I just died. Truly and honestly. Dead.
I watched Pinocchio the other day, I must be a zombie.

Pinocchio:
"But upon putting it in the player today, found out that the Prince of Egypt was actually on it. The cover and holder showed Pinocchio. This was a very sad mistake by Buena Vista Home Entertainment."
"I've always hated this movie, not due to it's "violent and disturbing content" but because of it's bad acting and pure stupidity."
"Explain to me why Pinoccio suddenly drowns at the end of the movie when earlier on the was walking at the botton of the ocean talking to the fish without any indication that he needs air to live in the first place?! It was just plain stupid, a move to make the viewers feel bad for the little hero, when his death makes no sense!"
"Pinocchio, yes.. one of Disney's better films before the organization went bad."
"All in all, Pinocchio is only of interest to VERY young children. Otherwise, do not waste your money. If you want a good family film, rent Amblimation's 'Balto' instead."
"I hate the goldfish, however!"
"With all of it's fluff and happy themes, how can you show this to our children when there is so much suffering in the world? I think its grossly unfair to the children of other countries who are dying of starvation or war for our own children to enjoy something so blatently moralizing. I believe that there are some religious undertones in the story as well that should have been kept in check. Please, for our children's sake and future, avoid this harmful film."
"DO NOT SEE IT!! YOU WILL DIE!!"
"I think that if you wanted to watch something educational, watch some presidential speech.. or rugrats.. none of these new age cartoons or old age cartoons such as this. "
"If I could put a penny on every stupid line said in this movie, I would be richer than mr.gates."

Lady and the Tramp:
"It is great if you are Korean. Too bad my 3 year old grandaughters are not. What a dissappointment!!!! Now I have to try to return it."
There was only one, but I had to post it.

What does being Korean have anything to do with Lay and the Tramp?!
...and where are you finding these?
Dumbo:
"My two year old was frightened by the darkness and mean-spirited behavior of every character in this movie."
"Although the theme of the movie follows closely with other Disney flims (an outcast who "wins" in the end), the cruelty suffered by Dumbo is not."
"It was a very dark, depressing movie."
"Dumbo is really sad and depressing."
"I don't care if it was made 200 years ago!"
"Not to mention, the taunting, scary pink elephants, fire, drunkeness....Disgusting! Oh, and if your mom helps you through it, they lock her up. Nice messages for the little people (NOT!)"
"I purchased this for 2 children based off of reviews only to get cringe-filled reports from my girlfriends. As soon as my friends sat down to watch the movie with their children they knew that I hadn't actually watched Dumbo before."
"i know this movie is a "classic"... but come on! this is one horrible movie for this day and age. i'm refusing to let my son watch this anymore!
#1- those mean, horrible elephants who pick on baby dumbo... because of a deformatity (?sp)! would you do that to someone you first meet who may have something wrong with him. and to snub the mother...!...
#2- there is no way on this earth that they would let kids touch an elephant! let along grab it and pick on it. of course the mother elephant gets mad... WOULDN'T YOU if it was your child!
#3- taking away the mother from her child! how dare they! and for so long!
#4- showing the dumbo drunk! pink elephants! come on! do you really want your child to ask you about that?
#5- those rude, obnoxious(?sp) clowns!
#6- portraying the crows as "blacks" just because they are black. shamfull!"
"disney movies are to show our kids a fun time about sorta real life things to other creatures! this is one movie that disney should be ashamed of!"
"i can't believe all the other reviewers gave it 5 stars, just 'cause it's an old disney movie."

Mary Poppins:
"Disney's team ruined Mary Poppins' character."
"It was bad enough to turn it into a musical--the "real" Mary Poppins never sang--but adding cartoons??"
"this is one of Disney's worst movies ever."
"R.I.P. "Mary Poppins" (or Rip Her To Shreds)"
"Contrary to undoubtedly popular belief, this film is neither a cheery confection nor a harmless celebration of the imagination. In fact, "Mary Poppins" projects a truly deadly sense of life, sending a horrible message to children and adults alike that the mind doesn't matter and that life-affirming values based in and on reality don't matter; indeed, and in short, that you can have any cake you want and eat it, too. Its presentation of mindless, effortless wish-fulfillment is an artistic and moral crime."
"a derelict, pigeon-feeding bag lady (of all the inspiring examples available to choose from in the human pantheon) who is the "worthy" subject of a truly beautifully sung song"
"The "CHIM CHIMITY" song was awful and so where were the other songs. If Disney dosent get their act together they will fall and DreamWorks will rise."
"How could the academy give the award for the best actress in a leading role to julie andrews,instead of giving it to AUDREY HEPBURN?Only because Audrey didn''t really perform the songs of My fair lady?Well everyone should know that Audrey had worked very hard on her voice.She was told only very late and that she would have been dubbed replaced.Well sometimes the wicked witches win.Perhaps Mary Poppins put a magic pill in the urns of the jurors."

