Join us as we discuss topics such as:
Not Fieval goes west, broken heart emoji
Not Anastasia
Not The Land Before Time
Not All Dogs Go To Heaven
Fieval was along for the ride, not a move or influencer of the plot
Lost the plot when it abandoned the lost family arc
Fieval’s youngness worked against the character
Could have used a ‘mature beyond their years’ trop
Tonya or Tony would been a better primary protagonist
Tiger was not a real character
Tonya and Tony needed more flushing out
Swept it’s primary analogous storyline under the rug
Cats represent general animosity to immigrants and refugees
Bluth films are musicals, not Disney films
Drew is completely correct and factual, Devon is owned by facts and logic
The musical pieces are represented well throughout the film
Story put up roadblocks on the path created by the musical aspects
How producers avoid girl protagonists because they think boys won’t like them
Gargoyles was a good show, should watch that again
The audience had to work for it because of bad emotional beats of the story
Interesting art choices
Animals were more animated than the humans
Humans painted with the same colours as the background
Chizu and Ghibli art style versus Bluth
Belle was a good movie, should watch that again
Dev is a weeb and Drew is now
Who needs a kitty bracelet when you have a kitty named tiger
…
RIP Ducky
