I return to the Ten Bad Dates with De Niro book, plunging back into the chapter on movies that cause trauma, and find myself face to face with Bambi. The classic Disney films has no doubt scarred viewers since its debut in ’42. People were used to cartoons being fun, delightful, occasionally frightening, as moments…

Cinderella (1950) – Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske
The Movie Book from DK Canada invites me to sit down and take in another Disney classic, this time it is the Mouse’s 1950 adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella. Despite having recognisable songs that have endured over the decades, the film itself, honestly, feels rather boring, and has not weathered time so very…
One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) – Clyde Geronimi, Hamikton Luske and Wolfgang Reitherman
Continuing my recommendations from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book for my screening of Snow White, I happily dove into this canine tale, which, much like the other recommendations so far, I hadn’t seen in years. Set in London, with a fantastic score by George Bruns, and based on the book…

This time around, there are more iconic moments on display as dogs take to the screen in this eternally…
Peter Pan (1953) – Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, & Jack Kinney
The first of the recommendations following Snow White for the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film gets underway with 1953’s Peter Pan. J.M. Barrie’s tale of pirates, fairies, children who never grow up, and the boy who leads them comes to animated life in this Disney film. It’s fun, almost lighter fare than Snow White,…