Aristocats:
"There wasn't much of a plot except that the richer cats were hanging out with the poorer cats and seemed to get along. The bad guys were bumbling and predictable. Not much of a memorable film."
"Perhaps the weakest animated Disney film in history with a storyline to match The Aristocats is sure to put you to sleep. Disney rips off from its earlier film, not just from a story point of view but the musical score is uplifted from previous Disney films."
"Altogether The Aristocats feels like microwaved Disney!"
"At the point this film was made (early '70's) the animation staff had become so enamoured by the sterling quality of their own drawings that they forgot that maybe they should tell a story. This film has a lot of plot, but not a lot of story--and while the voices add a certain amount of bounce to the proceedings, they aren't given a whole lot to do other than mug to the mike. As Disney goes, it's right down there in the bottom of the barrel with Black Cauldron and Pocahontas."
"But the story is, in my opinion, a rip-off of "Lady and the Tramp" and "101 Dalmations". The songs are really weak too, and the animation isn't all that great. If you wanna see a great, cute movie about animals, I recommend: "The Lion King", "Bambi", and "Lady and the Tramp". Don't waste your money on this. Sorry Disney."
"Whoever approved the release of this film in 1970 was obviously still suffering the effects of a rotten acid trip."
^ Excuse me? That person was Walt.
"This movie was boring and was made more for people whom love cats. The people whom would enjoy this movie are people who love a lot of singing and a whole lot of cats."

Princess and the Frog:
"Relax! The story matters way more than the texture of Tiana's hair!"
"Poor choice of fairy tale. The princess and the frog is literally a two-sentence long story! The producers were forced to add that dumb twist about the spell not working - sorry excuse for a storyline!"
"It's just that when race gets tangled into the mix (we all know Walt Disney was an unashamed racist) everyone gets uncomfortable."
"Seriously, this right up there with Pinocchio and the middle of Dumbo for awfulness for kids. Why Disney would EVER think it was ok to have demons, voodoo and essentially the devil all in the same movie is beyond me. That witch doctor was beyond creepy and if they wanted him to be the villain in the movie, they REALLY should have lightened up and not made him so scary, creepy and basically seeming as if he's coming from the depths of hell."
"Tianna should have ended up with a really caring guy, not this vain guy. That is not the Disney I know."
"The movie has many positive messages such as showing a traditional hard working family who instills values such as not to allow greed and the seduction of success to cause you to loose sight of what really matters in life. HOWEVER, a large element of the film shows voodoo practices of a very scary witch doctor and also a "good witch godmother" who "saves the day". All I have to say is this movie, although it has some good messages, is overall DARK...VERY DARK for young ones to try to comprehend and not be completely scared of! I understand that the movie is set in New Orleans and that is part of the "culture/history" there, but Disney did not have to highlight the voodoo to such an extreme as to make the movie totally scarey for children! Definitely too many adult themes to be just a G rating and hard to see the positives out weighing so many inappropriate negatives!"
"My girl wanted to watch it but it's going in the trash before Disney can brainwash her."
"Everything moves too fast, with too much "flash the audience with nonstop action so that they don't realize what a crummy piece of junk this really is.""
"Supposedly, this cartoon is made by the same guy who made Aladdin. Well, I guess Phantom Menace is also made by the same guy who came up with Star Wars. Can't expect them to keep coming up with miracles."
"The demons that the Voodoo doctor calls forth from the "other side" would give any child nightmares. I would not recommend this movie for any age group."
By the way, this is only from the first page. OUT OF 4!

