Hello, I'm Levi the Garage Movie Guy
Yeah I'm not in my garage. If you want to know more about that
I'll put a link down below to a video where I talk about it.
But today I'm gonna talk about animated movies
This is something I've been passionate about my entire life
I've always liked cartoons and some of my favorite movies are animated films
I was one of those kids that woke up early on Saturday mornings
I got my cereal and sat in my PJs in the living room
I would watch cartoons until there was the other boring stuff on TV, whatever it was
I've also always had an affection for animated films, especially Disney films
In fact until I was about 14, I was pretty obsessed with them.
A lot of the movies I'm gonna talk about today are Disney films.
Let's jump right into it. I'm gonna talk about my Top 5
Childhood Animated Movies
The first movie I want to talk about is at number five not because it's my fifth favorite
It might actually be closer to the top could breach the number two or number one slot even but on a technicality
I'm gonna put it as number five and that is
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and the reason I'm putting that at number five is because it was actually a collection of three
previously released
animated shorts and the three animated shorts that make up this film are
Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree,
Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day
and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too
And I've always felt a lot of affection for that silly old bear.
This movie in particular when it was released on blu-ray
I just had to own it
and I previously mentioned John Fiedler, the voice of Piglet in my "Odd Couple" review
"Making an 8 o'clock plane to Florida. I told you that when I sat down"
and if you have not experienced any of the older original Winnie the Pooh cartoons,
then I highly suggest you check them out
Some of the later movies are pretty good. But to me, there's nothing like the old animation and the old voices
It's just really special and I think something I liked about the show was that it captured what it was like
To be a child and have that imagination when all your stuffed animals and toys would come to life.
Before Toy Story
that's what we had, Winnie the Pooh.
For my number four animated childhood film we go from bears to foxes and talk about
Disney's Robin Hood, and I've always enjoyed sort of
swashbuckling adventure type movies and
this number four slot was actually a tie between Robin Hood and
Jungle Book, I really enjoyed both movies as a kid
But quite honestly, I watched Robin Hood more and I think the reason was I just liked the characters
There are so many zany characters in this movie. I especially like Prince John and Sir Hiss
Sire, Sire
Did you see what they
Stop hissing in my ear!
and of course the music in the film is really cool because the narrator is Roger Miller
*the tune to "Whistle Stop" is being whistled*
And if you don't know who Roger Miller is he was a country in western singer in the 60s and sang
novelty songs songs with titles like
"Dang Me"
"Do-Wacka-Do"
"Chug-A-Lug"
and of course my favorite
"You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd"
Which gives you some good advice actually
when it says you can't change film with a kid on your back
which I imagine is true
but
Now that I have kids I don't have to worry about that
because you have digital cameras and I just have to snap like this
On my phone.
But anyway, that's beside the point.
We're talking about Robin Hood
I've just always enjoyed the story of Robin Hood coupled with the beautiful Disney
Animation of these animals and the voice-over work from the very talented voice cast
It's just always been one of my favorites
And speaking of favorites right in the middle in my number three slot
It's Lady and the Tramp
I love dogs. I've always loved dogs. when I was a kid
I remember every year for I don't know two or three years
I asked Santa Claus for a dog and specifically I asked him for a cocker spaniel
I never got one but this movie is the reason for that and you know
most of the reason I liked this film as a kid was
Because of the dogs in it.
This movie like a lot of the others in my list does have a lot of great music in it.
I will warn you that there's one song in particular
that has not aged well, we'll say
so be warned going into that
But if you put that aside the rest of the movie is a really fun and enjoyable movie
It's about this cocker spaniel who lives with this wealthy family in this fancy house,
you know, she's got a nice shiny new collar
She runs into this rough-and-tumble Tramp character and they kind of clash but they also kind of like each other
You haven't fallen for that old line now, have ya?
Aye, and we've no need for mongrels and their radical ideas.
Off with ya now! Off with ya, off with ya!
Okay Sandy
The name's Jock!
Okay Jock
Heather Lad of Glencairn to you.
Okay, okay, okay
This trope has been used over and over but
This is one of the first places I was exposed to that and this movie also is probably largely responsible for the
Unrealistic view I had of relationships when I was younger because I thought
Everything was like Lady and the Tramp and you fall in love
and it's so beautiful and while that does and can happen
There's all sorts of other stuff that come into play
When you have a life with someone.
This really prepared my heart to be a romantic heart
And this romantic heart has always had room
For a tale as old as time
In fact, it happened in the Land Before Time
Like any kid, I grew up loving dinosaurs
This film, I feel like it's a staple of
Growing up in the 80s and 90s
The Land Before Time, if you've never seen it
a group of baby dinosaurs try to make their way across
The prehistoric land to this mythical place called the Great Valley because starvation is rampant
And they've been separated from their parents
So they have to find this lush verdant Valley of wonderful tree stars
this movie is just so much fun to watch as a kid because it's it's got that sort of Goonies flavor of
Kids going on an adventure without adults, but it's different in a lot of ways number one. Of course. They're dinosaurs
But also they get into some pretty hairy life-and-death moments, but they form bonds with each other
sometimes their personalities clash with one another
Three-horns never play with longnecks!
But in the end they come together and they do the job
They need to and this journey is sort of kicked off by this
Earthquake that happens and through a series of circumstances early in the movie.
