"Ow you hit my leg! my only leg!"
So I watched The Black Cauldron and The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detectives. Now you must hear my thoughts on them. Tough.
nekokoban's fault)
- I LOVED THE BOOKS. I cannot stress HOW MUCH I love the books. And I know the movie got tons of things wrong. That being said? I still loved it.
- Gurgi. OH GURGI. Definitely the high point. A-All he wanted was his crunchins and munchins, guys. socute.
- Eilowyn is the girl I wished all princesses were like. KICKASS.
- the magic amulet = magic sword. Okay. fine. I can get that.
- ;sdj;djf;sdfjsdf;jsdf;jsdf;sdjf t-the witches were so awesome and so badtouch but that's okay.
- God, the bit when the Cauldron Born were unleashed? I HAD CHILLS.
- someone refresh my memory here. Was Fflewddur really old in the books? That being said, I think it's kinda great that they made him old because you very rarely see old ACTIVE main characters in Disney movies.
- Creeper was amusing.
- The Horned King was creepy.
- Hen Wen is possibly the most awesome pet one can have.
- The lack of Gwydion and Eilwyr (aka angsty bitter Boromir/Faramir clone) is saddening, but I expect they'll show up in a live movie in the near future, so I'm not terribly hung up about it.
- God, the last fifteen minutes. I cried. I cried so HARD. shut up I'm a wuss, especially for Disney
- Wow. Basil is an ass. I didn't expect this!
- Oliva was cuter and I liked her a lot more than I expected.
- Dawson is kinda hilarious.
- RATIGAN. There are no appropriate WORDS to how fabulous that rat was. Because he BLEW MY MIND.
- I kinda like the peg-leg bat.
- okay. OKAY. So I saw the secrets on FS about Ratigan/Basil. And. AND. I get what they're saying. The panel where Ratigan cups Basil's chin and leering in? P-Priceless.
- The clockwork tower scene was beautiful. The animation, the music, the direction, EVERYTHING.
- GODDAMNIT DISNEY THAT'S MY HEART LEAVE IT ALONE a;dhas;dhasd;asd;h;sdkhas;dk
- The last bit with Basil stuttering when Dawson was leaving and he was looking so woebegone. I kinda fell in love with it. O Basil you douche.
