Comment on ‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Review: An Overstuffed Interstellar Sequel by Jeremiah

Jeremiah — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 03:53:21 +0000

It was very pretty and fast-paced. I enjoyed it well enough, much like the first. I was touched by Peach's vulnerability when talking to Mario about wondering where she came from, towards the beginning. I wish there were more moments like that. By the time that the credits begin, that moment feels like it could be from a different film. I also was surprised by and really liked Bowser's inner conflict, and wished there was time in this packed movie to make his shift at the behest of his son (spoiler alert) back to being evil more gradual rather than so abrupt. I was excited when (spoiler) Star Fox appeared and there was some exclamations and applause in the my theater. There wasn't time to do much with him but at least he had a decent-sized role. It is very much a TikTok generation movie, moving fast and continually throwing new locations and action sequences at you, as you noted. I think three and a half stars makes sense, though I'd honestly lean more towards three.

Comment on Animation Addicts Podcast #360: ‘David’ – Gotta Love the Swedes by Harvey

Both the Swan Princess and Anastasia were victims of DIsney rereleases, The Lion King for the former and The Little Mermaid for the latter. I find it interesting that between this and House of David we have two quite high profile adaptations of the same story released in the same window but crafted in utterly different ways.

So freaking glad I watched this now it's on YouTube. Very well deserved five stars. It's so sad till the very end and so very sweet at the same time. What a work of sheer dedication and passion. Planning on listening to your Aaron Blaise interview later today.

Comment on Animation Addicts Podcast #359: Zootopia 2 – Therapy Saves the Day! by Lauren Rodriguez

Hi! I Loved Zootopia 2! I enjoyed it more than the first one. Gary DeSNake is my new favorite character! While Moana 2 is my first favorite recent Disney sequel, Zootopia 2 is my second favorite. I wanna go see it again. Zootopia 2 definitely has heart. I can relate to Gary in that a lot of people in my life have preconceived notions about me and my trauma recovery that aren't true. I'm excited to see it again. Everyone was on their A game voice acting wise in this one. I loved how Gary and Judy bonded and became friends.

What a darn shame!

Comment on ‘Tom and Jerry: The Gene Deitch Collection’ – DVD Review by Patriotic American

A few thoughts:
– Some would argue that the eleven "Road Runners" directed by Rudy Larriva between 1965 and 1966 are worse than the Deitch "T&J's."
– As far as "Dicky Moe," I'll take that one over another cartoon that ostensibly satirized "Moby-Dick" – the pitiful "Dopey Dick, The Pink Whale" starring Woody Woodpecker from 1957, another hack effort from hack director Paul J. Smith at Walter Lantz Productions.

Comment on Animation Addicts Podcast #356: The Boy and the Heron – A Gaggle of Dwarf Hags by Harvey

I saw this dubbed in the cinema when it released in the UK, I remember enjoying it a lot while I watched (obviously the visuals are spectacular), but it was when the credits song (Spinning Globe) played with the lyrics subtitled that I truly felt an emotional connection to the themes of the story. The music overall was wonderful, and I appreciated that that song was saved until I could propperly appreciate it. I recently saw The Wild Robot for the first time and thought it was excellent, but was frustrated by the repeated use of the same song at every notable moment in the story. I really remember feeling that The Boy and The Heron's score always seemed deliberate in that way each moment paired with the music.
