Tyler  00:43

I am your other host, Tyler. And this week we are shampooing our way through. I totally forgot about that catchphrase. And I love it. DuckTales the movie colon treasure of the loss lamp. Well, that's a mouthful. You, sir, are a mouthful. A Disney movie from 1990. And it's weird. Yeah, it's like, it's gotta

 

Misha  01:11

wear it. Again. Two in a row. Short Movies based off of TV shows.

 

Tyler  01:20

Yeah, this TV shows popular. Let's make it into a movie. And without spoiling too much. I would say this one is more successful than the Doug one. But yeah, we will financially though, not financially. It didn't do well. But it did well. Movie wise. Yeah. In our hearts and our minds. It's a better movie, but there are some issues with it, which we will get to. And yeah. Thanks for coming, everybody. Thanks for joining the show. And yeah, let's let's get into it. Unless there's any stuff, by the way. Wonderful, wonderful Genie scream that like, like,

 

Misha  01:57

a greeting word for a normal greeting.

 

Tyler  02:00

When he's like, wow, Subway. Or like, when when what's his name? The dude from Big Bang Theory says like, catchphrase, catchphrase. I don't know that. When the genie does it, it's not a catchphrase. It's like his magic. It's like Shazam. Or abracadabra,

 

Misha  02:19

that's not how he uses it different differently in different ways. So the first time he does it, which is the best. He's just like, excited to be out of the lab. It's just like an exclamation of joy. And then another time he uses it. I think it's more along the lines of what you're thinking. Where it's like, I'm doing a magic

 

Tyler  02:47

thing. Yeah. And sometimes he just it's an expression of fear when the bad guy is coming. Or when he like sees the bad guy. So yeah, it's much more in that case. It is kind of a catchphrase I would say for him. Okay, but I don't know if that's the right word that I was looking for. But anyway, let's that's my own private prison to follow. And remember keep it honestly it is

 

Misha  03:14

the easy way shabu way.

 

Tyler  03:16

The word is Chabot so we write these movies for those who are new to the program we write these movies on originality story animation, music and sound protagonist sidekick villain henchmen strong female lead bipoc representation slash portrayal and fun factor and then we give it you know, negative points of doesn't sit right. And bonus points for effervescence that special Disney magic. And all of those are one out of 10 and totaling up to 110 or out of 110 No one has gotten that close except even yeah none of them have broken Yeah 100 Cocoa got close cocoa did get close cocoa got close at least compared to the other movies Yeah, well without further ado, let's get let's jump into I'm reporting to get into it.

Misha  04:26

Misha  05:16

You want me to talk about movie talking about this

 

Tyler  05:19

movie because I was about to go into a URL Fest and like Yarlung sounds so let's, let's let's get into it. What happens in this movie?

 

Misha  05:26

All right, so this is a movie about Scrooge McDuck of the famous MC duck clan. And, you know, great grandnephew of swamp hole. And yep, sir swamp hole, and Scrooge has been searching for Cali Bubba's treasure for 40 years, and finally finds it. And he's with his three nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie and his niece webby and

 

Tyler  06:03

this pilot. Yeah,

 

Misha  06:05

what's that? Dum Dums name? Fart making luck. What? Launch Pad launch pad and launch Okay, so at launch pad big crack. Yep. And okay, I have a question. So ducks crack. Okay, yeah, I know humans speak but like Do we have any sound that we like cows Moo chickens clock Buck luck. ducks. Quack. Goats bleep humans.

 

Tyler  06:45

We sound are barbaric. YOP yarp Yup.

 

Misha  06:51

Yeah, we

 

Tyler  06:52

yell we shout We cry. We explain.

 

Misha  06:55

We have to think we do have an ability with our ranges to yeah wide anyway.

 

Tyler  07:02

Also also all those sounds are super human centric. Like cats make a vast array of noises they don't just meow they also going awry or I see that goat make some sounds that there are not words for

 

Misha  07:20

can you try?

 

Tyler  07:26

Think I just blasted out my speaker or my microphone.

 

Misha  07:30

Yeah. So back to DuckTales the movie The treasure of the last lamp? Is it that treasure of the last lamp or just treasure of the last lamp treasure? Treasure of loss. Okay, back to DuckTales the movie treasure of the last land. So Scrooge finds this treasure. He goes in. But then they get it gets stolen. The treasure gets stolen by Merlok voiced by Christopher Lloyd amazing sirloin. And Scrooge is really upset because it was like his life's work to find Collie Baba is treasure. But Merlok only watch the treasure because in amongst the treasure is a genies lamp. And Scrooge doesn't. One might say and Scrooge doesn't know this. And before Merlok takes the treasure. Scrooge finds the lamp and gives it to webby who is a super cute, she is adorable. And he gives it to her because he's kind of a jerk and selfish and really greedy but whatever. And Merlok realizes that he doesn't have the lamp that they must still have it. So fast forward to the duck gang. They're all back in Duckburg and the kids have the lamp and webby rubs it the kids rub it and the genie pops out and yells shabu a

 

Tyler  09:11

shabu shabu

 

Misha  09:15

and then chaos ensues because kids make terrible wishes. Yeah. And then Marilla and

 

Tyler  09:24

animating stuffed animals getting the biggest Sunday in the world, all this other all these other crazy things? Yeah. And

 

Misha  09:35

Scrooge finds out about the treasure I mean about the lamp and wants it for himself because he is very excited and starts like, you know, throwing out ideas, but then he realizes because he is an adult. Oh, I really have to or maybe not just because he's an adult. I'm sure plenty of gramps would make terrible decisions, but he realizes that he needs to Think on it. And so at some point oh, so he's being now chased by Merlok because Merlok is a powerful not a wizard. What's the word they use? A source or a thirst?

 

Tyler  10:22

Yeah, that's what they call this one way he was described. Yeah. Okay.

 

Misha  10:26

So Merlok is chasing Scrooge and the genie. And then while that's happening Dijon as in Dijon mustard who is the thief that aided Merlok gets the lamp. So it's a real Aladdin kind of thing happening. Except

 

Tyler  10:48

Dijon is the sort of Iago No.

 

Misha  10:52

Is Aladdin because he's the thief that goes and gets the lamp. Okay, he's not worthy. He's just Dijon

 

Tyler  11:05

is not a diamond in the rough. He is a mustard and a butthole. Okay. Wow.

 

Misha  11:11

I don't know what that's like. Tyler, if you want to describe it to our audience. Yeah.

 

Tyler  11:17

So here's what the here's what it is. Oh, it's weird interference. Like the connection lost the connection. I explained it really well though. Just keep what whenever we can salvage will

 

Misha  11:31

keep him so Dijon gets his hand on hands on the lamp. He's a dog, by the way, everybody. Yeah. So

 

Tyler  11:39

they're also called the mics. He called them. He was called a weasel at some point. But I think that was just being rude rather than he's actually a weasel. I think they're dogs. Yeah, they have sort of that Pluto, Goofy type look to them. Yeah.

