The Sword in the Stone: 45th Anniversary Special Edition
»rank: 676
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Based upon T.H. White's beloved novel, this Disney-fied version chronicles the tutoring of the 0nce and Future King, Arthur, as handled by the magician Merlin. Sword was a portent of things to come, with slapstick upbraiding storytelling, and cultural in-jokes substituting for wonder. But there's much to enjoy here as Merlin shows Newt, the young Arthur, things that will help him become the ruler of the Britons. The transformation sequences, where the boy is turned into a fish, a bird, and a squirrel are vintage Disney. The oft-repeated scene ...

»rank: 471
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Back in 1961, Walt Disney got a little hip with 101 Dalmatians, making use of that flat Saturday morning cartoon style that had become so popular. The result is a kitschy change in animation and story.

They become proud parents of 15 pups, who are stolen by the dastardly Cruella De Vil, who wants to make a fur ...

The Stranger
»rank: 471
Chroniques et points de vue: Essential Video:The legendary story that hovers over 0rson Welles's The Stranger is that he wanted Agnes Moorehead to star as the dogged Nazi hunter who trails a war criminal to a sleepy New England town. The part went to E.G. Robinson, who is marvelous, but it points out how many compromises Welles made on the film in an attempt to show Hollywood he could make a film on time, on budget, and on their own terms. He accomplished all three, turning out a stylish if unambitious film noir thriller, ...
