Revenge of the Underrated

39. Over the Hedge vs Charlotte's Web (1973)

Vote in the other polls!

Propaganda:

Over the Hedge

it’s so so silly and also is my childhood

[darkeclipticheart]

Drawing that I did of Charlotte from the 1973 animated movie Charlottes Web. However I drew her in anime style.

[yaspup9000]

no joke, what even was Charlotte’s web 2? Like I really did believe originally this wasn’t gonna be a sequel to charlotte’s web until one of the executives went, hey let’s make this a sequel to charlotte’s web

like just at the last minute. And the weirdest thing about it is that this movie has a villain?! Like this Bad guy’s crime was just surviving and trying to eat? Which kinda defeats the purpose of the first film since there’s no villains, not even an antagonist just a story about life and death and change. Heck, Charlotte literally ate other insects so she could survive!

I guess the only threat in the film was maybe Wilbur getting killed and turning into Christmas ham or whatever. But even still it was just a very heartfelt and emotional story/movie about growing up and mortality, while the sequal on the other hand is just, yup! This is most definitely a kids movie with talking farm animals…

Day 69: Powerful song lyrics you love

How very special are we? For just a moment to be Part of life's eternal rhyme? How very special are we To have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around And so she changes her gown But they always look in their prime! They go on dancing their dance Of everlasting romance Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return to sing Oh, what a gift they give! Then autumn days grow short and cold Oh, what a joy to live!

How very special are we? For just a moment to be Part of life's eternal rhyme? How very special are we To have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time

Now that we've covered most 80s and 90s "nostalgic" faves....

Don't @ me if your personal fave is not on here. This is MY list of films from MY childhood that I watched over and over, alongside Disney movies. Unlike my previous "nostalgia" polls (80s and 90s, if you want to see the results), the only "rules" here are: non-Disney and fully animated theatrical films. Hence why I included films outside the 90s and Dreamworks as well lol

Happy voting! ❤

A few honorable mentions that I couldn't squeeze into the poll:

An American Tail & Fievel Goes West (I just didn't watch them often enough in my childhood to have them Stick With Me, even though I definitely enjoyed them. But my older brother loved them dearly and talked about them a lot, and I appreciate them a lot more now!)

The Land Before Time (yes, I did watch those absurd sequels - up until 7 ish? - and enjoyed the original, but was never Obsessed like my other peers. Perhaps Jurassic Park traumatized me too much to be fond of dinosaurs lol)

The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue (speaking of sequels, I remember the pet one?? pretty well? but not enough to call it a Childhood Fave)

The King & I (absolutely ATROCIOUS adaptation/film, btw, but my siblings and I delighted in quoting the stupid comic relief's lines because Kid Humor is broken lmao the amount of times our poor mother must have heard us go "I never want to see another mango in life" before dissolving into a fit of giggles.....)

Pippi Longstocking (idk I read the book and just was happy to see a beloved book character come to life)

Annabelle's Wish (definitely a STRONG honorable mention cuz I was oddly OBSESSED with the soundtrack for some reason??? but unlike other Obsessed With the Soundtrack movies, this one kinda.... disappeared into the ether of my memories, with only that One Song playing on loop when I think about it)

And finally: shout-out to We're Back, FernGully, Pebble and the Penguin, and Quest for Camelot for being weird-ass fever dream memories until I properly watched them after high school

Cats Don't Dance and Thumbelina are probably the closest things to "honorable mentions" on the poll, but I chose to keep them because I remember DISTINCTLY getting VERY upset over Darla Dimple's scheming in Cats Don't Dance, and feeling whimsically swept up in Thumbelina's fairytale romance. Whereas poor American Tail and Land Before Time didn't "latch onto" me the same way. Who can say why? Memories are a funny thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Academy Award-winning Jewish American songwriter Richard M. Sherman, one of the creative geniuses behind some of Walt Disney’s most iconic and timeless songs, died on Saturday at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills “due to age-related illness,” the Walt Disney Company announced. He was 95 years old.

The Walt Disney Company described Sherman as “one of the most prolific composer-lyricists in the history of family entertainment, and a key member of Walt Disney’s inner circle of creative talents.” The company added that it will announce at a later date its plans for celebrating Sherman’s life.

“Richard Sherman was the embodiment of what it means to be a Disney Legend, creating along with his brother Robert the beloved classics that have become a cherished part of the soundtrack of our lives,” said Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. “From films like Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book to attractions like ‘It’s a Small World,’ the music of the Sherman Brothers has captured the hearts of generations of audiences. We are forever grateful for the mark Richard left on the world, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family.”

Sherman and his late brother, Robert B. Sherman, made up the songwriting team known as the Sherman Brothers. Together they wrote music for the 1964 film Mary Poppins, including “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “A Spoonful of Sugar,” and the lullaby “Feed the Birds.” The brothers won the Oscars for Best Score – Substantially Original and Best Original Song for “Chim Chim Cher-ee.” “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” made it on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965 and “Feed the Birds” was one of Walt Disney’s favorite songs.

“You don’t get songs like ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ without a genuine love of life, which Richard passed on to everyone lucky enough to be around him,” said Pete Docter, chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios. “Even in his 90s he had more energy and enthusiasm than anyone, and I always left renewed by Richard’s infectious joy for life.”

Born on June 12, 1928, in New York City, Richard’s family relocated to Beverly Hills in 1937. He attended Beverly Hills High School and later studied music at Bard College. He was drafted into the United States Army and served as conductor for the Army band and glee club from 1953 to 1955.