 

Misha  11:55

And so where am I Dijon wishes that he could have everything that Scrooge has. So when Scrooge realizes he has a fake lamp, he did all like Dijon, Jindal swap or Roo. He tries to go back.

 

Tyler  12:16

I watched that twice. Scrooge was on the run in that

 

Misha  12:20

on the cart. There's a food. Yeah, he runs

 

Tyler  12:23

in a food cart and he grabs. He grabs like a gravy boat thing or? Yeah.

 

Misha  12:30

And so Dijon is like sitting pretty in Scrooges. Bank Tower vault. Yeah, whatever it is money. Money involves

 

Tyler  12:42

money, Ben. And

 

Misha  12:45

when Scrooge realizes that he has a gravy boat, he tries to go back to get the lamp from Dijon and then gets arrested because he's trespassing at this point. So he's in prison. The whole duck gang bails him out. And then while that's happening? Oh, no, they bail him out. And then they like Mission Impossible style. Me to break back into the vault. Yep. Steal the lamp from Dijon as Scrooge is about to is grabbing the lamp with his cane. Turns out there's a little cockroach, which is Merlok because he's a shapeshifter, everybody. Yeah, we'll get to there's a piercer. Great, thanks for that. Merlok is a shapeshifter. Merlok transforms into his sorcerer shape and takes the lamp for himself. And he has this talisman that when he puts it on the lamp. He gets unlimited wishes and there's a whole history with that. And so he has the lamp. And then he want he wishes to transform the vault into his fortress that he used to have. Yeah. To this big scary, like red and black rocky fortress thing took Superman, the kids it does look really cool. And then but all it takes to defeat the world's most powerful sorcerer is a slingshot and they slingshot the lamp away from him. And then the lamp and Scrooge go flying off. Okay, so at one point the the fortress gets shot into the wishes

 

Tyler  14:44

because he wishes for his home to go back. Yeah. Oh, he

 

Misha  14:47

wishes to go back home from wherever he's from

 

Tyler  14:50

Cincinnati.

 

Misha  14:51

So they're up there flying. He they're on their way to Cincinnati and Scrooge is falling now and the lamp goes with him and He's got the lamp. And then somehow somehow Merlok loses his talisman. And Scrooge wishes that everyone could be back home safe and everything started like back to normal. And then that's it happily ever after.

 

Tyler  15:24

Oh, interesting. You left out the last final

 

Misha  15:28

there. Jesus. Let me

 

Tyler  15:31

happily ever after. It's almost like you're wrapped up in dev,

 

Misha  15:35

but did you E, the genie. I don't even know the genie is name Genie. Just Genie. Yep.

 

Tyler  15:46

Same as Aladdin.

 

Misha  15:48

Okay, so Genie is sad because he's like a Pinocchio situation where he wants to be a real boy. And so Scrooges final, selfless wish, is for genie to be a real boy. And then Genie becomes a real boy. And phyllo lamp crumbles, because there's no genie power now keeping it magical and alive or whatever. And then Genie goes and plays with the boys. Yeah,

 

Tyler  16:22

and now he's a boy. Who when he was disguised as boy before was going by Gene, so maybe he's name is Joy.

 

Misha  16:29

Or just G? Like, what up G?

 

Tyler  16:32

Oh, I thought they said I thought they said gene. You might be right. I can't remember. I don't know. So his name is either old ears. G What up G or?

 

Misha  16:44

or G D dog?

 

Tyler  16:47

Yeah. What's up? Gee, duck. Awesome. Okay. That was very good. Very, very good. And it's a fun movie. But we'll get to that with fun. But yeah, it's it's it's rip roaring. It's not too long.

 

Misha  17:03

It's an hour and like, 12 minutes. Yeah, it's 68 minutes of your life.

 

Tyler  17:08

But it's also like, not so short that it like this one. Yes, it. It's from a TV show. But this one get made sense as a movie. Whereas the Doug one just made absolutely no fucking sense why they made a movie, except as a cash grab. All right, well, let's get into it. I have a lot of questions and a lot of things to bring up. But we shall get to those in due time. Originality. Not so. Yeah, that

 

Misha  17:38

original original mean. So Aladdin, we gave it to and I'm clearly using that sort of as a model for how we do this is less original, because not only is it a similar story, although Aladdin should go down because after watching this, which came out two years earlier.

 

Tyler  17:57

Yeah. Something similar. Yeah. So we had to, I think we just forgot that this movie existed when we were upgrading it, and we're giving it to because mind

 

Misha  18:07

this person told Yeah, yes, but this is based off of the TV show in which is based off of a comic, in addition to this tale is all this time. Yep.

 

Tyler  18:21

So I think it should get one.

 

Misha  18:22

Yeah, me too. All right. Yeah. All right.

 

Tyler  18:27

So do we do we want to Well, I guess we can but we can talk about do we want to retroactively LIS Jordan or buts what put mustard on our butts and punish Aladdin or Punisher now

 

Misha  18:41

let's punish you by putting

 

Tyler  18:49

Okay, yeah, let's leave it because this one it's like Aladdin. It's I mean, yeah, this this story is very similar to Aladdin in many ways, as we see, but, but yeah, let's leave it to I guess. So speaking story. Oh, another thing actually really quick. I wanted to mention with originality is they also then just like, copy Indiana Jones a little bit like it's an it's an homage it's not copying, I guess. But that's definitely like a very clear nod to the Indiana Jones franchise as well. So maybe that also has an effect, right. So story. Similar to Aladdin. It's like fine lamp Genie is a kooky character. Genie wants to be free. evil sorcerer wants to get genie to become more powerful. A lot of the beats are the same but obviously there are differences there's no love interest there's no cool tiger named Raja there's no a boo but but yeah, it's a similar similar story and we gave it lad enough five for story for like, I mean, as far as I remember, I was a bit harsh on it for like basically the store was a bit nearer except for the the main dynamic of like, the buddy comedy genie in Aladdin. And this doesn't have that it does still have a kooky Genie character, but it doesn't really have a doesn't have like a I don't know, like, I doesn't have like a beating heart. It's just kind of like a there's a plot does

 

Misha  20:23

have an egg beater and they're ducks. Woohoo,

 

Tyler  20:27

yes, that is yeah, it's injuries like what is this like carpet beater? And they're like, No, it's an egg beater. You know, the things that come out of our clothes because you're older.

 

Misha  20:37

Not all of them just webby and Granny's or whatever her name is this past Mrs. MC.

 

Tyler  20:45

Duck. Fuck knows her name. I have to look it up because I don't remember her name was Mrs. Feather B.

