Snow White - 70 years and still as good as ever

Advantages: The dwarves, the animals, the imagery and the sense of fun
Disadvantages: A few old fashioned features - particularly some of the songs/singing voices!

...More than seventy years later, Snow White is still available as a testament to how wrong general opinion can be. The Story Like many of the brilliant films that followed it, Snow White was based on a fairy tale – in this case the German fairy tale Schneewittchen, as collected by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. It follows the fortunes of beautiful young princess Snow White, who is driven from her home by the murderous intentions of her jealous step mother ...
...I should first say that Snow White is not entirely what you might expect of a Disney heroine. As someone who grew up with the films of the so-called ‘Disney Renaissance’, and with characters such as Jasmine, Esmeralda and Belle, I found her to be a lot less self reliant and realistic than my favourite ‘princesses’ and so found a lot more interest in the rest of the cast. It may well be a generational difference, but I always thought that Snow White, ...

Was it a crackin film? Wallace & Gromit A Matter of Loaf & Death

Advantages: Funny, good animation, same great characters
Disadvantages: Short and predictable

Wallace and Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death is a 30 minute Wallace and Gromit animation made by Nick Park. This episode was shown on Christmas Day on the BBC. The plot is about Wallace and Gromit being bakers but sadly there is someone who is going about and murdering all the bakers. They have got 12 so far but will they get a baker's dozen? Piella Bakewell is Wallace's love interest this time and there is more to her than meets the eye. The ...
...however is similar to other Wallace and Gromit films which is a bit of a shame considering the amount of time between this and the last Wallace and Gromit episode. I wish though that the film had lasted a little longer at least an hour long as it was still really enjoyable but just was similar and short. However I suppose if I wanted more it probably is a sign that I like it which means it must be quite good. This short film is suitable for everyone ...

Squirrel! Point!

Advantages: Fantastic all round effort
Disadvantages: Nothing

...minutes or so is given up to showing Carl and Ellie as their relationship progresses from childhood through to adulthood and finally old age before Ellie succumbs to age and passes away. Their goal as kids was to travel to South America, following their adventure hero Charles Muntz, to set up home in Paradise Falls. Now sad and alone, Carl is refusing to move out of his house, despite everything around him havign been demolished for a building development. ...
...in Carl making a snap decision: to honour his and Ellie's childhood dream. Attaching helium filled balloons to his house, he sets off in search of adventure..... All this, and still only 15 minutes of the film had passed. Really, this served to be a bit of an introduction to the adventurous and comic nature of the film. I was a bit unsure at first as to how this was going to work, but it sets the scene perfectly for what follows. The various characters ...
