The Chipmunk Adventure is one of the very first Alvin & The Chipmunks movies to hit theaters before the live action ones came out in 2007. This movie came out way back in 1987 just right before Land Before Time, Oliver & Company, All Dogs Go to Heaven and of course, The Little Mermaid. Did you know that one of the voice actors Ken Sansom, who voiced Rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh movies and series was in this movie? He voiced Inspector Jamal who helped Dave saved Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Chipettes from those kidnappers! A year later after he voiced Inspector Jamal, Ken went on to voice Rabbit in New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and other Pooh franchise for years to come before he passed away in 2012. Back to the Chipmunk Adventure movie, when it was released on the weekend of May 22, 1987, it was a moderate box-office success that grossed $6.8 million! One of the songs I love from the movie was "The Girls/Boys of Rock & Roll" along with the classic "Wooly Bully!" Even though this film is a classic, I know that this film will be passed down to new fans of the Chipmunks for generations to come. Here are the screenshots from The Chipmunk Adventure. Lasty, there are 3 Adventure films that I love, The Chipmunk Adventure, Pooh's Grand Adventure, and Barney's Great Adventure. All 3 of these movies are musicals!

[rabger-moving]

tbh aside from the voice another thing i dislike about winnie the pooh 2011 is i feel like they got rid of all Rabbit's feminine qualities? his hands are less delicate which was 1 of my favourite things about him, and he acts so differently to the Rabbit ken sansom voiced, does that make sense or do i sound utterly insane? LMAO. regardless i do like the movie! maybe im also a bit salty because they did ken sansom dirty by recasting rabbit with tom kenny without any warning despite him still being on contract with disney allegedly

right???? no youre not crazy or we might both be crazy lol but that annoyed me a little too. it is a very fun movie and i enjoy it!! and rabbit is fun in it!!! but his subtle feminine quirks are something that make him so interesting to watch (as a character but also just visually as far as the animation goes), and in the 2011 movie he was kind of stripped of all that. he was also a little more of a basic aggravated haughty stick-in-the-mud character which disappointed me a little even though i found him entertaining regardless. anyway yeah hard agree take my hand lets prance through this field of flowers together

[skwtches]

I figured, since I already shared this on twitter, I’d also post on here about a scene that I’m particularly fond of from The Long Goodbye (1973) featuring Ken Sansom as the colony guard.

Sansom in this movie is such a treat to watch honestly and I’m a real sucker for the energy he brings to his role here. Really solidifies this scene for me as one of my favorites from this movie.

[ulkaralakbarova]

When the gang from the Hundred Acre Wood begin a honey harvest, young Piglet is excluded and told that he is too small to help. Feeling inferior, Piglet disappears and his pals Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Roo and Winnie the Pooh must use Piglet’s scrapbook as a map to find him. In the process they discover that this very small animal has been a big hero in a lot of ways. Credits: TheMovieDb.

MID YEAR FREAKOUT BOOK TAG THINGY

Or whatever it is called I just saw a tik tok and felt like doing it even if exactly zero (0) persons are gonna care idc I'm sick so leave me alone

Number of books read this year so far: 55

1. Best book you've read so far in 2024

The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai, first book to properly make me cry since A Monster Calls a decade ago. Beautiful, heartbreaking, 10/10

2. Best sequel you've read so far this year

On pure enjoyment I'd say City of Vengence by D. V. Bishop (I'll count it as a sequel even though it's book 1 because I read book 3 first), on a craft basis Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel and Winter of the World by Ken Follett.

Obligatory shoutout to the seven Gereon Rath books I've read this year, I could never choose a favourite because I read them all in a span of like two weeks and they've all clumped together in a blob of Nazis and misery. (If pressed I'd say Märzgefallene, followed by Die Akte Vaterland)

3. New release you haven't read yet, but want to

The Women by Kristin Hannah

Dust Child by Nguyên Phan Quê Mai

A Divine Fury by D. V. Bishop

Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse

4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year

Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson

Rath by Volker Kutscher

5. Biggest disappointment

When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguru. Really didn’t like that one, especially the back third.

6. Biggest surprise

Augustus: From Revolutionary to Emperor by Adrian Goldsworthy. Not really the airport read I was expecting to pick up (granted, the only fiction book I had with me was The Name of the Rose and that’s not what I would consider light reading) but I enjoyed it a lot more than expected (tbh honest I thought it was going to spend the next decade or so on my shelf unread like most of my history books) and it really furthered my current love for history non-fiction.

7. Favourite new author (debut or new to you)

Colson Whitehead. I read The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys for the first time this year, and they were both masterful.

8. Newest fictional crush

error 404, file not found

9. Newest favourite character

Empress Messalina, who is not a character but a historical figure. You go girl, sorry you had to die and had your name dragged through the mud by misogynistic men for millenia

10. Book that made you cry feel physically sick

Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy Snyder

11. A book that made you happy

Gwen & Art are Not in Love by Lex Croucher

12. Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

13. What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

The 103 unread books on my tbr shelf

At the beginning of the year I set myself the goal of reading 12 classics (0/12), non-fiction (12/12), award-winning (8/12) and translated novels (3/12), so I'd like to finish that goal.

