It was such a missed opportunity to turn Ellian into a monster in Spellbound, so I designed her myself.

Like they were so close to doing it too, grrr

Today I watched Spellbound (2024) on Netflix with my mom and it was amazing and beautiful

[weebatron9000]

I watched the New Netflix Movie Spellbound and maaaan, I liked that shit.

Don’t read this if you don’t want spoilers man.

Some of the songs sounded very-this is a sooooong, because it rhyyyyymes~- and that was a little annoying, but I also quite liked some of them, and will likely look for them on Spotify later.

The animation was good! I don’t think they were trying to be revolutionary or anything, so for what it was I really liked it, lots of colours and a cutesy style even for the eviiiiil part (That was clearly spaghetti fine rogue) and i especially liked the different character designs and the concept art at the end. I always like looking at the starting point (even if it’s something better than the final concept -cough- Frozen-cough-Wish-cough-)

The STORY? the TWIST? first of all, let me say that if my captain of the guard didn’t waste ten seconds to try and ship me to the other end of the earth, they would be DEMOTED to CAPTAIN OF TOILET CLEANING. I know they’d been monsters for a YEAR, but A, all they did upon entering the public was scare sheep, and B, I would at LEAST make sure we had exhausted every option before BANISHING THE RULERS OF YOUR COUNTRY (i target this to everyone except the Princess).

Anyway I know it’s not that deep, but it made me scowl.

Also the Story itself had some pretty serious meanings? A kid being forced to grow up and shoulder heavy responsibilities, the reality that you can’t always save a marriage, and the parents realising that they’d neglected their kid because of their own issues.

Shit WAS that deep, while also managing to stay very bright and easy to follow as a kids movie. I also liked the ending, it was sad, but also still very happy ending-like for them to still be a family despite the parents divorcing. That shit is RARE.

Anyway, this wasn’t a revolutionary movie, and I’m not gonna compare it to anything else, but it was cool, I cried a little, I want pretty much all of those magical creatures to be plushies on my bed (damn that’s good marketing).

Anyway (again). Solid film, cool vibes, sad times, cheesy ending (in a cool way).

I don’t know if anyone has seen that new Netflix movie Spellbound… but I think I found Libby's villain song to Matias if she had actually confronted him for abandoning her.

Just watched this:

VERY pretty film, wonderful creatures, great music.

Themes? I've got mixed feelings.

(mild spoilers after the jump)

At last, a movie that gives a child character a voice about the shit their parents put them through. Not sure I've seen that before, not in this genre anyway.

At the same time, the kid has to give the parents absolution before the story can be resolved. I think she should be allowed to stay angry and broken up about it, and it still be on her parents to fix things.

But maybe that's too much to ask of a fairy tale.

I LOVE the griffin cats. I really want one.

The amount of marketing for Spellbound I’ve seen in Los Angeles is disgusting. Who in their right mind would heavily market a shitty movie made by a company with the involvement of a harasser? Even Luck was smart enough to only stick with Funko Pops and Michael’s events. This on the other hand…had more merchandise and marketing.

A large burning canvas could be seen in the distance.

The neat fingers, full of small dents from the friction of the sword handle, caught a small flame, which immediately went out from faint pressure.

There was silence, a living silence, one of those that strains with its sound. A warm wind heated his battered, but carefully polished armor.

"You want to say something"

"I want" Blurr answered, turning sharply to the dark silhouette behind him that was quietly watching him until now. He clenched his fist with a grinding sound, where the spark died out, and demonstratively opened it towards the darkness. "And this is how you are paid for making the world freer! This is what remains of your legacy, and you react as if it doesn’t concern you at all!"

"It does not concern me anymore" the figure answered him calmly.

"Shockwave, stop!"

"Is that an order?"

"It's a request” His angry expression made it clear that this request was an obligation. “I just don't recognize you for these few months." His hand shook slightly with anger. Black smoke seeped through the cracks in his armor.

