The Black Cauldron

60Watch it awake.

Darker than the other Disney drawings, and the boy never asked to be a king.

The review

The other drawings from that Disney stretch usually let the animal land softly. This one lost money, and it is darker on purpose. A pig-keeper who did not ask for a crown has to keep a pig who can see, and keep a cauldron of the dead away from a horned king. That is the errand. It is not a coronation with extra fog.

If the youngest already frightens at a shadow, leave it on the shelf. If the house can take a sadder picture, watch the job rather than the king. He stays a boy with a pig while someone tries to put the dead to work. Tell it that way and the flop makes sense. Tell it as a failed cartoon and you have thrown out the only reason it was worth drawing.

Live Historic number 60. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

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

Consider this

My Neighbor Totoro

70 instead of 60

My Neighbor Totoro is still a animation film, and it scores 70 instead of 60. What you gain is household: Sisters and a father, waiting on a mother.

The eight

7
Industry
The work is a pig-keeper's, and he is not promoted into a crown.
3
Household
No marriage or child is the life at stake; a boy and a pig carry it.
6
Piety
Keeping a cauldron of the dead from a king is a refusal, not a mood.
7
Courage
He takes a hard job he did not ask for, against a king who wants the dead.
6
Republic
The cauldron threatens more than one boy, and the task is not a private prize.
6
Temperance
It lost money and did not train a line of brighter sequels.
6
Truth
The pig can see, and the boy has to keep that sight from the horned king.
7
Stewardship
What he is asked to leave is a world not handed to the dead.

An Arthur Thanksgiving

60Watch it awake.

A small holiday special with a real table. Fine for children.

The review

Arthur's neighborhood has always been better at ordinary friction than at myths. Thanksgiving here is cooking, guests, a snag, and a meal that still happens. That is more useful than a pageant. Gratitude that has not met a late aunt and a crowded kitchen is only a slogan.

It will not change a life. It may remind a room that the feast is the people who came, including the difficult ones. Put it on while you peel the potatoes.

The Iron Giant

73 instead of 60

The Iron Giant is still a animation film, and it scores 73 instead of 60. What you gain is courage: He stays up so the town can live.
