I missed the last half due to falling asleep but these Disney renaissance animated musical films are like catnip to me. Would like to rewatch them all.

The Dark Knight 2008
Practically a perfect film - watched on the flight from london to Chicago - although a fell asleep for the final act. What really shone through this time, and its a theme I’m still getting to grips with despite my umpteenth watch, is the focus on Harvey Dent as this kind of false white knight in response to terrorism, and how the film effectively justifies dictatorships and philosopher kings in times of crisis. On reflection joker and batman also reflect these styles of leadership. Jim Gordon does not. A post 9/11 film indeed. An excellent film indeed.