More specifically my priority tbr at the moment is:

Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell

Dust Child by Nguyên Phan Quê Mai

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

The Light Years by Elizabeth Jane Howard

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

In Memoriam by Alice Winn

Currently reading:

Dark Fire by C.J. Sansom

Philip and Alexander: Kings and Conquerors by Adrian Goldsworthy

Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

Not going to tag anyone, but if you want to do this feel free to consider yourself tagged, I love to see what other people are reading

Odette Brailly

Odette Brailly è stata la più famosa agente dei servizi segreti britannici, passata alla storia per i suoi atti eroici durante la seconda guerra mondiale, è stata una delle donne più decorate di tutto il conflitto.

Insignita della Croce di George, ha ricevuto diverse medaglie al valore, era stata nominata Dama dell’Ordine dell’Impero Britannico e in Francia, aveva ricevuto la Legion d’Onore, la più alta onorificenza del paese.

Nata ad Amiens il 28 aprile 1912, quando suo padre perse la vita nella battaglia di Verdun, venne affidata a un convento dove a otto anni si ammalò di poliomielite che la rese quasi cieca per molti mesi.

Nel 1931 aveva sposato Roy Patrick Sansom, con cui si era trasferita in Gran Bretagna, dalla loro unione erano nate tre figlie.

Quando il marito venne richiamato in guerra, rispose a una richiesta dell’Ammiragliato che invitava chiunque fosse in possesso di cartoline o foto  delle coste francesi a inviarle per scopi militari.

Aveva allora spedito le sue foto di Boulogne sur Mer, dove aveva abitato per lungo tempo, insieme a una lettera di accompagnamento in cui spiegava di essere francese e di conoscere bene la zona. Per un errore di indirizzo la lettera era finta in mano al SOE (Special Operations Executive), che l’aveva reclutata come agente segreta.

La sua prima identità era stata quella della vedova Odette Métayer, col nome in codice di Lisa, ebbe l’incarico di trovare a Auxerre una casa sicura per accogliere e aiutare gli agenti di passaggio. Ha condotto operazioni di spionaggio e sabotaggio nelle aree occupate dalle potenze dell’Asse.

Nel 1942 aveva lavorato come corriere agli ordini del capitano Peter Churchill, che era a capo dell’organizzazione Spindle. Si era occupata di procurare viveri e al mercato nero e di paracadutare armi ed equipaggiamenti destinati ai vari gruppi di resistenza. 

Quando i tedeschi occuparono la zona sud della Francia, venne arrestata.

Rifiutatasi di parlare venne portata a Parigi, nella sede dell’SD, il Sicherheitsdients tedesco che si occupava del servizio di spionaggio, dove venne interrogata e torturata per due settimane di fila.

Nella sua biografia racconta che le vennero strappate le unghie dei piedi, che venne bruciata sulla schiena con un ferro rovente e che a torturarla fu sempre un giovane francese, probabilmente malato di mente.

Le spie non erano tutelate dalla Convenzione di Ginevra, non erano prigioniere di guerra, potevano essere giustiziate in qualunque momento.

Nel maggio 1944, dopo più di un anno di detenzione a Fresnes, indebolita e ammalata, venne trasferita in Germania insieme ad altre sette agenti. Era l’operazione ‘Nacht und Nebel’ (Notte e nebbia), faceva parte dei prigionieri politici condannati a morte che sparivano senza lasciare traccia.

Nel luglio dello stesso anno, venne trasferita a Ravensbrück da sola, le sue compagne erano state tutte uccise. La lasciavano in vita soltanto perché aveva millantato una parentela col primo ministro inglese e i tedeschi volevano giocarsi la carta di un possibile scambio.

Per molti mesi, da sola in una cella buia e fredda, viveva lo stress di sapere che ogni mattina poteva essere quella dell’esecuzione.

Liberata il 1° maggio 1945, aveva impiegato più di un anno per ristabilirsi.

Nel 1946 è stata la prima donna insignita della George Cross, la massima onorificenza britannica per i civili. Dopo aver ottenuto il divorzio dal primo marito, nel 1947 aveva sposato Peter Churchill da cui aveva divorziato nel 1955, anno in cui ha sposato Geoffrey Hallowes, un altro agente del SOE in Francia.

È morta nel 1995 a 82 anni il 13 marzo 1995, a Walton-on-Thames.

La sua storia ha ispirato il famoso film Odette, del 1950, che aveva personalmente supervisionato per impedire che venisse falsata la storia.

Alle vicende che l’hanno vista protagonista insieme alla collega Violette Szabo sono stati ispirati i romanzi Fortitude di Larry Collins e Le gazze ladre di Ken Follet.

Nel 2012 è stato emesso un francobollo che la ritraeva.

