...and this sequel, which he hates isn't one of them...

LET'S BASH 'IM!!!!

Now, I'll agree with him that, this sequel is pretty damn weak and forgettable. I much prefer "The Rescuers", and, no, not because of those *beep* Margery Sharp novels, which he just can't resist a mention, but no one else really cares, 'cause NO ONE ELSE LIKES THOSE STUPID BOOKS! I, myself, barely got through book 2 in the series ("Miss Bianca") and even that was pretty weak. "Patience" in that book was NOTHING like Penny!!! Penny was a cute, sweet, adorable little girl; Patience was a raggedy wrinkled, undersized grandma!!! They said she was EIGHT??? HA!!! She looked more like she was 80!!!!!

And even Madame Medusa, who was rather atrocious in the movie, still managed to be likable and hammy; her book counterpart, the Diamond Duchess, had a face that could literally KILL YOU jut by GLANCING at it. But, hey! If gorgeous Penny shamed Medusa's so-so looks by quite a few miles, than it's only appropriate that not even Patience's ugliness could top the Duchess's.

Oh, and did I mention that Patience doesn't get forced into treasure-seeking? Instead, she merely scrubs the palace's diamond walls, 'til her hands fall off, and prick her fingers on the Duchess's wig until they (her fingers) bleed. What a BORING thing to be rescued from!!! Even Penny's situation of swimming in a sea cave, and almost drowning, sounds like TONS of fun compared to Patience's bore. Not that I could really feel sorry for an ugly, wrinkly old grandmama, anyways.

Let's see... what else can we jab him about?

Oh, yes!!! While "Alice in Wonderland" IS undeniably one of the weakest Disney films between 1937 and 1981, "The Jungle Book" and "Robin Hood" (especially the former) are most certainly NOT!!! They're fun, whimsical, entertaining, you got it! "The Jungle Book", in particular, has amazing songs, great character development and an interesting Indian jungle setting, complete with awesome animal characters, complete with PERSONALITY!!!

Last but not least, the "classic" age at Disney TRULY ended with "The Fox and the Hound" in 1981 (1977 was a great year for Disney, but it continued on for a few additional years, if you ask me). It was the last film any of the Nine Old Men (in this case, the final three, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston and Wolfgang Reitherman) worked on, and had a lot of sentimental value, and was the last animated feature under Walt Disney PRODUCTIONS, before MICHAEL EISNER took over the company and caused everyone to call him the devil, and allegedly turn Disney into an EVIL EMPIRE!!!! <8O!!!!

Umm... Hello, it's apparently been nearly a MONTH since I posted this and no one's bothered to respond to me. Or had anything to agree with that Taran Wanderer 2 is a stuck-up, know-it-all, who treats all other users like idiots and sh*t.

At VERY LEAST, he's recently claimed on the board for the original "Rescuers" (1977), that the 2003 DVD is FINALLY going out of print, signaling (HOPEFULLY) a new DVD, along with this sequel, which, again, he hates and ranted again. I don't like this sequel, either, but if they really are both going to be a 2-pack in Special Restored Edition, I'M DAMN BUYING BOTH! EVEN IF JUST FOR THE ORIGINAL; IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE BOTH, EITHER WAY! LOADS OF SPECIAL FEATURES ON BOTH FILMS!!!

So, any other ranters against TW2??? I'm open... >:)

[–] simbabarellroll 12 years ago

Might as well do this.

TW2 states that the last good Disney film was Rescuers, and has said on The Lion King board that the Renaissance were an insult to the classics. If you hate the 90's Disney films, why post on their boards? And many people prefer the Renaissance films to the films from "Fantasia 2000" to "Winnie the Pooh".

[–] ZakkWyldeMyLittlePony 12 years ago

I agree that he/she is a real @$$hole to anybody who likes this sequel and claims people only like it for nostalgia (he/she needs to learn to speak for his/her self); That's bull$hit, I thought this film had some great jokes and an all star cast including John Candy and George C. Scott. Plus I can't help but laugh at his/her arguments with WeirdRaptor on The Lion King board.

[–] idonnowho 12 years ago

UPDATE: Taran Wanderer 2 has apparently NOW moved on to the board of "The Fox and the Hound" (1981), WHICH HE ALSO SEEMS TO HATE!!! Guess he was just too bored ranting about the exact same damn stuff on "The Lion King" (and to a lesser extent, "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin") boards.

