Rango is awesome and all, but that's not appropriate for a toddler tbqh. It's not colorful, for one thing, and the photorealism is off-putting to a young child still learning about the world around them. Also Jake is too intense, holy hell.
The G and PG rating have continuously shrunk year over year as the PG-13 rating has grown by leaps and bounds. And besides that the movie doesn't show it happen and besides that one thing there's nothing else worth even a PG rating in it. Plus, it's a film from the forties that revolves around animals, animals dying was just the appropriate way to teach children about death and natural realities back in those days.
And it's also a movie from the Before Times, when it was okay to use animals to teach children about death and natural realities. Back in the Before Times, prior to the 1990s.
Sort of like Old Yeller. Also rated G. Still traumatic as fuck, more upsetting than a human getting killed.
You'll hear no disagreement from me on that, and I think that a lot of it just plain comes down to how insulated our children are from the realities of the world these days not just in media but life in general.
Its definitely a movie for 9-12 year olds. The casual use of firearms, adult humor and some gritty mature moments might scare little kids.
I love Don but God damn I would have hated some of his movies as a kid.
There's also a lot of "hell" and "damn" and not in the biblical way in that film. Definitely a movie for kids in the double digits, but a legitimately amazing western, easily top five for westerns that have come out in the past twenty years.
Don Bluth movies are movies for nerdy kids, the kind of kids who can sit still and pay attention, honestly I'd say that they're movies more for kids in that 12 and up age range just due to the fact that they tend to be slower and more epic in scope and feel than most of Disney's offerings.
Figure after that entire debacle with that Honey extension, these retards would've figured out that nothing is ever really free and somebody's paying the toll somewhere in some fashion.
Here we go again, another creative's disguised fetish
I mean "faux nice guys" are a thing, but it also could be a "decline in viewership" / money problem as well seeing how the Storytime category as a whole has been falling out of favor
My guess on this situation is that he probably lost money doing his show Oddballs for Netflix
Secret of NIMH was fairly colorful, and it was probably his best film due to it being based on a book. I'd argue that it was even better than the book because it had a better climax and more filled out characters. I'll never understand how the man who made a masterpiece like Secret of NIMH went on to produce ersatz-Disney kiddie trash like Thumbelina. Maybe he thought it would make more money. I sort of consider Don Bluth to be the anti-Richard Williams. Instead of striving to create a singular vision to showcase his talents and doing commercial work to pay the bills like Williams did, Bluth just plain sold out. I would have loved to have seen Bluth tackle something like A Wrinkle in Time or James and the Giant Peach.
He might've been the only one to get it, for sure.
Either the characters are all based on his likeness, or he has gone out of his way to become his characters.
I mean he's been playing the same nerd character since grease in 1977 so i think its a mix of both.
They're french, most of their movies are considered the bottom of the barrel, the type of stuff you'd see at a dollar store, or the 5 dollar movie bin at walmart, i.e crackhouse kids movies (see movies like sing 1 & 2, hop, any of their dr seuss adaptions for examples) People don't like the minions because they can be annoying and it halts the plots of the despicable me movies. They're more reasons but those are the two I know of.