 

Misha  20:53

Feather beak, feather be feather

 

Tyler  20:55

be feather be.

 

Misha  20:57

Feather be Yeah, she laid some eggs in her in her time. Yeah,

 

Tyler  21:00

and the butler's Duckworth. So no, no sorry. It's not Mrs. Feather be that Mrs. Feather BSD is the assistant who comes up to talk to Scrooge and give him it's Mrs. beekley. I think this is

 

Misha  21:14

basically Yeah. Yeah.

 

Tyler  21:17

Yeah, there's one scene when Scrooge is upset that he lost the treasure. And this assistant comes in with like a sandwich and a glass of milk or something to tell us about the beekley That's Mrs. Feather be the worker at the bank. And Mrs. beekley as the nanny made Yeah, house I guess.

 

Misha  21:36

This is feather be ever showing up? Well,

 

Tyler  21:39

I'll be honest, she shouldn't be up above Mrs. beekley in the casting list, of course. Oh, absolutely. Not because she was barely in it. But yeah, she pops up. She was definitely different character. There's like the one scene was Scrooge is angry in his office, saying he's not gonna go back to that adventurers club because they're just gonna laugh at him. Because he didn't Yeah, again, he didn't get the treasure. And there's a woman like trying to give him his one shot. And then she's like, What about your lunch? And he says salad and then leaves the

 

Misha  22:07

Yeah, that made me want a sandwich. I was like, I'm gonna sandwich

 

Tyler  22:10

I love cartoon sandwiches like and then the next scene is the kids sitting around and then rubbing the lamp. And one of the boys has like a sandwich that he's bitten a whole lot of, you know, like the teeth works. I love I just love cartoon food.

 

Misha  22:26

I'm really hungry for a sandwich

 

Tyler  22:29

the pancakes and Goofy Movie, for example. Delicious. Okay, wait

 

Misha  22:32

and Alice in Wonderland. Yep.

 

Tyler  22:36

So good. So I don't know. Like it's, it's, it's a fun story. But it's like, it's a bit sort of derivative. I know. I mean, that makes it sound harsh, because I did enjoy the movie. But just like none of the beats really are surprises. And they're all characters that are from the the TV show. And they're like, you know, not really going through any changes. There were

 

Misha  22:59

parts where they just sort of like made a decision just to have it move along. Like when Scrooge manages to open a security door with his wooden cane, like a steel security door, a door to his vault, and he just prise it open with a wooden cane. Yeah. Granted

 

Tyler  23:21

after his nephews and niece had gotten the defences down, but still, yeah, it's his cane is made of strong stuff for sure. But yeah, it's like the kids like Huey, Dewey and Louie are all sort of and webby are all really like we can get into this with characters but they're all sort of like one note and didn't have any growth. It's just like they're Yeah, they're part they're like reacting to the the MacGuffin, and and Scrooge as well Scrooge shows more growth and like Christmas Carol. And this has a sort of same turn like hey, don't be such a greedy person. Think of others. It has a sort of similar

 

Misha  24:02

any license girl does for a moment. Yeah,

 

Tyler  24:05

he has maybe only Yeah, only for sure.

 

Misha  24:09

Right and only because shit really really hits the fan. Yeah,

 

Tyler  24:14

yeah. It's kind of like Aladdin. We should on Aladdin for like he finally freeze Genie. Like, once it's, it's like, narratively appropriate for the movie meta wise. And also, like, once it's good for him. He frees the genie. Yeah, like he doesn't free the genie when he it's the friendly thing to do. He freeze. Like once he's, he's got his dick. What kind of thing so it's just got his No. She's got his mustard. What? So,

 

Misha  24:43

ducks do have decks. So

 

Tyler  24:46

yeah, we did learn that. Exactly. I knew that one. Which, again, we have to we'll probably have to. Yes. Female all

 

Misha  24:55

the time. Yeah.

 

Tyler  25:00

which we probably should just bring up the fact that like they're all Winnie the Pooh poohing it out here. And at some points there are some naked children as well. I

 

Misha  25:08

know ducking, Donald ducking exactly our house. Yeah. Yeah. So well, I watched it with Steve, although he fell asleep. But at one point I said, Why can't they fly or swim? And he immediately was like, Oh, they're city ducks. So that I was like, that's a pretty good answer. So do you think country ducks haven't forgotten how to do those things?

 

Tyler  25:34

Maybe does that by saying city duck doesn't mean some parks official has clip their wings?

 

Misha  25:41

Oh, no. Just meaning like, like City Slickers. Can't, you know, climb a tree?

 

Tyler  25:47

Okay. Knowing Steve, I thought he like knew something like, oh, the reason why those ducks are data data. I feel like probably I would not be surprised if sometime in the four seasons of the show, there was a cousin Yoko cousin from the country who comes to visit Scrooge. So and I have no idea. I'm making this up it but I feel like it's something that we

 

Misha  26:11

that Scrooge can dive off of a diving board and dive under coins, which would kill the rest of us. Yep. But he can't swim underwater. Because they need the boat

 

Tyler  26:29

to get out of a cave of one year boat. Scrooge is also he can float for sure. Because he's he dives off that flying castle to get the lamp. And he's basically like swimming in the air. He's not really free falling. He's just like, slowly, because the Griffin Eagle saying

 

Misha  26:50

I think it's just the sort of his feathers are sort of doing the work and he doesn't know what to do. Yeah.

 

Tyler  26:58

He's just trying to Yeah, trying to get the lamp. Yeah. Okay, story. I mean, somewhere in the middle, maybe because it's like, it's okay. It's just.

 

Misha  27:12

Yeah. Not as good as

 

Tyler  27:15

Aladdin. Oh, yeah. I don't think the story is as good as Latin. So a Thor? Yeah, I think a forest. Okay. Yeah, animation. Yeah. So this this movie. I mean, for the most part, I, I'd love to hear what you thought of it. Because this is sort of more of a classic style that you know, that we both really like and enjoy. But this is clearly a sort of sloppy rushed job that to say, it says sloppy, and it was produced by like a team of, I think more than one team production team, and a team of interestingly, like an international team of different studios around the world. Possibly not all able to communicate with each other potentially. Because they had to like I read some little thing that one of the the one American on the team had to keep translating, like explaining the script to them, so they could understand

 

Misha  28:10

like, what Diems and slang but yeah, I read that too.

 

Tyler  28:15

So like, I mean, most of them it's pretty, pretty good animation wise, but there

 

Misha  28:20

were some things that looked very rough, like unfinished and they forgot to do it correctly and just left it in.

 

Tyler  28:29

And the weird thing is, those are almost all close up shots, which makes it even more noticeable. They do a close up on web use face it's usually webby too, and she's just not finished. Like you can see

 

Misha  28:41

Yeah, there was one more Scrooge wasn't finished when the castle was growing. It looked like a sketch. Not even Yeah,

 

Tyler  28:48

not

 

Misha  28:49

even like filled in cells just sketch paper.

