Corpse Run 1,123: Acquired ingredients for meth
Victoria’s and my romp through Disney movies that we either haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a long time continues! This week we took in Oliver and Company and The Great Mouse Detective.
If you ever wanted to see a Disney movie where a dude loads a magazine into a pistol to shoot a child, boy do I have a movie suggestion for you.
I’m starting to get the feeling that Disney was only “good” during the Disney Renaissance. Like, the old old stuff was good in the sense that they were good for their time and were certainly classics, but I feel like outside of a handful of the 90’s movies (plus The Little Mermaid in ’87), a lot of their stuff was pretty mediocre to downright lame.
At some point I guess I’ll need to make a ranking list, but of the Disney movies we’ve recently watched, I’d go with the following:
- Robin Hood
- The Rescuers Down Under
- The Rescuers
- Aristocats
- Oliver and Company
- The Great Mouse Detective
- Lilo and Stitch
- The Black Cauldron
This is subject to change as we have more time to review stuff, but once we get through everything I’ll build out a full “Alex’s Disney Rankings” for everyone since I know it’s a super important thing that certainly everyone cares about.
While I agree that Disney movies in general are vastly overrated, I can think of a few in recent times that were excellent.
Zootopia came out in 2016 and is top tier.
Moana was also 2016 and pretty good.
Tangled in 2010 was also great.
Big Agree…Disney is remembered for their classics but their hit rate feels like sub 25% when you take in the entire catalogue. Oliver, Aristocats, Lady and the Tramp, Mouse Detective, Cauldron, there’s a lot of snoozes or worse, trend chasing.