Littlefoot loses his mother
That's one reason this movie always stood out to me as a movie apart
From the other animated movies that I watched
And it's also visually different. It's not only tonally dark sometimes,
It's visually dark. Some of the scenes are kind of hard to see
But I kind of enjoyed that as a kid it stood out from the
Vibrant colors of Disney films that I watched and I mean what kid isn't gonna enjoy watching baby dinosaurs
My son sure does
And the Land Before Time has spawned I think eight to 12 to 15
I don't I don't know how many sequels this movie has
I don't feel like many of them are even close to what the original was in the form of quality
My son really likes the latest one. It's got a lot of music in it
And you know that was something else that set The Land Before Time apart is because there's no songs in the movie
There's music in the background but none of the characters sing
and this was really different from most of the other animated movies I saw as a child.
And now we're just gonna keep that Don Bluth love going
And talk about An American Tail
This was one of my all-time
Favorite movies to watch as a kid. This is the actual
VHS tape that I had and it's quite worn. In fact, it's way more worn than
The Land Before Time and I've talked a little bit before about music and movies. I used to love the music in this movie
I would wait in anticipation for every music scene.
I've recently been exposing my children to these movies when we watch this
I couldn't help but sing along to every song
If you've never seen this movie it's a very heartwarming tale about immigrants into America and
This little mouse here Fievel comes from Russia with his family.
They come with a promise of no cats in America this family of mice
Through this journey he gets separated from his family.
The movie is really about him trying to find his family but also
finding his fight and
Becoming a part of this wondrous land called America.
He meets a lot of fun characters along the way
There's a big cat named Tiger who is actually a vegetarian and he is voiced by Dom DeLuise
Who was a leading character himself
I like mice.
Oh no, not like that.
I mean, I don't eat red meat AT ALL!
And something I didn't talk about when I talked about the Land Before Time was in these
Don Bluth films a lot of times you can see the emotion in the scene through the colors that are used
Toward the end of the film when he is SPOILER ALERT! reunited with his family
They are reunited in this wet street and there's sort of this orange heavenly glow coming from all around them
My Fievel
I thought I would never see you again
Never say never, Papa!
When I think of animated movies
That's one of the scenes that pops into my head because it's just so vibrant and you can feel the love
emanating from the screen.
This movie also has, for young Levi, one of the most
Emotional songs ever from a movie.
In this scene Fievel and his sister who have been separated
His sister sort of keeps up hope that he's out there
but his parents are thinking maybe the worst has happened
They're both trying to go to sleep and they look out their windows and they see the moon
I'm getting teary. They see the moon and
When the nightwind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think were sleeping underneath the same Big Sky
Somewhere out there. If love can see us through.
These kids are separated and they look out the window and see this
Huge beautiful moon and they basically sing a song about
If you can see the moon I can see the moon and that means we're together
So now if I can pull it together and talk about this one song:
The kids are separated, they're looking at the moon,
they can each see it and they know each other's out there.
The movie that made me cry without even watching it, An American Tail
So comment down below some of your top animated films from when you were a child as I said
I watched a lot of animated films as a kid
I tried to keep this to the films that I watched when I was younger because as I said
I was really into Disney movies until I was 14 or 15
So I was really into the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin,
all those movies that were released around that time I watched a billion times
but these movies are really tied closely to my childhood
Whenever I watch them, I'm transported back to that time.
And the cool thing is I can share these movies with my kids now and
Hopefully you'll watch some of these with your kids if you have kids
If you don't you should watch all these movies anyway, because they're excellent films
I appreciate you coming on this childhood journey with me.
But while we're talking about Disney things I wanted to highlight
Another youtuber. I try to do this in all my videos
And normally I talk about other youtubers who talk about film but this youtuber in particular
He sort of brings my childhood back to me in a way
His name is Disney Dave
And he uploads videos that he has taken at Walt Disney World through the years
And one of his videos in particular. I'll try to find it and link it down below
Really threw me back to Disney World because he's taken videos since I don't know when he started going I think
Sometime in the late 80s, maybe or early 90s
But he has home videos that he's taken there since then and it's really amazing to see the park through that lens
It really is a window into Yesteryear
So if you have any affection for Disney or Walt Disney World,
you should definitely check out Disney Dave's channel
There's another reason I am talking about his channel right now, and that's because
Of this little guy. Beauty and the Beast was almost on my top-five list
But as I said, I wanted to concentrate on movies that I watched when I was younger
But Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite animated films, by the way
If you like the animated film and didn't see the live-action that was released recently. I suggest you do so
it was very enjoyable and they sort of answered some of the questions that people have about the
animated film and the problems that people have with it
but this is a little coin purse and
it's a character from
Beauty and the Beast
*zipper zips*
There we go
He is a character from Beauty and the Beast he is a teacup
Disney Dave had a little contest on his channel a while back
I wanted this to be a piece of "Garage Movie Guy Mail"
But that was a while ago and I still have the envelope around here somewhere
He was good enough to put "Garage Movie Guy" on the address label. I appreciate that Dave
This is a really cool prize that I won
He had quite a few disney items that he was giving away and you could mention which one you wanted and something I think it
Was a memory from Disney World, but I was lucky enough to win this I treasure it
I have it on my shelf as you can see
But I wanted to bring some light to Disney Dave's channel
If you like Disney, then you need to check out his channel right now. I guess that's it for me until next time
I'm Levi the Garage Movie Guy saying "Never Say Never Again"
It's not and that is Winnie the Pooh
Animated films from when I was a childhood when I was a childhood. Okay, it's not dang me. It's Damon