 

Tyler  28:57

So yeah, I don't know what the reason for that is but it's definitely like a rushed work and we did shit on Sorry to keep bringing Aladdin up but we did at least I did shit on parts of Aladdin for for rushing things and like making mistakes like yeah, like things just disappearing out of this frame or whatever. So I think we should punish it a little bit. However, I want to highlight some positives. The castle murlocs Castle the end really cool, really cool animation, the part where his throne grows and it looks like like clogged ribs are coming up. Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Like it was Yeah. Badass villain style. There are a lot like there are a lot of just nice little touches like when the kids when the castle is growing and the kids are trying to get to Scrooge to help him. They're on that stairway that then like transforms and breaks and shifts and it like sends them careening down a hallway. Like they're riding a dragon and that looked really cool. It almost turned into like the three The scene from Aladdin escaping the lamp but it didn't look bad in 3d because they kept it 2d Which was really great. Any other any, any parts that like stood out to you that you really liked? Or?

 

Misha  30:13

I did like how there was a sign in Duckburg that said Miami.

 

Tyler  30:18

Yeah. Didn't see that totally misread.

 

Misha  30:24

Just like a huge sign just in the middle of the town that said Miami and San Francisco. And I was like, I don't know what this is supposed to be. And

 

Tyler  30:33

they mentioned Boston, or did they mention Boston? Or was that in my mind? They mentioned somewhere.

 

Misha  30:40

Fuck.

 

Tyler  30:42

Now I don't remember they mentioned like a real place, but I can't remember what the real place was. It was in New York. That's gonna kill me too. Anyway. Another little place. Oh, yeah.

 

Misha  30:53

I was gonna say when Merlok was a hawk. He had a mustache. Yeah,

 

Tyler  30:57

he had a mustache. And then he had an even bigger, more sinister mustache when he turned into that beefy, sort of, I want to say Griffin, but that like sort of called it a Griffin. Yeah, that when he turns out the Griffin at the end, he's gotten even longer. So yeah, he was popping. He was popping for sure. He, he, he like looked funny. Like he much like Maui and Mallanna. Whenever he changes into something, he's still got that silly, stupid face. And when he was the cockroach, he looked really funny to use the rat. He always had that, like, that hilarious. Face and of the sounds he made two were really funny, but we can get to

 

Misha  31:37

  1. I want to talk about that when we get to it. Yeah. Okay, so what's

 

Tyler  31:42

next? But yeah, I just there's one other piece like, it's just it's blink and you miss it. But I just, it shows that when they take their time, they can just pull off like little things that are really magical. It's like nothing but for me, it was really magical. When the kids are sitting around the table. And the the maid whose name I already forgot, is basically when Mrs. B beekley When Duckworth the butler walks in and talks to basically Mrs. beekley turns and like as he's talking, she just like shuts. Like, like, what do they call that shelves drawer cabinet cabinet. There's a cabinet under the sink, and the doors open. And then she turns and she just closes it as she's talking to him. And it was just such a little, like, banal moment, but it was just beautiful that they like animated that and like made like took the time to like, do this cute little thing of this is basically being like the captain of this house who and everything must be in its right place, you know, and she was

 

Misha  32:45

animated wonderfully. I loved how thick she is. Yeah.

 

Tyler  32:52

And that actually brings up a good point. Like one great thing about movies like this is it's a it leans into that cartoonish aspect, like when she's upside down with her head between her legs. And she sees the toys coming and then she like, yeah, like erupts in a weird cartoonish way and her legs do the spinning thing. And then like whenever the bad guy gets bonked on the head, his eyes do that weird call from Jungle Book multicolored right like thing. I just love like, oh,

 

Misha  33:21

yeah, Scrooge got I don't know if he got something happened to him and his eyes just like shrunk to little dots. And then like back to normal size. Yeah,

 

Tyler  33:31

yeah. That's tough. So great. Lovely. Yeah, so what do you what do you think we should give it? I think it I think some you know, somewhere in the middle like it should be a six. Yeah, that sounds good. Because good animation, but it suffers from being Yeah. being rushed in. Yeah, that sounds good. Six. Sounds good. Okay. Music and sound. You had something you want to say I

 

Misha  33:58

have some sound things I would like to talk about. The movie opens with and at this point, you don't know that. It's not a regular hawk. Yeah. It's just my and you're just like, why is that? A human?

 

Tyler  34:21

Yeah, badly

 

Misha  34:22

impersonating a hawk. But then you learn it's Merlok. So it's a dog? Who makes human sounds pretending to be a hawk? And I really love that to be like, intentionally we're just like, like he when he transforms. He didn't make any sounds. But he's like, so he but he has to pretend to sound like the animal he's being. Yeah, so like, if one of us were transformed into an animal. Like, we'd have to go like meow like yes, I'm just a cat.

 

Tyler  34:59

Yeah, it's I noticed the same thing and I was I wrote down like, bad bad animal sounds again because we had the we had the Lucifer was it Lucifer the cat in Cinderella. Yeah. Who was just like a man going?

 

Misha  35:17

Yeah. And

 

Tyler  35:18

it's like very obviously like, just as a person sounds and I was like a grown this is this good but then it's funny because then when you Yeah, exactly. You realize what it is. Yeah. Because then when he's a cockroach he's making super funny sounds like, where I'm a cockroach like it's just like, what sounds weird.

 

Misha  35:36

Yeah.

 

Tyler  35:41

Yeah, it's absolutely great. The sounds are good. I mean, the genie all the genies little lie Lucia bluey and like yeah, although rip Taylor. Wonderful absolute legend. Yeah.

 

Misha  35:53

And then the boys were on a three humped camel. And as they were bouncing, there was like these really fun sounds with each like, blank boy, like with each and it was just cute and fun. And I liked it.

 

Tyler  36:10

It's, um, it's a bit of a shame. I guess that like, I mean, obviously, it's the way that the show was to it's a bit of a shame that all the boys and webby are all the same voice actor because it makes them all sort of bleed together. There are like little moments where some of them have like different personalities. Like I forget who it was, I think it was Louis, the one with the green shirt. Louie was like more trepidatious at some points than the others. But I mean, there was very like, right? If you if you

 

Misha  36:42

G for green G for good, so I could like sort of keep them apart because right otherwise, but there was only one time that he was like that.

 

Tyler  36:51

Yeah, it's like one time and it's yeah, if you've switched their shirts around, you wouldn't know which one was which. Yeah. The way I ever do is in like dewdrops. Do we like water when he's got the blue shirt. But then the other two is like, a Huey is the red shirt. But that Huey sounds like the name of a red shirt who would die on an away team mission and next generation shoe we know I don't know where I'm going with that. Wow. Speaking of shoe was a boring character. But anyway. Oh,

 

Misha  37:22

I was gonna say the actor who played Dijon. Richard lambertini. He once played a bajillion on DS nine but I've never seen it because I will not watch DS nine because it's garbage.

