As a kid one of my favorite movies was Ratatouille (and it still is!), And one of the reasons for that is because the stakes are so low. The worst outcome is that Remy doesn't get to realize his dream of being a chef, or maybe that he's killed but that doesn't seem likely for the movie. Contrast that with something like WALL-E, where basically the continued existence of the human race and the planet Earth hang in the balance, or the scene in the Garfield Movie where he almost causes several passenger trains to crash and potentially kill dozens.
As a kid, I remember thinking that having such extreme life or death or even apocalyptic stakes for kids movies was unnecessary, it just made me feel stressed out and upset rather than excited lol
interesting take and i like it. anyone remember 2009's G-Force with the action guinea pigs?
Yes, what a great movie. It's surprising how it has been erased of the public conscience. Did it bomb?
i hope you mean what i mean when i say it's a great movie. they chose to include not just "I Gotta Feeling" by the black eyed peas, but also "Boom Boom Pow", and one of those they used in two completely separate scenes. good god what a 😎 level film.
Yes because I fucking loved guinea pigs at that age. Went to the premiere at the El Capitan and visited some attraction they had set up across the street even
