DD48 – Bolt (2008)

March 30, 2022 01:04:40 0 Comments

If ever an argument were to be made that Disney created a character that was TOO cute, it would probably be Bolt. A canine action star who loves his human more than anything, and establishes an unlikely friendship with a cynical but street smart big-city cat? The Dummies never stood a chance. But they’re up to the challenge all the same, and this week they’ve got a lot to bark about as they howl the praises of one of the most underwoofed Disney films of the 21st century.

DD47 – Meet the Robinsons (2007)

March 16, 2022 01:17:54 0 Comments

It’s another first for the Dummies this week, as we give time travel a go with Meet the Robinsons, a family of quirky characters who are all about celebrating the art of trying – even when it ends in failure. But as we follow our hero Lewis through time and space along with his guide and new friend Wilbur Robinson, we’ve got a sneaking suspicion (or at least, some of us do) that Wilbur might know more about Lewis than he’s letting on…

We’re back into the world of CG animation, and for Chicken Little, Disney went BIG! Anthropomorphic animals, alien invasions, a high-stakes baseball game…this movie has everything! But as the Dummies will tell you, at the heart of it, we’ve got a little chicken with a big heart – and some pretty cool tricks up his sleeve that he just might have to use to save the day.

DD45 – Home on the Range (2004)

February 16, 2022 01:04:03 0 Comments

They say there’s no place like home, and the Disney Dummies can confirm that there’s certainly no place like Home on the Range…and that’s probably a good thing. Not to call this one a stinker, but the farm winds are blowing all over this, well, stinker, as our new friends Maggie, Grace, and Mrs. Calloway teach us that of all the things we need in this world, an animated movie about displaced cattle probably wasn’t one of them.

December 8, 2021 01:00:15 0 Comments

There’s no time like the end of the year to discover a new groove! The Emperor’s New Groove is Disney animated slapstick at its best, and the Dummies are following along on a truly wacky mission to save Pacha’s home from the selfish King/llama Kuzco, and stop the evil Yzma and her right-hand himbo, Kronk, from doing MURDER (gasp!!). Groove along with us, if you dare!
