The Fox and the Hound

63Watch it awake.

They're friends, and the movie will not lie that the world agrees.

The review

A fox and a hound are raised as friends. Then the world tells them what it thinks they are, hunter and hunted. An old woman is in it. A hunter is in it. A child can watch. The sadness is on purpose, which is different from being mean for a thrill.

I would pick this over a brighter animal picture because the friendship does not get a lie for an ending. The love stays, and the assignment stays. If you need a story with no ache, it will disappoint you. That disappointment is the honest part.

The glance

Industry is the thin one.

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.

Consider this

The Lion King

74 instead of 63

The Lion King is still a animation film, and it scores 74 instead of 63. What you gain is industry: He leaves the work.

Pass it on

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

63Watch it awake.

The punishments are the old book. The factory is colder than the 1971 film. Read it that way.

The review

Charlie is still the child who has a family and almost nothing else, and the ticket is still a test the other children fail in public. Willy is stranger here, and the flashbacks make his oddness a wound rather than a mystery. That is a choice. It explains him. It also risks teaching that genius is a loneliness the world should indulge. The book did not ask for that much sympathy.

Watch it if the house already knows the story and can say which child is which. The gum, the television, the greed, the spoiled demanding: those four are the lesson, and they are still true. Do not come away wishing to live in the factory. Come away glad Charlie had a grandfather who would go with him and a family to bring the prize home to.
