Zookstar's Animated Animal Movie Reviews #2: Bambi (1942)

Well so far, the marathon is off to a good start. And after taking a lookback at Disney's most popular animal flick The Lion King, we shall go back in time much further. Back when Walt himself was alive and making his first films. After the releases of fairytale classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio, Walt decided to take a new turn in his films. Realism. Sounds like a tricky job there doesn't it? So, his attempt to do that was making a film based on the 1923 Austrian novel, Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Felix Salten, in which his version is simply entitled:

Zookstar's Animated Animal Movie Reviews #1: The Lion King (1994)

Well, the time has come for me to begin my Animated Animal Movie Reviews. As I stated before, as a kid, I always grew fond to the animal movies of animation. That partially due to me being an animal lover, but I always found the characters more likeable, cute, interesting and I find there is more creativity to be done when doing this subject in animation and still to this day at the age of 18, that novelty has never worn off. Not one bit. Granted I know some people might have an opposite view since it would be hard to relate to characters that aren't human, but for me, as long as the characters are interesting and memorable, I see no big deal. Anyway, the first movie I have chosen to review is none other than:



Ah yes. Seriously people, what kind of person hasn't known this movie already? Just name me one person and I will show that they are lying out of their ass. To put it short, The Lion King has pretty much become the staple in Disney animated films. You can't talk about Disney without mentioning this movie. It is most people's favourite film of the Disney lineup, and why is that exactly? It could be because of the characters, story, music, animation, pretty much all the above. It also could be because it is part of the Disney Renaissance, also known as Disney's Second Gold Age, which had other memorable classics like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, etc etc. So now that we know what we're getting into, let's take a lookback on why this movie left a big mark in animation. (not to mention this movie was released the same year I was born. YAY lol)

Gexup - My Top Dozen Animated Movies based on an Animated Series

Animated movies based on cartoons banner photo Slide1_zps52af5efa.jpg


Being a huge fan of animated television series, I always feel that the best way you can satisfy its fans is to give the show an adaption to an animated film. It’s almost like a grand finale that’s bigger than a tv show finale or a finest moment for the characters of the show. Whenever there’s a movie that’s based on a show that I like, I always appear at opening day in my local theater.  There have been plenty of animated shows that managed to have their own animated feature but it has to be really popular to even get itself a theatrical release, which is something that doesn’t happen that often any more. But no matter, as long as it’s a feature length film, (theatrical release or direct-to-home movies) it is a possible contender to make it on the list but here’s the catch… in order to make it in my list they have to follow these rules:

  1. The animation quality has to be better than the show - I mean it’s a feature length film; they should have the budget to actually make something fantastic for us animation buffs.  If the animation quality is not much of an improvement over the show, then it looses its ranking to rise to the top or not even make it in this dozen list.
  2. The story has to be better than any episode from the show – It doesn’t have to be better written than the best episode of the show, but dammit we need to show the movie audience why the show is so good. They have to make a show that’s more memorable and exciting than the show. If you’re going to make a film based on a show, don’t ever miss the opportunity to 'wow' your fans of the show because it’s the grand stage that only happen once (or more if the show’s popular enough to have more film sequels)
  3. It has to be based on a cartoon or anime, NOT comic books – My list of the best comic book movies will be coming soon, but for now, I’m only focusing on the animated series that popularized itself to be on the big screen.  I can’t qualify a movie that’s based on a television series that’s base on a comic book because it’s the comic book alone that earned itself to make it’s own film release, not the television series that’s based on the comic book. Because there are shows that I really like (Batman: The Animated Series, Spider-Man, X-Men) that had a really great television series, but its source is comics. However, anime based on a manga is an exception because we North Americans are more familiar with anime than we are manga.
  4. The movie based on an animated series has to be animated – I cannot qualify a live-action movie that’s based on an animated series because they do not represent animation nor do they show the animator’s true potential. Plus there has been HORRIBLE live-action films that are based on animated series that bastardized the cartoons that we love. This list is all about the animated movies, and if it’s not an animated movie, then it can’t make it in this list.



