Pass it on

Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School

46Watch it awake.

A Saturday-morning kindness. The monsters' children are the neighbors. Fine for a young house, thin for anyone else.

The review

Shaggy takes a job he is not qualified for, which is the joke, and then he stays, which is the only moral the picture has room for. The girls are not a twist to be unmasked. They are students. Their fathers are the old monster names, played as worried parents rather than as a hunt. Revolta is the actual villain, and she is a villain because she would use the girls.

It is television animation from a cheaper decade. The songs are filler. The idea is sound enough for a child who is learning that a strange classmate is still a classmate. Do not pretend it is a story you discuss at supper. Put it on, then go meet someone.

Journal

Keep Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School in the record.

The glance

Industry and Piety are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest

59 instead of 46

FernGully: The Last Rainforest is still a animation film, and it scores 59 instead of 46. What you gain is piety: The forest is treated as a created thing with a claim on the people in it.

The eight

4
Industry
A job accepted, mostly by accident, and then actually done.
5
Household
Fathers who come for their daughters. A found crew that does not bolt.
2
Piety
Magic as the furniture. No reverence.
5
Courage
They stay when the school gets dangerous.
5
Republic
A school is the unit, and the plot is about not handing the students over.
6
Temperance
Mild. The scare is a costume.
5
Truth
The girls are what they say they are. The fraud is the woman who flatters them into a trap.
5
Stewardship
It hands a child a first practice in hospitality.

A Hard Day's Night

46Watch it awake.

Watch it awake, or put it on for the songs and the work. Nobody is asked to become worse.

The review

They have a television appearance to make, a train to catch, and an afternoon in which the city wants pieces of them. The jokes are at the expense of managers, advertisers, and anyone who needs the boys to stand still and be a product. The songs are the work, performed as work. Nobody is asked to betray a friend. Nobody is asked to be cruel to a girl. For a phenomenon as large as this one, that is a remarkable restraint, and I will credit it.

A family can put it on. The limit is that it is a day, not a life, and a day of fame is a thin diet if it becomes the only picture of adulthood in the house. Watch the studio session and ask who in the room was doing a job seriously. Include them. The screaming outside is the decade. The work inside is the part worth keeping. A very large cultural fact of 1964. The fact is not a reason. The songs and the decency are.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Singin' in the Rain

60 instead of 46

Singin' in the Rain is still a comedy film, and it scores 60 instead of 46. What you gain is courage: Telling the public the truth.
