Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
TheLittleSongbird Love animation to bits. It was a big part of my life as a child, especially Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera and Tom and Jerry, and still love it as a young adult, whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more now, having more knowledge of the different animation styles and directors and what work went into them. Am most familiar with the 'Mickey Mouse Works' cartoons from them featuring on 'House of Mouse', a show still held a fondness for by me. With the colours and sound effects, that 'Mickey Mouse Works' makes a real effort to retain the spirit of the old/classic/golden age Disney cartoons is to be lauded. The characters' original personalities are admirably stuck true to as well, particularly Goofy and Donald, while also expanding those for a few, Mickey being more interesting here than before. The hyperactive energy present here is one of few things that is different. On the most part, the cartoons range from decent to wonderful. The longer cartoons are among the best, especially 'Mickey Foils the Phantom Blot', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'The Nutcracker'. Also love the cartoons with Mickey, Donald and Goofy together where the character interaction and contrasting personalities work so beautifully.The "House of Genius" cartoons are like Ludwig Von Drake himself, delightfully eccentric. The Donald vs. nephews cartoons, his outings with Humphrey and Chip and Dale's appearances are also successful in maintaining the golden age Disney spirit. Likewise with the Pluto cartoons (a couple having the angel vs devil conflict that is very entertaining, even though Penn Jillette as Devil Pluto goes slightly overboard at times) and Goofy's entertaining and educational "How To" series, very classic era Goofy, with Corey Burton narrating beautifully. The "Maestro Minnie" and "Donald's Dynamite" series are too short but are great fun to watch, the former for classical music and animation fans (a fond reminder of how the two work so well together, Minnie's resourcefulness also shines) and the latter for showing off Donald's cantankerous temperament in very ideal situations. A few effectively creepy cartoons, namely 'Donald's Halloween Scare', 'Organ Donors' and 'Hansel and Gretel'. Also like the Donald vs. Baby Shelby cartoons, apart from the annoying character of Mrs Turtle and Estelle Harris' very overdone voice acting (shouting all her lines and it grates). Donald works very well with Shelby, who is admittedly a one-joke pest and a laugh that makes the skin crawl but has great comic timing and the cartoons are very funny.Not all the cartoons work for me. Some "Extreme Sports" cartoons work better than others, most are very enjoyable but others are too typical. For me apart from the different settings used cleverly and nice ways of getting out of the scrapes, the "Mickey to the Rescue" cartoons are very repetitive and the voice actors have little to do, Jim Cummings for example reduced to a few samey lines and maniacal laughter. In quite a lot of her appearances Daisy is also insufferably annoying, especially when partnered with Minnie and when she travels with Mickey and Minnie as a passenger. She is more subdued with Donald though.While not surprising in outcome, the stories lively and engaging, kept afloat by the character interaction, characters and the atmosphere. The writing is clever and very funny, even with the deliberately corny moment and pun which made me grin rather than groan. Really enjoy the spontaneous flow of the episodes and Donald's spotlight stealing/accidents are priceless.Furthermore, the animation is very colourful, smooth in movement and with some meticulous detail. The music is suitably groovy, jaunty and cleverly used.Voice acting is very good with some of the best voice actors in the business involved. Wayne Allwine, Bill Farmer and Tony Anselmo are more than worthy successors to Walt Disney/James MacDonald, Pinto Colvig and Clarence "Ducky" Nash. The likes of John Cleese, Corey Burton, Maurice LaMarche and Jim Cummings are similarly strong, Eric Idle and Penn Jillette are fun Angel Pluto and Devil Pluto (though the latter at times overdoes it) and Alan Young returning as Scrooge was a masterstroke. Only one voice actor didn't work for me and that was Estelle Harris as Mrs Turtle.Overall, very interesting and enjoyable series. 8/10 Bethany Cox
Tyler Jewell I watched "Pluto's Kittens" and "Minnie Takes Care of Pluto" and that's a wonderful scene I ever saw. I watched "Lend a Paw" since I was the little boy and Pluto's Devil was working with Pluto and that was the jealous plan for. I think Pluto's Devil looks so quite as a the evil conscience. The scene is from Jiminy Cricket song, "Give a Little Whistle" with the violin string, smells the tobacco pipe, bouncing on the whistling saw, and marching with the Swiss people, the cow, and the girl with the bells. Jiminy loved to bounce on the whistling saw from "Give a Little Whistle" from "Pinocchio" movie. In fact, Pluto's Devil is more like red instead. Pluto's Devil is the only a evil conscience. Whoever knew, whoever done.
stu-22 I watch this show every Saturday morning. It's not completely kid-oriented like the WB cartoons, but not as aimed at older kids and adults like the ones on FOX or Comedy Central. "Goofy's Extreme Sports" are always non-stop screwball comedy, and it's great to see Huey, Louie and Dewey terrorize Donald. I guess the only downside is that it's on too late in the morning (11 A.M. for me). Catch it on Saturday mornings on ABC.
Joe Ekaitis The colors are brilliant, the animation is just a tiny notch below feature quality and the current voice actors are perfect.So, what's missing from the mix?Mickey, or more precisely, his personality. The original press releases for "Mickey Mouse Works" promised us a Mickey who's a little bit brash, a touch lazy and bit of a slob, as in the theatrical short "Runaway Brain". Well, for "Mickey Mouse Works" to really work, Mickey needs to show a little more of his darker side. He needs to be more willing to give as good as he gets. He needs to show a little more of his darker side, as he does in a deliciously malicious moment in the short "Symphony Hour" when, as an orchestra conductor, he plants a revolver squarely between Donald Duck's eyes to stop him from walking out of a performance.If the show survives into a second season with new cartoons, can we please see that personality they promised us for Mickey?
