The Sunday Watch (27): 3 WEEKS SINCE MY LAPTOP DIED...

 

The Sunday Watch is a meme for bloggers in general where you talk about what movies and TV shows you have watched for the week.  This is like a weekly wrap up post where you discuss about your week with other bloggers, with discussions about movies, TV shows and shorts being the main attractions of these posts.  The goal of this meme is to discuss the various movies and TV shows that bloggers have watched with other bloggers and discuss our opinions on each movie and TV show being talked about.  If you haven't watched any movies or TV shows for the week, but you still want to participate in this meme, then you can talk about other things that don't deal with movies and TV shows, like video games, books or whatever personal thing happened in your life.  This meme is hosted every Sunday, but you can make these posts anytime of the week and also, if you participate in this meme, please link your Sunday Watch post in the links down below!

Hey everyone!  So, you are probably wondering about where I have been for the last few weeks.  Well, my laptop broke down and I wasn't able to get online for several weeks because of it.  Right now, I'm using my dad's computer at the moment until my laptop gets fixed.  But, I think it's time to get a new laptop.  Unfortunately, I don't have the funding to do so and I'm trying to find ways to get some more funding to get a brand new laptop.  Does anyone have any advice on how to get more funding for a new laptop?

* I finally checked out this movie and man, was this movie even better than I thought it was!  I actually wasn't going to watch this movie at first, because it's about war and I don't like war movies.  But, this film was quite different from other war movies and it's probably one of my favorite films of the year!

(HBO MAX)

* I rarely watch films directed by M. Night Shyamalan and this movie just so happened to be on my radar. Man, I really enjoyed this movie! It's really different from Shyamalan's other movies as it's not a horror movie and it doesn't really have a plot twist. But, this movie was pretty enjoyable to watch!

* Oh  man!  I can't believe that "Ranma 1/2" has officially gotten a new remake!  I've been watching this remake and so far, I'm really enjoying it!  It really captures the spirit of the original 1989 anime series and I can't wait to check out more from this series!

[TV SHOW REVIEW] The Bremen Town Musicians (1993)

 

OR

Title: The Bremen Town Musicians

Starring: Bob Hoskins

Genre: Comedy / Fantasy / Germany / Animals / Fairy Tale

Company: Rabbit Ears Productions

Directed by: John McCally

Year: 1993

MPAA Rating / TV Rating: N/A

Buy on:  Amazon

The story starts off with a donkey who has become so old that he can't do anymore work on the farm.  Because of this, the farmer decided to kill the donkey and when the donkey finds this out, he decided to run away from the farm and go out to the town of Bremen to start a musical band. Along the way, the donkey meets up with a dog, a cat and a rooster, who are all also running away from home and they all decided to form a band together.  But along the way, the four friends ended up coming to a den of robbers and they decided to try to sing to them in order to not be killed by them.

So, I've been familiar with the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians" for years now and I was surprised that Rabbit Ears Productions actually made their own version of this classic fairy tale.  I really enjoyed the late Bob Hoskins' narration for this story.  To be honest, when I was younger, I only knew Bob Hoskins through "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and there, he was able to pull off a fantastic American accent.  It was only when I watched "The Bremen Town Musicians" that I realized that Bob Hoskins is actually British.  Anyway, Bob Hoskins did a fantastic job at sounding so energetic with the characters, especially with the cocky rooster.  Another thing that I liked about this story was the music by Eugene Friesen. The music was very well done and I loved how kooky yet catchy the music sounds.  I also really enjoyed the story as it's rare to read a story about a bunch of animals trying to form a band together.

My only issue with this story was the artwork.  While I enjoyed David Johnson's artwork in other Rabbit Ears stories like "Thumbelina" and "The Boy Who Drew Cats," I felt that the artwork here was a bit too out of place with this story.  The artwork looked a bit too weird, what with the characters having cartoonish mismatched eyes on realistic bodies and that always made me feel a bit disturbed when watching this story.

Overall, even though the artwork clashes heavily with the story, this was such an enjoyable story to watch and anyone who is a huge fan of the Brothers Grimm classic fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians" will definitely enjoy this one!