[321spongebolt]

For the role of Stan Woozle, I would pick Tom Kenny, considering he and Rabbit were two characters Ken Sansom did while he was alive.

The Wikipedia page for the 1999 version of Alice in Wonderland lists two different men as the uncredited voice of the Pig-Baby. Someone needs to edit that cast list and cut whichever of those two credits is incorrect. I'd really like to know which actor really did provide that ugly puppet's howls and sneezes.

Was it Nigel Plaskitt, the actor/puppeteer who also voiced the Dormouse? Or was it the late Ken Sansom, a.k.a. the voice of Rabbit in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise for over 20 years?

I've tried to figure it out just by voice recognition, but without success. IMDB.com doesn't say either. Not that it's really important, because he doesn't even talk, he just sneezes and cries. But I'm curious. Was it Plaskitt or Sansom? Does anyone know?

The Tigger Movie (2000) dir. Jun Falkenstein

[adamwatchesmovies]

The Book of Pooh: Stories from the Heart (2001)

I know The Book of Pooh: Stories from the Heart was made for small children, but that excuse only goes so far. It has many charming moments and even as an adult I laughed numerous times, but this is not a great-, or even good-looking movie. Pieced together from episodes of the Disney Channel Playhouse television series, it’s essentially an anthology with Winnie the Pooh (Jim Cummings), Rabbit (Ken Sansom), Piglet (John Fiedler) and Tigger (also voiced by Jim Cummings) distracting themselves with stories from Christopher Robin's book while looking for their friend’s journal (Paul Tiesler plays Christopher Robin).

Before I talk about the individual stories, I need to address the visuals. Pooh and his friends are all puppets, which is fine as long as you don't compare them to the hand-drawn cartoons we’ve seen before. They blink but otherwise, their movements aren't fluid. You can tell they’re hand puppets whose limbs are moved by strings. Additionally, the characters are clearly shot against a green screen and then cut out using computer. Tigger and Rabbit suffer the worst from this choice, as their whiskers appear and disappear all the time. Then we get to the backgrounds, which are terrible. When we see a forest, it looks like something out of a 64-Bit video game: flat shapes positioned into a «+» to create unconvincing 3D objects. The puppets look generally fine but everything else is an eyesore. Will small children notice? I'm not sure but you're wondering about my opinion, so there it is.

Over the Hill

In this first story, Pooh decides to have a grand adventure by going over the neighboring hill and seeing what is on the other side. When he gets turned around and ends up back in where he came from, he assumes everyone he meets is a stranger that just happens to look like his friends.

This story embodies everything I like about Winnie the Pooh. Its a sweet, silly story with laughs and without villains or danger. The only portion which disappoints is a musical number by Pooh. It adds nothing to the story and isn’t particularly good.

Tigger's Replacement

Tigger decides to train Piglet to be his replacement so that no one (Especially Rabbit) is left without a Tigger while he goes on an adventure.  

Basically, I’ve got the same praises for this story as I did the first. It's simple, with some good gags and sweet moments. The song featured here is better than the first, but still nothing special.

Kessie Wises Up

This segment focusses on a character I'd never heard of before, a helpful bird named Kessie (voiced by Stephanie D’Abruzzo). She goes to Owl (voiced by Andre Stojka) and learns about all the different things birds are good at.

Not much to say about this one. It was alright I guess, played out as I expected it to.

Greenhorn with a Green Thumb

Tigger wants to become better friends with Rabbit so he asks his long-eared friend to teach him about gardening.

This one repeats much of what we saw in Tigger’s Replacement. Of all of the episodes, they couldn’t pick a Rabbit-centric one that was a bit more original? The message of this story (all of them have a message) is different though, so it’s not all bad.

Night of the Waking Tigger

Tigger realizes he wastes a lot of his time sleeping, and that while he’s in bed there’s bound to be missing out on excitement. His friends try to convince him not to “give up sleep”, with not-so-good results.

This is the story I enjoyed best (perhaps second best) out of all of them. It may actually appeal to any parents watching since children always like to stay up way past their bedtime. Consider showing this one to your bratty little spawn.

Eeyore's Tailiversary

It’s Eeyore’s Tailiversary (not to be confused with his birthday). The inhabitants of the 100 Acre Wood decide to throw him a surprise party, but that means having to dodge Eeyore’s questions and keeping secrets from him until the right time and place.

This Eeyore-centered tail contains a decent song, some humorous moments and shows some nice exchanges of friendship between the different characters. Like most of these stories, I don’t really have that much to say about it because all of the flaws are the same as in the first tale and the praises also apply. Note that Peter Cullen (who has voiced many classic cartoon characters) voices Eeyore.

The Book of Pooh: Stories from the Heart isn't even for kids, it's for children under 6. When you pop the disc into your player, the movie’s narrator even explains how the DVD menu works. Do I think the picture will entertain the audience it’s meant for? I do. That still doesn’t change the quality of the visuals. Nonetheless, I can’t deny that it’s good-natured, tender, and completely harmless so I'll concede and give it a recommendation for those too young to read this review.
