White Fang (1991)

When I was younger, I read the Great Illustrated Classics version of Jack London’s White Fang. While I don’t remember what it was about other than something to do with a wolfdog, I do remember enjoying it along with The Call of the Wild.

So when I discovered that Disney had made a film adaptation of the novel, I figured that would be my reintroduction to the story. Did I like the film or would this turn out to be just another animal-centric live-action Disney film? Read on to find out!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

Whoo, have we got a stinker for you today! A Hollywood remake of the French film, Un indien dans la ville, Jungle 2 Jungle received overwhelmingly negative reviews, yet performed moderately well at the box office. You can never trust audiences, can you?

Anyway, let’s get this over with! Read on for my review of the John Pasquin-directed Jungle 2 Jungle!

Trenchcoat (1983)

During the 1980s, Disney released four films, in particular, that were considered more adult than their usual family-friendly fare: Condorman, Dragonslayer, Tex, and Trenchcoat. This led to the creation of Touchstone Pictures which would allow them to continue releasing more adult fare without jeopardizing the Disney image.

Today we’re taking a look at the last of those four films, Trenchcoat! Is it any good for what it is? Read on to find out!

G-Force (2009)

Before I ever started this blog, I had considered G-Force to be the absolute worst theatrically-released live-action Disney film ever made! I knew I would eventually have to watch it again for this blog, even hinting at it in my Old Dogs review way back in 2013!

Now the time has come for me to finally rewatch G-Force! The question is though: will I still consider G-Force to be the worst theatrically-released live-action Disney film ever made? I know it definitely will be bad, but I’ve seen a lot of bad theatrically-released live-action Disney films since then, so will G-Force surprise me by not being the absolute bottom of the barrel?

Guess we’ll just havta find out! Read on for my review of G-Force!

Condorman has a reputation for being one of the least-known as well as one of the worst films ever made by Disney! I knew the day would eventually come when I would have to see for myself if I agree with the consensus. Unfortunately, that day is now! Without further ado, here’s my review of Disney’s Condorman!

Holes (2003)

I remember how big a deal it was when Louis Sachar’s novel, Holes, was released! I feel it quickly became a new classic in young adult literature that everyone would eventually read. I myself read it when I was younger, although to be honest, I didn’t remember much from the novel other than a character who ate sunflower seeds.

It wouldn’t be long before a film adaptation of the novel would be made, however I never saw it until now. Read on for my review of the Disney/Walden Media film, Holes!
