be interesting to see it again.

(To Leonnie) If we have nothing to do on Friday again we will probably watch Aladdin since I remember you saying you haven't seen it in ages either. Also we shall enjoy Arabian Nights! Like Arabian days! More often than not! Are hotter than hot! In a lot of good waaaaaaaays!

Thank you for your attention.

Laura D's Opinions on Various Disney Movies 3

Dumbo - A good movie that only lasts 64 minutes. Storyline - a big eared elephant learns to fly with his ears, that's weird. My favourite character is the little mouse, I don't know about you but I can't resist a person who says "woild" instead of "world".

In my opinion the best part of this movie is by far the weirdest part - when the mouse and Dumbo get all drunk and start hallucinating about pink elephants. I think this song is so good I even have it on my mobile phone and listen to it when I play poker. Okay maybe I don't but I do have it on my computer and listen to it every so often!

I can't think of anything else to say about this movie so onto the rating. This movie gets 7/10 (maybe it would get more if I could remember it better).

Laura D's Opinions on Various Disney Movies 2

The Aristocats - It seems to me this movie was made specifically for ME to watch. It has all the things I think are cool - Jazz, cats, incredibly rich posh people, butlers, crazy lawyers, painting, etc. "Scat cat" was obviously supposed to Louis Armstrong and that just makes it even better!
I like everything about this movie especially the "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat" song because it's true....well for me anyway.
I remember a line from the kitten Marie when she is fighting with her brothers and she says "Ladies don't start fights but they can finish them". I remember saying this to Paul a lot when we were children! Thomas O'Malley and all those swinging cats are the coolest of all the characters.
I give this movie 9/10.

Oh and look! Here's a random photo!

Laura D's Opinions on Various Disney Movies

The Lion King - Very good movie. I like every single character in this movie except for Nala, yes that's right Simba's little annoying friend who grows up then goes finds him and takes him away from Hakuna Matata. What's Hakuna Matata, I hear you say? Well it means no worries! For the rest of your days, etc.
Scar is quite obviously the best one in it. I believe it is not fair how even though his brother was king he was supposed to live in this horrible little dark cave. Scar after many years was waiting to be King! And just because his brother decided to have a cub he now does not ever get to be king. This is very unfair in my eyes and I understand why he killed Mufasa and I am upset that he didn't get that little Simba guy too!
I have much more to say on this but I am going on it seems. This movie gets 8/10. (I would've given it 10/10 if Scar got to be king)

I'll come back later and write more opinions on other Disney movies.
Let me know if you agree with me on any of these.

Photo of me, that's right

I was told my hair was like a lion's mane in that photo, all I could think was "hope he means Scar, he was the coolest of all lions, too bad he didn't get to be king". For some reason out of all the disney movies I always end up liking the bad guy, I can't help it, they're just cooler, all of them except in Aristocats...ofcourse I was rooting for the cats, they played Jazz! Those hep cats were smokin' man. Gotta split!