He says Chief the Old Hunting Dog (not Copper, the titular one) was a ruthless, hateful antagonist, and should have DIED. If you ask me, Quierido Taran, I'd agree that killing Chief may not have been such a bad idea, after all my Mom had her complaints on Amos and Copper wanting revenge, too. But saying he was a ruthless, hateful antagonist just ain't true. He was just a crabby old dog with a heart of gold underneath (just look at the way he lovingly lets baby Copper snuggle up with him at the beginning!) Hell, he had the same voice actor as the Sheriff of Nottingham in "Robin Hood" (1973), or, to your appeal (since you hate "Robin Hood", too), Luke the Muskrat with the whisky in "The Rescuers" (1977). You were glad they got rid of Louis Prima and Phil Harris from that film, but didn't mind them retaining Pat Buttram, despite his involvement in two of your LEAST favorite Disney films??? WEIRD!!!

Taran Wanderer 2 is a fool. The Rescuers Down Under is FAR superior to the Rescuers. Where is he/she?! I'll gladly have a long and pointless argument over this matter.

[–] idonnowho 12 years ago

It's been a damn long time (or so it would seem) since the Gingerhead Taran even posted anything interesting (or at least WORTHWHILE) on an animation-related board. I'll admit I'm beginning to MISS that opinionated scamp. It would be nice to (ONCE we have ENOUGH complaints against him) forward this Taran-bashing thread to him.

If you're looking for him (it's a "HE", for the record), try posting something criticizing his beliefs on one or more of the following boards: "The Rescuers" (1977), "The Lion King" (1994), "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) or (to a lesser extent) "Aladdin" (1992). He won't give up an argument easily, lemme tell you THAT, which may or may not be to YOUR own good (hopefully NOT to his!!!) Either way, HAVE FUN!!!

P.S. You, Henry J. Sosenite seem to prefer this sequel. I, myself, do not (read the original post), if not simply because of how overrated, disappointing and Penny-less it is... But to each their own...

[–] idonnowho 12 years ago

A while back (apparently quite a few years ago, actually) Taran Wanderer 2, who insisted that "The Rescuers" deserves better, even than its 35th anniversary combo pack (which I agree to a fairy great extent, is true), and who has since trolled his way through boards on films he despises (though OCCASIONALLY on ones he likes, as well, posting POSITIVE remarks), created a petition which still stands online, and I just looked at. And it now has over 800 signatures! Is Taran ever going to forward that signatures petition to Disney Home Entertainment, and get what most of us (but ESPECIALLY him) want for the film, or is he merely going to complain about the lackluster 2-pack, with the sequel he hates...?

P.S. Ole TW2 hasn't seemed to post anything (at least nothing truly interesting or worthwhile lately... I wonder what he's been doing lately...>:)

[–] idonnowho 11 years ago

Sorry it's been so long, folks. I still continue to hope that the thread-subjected bastard (Ole Wanderer 2, himself) will get his just desserts for being nothing but a troll most of the time. Indeed, I'm only sorry no one else has posted an anti-Taran comment on this thread in a while (though I'm still eternally grateful for the complaints and hatred geared towards him I've received thus far, thank you ALL who contributed).

Any more takers are welcome. The more negative posts on this thread, the better.

[–] Taran_Wanderer_2 11 years ago

x1,000,000.

Wow! Just wow.

EDIT: Now that I've actually taken a minute to scan through this bucketful of nonsense, just let me get this straight. You're brewing all this ridiculous hatred simply because I have not forwarded my petition to WDHE? Interesting. Normally I get bashed because I express strongly opposing views than other people and am firm about them, but this is just INSANE.

Not to mention that I have forwarded the petition and other people have done so for me as well. The "fans of The Rescuers" community may be a relatively small one, but we're certainly not proud of counting a LUNATIC such as yourself as part of it.

Just wow.

It's funny that even though you shouldn't "tolerate" me, you always seem to be sniffing my trail to everywhere I go.

The funny thing about me getting bashed is that it is always by the same couple of pests, which is why I laugh it off with ease. For the record, I'm not particularly shattered by the fact that you've ceased to show me courtesy, as you may have guessed by now.

Anyway, this thread remains hilarious.

I'm whining? I'm sorry, but there's a fine distinction between laughing at something and whining about it. Am I bothered by this? No, I find it pathetic, specially when the "founding" member of the club demonstrates to be mentally challenged. I don't even recognize the rest of the posters, so naturally, I couldn't care less about their opinions on me or anything else.

i read your reasons for disliking the rescuers down under and they are very vague. sure, you're allowed to dislike the movie, but the reasons you are bringing up are still vague. it's understandable why you like pocahontas and hunchback, but your reasons for disliking rescuers down under are laughable.

[–] Taran_Wanderer_2 10 years ago

Why did I know you'd find your way to this thread created by another pathetic little moron like yourself? I've told you, your life is laughable.
