While I am unsure if it matches the near perfection that is the first film, I think this one stands up as a classic in animation and musical introduction to little ones. It contains some of my all time favourite shorts, namely the Firebird, Beethoven’s 5th, Rhapsody in blue, and the Pines of Rome. But it does lull in the middle — and I don’t care for Daffy’s ark. Sorry!
Regardless the opening and closing numbers make up for this…
When we talk about movie magic, I instantly think of animation and this film in particular. I still have no idea how the animators created such a masterpiece. Yes it’s flawed (it’s two instances of racial stereotyping, it’s too long by 30 mins, and I don’t care for the dancing hippos) but despite this this film is one of my all time favourites for its surrealist abstract nature that feels like poetry come to life; like fairytales and mythology captured…
Only tiff film i walked out of in 2023. Yikes. This felt like one of the the movie of the week Netflix thrillers and the script felt like it was written by AI. Just awful. The sad thing is there will likely be a #1 film on the netflix or prime charts when it releases and may even get a shit load of views…. anyway I hated it
One of my favourite films of all time! I adore absolutely everything about this film, from the incredible locations, the cast, the fact that it uses tue official languages of the countries, the immersion of this fictional legend, how myths are made, and how our lives effect others around the world— and how art is meant to be loved and cared for.
It may be one of the greatest film scores ever composed, not just for its iconic main theme…
