Sleeping Beauty 1959
Viewed in glorious 35mm, as it should be.
Maleficent’s pettiness is nothing short of legendary. A bunch of rich, entitled white people snub her for absolutely no reason, so she does what any self-respecting dark fairy would: crashes their little gathering and lays out her spellussi.

Spider-Man 2 2004

The Rescuers 1977
God Damn, I fucking hate Disney’s Xerox era.
You can literally see the grime and residue on the frames. It's so rough and careless. Walt Disney may have eventually forgiven 101 Dalmatians art director Ken Anderson, but if he’d lived to see The Rescuers, he might have burned the whole studio down.
I love Bianca and Bernard. But outside of their ratussies, there’s nothing of real merit here. Medusa is a one-note villain, Penny’s voice acting feels like pure nepotism…
