#1 'I got 99 problems but a fish ain't one' (TLM III Reviewed)
Cue Intro
Now this is the story all about how
my life got flipped; turned upside down
and I'd like to take a tide, or maybe three
and tell you how I became the king of the sea.
In West Atlantica, born and raised
On the seashore is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
playing some trident outside the school
When a couple of pirates, they were up to no good
started making trouble in the neighborhood
They got in one little crash, and my wife got dead
Didn't even know I had a crown on my head
I whistled for a whale, and when it came near
the tailfin said fresh and there were dice on the mirror
If anything I can say this whale is rare
but I thought "wrong show, don't swim to Bel-Aire!"
I pulled up to the castle round seven or eight
and I yelled to the mammal 'yo homes, smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom, it's film number three
and that's how I became the king of the sea.

Hahaha. Nice intro there Derek :)
Random events indeed. I suppose you're glad that there are only so many of these movies you can review

Nicely done my friend. I'm glad you were able to summon up the fortitude to watch this movie for us.

Got a suggestion for your next review: Disney's Enchanted. Cartoons come to LIFE in that one. LOL
There is a really good chance that I am seriously fucked up. But don't worry....I like me that way.

Actually I was thinking of taking a slightly different direction and reviewing Ralph Bakshi's 1979 animated version of "The Lord of the Rings."

Amusing review as always Darek. The bel'air at the beginning was priceless. This one didn't seem to gain your ire as badly as those before it.
That being said, I kind of liked Enchanted. It was very heavy on the blatant homages and heavier on the blatant rip-offs. But I still liked how they did the mixture of cartoon life with real life and visa versa.
If I may make a suggestion, Mulan II. That looked particularly atrocious.

It was. If the first one basically bitchslapped history and went off on its own, this one furthers that line to an extreme.Charon wrote:If I may make a suggestion, Mulan II. That looked particularly atrocious.
