The third of the Package Films in the Disney Animated Canon, and personally one of the best. Seeing as there are ten shorts in this one, please indulge me as I rate them on sort of a mini-grading system for each short, 10 points maximum for each. "Martins and the Coys" - Based off the … Continue reading Disney’s “Make Mine Music” (1946) Review

No better classic, amazing trio of characters has ever been assembled in such a weird film as this. I loved these guys when I was younger and I remember this film for having such catchy music and great visuals... Was young me right? PLOT - Donald Duck (Clarence Nash) receives a gift from his friends … Continue reading Disney’s “The Three Caballeros” (1944) Review

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: The Package Films. From 1942 to 1949, six films were released that contain several vignettes, or short films, packaged together to fulfill a runtime. Strangely enough, this is the shortest film in the Disney Animated Canon to date. PLOT - Disney Animators flew to South America … Continue reading Disney’s “Saludos Amigos” (1942) Review

Actually, that wasn't that sad at all. Huh... Hm... All right then. PLOT - Bambi, the new fawn "Prince of the Forest", learns how to walk, speak, and fall in love as he grows to adulthood. He meets several animal friends, a love interest, a rival, and encounters the most dangerous creature of all: Man. … Continue reading Disney’s “Bambi” (1942) Review

When his mother (Verna Felton) is put in confinement for protecting … Continue reading Disney’s “Dumbo” (1941) Review

... Just visuals and music. No sound effects. No words... That's what this film is about. An inner look into the mind of Walt Disney when he is not hampered by a screenplay or a story. This film is imagination at it's purest, unfiltered. PLOT - There is no story, at least, one that does … Continue reading Disney’s “Fantasia” (1940) Review

The second film in the Disney Animated Canon, made concurrently with Snow White. It's also one of the darkest films of the Disney Animated Canon as well, leaps and bounds ahead of Snow White, being made in two years instead of four. PLOT - When elderly toymaker Geppetto (Christian Rub) wishes upon a star, a … Continue reading Disney’s “Pinocchio” (1940) Review

The first of Disney's Animated Canon, and a film I have watched countless times in preparation for a review. This film has really grown on me. I've noticed so much in each rewatch... Let's dive in... PLOT - The princess Snow White (Adriana Caselotti) falls in love with a prince. Her stepmother, the jealous Evil … Continue reading Disney’s “Snow White” (1937) Review

"We interrupt this program to bring you..." Courage the Cowardly Dog. It’s the show that helped teach me empathy. To live, and to let love as well. To forgive people for their transgressions and mistakes, and that life is not about being perfect. That all who are flawed are not monsters, but people like you … Continue reading JHC Thoughts: Courage the Cowardly Dog

This review will most likely be vague because of spoilers. You can probably see a few twists coming a mile away (some twists were spoiled for me mere minutes into the film by putting two and two together), but let's review this. PLOT – After escaping from her abusive rich boyfriend (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), Celia (Elizabeth … Continue reading “The Invisible Man” Review (NO SPOILERS HERE!)
