But I think I've just grown out of that phase of liking giant car-robots. Shame really.. since there's a new one coming out with Churchill, Nazis and.. King Arthur? Or something. I can't remember if it had Churchill but Nazis and King Arthur were in it for sure.

The first <i>Transformers</i> movie is probably the one film I can kind of sit through in its entirety and not wince entirely since <i>The Rock</i> but it's still shit like everything Michael Bay has done since <i>Armageddon</i> which are just absolutely unwatchable.

But at least I know (and also picked) the other two. I absolutely loved The Lego Movie and I also loved playing with them. Transformers was enjoyable. The second wasn't terrible, but the third, I didn't like that one. Not to mention the last one.

I haven't seen the other two, though I've seen some bits of Small Soldiers but never front to back.<br /><br />I almost sat this week out since the only title that came to mind was that abomination Robin Williams movie “Toys” but after poking around, looking at it from a side angle, more films that have something to do with toys, and cheating on my last I finally came up with three.<br /><br />Babes in Toyland aka March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934)-In Toyland Stannie Dum (Stan Laurel) and Ollie Dee (Oliver Hardy), live in a shoe along with Mother Peep, Bo Peep, a mouse resembling Mickey Mouse (actually played by a live monkey in a costume), and many other children. The evil Silas Barnaby who wants to marry Bo Peep holds the mortgage on the shoe. Barnaby offers the old woman an ultimatum – unless Bo Peep agrees to marry him he will foreclose on the shoe. Widow Peep refuses, but is worried about where she'll get the money to pay the mortgage. Ollie and Stannie scheme to get the money including making wooden soldiers for Santa but bungle that (building 100 wooden soldiers at six feet tall, instead of 600 soldiers at one foot tall). After many false starts and chicanery happiness prevails.<br /><br />Pinocchio (1940)-Toymaker Gepetto carves an almost lifelike marionette who he names Pinocchio. Lonely he wishes that Pinocchio was a real boy. Overheard by a fairy who grants his wish and assigns Jiminy Cricket to watch over Pinocchio on his quest, the two start on a journey that will lead to him becoming that real boy. Classic Disney with many great songs including When You Wish Upon a Star.<br /><br />Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)-This is a cheat since it is a TV special but at least it’s seasonally appropriate! Narrated perfectly by Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman this tells the story of poor Rudolph who is born with a bright red nose making him an outcast, all of the other reindeer use to laugh and call him names…they’d never let poor Rudolph play in ANY reindeer games! Feeling isolated he runs off to the woods and meets elf Hermey, a frustrated wannabe dentist, and the two forge a friendship but run afoul of the Abominable Snow Monster. On the run they meet prospector Yukon Cornelius and the three flee to the Island of Misfit Toys. Returning home later they find Rudolph’s family threatened by the Abominable Snow Monster but manage to save the day until a blizzard blows into town causing Santa to consider cancelling Christmas. But wait! Santa goes to him and says “Rudolph with your nose so bright…won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” “Then how the reindeer loved him! As they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in history" As an added bonus all the Misfit Toys at last find happy homes!!joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
