Creator (1985)
Oct 27, 2001Cloning and the Meaning of Life
Biochemistry professor Peter O'Toole tries to clone his late wife. A sublime film that has a way over-the-top eccentricity and sparkles with an exuberance of life
David Ogden Stiers
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Jul 7, 2000Disney Animation/Fairy-Tale
The start of the 90s renaissance of Disney animation, a beautifully made adaptation of the fairytale that hearkens back to the Disney Golden Age. The only animated film nominated for an Academy Award Best Picture
Pocahontas (1995)
Nov 8, 2001Disney Animation/Historical Meeting Between English & Native Americans
Disney bases an animated film on the historical character but warps the story considerably. It feels that this is a Disney animated film made more to adhere to Political Correctness than it is a good one
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
May 5, 2003Ugly Teenager/Disney Animation
A Disney animated film that turns Victor Hugo's classic oft-filmed novel about Quasimodo, a misshapen figure of pity, into a slightly ugly teenager who now comes accompanied by talking gargoyles
Justice League of America (1997)
Sep 9, 2011Comic-Book Superheroes
Painfully bad attempt to incarnate the comic-book team as live-action tv pilot where the characters are played for comedy in an attempt to mimic the then success of Friends
Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998)
Dec 31, 1998Disney Animation/Pocahontas Goes to England
One of the better among the cheap video-released sequels to their animated films Disney released during the 1990s/2000s, this actually works better than the original
Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Oct 19, 2002Disney Animation/Malevolent Alien Creature
Likeable Disney animated film about a young misfit Hawaiian girl who befriends an unruly alien creature. This has a good deal of oddball energy and humour that makes it rather appealing
Stitch! The Movie (2003)
Jun 19, 2010Disney Animation Sequel
Cheaply made video-released sequel to Lilo & Stitch, which is only a rehash but does surprisingly reunite all the voice talents
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003)
Oct 27, 2017Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
One of the better films spun off from the 1990s animated Batman tv series, introducing the character of Batwoman (although a different one to the comic-book incarnation).
Hoodwinked! (2005)
Jul 24, 2006Animation/Little Red Riding Hood Deconstructed
Animated film that offers a revisionist take on Little Red Riding Hood. Everything is played in a manic barrage of pop culture gags and level of inanity that is seriously mind damaging
Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil (2011)
May 7, 2011Animation/Fairytale Parody
A wholly unnecessary sequel to Hoodwinked!, this again runs the fairytale characters over with modern quips and pop culture references
