Wow, a response! Not only that, but a polite and thoughtful one too. Thanks! Anyways, on to my response.
Childhood nostalgia might not be a valid reason for you, but it is a reason and taking it out of the equation would be unrealistic
I admit that I'm unique in this aspect. I've found myself to be quite nostalgia proof.
I think my enjoyment of the film comes from the characters and ending. Froglip and his parents are amazingly fun characters.
I'm glad you enjoyed the characters in this. I didn't, not a single one. The heroes were beyond bland and forgettable while the goblins where grating and annoying.
And the flood running through the castle is intense for a children's movie. The ending doesn't play around, killing most if not all the antagonists
It was? I don't know, even as a kid I didn't find anything intense about the ending. And even if the goblins are killed in the end, which would be implied and not confirmed, I don't give brownie points for such things. Heck, most Disney villains end up dead in the end so this was hardly revolutionary or anything.
I think there is a lot to enjoy from this movie, but I completely respect your opinion and would like to know what other animated movies you dislike?
This is an odd question, usually people ask for movies they favor. But this is also a fun question so I'll answer it below.
The Fox and the Hound- Frustrating, dull, distracted, bland music, uninteresting characters, and all around poorly executed. I do really like the ending, it's a shame you have to watch the whole movie to get to it.
Rock a Doodle- So annoying, so grating, so painful...Don Bluth's worst easily.
Atlantis:The Lost Empire- Of all those cliche sci-fi animated films that came out at that time, this one was the worst. Boring, uninspired, and bad writing all through out.
Chicken Little- The absence of good in movie form. The worst movie in the Disney canon, with characters that are either dull as bricks or unnecessarily mean spirited. The movie itself comes off as mean and not in any practical way. The "comedic" writing is probably the worst I've seen in such a film.
Corpse Bride- Ugh, 2005 was a bad year. Chicken Little, Madagascar, and then you have this film. The name is appropriate as this film is a corpse. It's amazing how a movie has such an original idea and yet ends up being surprisingly dull and cliche. Add in some of the dullest characters, forgettable songs, Burton feeling like he's phoning it in, and you have the perfect recipe for sleep medicine.
Those are some I came up with. There's probably more, but this is getting long.
