LISTEN TO THE FIRST BATCH OF REVIEWS HERE.
Here's another batch of animated movies! I try to watch about two new ones every week. Let me know if there's any you'd like to hear me review. Preferably good ones, please!
Timestamps:
0:52 - Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
16:28 - Isle of Dogs
29:41 - Garden of Words
38:29 - Your Name
40:50 - Puss in Boots (The first one)
48:06 - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
1:14:32 - Wendell and Wild
Mild spoilers for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish here: I forgot to mention this, but speaking from both a thematic and climactic storytelling standpoint, it is literally insane that Puss and the gang fight Jack AFTER Death. No matter what angle you look at it from, Death should've been the last obstacle.
Comments
I have a weird soft spot for the first Puss In Boots movie. Most of it's pretty average but the ending really hit my heart, honestly. Humpty was always really hilarious, I got oddly attached to this uncanny weirdo and found myself genuinely wanting him to get redeemed in the end. So when he died and turned into a golden egg, I legit cried. It's such a bizarrely good idea that honestly doesn't deserve to be in this movie? Having your villain hunting a treasure only to reveal he used to be part of that treasure trove all along. He didn't know that what really drive him wasn't just greed, but homesickness. Like?? That's so WEIRD?? And thought provoking? Why is it in the last five seconds of a kinda average film? I'd legit love to see a whole movie exploring this plotline alone.

2024-05-14 23:53:32 +0000 UTCSo I have seen Garden of Words semi-twice, the first I was very dumb and in my very bad college days and thought it was deep then watched it a few years ago when netflix got it and 15 minutes in I went "Oh NO" and turned it off

2023-04-06 03:24:21 +0000 UTCI should broaden my media diet, oh "garden of words" is a pretty title probably an anime. I Should Have Finished Listening To The Review Before Putting That In My Search History, oh my god. Besides that, had very much the same opinion that the titular characters of Wendel and Wild should have been cut, they were the weakest characters with the most boring story/arc. Movie is filled with good ideas with no follow through. I also hated the climax to both the demons' daddy issues and the prison fight. Satan learning the importance of family from one piece of art and the fight against the private prison owners being fought with snow-balls ruined what little atmosphere the movie had left. Considering how hard they went the first half of the movie with the parents drowning and Kat being thrown into jail, and her being a hellmaiden I was expecting fire and brinestone to rain on the prison owners, however, what we got was the most awkward, zero tension fight I have seen in a while. This movie did nothing well with all the ideas they had, even if the ideas themselves were good.

2023-03-11 20:02:07 +0000 UTCI don't think the quality of a good movie will be diminished by other movies of higher quality existing. Puss in boots 2 is a good movie and well made, and will continue to be both of those things. EDIT: Although it is disappointing to hear you didn't like it as the collective people do. Which I do think is interesting and I do agree with some of the critiques you made

2023-02-17 19:21:08 +0000 UTCAlso the Jack fight is more of an excuse to destroy the wishing star in a carthatic manner then an actual final boss
Folkloric
2023-02-13 02:43:42 +0000 UTC> it is literally insane that Puss and the gang fight Jack AFTER Death I had the exact same reaction! But it's super awkward because they need the map in the Death fight (so Puss has the option to "run" from Death) but they also DESTROY the map and arena in a satisfying way during the Jack fight. So either Death comes before Jack, which as you said is narratively insane, or they have to rewrite their otherwise strong Jack fight. Which they maybe could've pulled off - have the fight goal be tripping him into the barrier? - but who knows.

2023-01-24 08:42:57 +0000 UTCGlad to finally hear a Wendell and Wild review that isn't positive. I'd heard nothing but people hyping it up before I watched it and was super disappointed after seeing it.

2023-01-24 01:52:53 +0000 UTCI encountered this more in random poetry samples we were given in late High School and College, so none of them really stuck in my brain.

2023-01-18 02:29:53 +0000 UTCY'know what this is a good read and I hope you're right because it makes the movie a lot better.

2023-01-18 01:52:57 +0000 UTCSo just watched Puss in Boots the last wish with a big group of friends. It was good looking, joke landed amongst the group but, I'll agree the plot was pretty standard, my friends ended up raving about how it was amazing and their new favorite movie and claiming they evolved the spiderverse style. I enjoyed it but not super raving about it. And yeah its crazy that Jack was the last fight and not Death. Jack really didn't need to exist after the initial stealing the map scene, guess they needed to get their money's worth on John Mulaney.

2023-01-17 04:23:51 +0000 UTCI gotta say the reason Wendell & Wild are in trouble is dumb. They wanted to improve upon their dad's scare faire, and got caught talking about it. That's it. Like the movie couldve touched on the fact that they were missing all like 100 of their siblings and their dad wanted to keep them close, but they didn't so no credit

2023-01-16 20:43:01 +0000 UTCI feel like "not like other animated films" and "even for a family movie" (where family just means for kids which means animated, so those variations too) when used to talk up an animated movie-is being done at the expense of talking down the medium as a whole. It's got the same connontation imo as describing a person as pretty good at [x], for a [insert minority here] Like even done without any intentional malice is insulting

2023-01-16 19:44:08 +0000 UTCMost of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is like a 6 or 7 for me, but the Death scenes are a 9.

2023-01-16 17:40:35 +0000 UTCWhen you were describing your feelings on garden of words, did you have a specific book in mind that evoke that feeling? I only ask because you evoke this very particular scenario that you kind of make sound like its universal but I've never had to come across. Tales of genji comes to mind for me, but I only know about it cause anime

2023-01-16 16:27:43 +0000 UTCDel Toro is one of those creators where I respect his vision and his dedication to doing something different, but his movies just aren’t my thing.

2023-01-16 16:14:30 +0000 UTCThough I disagree with some of your criticisms of the new Puss in Boots, I'm only gonna contend one point; when Kitty told Puss she also didn't go to the altar, I took that as her lying to try and make him feel better. After all, how would she know he didn't show up, or hold a grudge about it, if she also didn't show up? It makes more sense to me this way, because the alternative is her being flippant at best.

2023-01-16 12:52:43 +0000 UTCJust finished listening.in terms of the puss in boots review, I think you’re cursed with knowledge jello. But hey, someone has to be.

2023-01-16 10:21:18 +0000 UTCSPOILER in Response: I mean, Death is still the last obstacle. He will just come later :). Also, this was Gattos personal fight, not the gangs