Walt Disney hired the Sherman brothers as staff songwriters for The Walt Disney Studios after the success of their song “Tall Paul,” which sold more than 700,000 singles. The brothers together ultimately wrote more than 200 songs for some 27 Disney films and 24 television productions. Their credit included The Horsemasters (1961), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), The Parent Trap (1961), Summer Magic (1963), The Sword in the Stone (1963), That Darn Cat! (1965), Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966), The Jungle Book (1967), The Happiest Millionaire (1967), The Aristocats (1970), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), and The Tigger Movie (1998). Richard later wrote new lyrics for the live-action The Jungle Book in 2016 and two years after appeared in the film Christopher Robin, for which he also composed three new songs.

The Sherman brothers also wrote music for Disney theme park attractions around the world, including “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow,” “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room,” and “It’s a Small World.” In the early 1980s, they wrote songs for EPCOT and Tokyo Disneyland, including “One Little Spark” and “Meet the World.”

The Sherman brothers left The Walt Disney Studios in the early 1970s and went on to write music, songs, and screenplays for films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), Snoopy Come Home (1972), Charlotte’s Web (1973), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1973), Huckleberry Finn (1974), and The Slipper and the Rose (1976).

In 1972, the duo became the only Americans to ever win 1st Prize at the Moscow Film Festival for their film musical The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, for which they wrote the script and music. The brothers were inducted as Disney Legends in 1990 and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005. Three years later, the brothers were awarded the National Medal of the Arts.

In 2010, Richard and award-winning composer John Debney collaborated on the song “Make Way for Tomorrow Today” for Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2.

Over the course of his 65-year career, Richard received nine Academy Award nominations, won three Grammys, and received 24 gold and platinum albums. Richard’s father, Al Sherman, was also a songwriter.

Didn't Wanna Feel Old in 2023? Sucks to be You!

Happy 2023 everybody! It's a new year meaning I've got new goals to meet. Goals like finally publishing something, setting up commissions so people can pay me to do what I love, cross-posting between my account here and on deviantART, summoning more kaijus just so they can play elaborate games of poker, y'know, all that good stuff. It also means the return of my 'list of things that have reached a milestone anniversary' list. However, it seems like I've been doing this for so long that these lists have in fact reached their own milestone. From what I could tell, this is the fifth year of my doing this, at least on deviantART. If that doesn't make you feel right from the gate, I present the following:

If I don't mention this my buddy Volts48 won't let me rest; the highly influential sci-fi movie Metropolis turns 100 years old this year, meaning it is now in the public domain. I plan to take full advantage of this fact later, but for now I have the rest of this list to get to...

"it's just a kids movie/book/show" is it a diservice to everyone who's ever worked on something made for kids. it's someone's art. and just because some corporations shovel out mindless drivel for kids doesn't mean it's okay. it's a deserve good art too.

in light of that a list of kids movies/books/shows that have heart. that was someone's art. Not necessarily of quality or spectacular. but something someone put effort into in some way.

star vs the forces of evil

and this is only a list that I could come up with off the top of my head. I grew up loving animation particularly. I still do. but also I loved stories. especially stories that could make me feel things. and I love digging into stories. their themes and more.

to say "its just for kids" is not only to insult kids intelligence. it's to insult anyone who put effort in their art made for kids.

Babe/Charlotte’s Web crossover because I’m sure these pigs are nostalgic characters for many people (they sure are mine) 

I based Babe’s design directly off the 1995 movie obviously. Wilbur I didn’t design after any particular adaptation, just went with the original book where he’s often described as a white pig (though I guess he’s pretty white most of the time in the 1973 movie as well? idk VERY unpopular experience of mine is that the Charlotte’s Web movie that I personally grew up with was the 2006 live-action version lmao)

hey if you do a 70s non-disney animation poll, please include iconic classic watership down because its the best

So, out of sheer curiosity, I looked up 70s animated movies....... aaaaand there's really not much to go by. -.-"

Not only was that the beginning of Disney's own "Dark Age," the 70's Western animation amounted to:

anthology or package films (Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes, Disney, etc)

animated shorts or TV specials (Dr. Seuss, Peanuts, etc)

live-action mixed with animation (Bedknobs & Broomsticks, Phantom Tollbooth)

adult experimental films and porn. I'm not even kidding.

I managed to scrape up these titles that make the cut (and yes I included one from 1969 and 1980 because it's THAT hard to find stuff!):

Y'all. I literally STRETCHED to add as much as possible. FOUR of these are Peanuts movies. If anyone has additional suggestions, I'll either remake the poll or explain why it doesn't count (see above explanation).

Happy voting to anyone who actually knows these oldies lol ❤

A screenshot of a swedish wikipedia page titled "Zuckerman's Famous Pig". The page reads:

"Zuckerman's Famous Pig är en sång skriven av Richard M. Sherman och Robert B. Sherman till filmen Fantastiska Wilbur, och inspelad av Soundtrack 1973. Med text på svenska av Bosse Carlsson spelades den in 1976 av Magnus & Brasse, som Svordomsvisan."

Translated to english: Zuckerman's Famous Pig is a song written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman to the movie Charlotte's Web, and recorded by Soundtrack 1973. With lyrics in swedish by Bosse Carlsson it was recorded in 1976 by Magnus & Brasse, as "The Curse Song"

Decription end]