Now with all that being said, I hope you have a better understanding with my very own picks. So let’s begin this list... and remember this is my list, not yours… and if you don’t like it, don’t bitch about it.

Shintai Reviews: Time and Eternity (PS3)


This is a review of Time and Eternity for the PS3. This game was developed by Imageepoch and Satellite Studios. This game was published and localized by NIS America.

TheHande & T-McBee - Top-10 Hottest Men and Women in Video Games.

We team up to bring you two lists, one with the hunkiest and cutest men in video games, the other listing the sexiest and prettiest women in games. Me and T-McBee joined forces so that both genders get to experience some hotness.

Click on Dante if you're a lady (or a guy who likes guys) and click on Nico if you're a dude (or a girl who likes girls).

Please don't take the lists too seriously and as always, enjoy...


TheHande - Eternal Darkness, Finale: Pelvic Thrust



Finally, my very first Let's Play has come to a close. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem has been my favourite of the LPs I've done, it's gone through the most phases of development and I've had some great moments on it with Ville.

Cendoo - Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship Review


One could only imagine the reactions when first reading the script

Watching Cutscenes with T-McBee - Episode 2 - "Ew! She Eats Rabbit Poop Too?"


I do NOT own the following content in this video, except for my voice. This video was made for fun and critical purposes only.

"Singing, making clicking mouth sounds and being silly at 1am. What a way to entertain everyone!"

Here's a new comedy series where I watch a scene from a video game and make random commentary about it. The things I say is improvised (for the most part), which make me sometimes screw up during the recording. These game cutscenes can be from games I've played, I haven't played, liked or disliked. Anything can happen in these videos.

Here are the following games that I look at the game sequences and events from:

- Harvest Moon 64
- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
- Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
- Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One
- Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
- Star Fox Adventures

Legit Animation Podcast - Episode 4 - Warner Bros. Animation Studios




Today is the first anniversary of the Legit Animation Podcast! In this episode of the Legit Animation Podcast, we a joined with Amuia and Retrokaiser. Since it's been a long time since we've done an episode, we decided to go full force with this episode by going through the animation news, now in motion - where we discuss about what we recently seen that revolves around cartoons, and rendering through reviews. In this episode's Rendering Through Reviews we review the following animated film, cartoon, and comic book - The Road to El Dorado, Home Movies, and Saga.

And in our Animation Topic of the day we go over Warner Bros. Animation Studios. It's really interesting to see that during the Disney Renaissance, this studio was having difficulty problems being over shadowed by Disney in the animation department and also having multiple box office bombs. Together we all look at the theatrical animated feature releases, live-action mixed with animation films, and even the animated features distributed by Warner and see why they are an animation studio that has a rocky reputation with animation. And finally by the end of the episode, we get a chance to read your mail in the mailbag segment since it's been so long since we've read your mail regarding to cartooning. We sure hope that you enjoy this episode of the LAP starring T & G! (That is our new gag for the show)

Raggedstar - Balto 2 - Dream of the Sky - Tribute To Aleu


Click here for the official upload of this song. On the link also is where it tells you where you can buy music and support Gav so he can continue to make awesome songs like this. I also didn't use the full song, so check that out.

This is a song about Bioshock Infinite (if you couldn't tell from the first word of this segment), but there are no obvious spoilers in this or the video. The only one is pretty vague at best without context. It's also a damn fine game, so I highly recommend it anyways.

Balto 2 up 'till now has been something I just plain never knew how to use (along with Princess Mononoke). So...here you go I guess! Just a quickie video (took me a week to finish) about Aleu's adventure and the raven guiding her. I'll put more detail later.

Shintai Reviews: Ico (PS2,PS3)


This is a review of Ico, specifically of the HD version, but unless I say otherwise, most of what I said applies to both version.

This is the first game developed by the aptly named Team Ico and in a sense set the groundwork for the next game Shadow of the Colossus. You can get both games in an HD Collection known as The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection, the two best versions of the games.