 

Tyler  37:34

And also speaking of Star Trek, Christopher Lloyd who voice of the bad guy is also in one of the Star Trek original Star Trek movies. Search for Spark forget to care to St. But anyway. Music and Sound okay, so we have to also talk about music. There's the the the the iconic theme song which comes at the end, which is nice. I liked how they could tell. And I thought the song after it in the credits was also quite good. And we get snippets of that good score. But overall the score just kind of

 

Misha  38:11

forget again. Yes.

 

Tyler  38:15

It's not it's not noticeably bad like with some of the movies we've seen but rock solid. And guess who did the score? No, no.

 

Misha  38:24

I don't remember the

 

Tyler  38:25

cousin of Randy Newman. His name is he's a he's an accomplished conductor and composer as well. It's not just like, oh, Randy Newman is not available. Who can we get to that guy? It's like when Bill Murray is not available. Let's get Brian Doyle Murray. David Newman he did a bunch of movies. He did like I had to look this up but he did like Death to Smoochy Matilda Frankenweenie is excellent, Mighty Ducks. Did a bunch of movies. I was really into ducks. I guess. Brave Little Toaster apparently. Which when I saw that I was like, Oh, that music actually. It's quite similar. Yeah, what do you think about like a five?

 

Misha  39:10

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

 

Tyler  39:12

Cool.

 

Misha  39:15

We

 

Tyler  39:17

protagonist, so I guess it's scourge right? Yeah. But for like he's in sick for like the middle third of the movie. It's the it's the triplets but I think it's Scrooge No, I

 

Misha  39:30

think it's Chris. Yeah, I think we have to pick Scrooge Scrooge

 

Tyler  39:34

is a massive showed. And I've never really noticed this as a kid because he's a bit charming and he's got his like, he's determined he loves family. But he's a fucking Ah, he's

 

Misha  39:47

just fucking grabby hands the whole time. Greedy MIG btw, just the kid like and they all adore him and treats everyone like shit. Yeah, I do not like him. He

 

Tyler  40:03

does this he does the type of thing where he's like, Oh, we're all family in this household but then like, has a maid and a butler and kids and treats them as servants. Yeah, and his first wishes like I'm gonna get the world's biggest diamond. No, I'm gonna get the world's biggest diamond mine.

 

Misha  40:19

Right who's gonna fucking mine for your diamonds? You aihole

 

Tyler  40:24

He's and he said it a quadrillion air which makes him one of the wealthiest people in human history and duck history probably.

 

Misha  40:35

Richest, richest quality depends what the currency is.

 

Tyler  40:39

Yes, depends. Yeah, because like yeah, like Mansa Musa increases for like, both considered the world's richest men at their times, but compared to like, Zaki Zack and what's a McGee's name the Amazon, Elon Musk and Oh, Jeff Bezos Bezos not musky. I mean, yeah, but Musk is now got valuated as number one. Yeah, these guys are like that. They're Scrooge McDuck levels are, listen,

 

Misha  41:10

if we're gonna talk start talking about capitalism. I can rant about this for the rest of everyone's lives.

 

Tyler  41:19

Hey, I'm here with you, but I'm preaching to the choir.

 

Misha  41:25

I think maybe we're not. Maybe we'll convince some capitalists to be a little less capitalist and a little more socialist or communist. My dad gets so upset when I say when I say anything about communism.

 

Tyler  41:38

Yeah, because like he's, he's old enough to remember like, the McCarthy era the horrors of communism. Yeah. Yes. Anyway, protagonist. He's a stinky rich guy who wants more wealth and he'd rather dive in a his temple of his own design filled with money than play with his grant. Grant.

 

Misha  42:00

It just it just,

 

Tyler  42:03

it's um, just fucking sits there. I think he gets a one. I mean, I don't I can't see scourge getting. Yeah, I mean, what? Yeah, he is known by the typical ways that we judge I mean, he's got a little bit of charisma is does he show growth over the course of the story? He does not. Is he brave? Yes, he is. He doesn't ever think to not fight the bad guy. Does he stick up for his Yeah. Does he agree one you better down the hatches Mr. Wayne. That's my that's my Selina Kyle. From from the woods from him. So he's the bad cat you've ever Dark Knight Rises on wood the brain wouldn't be living in the dark. There's a storm coming Mr. Wayne. Rich buddies better batten down the hatches.

 

Misha  43:09

I've never seen Selena Kaieteur

 

Tyler  43:13

name that's her that's cat woman's name. Selina. Kyle

 

Misha  43:15

character created by Bill Finger.

 

Tyler  43:21

Oh Willie finger is like I want to create a really finger Okay. Huey Louie Dewey and webby. And I guess maybe

 

Misha  43:35

gets points up for this. But otherwise, because she's really cute,

 

Tyler  43:40

but she's, she's like, given absolutely nothing to do. And it's like

 

Misha  43:47

her animals into Yeah, I mean, it's a turn to come alive for her tea party, but

 

Tyler  43:53

they're given her the classic like she's a girl who just wants to play Tea Party and doesn't know is isn't the brave one. That's like I'm mouthing the trap saying but

 

Misha  44:03

she is cute. So I can go up I think that's

 

Tyler  44:07

really cute. She's cuter than the boys. It's just they're all like given kind of nothing to do. Yeah, I think they said score. Shot. Yes, slingshot, thinkable you they're resourceful. A two or three is fair. Yeah, let's say let's say three.

 

Misha  44:26

That's generous because it's you know, I

 

Tyler  44:27

set it look at what we're comparing. We're comparing it to Skeeter Valentine, I think yeah, you're right three and we're in Rhino from fucking bolts. So

 

Misha  44:37

he got a one

 

Tyler  44:39

though. Yeah, but we both know

 

Misha  44:45

they got a two he got a two it's because plus

 

Tyler  44:48

the cat with boobs. Cat was what was her name the cat in that the alley cat would

 

Misha  44:58

talk about that. Anyway.

 

Tyler  45:01

villain Merlok the sorcerer, the Sorcerer is excellent.

 

Misha  45:04

He is excellent. He is good. He moves this movie along. He is

 

Tyler  45:10

everything you want in a villain in this type of movie he is. He's scheming He's. He's brainy. He's like so scary. Sometimes power is like unknown. It's unclear how powerful he is. He's clearly quite powerful. He gets really scary at the end when his castle grows, but he's also like, Oh Ha, God. He's also a total goofball. Like, he's a cockroach when he couldn't be anything else. But he's a cockroach and he's going around. Congress making noises turns into the dumbest silicon vulture Eagle weird hybrid thing. He's a he's a good villain. I

 

Misha  45:51

mean, the Christopher Lloyd is fucking awesome.