"I don't recognize myself for even longer time." Blurr visibly trembled at these words, realizing where the dialogue was leading. Shockwave slowly approached, his long, deformed fingers, three times longer than one of Blurr's fingers, carefully reached out to his hand and wrapped his palms in his huge paws, kneeling down to be on the same level with him. "Blurr, I-"

Blurr turned his head away so as not to see one piercing, but such a swampy dim light of his terrifying eye, which had become more precious to him than his weekly knightly brigandage. "Shut up. It's too early, we haven't agreed on when exactly to do this"

The dull mass of metal, which was only a tangible casing, after some hope of catching at least a spark of doubt, only lowered its head heavily. The crackling of the fire continued to be heard around. The soot reached them, gifting them with at least some warm light among the shades of cold before dying. Realization, regret, reluctance were not reflected in the knight's optics. His armor, always proudly looking into the face of danger, now reflected only the cowardly lights of the fire from behind. Despite this, he did not remove his hand from the strong lock until the blades themselves parted. Shockwave disappeared. Disappeared as he had done for the past few months.

Blurr turned back to the burning wall. From afar were heard screams, squeals, grinding, clanking. The column of fire did not subside, as if it was fed by fuel from secret reserves. It had been burning like that for hours, as if to show the greatness of this building over others that would have left only a column of smoke long ago.

Shockwave's last school of dark magic was burning out, as was the will of its creator to live.

Me watching the new Netflix film Spellbound:

This is cute. What could possibly hurt me about this film?

“A young poc girl has to deal with the reality that her parents aren’t perfect and trying to pretend otherwise is only causing her more pain.”

Ah.

“Also her parents aren’t perfect and getting a divorce after realizing that they were harmful to each other. And the daughter just turned 15.” - Same age I was when my parents divorced

Anyone notice how Kiyoi stands tall at the isolation and bullying from people who were his friends? He never gives ground.

And I realized that is who Hira is in love with. Kiyoi is beautiful and he stands out for it. But thats not what makes him a king or a God in Hira's eyes.

Its Kiyoi's strength. His confidence. How he is ambitious about becoming a celeb. Qualities that Hira sorely lacks.

In Kiyoi's episode he says, that once they realized he wasn't special they left. And its because Hira never stops seeing Kiyoi as incredible, Kiyoi starts to believe it too.

Hira isn't just feeding Kiyoi's ego, he's pouring affirmation and attention into a neglected child who grew into a heavily armored man.

And its just so incredible that both these men truly SEE each other. And because they do, they help each other become better people and reach their potential.

I effing love this show.

Spellbound is SO GOODDDDD AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ilovescaredysquirrel2]

Spellbound is NOT a bad movie, y'all just mean 😒

I hate John Lasseter as much as the next person but he just helped produce the movie, he didn't MAKE it himself. Also, this is a creative movie with an original idea, unlike Toy Story which is a Raggedy Ann knock off. Quit calling Spellbound a knock off of Disney musicals, just because it's an animated musical! It's NOT a knock off and it's not bad either. It's a beautiful story about how broken families can cause trauma for children and I can't expect so much heart and beauty from Disney nowadays. Disney went downhill after Elemental...

The songs were pretty cute, the one song was a little stupid but the majority of the songs were good. It wasn't as amazing as The Wild Robot, but it was still pretty cute. Like, not everything has to be amazing to be good! It had a beautiful story with a lot of symbolism to family trauma and growing up, plus the designs were really creative as well. It took place in a fantasy world and the designs they did for the creatures were really cute and creative. I also love that they tried their best to show diversity, despite it being a fantasy world (like different skin colors and everything, and no characters are stereotyped). I also like how they showed different body types and none of the characters are sexualized in any way. Apparently Princess Ellian, the main character, was supposed to be 15, and I thought she was 11 or 12 at first. To be honest, I like that they made her look younger for her age, it makes me feel better about myself (I'm an early bloomer who stopped aging LOL). It's not unrealistic expectations like how Disney designs some of the princesses.

The story is great, the music is okay, and I think this movie deserves a little better. Also, I don't wanna completely hate on Rachel Zegler either. Yeah, she seems stuck up and even though I agree with some things she said about that old Snow white movie, I also think she went to far and was disrespectful. I don't think she's ugly or talentless like a lot of other people say about her, she just doesn't fit for the role of Snow White. Even if you're outraged over her disrespecting an outdated Disney movie from your childhood or whatever, she is talented and pretty. Don't be too mean! I'm not really a fan of Rachel Zegler, I'm just saying that she did very good in this movie!

Anyway, tell me what you think! If you disagree, please let me know! If you're gonna hate on it before watching Spellbound, watch it and then tell me what you think!
