'Yellow Submarine'
"Yellow Submarine"
To my understanding, the only reason "Yellow Submarine" was made, was because The Beatles had a three picture deal and didn't want to honor it, so they agreed to just have their voices recorded in a cartoon; less effort. It's difficult to justify this, since "Hard Day's Night", and "Help" were two of the most important films of their time, and defined an era in history by themselves. If The Beatles had known how important their cinema was going to be in just a few years time, perhaps they would have agreed to star in a third picture to allow the trilogy to be remembered as such.
'TMNT'
"TMNT"
There are few cartoons that stick out in my mind as predominantly as the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” cartoon. I look back at it with an adoration that doesn't really compare to any other cartoons of that era. I remember play-fighting as a child, while pretending to be Leonardo; I remember the classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up arcade games; I even collected the toys when I didn't really play much with Transformers or He-Man toys. I love these memories, and I love the original three films (yes, even "Turtles 3"). It is for these reasons that, despite my initial anticipation of a new Turtles film, I was worried the franchise may further distance itself from the quality of the many other forms the series has taken.
'Little Mermaid, The'
"The Little Mermaid"
I have gotten some flack lately about a lack of animated features being reviewed here at critical-film, so I figured I may as well go out and attempt to end the nagging with a glowing review of what I believe to be the greatest animated cartoon feature of all time.