 

Tyler  45:54

He really knocks it out of the park. Yeah, I think yeah, yeah, this might be sacrilege, but I think like for the movie, he is a better villain than Jafar was.

 

Misha  46:07

I disagree.

 

Tyler  46:12

Because the one thing he doesn't really one thing he doesn't have the DEVAR has is a love of puns. And everything else he's got

 

Misha  46:20

he loses a point for that, because the puns are fucking awesome and Aladdin,

 

Tyler  46:24

but I think like for the movie, and for like what he accomplishes in the movie in his menace throughout the movie, and he's always like there on the background. He Oh, yeah, I

 

Misha  46:33

would say like, what he's a bear in the background is scary. Yeah,

 

Tyler  46:37

I'd say like, I mean, for the movie, we're just looking like this just based on the movie, I would say it's a seven like a strong seven which would technically be higher than Jafar.

 

Misha  46:52

Okay,

 

Tyler  46:55

and no queer coding with him. So that's another bonus point.

 

Misha  47:01

And he's right and he's not a pervert.

 

Tyler  47:03

He's not a pervert. He eats food like a normal person. I mean, he might be nasty as fuck yeah, but we don't see it whereas with Jafar, we see him like, get off on like getting Apple splooge on on a teenager so

 

Misha  47:18

All right, I'm he's he also likes mustard, but then I'm like, I really want a sandwich with mustard.

 

Tyler  47:24

He also like, I mean, he has some similar similar crutches that

 

Misha  47:31

make cheese toast after this and put some mustard on it and cheese toast everybody.

 

Tyler  47:35

He has some similar like problems that Jafar had like he's relying on total incompetent idiots too much like to Jafar relied on Iago is not totally incompetent. Iago pushes that story forward, but I would.

 

Misha  47:51

Why would Merlok send in. If he can fly, if you can turn into a cockroach, if he could turn into anything he could turn into a snake he could turn into one of those green scorpions and inside the cave, if he can turn into anything why rely on

 

Tyler  48:11

Dijon it's the same or it's the same thing. But well, first off he couldn't even find the entrance until scourge Intel's into launch pad and launch pads. Campbell found it, we should say. But he does the classic thing where he's like, why do it for free when you can I mean, why? Like why put the effort in and spend the effort when you can get someone else? You know,

 

Misha  48:34

old adage of you want something done? Right? You gotta do it yourself. He hasn't learned that in the last 1000 years or however old he is. Yeah.

 

Tyler  48:43

Older if he took down Atlantis, so yeah.

 

Misha  48:49

I mean, why did they include that in Atlantis The Lost Empire? Yeah,

 

Tyler  48:53

when he I love also the part where Genie says like, when Vesuvius boots top that was because we're like, Louis, stop. Yeah, all those little. Sorry, speaking of side kicks, Genie. Oh,

 

Misha  49:06

Genie is a side kicks.

 

Tyler  49:08

He brings the score up. I

 

Misha  49:09

forgot. i Yes. i forgot about Genie as a sidekick. Genie is definitely a sidekick. There were parts and like at the end where he's like, Oh, are we gonna be a world boy? Like I was like, Okay, did Robin Williams watch this? No, seriously, it's like a riff on it. Like I was. It felt very similar. Yeah, it's very similar. Yeah.

 

Tyler  49:32

I mean, Taylor is a very like larger than life comedic presence, much like Robin Williams was so it's like, and also another person like if you really can't stomach that their stick, you're gonna hate this character type thing. What you bring the side kicks score up to I think it should get a bump but maybe not like, I mean, it's not like four.

 

Misha  49:54

He's okay. He's not the he's not Gini levels in

 

Tyler  49:58

it enough yet because the thing with Aladdin is Yes Jeanne but also carpet theories. Yeah. And carpet also was I

 

Misha  50:06

think a four is fine to give one extra point for you think more no

 

Tyler  50:10

four is fine he when he was gonna say five oh I mean I mean four is fine I'm fine with the four I won't fight for five he was the thing that when he popped up on screen that's when I remembered like oh I have seen this movie because I remembered his silly hat and is a is like silly silly don't remember him at all eyebrows yeah he was the thing that I remembered I oh his eyebrows are wonderful divers a very lonely very large

 

Misha  50:39

All right I'll go to a five okay,

 

Tyler  50:43

that would be lovely.

 

Misha  50:44

That doesn't feel good. Follow them Don't

 

Tyler  50:45

Don't do something that doesn't make you feel good. Giving scourge of one made me not feel great but he but fucking kill the rich. He deserves it.

 

Misha  50:55

Yeah, all right. Look, give we'll give Jeannie a five. I mean two points. Yeah. Genie and

 

Tyler  51:03

the others. Yeah, and villain. I mean, my proposal would be seven but I'm willing to come Seven I'm willing to come down because you don't seem to agree that for the movie, he's a better villain than Jafar is a better villain in Aladdin. I mean of course white good maybe yeah, maybe we were a bit harsh with the six for

 

Misha  51:23

Aladdin Jr. is way more villainous. Yeah. And creepy and and not in the pervy way but just like sinister. Yeah.

 

Tyler  51:34

He is a manipulator he is six. Okay. Yeah, six is good. Okay. Okay, henchmen henchmen. This would be Isha Dijon, I guess. And here's where I bring up. What we were was probably fated does get brought up. Yeah. The I

 

Misha  51:50

was gonna bring it up in the later category of, yeah.

 

Tyler  51:53

Okay. Well, we'll save it. We'll save it for doesn't sit right. Right. If you're gonna bring it up in bipoc No, I

 

Misha  52:01

was gonna bring it for doesn't sit right. Okay.

 

Tyler  52:05

So henchman, Dijon is a bumbling buffoon of a thief. He does help trip his way through and keep the plot moving because he's does a switcheroo on the lamp, I think. And he's a bit comical, like when he stops his pants filled with like gold and starts wearing

 

Misha  52:23

white boxers with pink polka dots. Isn't there somebody in Aladdin? Who's wearing Raja bites the butt of somebody and so can see.

 

Tyler  52:37

You Raja bites it and gets a piece of the underwear. But the piece of cloth that's missing is the outer clothes, not the underwear. Yeah, yeah. But you see the underwear you sell so so that means that that salt in the inside of the Sultan's clothes is also? Yeah, it's aligned with pairs of underwear.

 

Misha  52:53

Oh, that's Double bagging it. Yeah.

