The World’s Greatest Athlete (1973)
Oct 19, 2008Disney Comedy/Jungle Boy Super-Athlete
A Disney live-action comedy that puts a Tarzan character on the athletics field for some inspired nonsense
Roscoe Lee Browne
Oliver & Company (1988)
Aug 5, 2002Disney Animation/Talking Animals
One of the more forgettable Disney animated film of the 1970s/80s lull, this draws heavily on Lady and the Tramp for a talking animals retelling of Oliver Twist
Moon 44 (1990)
Jan 7, 2000Interstellar Prison
Early Roland Emmerich film with Michael Paré investigating pirates targeting a mining moon. As usual with Emmerich, the focus is on action while neglecting the plausibility of the scenario
Babe (1995)
Sep 16, 2005Talking Animals
Runaway hit produced by George Miller of Mad Max fame that conducts what in any other terms would be an animated talking animals film in live-action with CGI and animatronics. The results are utterly charming.
Forest Warrior (1996)
Jan 16, 2005Environmental Ghost Warrior
Near laughable film in which Chuck Norris is cast as the guardian spirit of a forest preaching eco-friendly attitudes to kids and inspiring them to stand up against loggers
Babe: Pig in the City (1998)
Apr 3, 2001Talking Animals
For this sequel to the hit talking pig film, producer George Miller of Mad Max films fame steps into the director's chair. However, the cuteness of the original promptly becomes buried under careening slapstick
Treasure Planet (2002)
Dec 24, 2002Disney Animation/Treasure Island in Outer Space
Disney animated film that proved a flop, this lazily remakes Treasure Island set in space. The result is bad science-fiction with sailing ships in space, Ben Gumm as a malfunctioning robot and so on