Mulan:
"Mulon"
"Can Disney make up their minds about their own lies?!"
"Please tell Walt Disney that you do not like to have your intelligence insulted."
"I did not think they could make a worse animated film than Hercules. The animation was horrible, the dragon took away from the story, the ending was stupid and cheap, and it was incredibly boring. I suppose a two year old would find it enjoyable. Maybe."
"This could have been so good ... and it's nothing at all. I gave up on it after thirty minutes, tired of the stereotyping (Mulan at the camp and the whole Be a Man song), the horrible attempts at comedy (Eddie Murphy should not have been in this movie), and the lackluster score. Reflection was an all-right song, but not memorable nor something I want to hear again."
"Ive seen better cartoons from the WB network."
"Mulan is not pretty enough!"
"How the hell did a little green dragon suddenly appear and become her guide? When the Mongol hoards came at China, why were they four times the size of the normal guys and why could they jump off cliffs and not get hurt? And then when, miraculously, all the Mongol hoards died except for 12 people, how did those people suddenly get to Beijing within 5 days without any horses? And how did 12 Mongols defeat the entire captain of the guard for the Emperor, and take him hostage? And for the finale, how did a little Chinese girl take out Genghis Khan with a staff when he had a sword and was seven times her size?"
"Eddie, we know your drug addiction is using up a lot of your money, but that is no excuse to sell your voice to a shotty movie like this! Disney, your ideas are stale, your productions have gone down the drain, and soon, your park just might fall down...be warned!"
"I'll be forming an anti-Disney strike. See you soon."
"mmmmuuuullllaaaannnn ssssuuuucccckkkkssss!!!!"

The Fox and the Hound:
"the truth is, Diseny took a title and a few names from the original book and tore out the rest of the story to make a cute and cudley tale."
"The book may not be the best book in the world, but it is so real and makes a reader so aware of what humans do to animals."
"This is NOT a movie for young kids, despite the cutesy cover art. My son's 5 and the opening scene is the mother fox getting shot. Ok, let's give it a chance, we thought. Then Amos is shooting everything in sight with his gun."
"My son gets angered by something that's happening while watching the movie, he stands up and says "I'm gonna get a gun!" We almost died hearing that. He connected anger with a gun."
"I finally saw this movie for the first time. Given that it's a Disney movie, a children's movie, and the art on the case is of a cuddly puppy and a fuzzy fox kit, I expected this to be a sweet movie about the value of friendship."
"My niece was frightened many years ago when she saw The Rescuers in the theater. I can't imagine the nightmares she would have had after watching this! *I* was upset, and I've been an adult for longer than I care to remember -- I can't imagine letting a child view this."
"We only see them play a few times, and the next time they see each other, Copper develops a vicious hatred for Tod based on something that Tod didn't even do. Some friend. And how random was the subplot about the birds going after the caterpillar? Not up to Disney's reputation, that's for sure."
"I bought this movie because I was trying to find movies appropriate for "movie night" with my three year old. I read the reviews that say what a great kids' movie this is....boy was I surprised when the mother is KILLED in the opening scene! As we watched the movie, my daughter's dad and I could not believe that it was scene after scene of threats to the fox, who is a loveable character. Gun-toting Amos is over the top...the bear is unnecessarily scary....we found very little of it redeeming (the last scene where Copper stops Amos from killing Tod). I did like that the widow stands her ground with grumpy mean Amos. We also felt that the romantic overtones between the two foxes was completely unnecessary for this age group. DO we need to introduce physical attraction as the primary reason for interest between the sexes? VERY disappointed and will be giving this movie away."
"All I was hearing was how the kind and caring old woman next door to this angry old man was made out to be a "muddle headed female" said through out the movie and how it's okay to break the law and any cost. One example is how this old man is firing his shot gun at this kind old woman in hope to hit her fox for something he never did, after that he goes to a wildlife game preserve and sets traps for this poor fox and sets fires and tries to kill whatever gets in his way. When he finally is injured and tired of fighting and has to admit this fox actually saved his life (he should have been eaten by the bear!) He then goes home and the kind old woman has to nurse his wounds wail taking verbal abuse from him. "Remember only you can prevent forest fires!"
"After watching this movie, my sons turned every toy they touched into a shotgun. In this movie the human characters point guns at other humans, mistreat the animals, and use degrading language. My husband is a hunter and we have always taught our children that a gun is not a toy and that you NEVER point it at a person. This movie just destroyed all that teaching. I also am disappointed with some of the language used in this movie."
"At this my toddler jumped up and began hitting the table and TV screen."
I have to go for a while, I'll be back later.
I don't know what movie to do next. Any suggestions?