 

Tyler  52:57

Pulling the old double bag with boxers. Okay, interesting. I guess that's better than fucking quail man wearing whitey tighties on the outside. Gross. Yeah, Dijon. As a henchman. Dijon isn't really a henchman because he's, he's a servant. He

 

Misha  53:15

is he's helping. Yep. Yeah,

 

Tyler  53:19

yeah,

 

Misha  53:20

he is. How would you call a henchman? Paid unpaid he's thinking he's gonna get riches out of this. That's

 

Tyler  53:26

why he's doing that's why I feel like he's like, yeah, he's not like henchmen get paid sometimes. No, for sure. Yeah,

 

Misha  53:33

it's just like he this is just like the promise of payment. future payment.

 

Tyler  53:37

Yeah, I guess I was just being a little too like, strict with my interpretation. Yeah, you're right. He is the henchmen. I just don't think he's very good. He should get a little bit of points for like, I mean, I laughed a lot. I remember as a kid when he would like fill his pants up with a with I laughed when

 

Misha  53:53

he called down the hall. Yeah. Three or two.

 

Tyler  54:01

I think three is fine. Three is okay. It was kind of funny. He's funny. I also liked that he tries to he when he gets the lamp, he immediately tries to get something out of it and forgets that he's got a very powerful sorcerer boss who's like and Genie.

 

Misha  54:15

Keep reminding him he was like, but I'm so great. I know. It could hurt me. Yeah. Idiot.

 

Tyler  54:22

Oh, yeah. Strong Female Lead. Well, Wah wah wah wah quackquack. One bipoc representation. This gets also gets a one and we've got something to say about it. But perhaps we can save that for doesn't sit right. But as far as like voice acting, we've got the typical thing where like, pretty much nobody was not whitebread. And yeah, yep. Fun Factor.

 

Misha  54:49

Yeah,

 

54:50

it's fun. It's fun.

 

Misha  54:53

It's a fun movie.

 

Tyler  54:54

It's quite fun. I don't think it's like a 10 fun, but it's fun. Yeah,

 

Misha  54:58

no, no, I think it's just fun. honors.

 

Tyler  55:02

I mean, it's, it's it's fun. I can't it's okay to be scared of seven. Fuck me.

 

Misha  55:07

I know. It's why

 

Tyler  55:09

because that movie is the parts of it are parts of the movie are fun. Yes. Parts of the movie were fun. That's

 

Misha  55:16

a fun movie. Yeah,

 

Tyler  55:17

it's a fun movie.

 

Misha  55:18

It's more fun than this. Are you kidding? I agree. This is a six.

 

Tyler  55:23

I agree that yeah, this is more fun. It's just like the parts right when

 

Misha  55:28

she's in a town and she's singing and there's like all the townspeople and lifou I mean, the food's annoying. It's fun. It's way more fun than this. Okay, this gets a six a six is

 

Tyler  55:39

fine. Yeah, cuz it wasn't

 

Misha  55:40

not fun. I

 

Tyler  55:41

was originally thinking seven but you're right that like the the standout moments and Beauty and the Beast are more fun. So yeah, I'm fine with that six. So yeah, okay, doesn't separate. So I got something to say but

 

Misha  55:57

it's all fucking Dijon. i Okay, so it's an all white cast. So it gets a one for ducks and dogs, right? You can't get lower than that. But boy, were they racist with Dijon and so they gotta lose points for that because can't go lower than one in the bipod category.

 

Tyler  56:23

Yeah, all the Dijon and then all the other workers at the dig site in the Middle East some unnamed place in the Middle East but there were hieroglyphics so we could probably guess that it's probably Egypt. So yeah, all these like these fucking poo from Simpson sounding people. Yeah. With like takia like with Muslim head head gear and like,

 

Misha  56:46

terrible grammar to like, make fun of people who speak a different language or English not as their first language.

 

Tyler  56:54

It's like, yeah, and yeah, at one point, Scrooge calls them weasels or calls calls Dijon, a weasel.

 

Misha  57:03

I thought he did it because he knew your weasel that he was not like, I don't I didn't take that as a racist. It's

 

Tyler  57:11

like you see if I took you You mean like you call thieves weasels? Like yeah,

 

Misha  57:15

weasel, but I think that's more insulting to weasels than it is to make sure it doesn't sit right like human category. I

 

Tyler  57:24

would agree with that. Yeah, but I just say it just stood out to me. Also, it's like the snake the snake a snake can

 

Misha  57:31

see how snake like I can.

 

Tyler  57:34

Just rampant. Another reason why I screwed should not get more higher than one and the girl just rampant. But this is Launchpad doing it. But Scrooge doesn't really care too much like just ramping destruction of ancient things to get to the end goal. Oh, taking something bothered

 

Misha  57:49

me so much when they ruin those ancient ruins or relics. I want to say ruins because it's not what it is. But at the beginning, it really bothered me and then when Launchpad was like, at least they weren't new. And I'm like, You're such a fucking moron.

 

Tyler  58:08

For liking Launchpad and DuckTales. But he's a fucking buffoon. He's He's awful.

 

Misha  58:14

He's too stupid for me. i

 

Tyler  58:15

He's really nice. Yeah. And and then Scrooge is like, when they find the treasures like some of this is going to be donated to museums for tax breaks. And he's like, fuck you.

 

Misha  58:24

Yeah. Also,

 

Tyler  58:26

just like yourself belongs in a museum deserves

 

Misha  58:28

to have all of his money. No, right. That's the other thing. I got you and I know, we can talk about what belongs in museums and what does not belong in a museum? Yeah.

 

Tyler  58:42

Yeah, so right. I think it should lose points. I mean, I wanted to give, I think, yeah. Are we gonna say?

 

Misha  58:50

No, go for it.

 

Tyler  58:53

I, yeah. So we gave Aladdin minus four for basic, you know, mostly, I mean, you were championing the movie, because, you know, we've gone over this many times. I think this is this is like, Aladdin was accidentally racist. I accidentally might not be the right word, but like they stumbled into tropes and things that they've repeated and I put they think, I think they're trying to tell an entertaining story. This is more like hard hard. Look at these funny haha we're making fun look at these funny brown people like that sort of thing. Yeah, like a poo in The Simpsons is funny because of his accent. And it's like, you know, that's that's problematic. So I think this should get like maybe a minus five instead of my like,

 

Misha  59:35

that's what I was gonna say.

 

Tyler  59:42

And for effervescence, I think it's a good duck egg. It's a goose egg. I don't really see any effervescence to this. Like, do you any like Disney magic to this so

 

Misha  59:53

I don't now, but before I watched it in my head Hart, I felt Disney magic just like thinking about it like, but it felt really different from what I remembered, and I didn't get me. And I'm like, kind of sad because it was fun, and I thought I'd love it. But there really wasn't much Disney magic.

