Ahsoka: Part Five: Shadow Warrior (2023)
Boring
After four decent episodes, esp the last one, this was really dull. I literally took four attempts to finish this episode because I kept falling asleep. Nothing happens, the whole sequence with CGI Anakin was pointless. A boring search over the sea and then they get inside a giant sky whale who for some inexplicable reason knows how to get to where the others went.
Also the bridge of the starships are so naff and cheap looking, knock off Star Trek but with uniforms that look like sanitation team or hospital orderlies. X wings fly about grumpily complaining about running out of fuel. Ahsoka gets fished out of the sea, they should've let her drown.
I'm hoping they pick up the pace next week. So far this series is nowhere near as good as Andor or Mandalorian.
One Froggy Evening (1955)
Everybody likes the Michigan rag
Including me.
One of the greatest shorts ever made. Maybe the greatest. I love it.
Long-Haired Hare (1949)
Very good
I love the bugs vs Elmer opera cartoons. My two year old daughter loves them too which means I have seen this about 30 times. This one of the ones I still like to watch but if splitting hairs I'd say not as good as what's opera doc or the rabbit of Seville.
Enjoy
Figaro and Frankie (1947)
Pales in comparison to Tweety and sylvester
This was actually released the same time as the first Tweety and Sylvester. And you can see why they didn't bother to make many more once they saw it.
Not up to Disney's usual standards, up till Minnie's appearance you could be forgiven for thinking this is a low budget Russian animated version of Tweety & Sylvester. It lacks charm, esp scenes of Minnie beating the cat with a broom which seems out of character for her.
The History of Time Travel (2014)
Entertaining
I really enjoyed watching this documentary again. The first time I saw it was on VHS in the 1980s. I lent the tape to my brother and he lost it. Then I found the DVD that he'd lost around 2000. I wish I'd had a brother because I think we'd enjoy watching this together. Anyway, now that's it's streaming me and my bro were finally able to watch it for the first time. Great movie