 

Tyler  1:00:20

Yeah, I think it's more it's like it's more it's fun and like the nostalgia of seeing the genie again and hearing the DuckTales theme. Yeah, man, it's all a duck blur for sure. But it was a duck blur but then it became clear when I saw but yeah, I don't know like I don't at most like maybe what did we give like a one two if we just given a 1.2 Anybody like

 

Misha  1:00:43

we have

 

Tyler  1:00:44

to what brave Brother Bear Brother Bear got one other bear gotta

 

Misha  1:00:48

one. Because there was some like actual magical parts that I thought a little bit I don't think this gets

 

Tyler  1:00:56

I don't think this gets anything. Yeah, it's it's fun and like if kids would that unlike the dog movie, this movie like would still be fun for kids. I think

 

Misha  1:01:06

you know what's disappointing. It's called the treasure of the last land right treasure of the last lamp. I wish there was more of the adventuring at the beginning and finding the lamp and there was of the kids shenanigans of the ice cream sundae the toys coming alive like I want. I wanted less about the kids and more about the magic of the lamp and the adventure the adventuring parts of it. Yeah, and I think it would have been better.

 

Tyler  1:01:36

Perhaps the movie suffered from like, again, like a too many cooks type thing. Maybe too many production teams

 

Misha  1:01:42

where it's really like Huey, Dewey and Louie, so we need to like shoehorn them in

 

Tyler  1:01:48

and to be honest the treasure of the lamp was the genie so and he's in it quite a bit or they're in it quite a bit so I don't know but I see what you mean like the the the Indiana Jones aspect of this the adventure

 

Misha  1:01:59

Yeah, I love adventuring movie is and yeah this didn't feel it didn't have enough of that. And I wanted to see more of merlocks Castle Oh yeah, like being in power. I wanted more of that. Yeah, like more time with him being a dad

 

Tyler  1:02:20

Exactly. Yeah, and like the the this movie is what 70 Something when it's long 72 or 73 minutes right? And like the dark night of the soul for Scrooge comes at like the 50 minute mark and then like the wrap up like the climax and wrap up is like four minutes long. Yeah, it's all like the castle like when the castle morphs like all the cool sort of grotesquerie is and things like awesome. I wish there was more of that. Yeah.

 

Misha  1:02:46

Ben, if they he got away and we see him sort of like thinking about what he wants to do now that he's got his power back again like spending a little time in his castle and then the ducks figure out Launchpad takes his plane this is what they do they I know I don't like Launchpad and I said no to him but they take get launchpad to fly them further. So we get more time Yeah, that's what I think should have happened. Yeah,

 

Tyler  1:03:16

make and just give the side characters more to do or if like if, because Launchpad is a total waste waste away.

 

Misha  1:03:22

Just like we gotta go get Scrooge he's on the castle. Let's just say

 

Tyler  1:03:26

hang by Hang on. I got an idea. So yeah, Scrooge is in the castle. They gotta get there. But a falling like gargoyle maybe even controlled by Merlok clunks Launchpad on the head knocks them out. So there's no pilot but wait, the made

 

Misha  1:03:45

I was gonna say MC BP Leakey.

 

Tyler  1:03:48

Mrs. beekley in her older days before being a maid was like a nurse for the RAF or whatever. And she flies the plane and it's her bringing the kids to go so that's cool. Yeah, she gets maybe she even gets like a cool I don't know

 

Misha  1:04:03

when you see her like roll up her sleeves

 

Tyler  1:04:06

exactly do like we I love movies that have like yeah, like a lady that you didn't like expect expect or the audience didn't respect her enough and then she just totally wrecks house I'm What am I thinking of what Miss I'm thinking of clock lady clock from from Robinhood

 

Misha  1:04:26

fucking love Lady clock. Yeah, lady. Yes. They should have gotten inspo from for this. Yeah, I can't wait till we get to Robin Hood. Yeah, it's always way but I'm

 

Tyler  1:04:38

also kind of the castle and this made me want to see black culture and again, which we haven't

 

Misha  1:04:43

seen it, which it's called The Black Cauldron

 

Tyler  1:04:48

culture and yet so it's okay. It's I thought like once and I don't remember anything. I remember the books better than I remember the movie but I I want to see like

 

Misha  1:04:57

castles. Yeah, and it's Disney. Same is awesome.

 

Tyler  1:05:01

Yeah, and it's like Disney's dark movie that that like was Yeah. I've never seen it shoot too dark for television. So yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of mustard. Let's just say that there's a lot of mustard in that movie. Anyway, all right. What's the grand total?

 

Misha  1:05:17

All right. The grand total for DuckTales the movie Kolon treasure of that last lamp is drumroll Ooh 34 Show Hello. Hey, that's love is

 

Misha  1:05:32

pretty. out cars three.

 

Tyler  1:05:35

Sorry three. Pizza

 

Misha  1:05:39

beads. This is upsetting dinosaur did better for the duck tails the movie How the fuck did that happen?

 

Tyler  1:05:46

Dinosaur has a cantilever gave Aladar fucking four but it's all like middle of the road characters that were not

 

Misha  1:05:54

an asshole. The kids are flat.

 

Tyler  1:05:58

Yeah bipod won the

 

Misha  1:06:01

show Yes. Brutal understand, watch DuckTales the movie Colin treasure of the last lamp multiple times again that I would it ever watch dinosaur not once. Never.

 

Tyler  1:06:18

That's that's how the cookie crumbles. We said the same thing. Like we would prefer to watch Atlantis again over dinosaur but that also squirrel. Like we just got to times sometimes. Just got to look at the hard facts and realize that like

 

Misha  1:06:32

it's really the fun factor category that it's a factor category. It's like it's like, Will you watch this again or not?

 

Tyler  1:06:41

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. 34. Okay, well, that, that objectivism for

 

Misha  1:06:50

you? Yep, objectivity is the word that I was looking for. And

 

Tyler  1:06:57

coming up next is an old classic with a with with not a little bit of controversy, which we will certainly get into Dumbo. And yeah, so looking forward to discussing what

 

Misha  1:07:13

I was. Right. So Dumbo is a perfect example of what I was imagining our entire podcast to be like, right, like, we watch these Disney movies and then talk about them and what's wrong with them or what's right with them? Yeah, so I'm excited. Instead,

 

Tyler  1:07:36

we get a lot of we've just got a lot of like, like, just crap along with the, with the, with the highs and lows.

 

Misha  1:07:46

I'm excited to watch Dumbo because I know it has problems.

 

Tyler  1:07:51

Yeah, I don't remember. I. I don't remember ever. I mean, of course my memory might not be correct here, but I don't remember ever being a huge fan of it. I remember watching it a lot. But I don't remember being like a movie I really, really loved but maybe when I was like five or something it was I can't remember. I'm ready to tear it a new mustardy butthole though for sure.

 

Misha  1:08:15

It gives you a big mustardy butthole because they're elephants. So yeah. of mustard. It's

 

Tyler  1:08:23
