Taking things in a new direction, we switched out Disney, and put in a classic Aardman production, The Wrong Trousers. Rini has already taken a shine to some of Aardman's more recent work, and certainly enjoyed this production.
Wallace and Gromit are a very interesting pair: Wallace jabbers on and comes up with zany inventions, while Gromit, his faithful canine companion who never utters one word and whimpers very rarely, is the principle figure in carrying out these wacky plans. In the case of The Wrong Trousers, Wallace and Gromit get tied up in a criminal heist. I would have thought Rini would have more of a reaction to Feathers McGraw since she seems to be enamoured with penguins at the moment.
We were going to watch another Aardman short today, but Rini was insistent on watching Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure. That being said, we did have time for the short after dinner, but I was in the mood to play Rock Band.
I also discovered something rather disturbing regarding Disney movies. Most people remember the great shock when Bambi's mom died, but has anyone really taken a good look at the body count Disney has racked up as of late?
Up until the 1980s, Disney was keeping a pretty short hit list: Snow White's Stepmother, Bambi's mom, and who could forget Prince Philip's bold battle with Maleficent. Body count: 3. With Disney's 25th picture, The Black Cauldron, the Witch King was pulled into the cauldron after Gorgi sacrificed himself. Body count: 5. Then the witches "make a bargain" and bring Gorgi back. Body count: 4.
Then it goes up steadily.
Great Mouse Detective - Ratigan Body Count: 5
Oliver and Company - Sykes, Desoto, and Rosco Body Count: 8
The Little Mermaid - Ursula, Flotsam, and Jetsam Body Count: 11
Rescuers Down Under - McLeach Body Count: 12
Beauty and the Beast - Gaston Body Count: 13
Return of Jafar - Jafar Body Count: 14
The Lion King - Mufasa and Scar Body Count: 16
The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Judge Frollo Body Count: 17
Hercules - Meg Body Count: 18 (Later resurrected by Hercules - Body Count: 17)
Mulan - Soliders on the Great Wall(?), Scout, Chinese Army, Village, Hun Army, Shan Yu Body Count: Approx. 450
A Bug's Life - Hopper Body Count: Approx. 451
Tarzan - Clayton Body Count: Approx. 452
Dinosaur - Lots of Dinosaurs Body Count: Approx. 1000452
Atlantis:The Lost Empire - Everyone who wasn't under the crystal's shield when the
city sank, 85% of the submarine crew, Rourke, Helga Sinclair Body Count: Approx. 2000454
Treasure Planet - Billy Bones, Mr. Arrow, Mr. Scroop, a lot of crewmembers Body Count: Approx. 2000467
Brother Bear - Sitka and Koda's mom Body Count: Approx. 2000469
Finding Nemo - Coral and over 400 eggs minus Nemo Body Count: Approx. 2000900
The Incredibles - Numerous Supers, Syndrome, military personnel(?) Body Count: Approx. 2000931
WallE - Entire WallE Fleet minus Main Character WallE and Auto Body Count: Approx. 2001932
Up - Ellie and Charles Muntz Body Count: Approx. 2001934
The Princess and the Frog - Ray Body Count: Approx. 2001935
Hmm... Maybe I should get Rini to watch Tora! Tora! Tora! next. I think that has a lower body count than Dinosaur.

Movie Project: Day 6 - Alice in Wonderland
First, the good news: Rini sat through 95% of this movie. The bad news: Neither one of us really understood what was going on most of the time. Caitlin has a better handle on what Lewis Carroll was trying to get across in the book, and therefore has a bit more insight to the meaning behind the scenes in Disney's 13th full length animated production, Alice in Wonderland.
When the movie was originally released, it was met with scathing reviews, which makes sense. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a parody on the upper class manners and protocol of British society, the which to be displayed in a cartoon format would send it over the top in terms of whimsy and inanity.
All of a sudden, I'm not surprised Rini was able to stay seated for most of the film.
I thought that she would have been completely attentive every time the White Rabbit was on screen, but that wasn't the case. Of course, this movie has a lot of characters and a lot to take in, and the sequences don't really flow together. Then again, having five directors working on the movie didn't help much either. Nothing is explained, mostly because the explanations would take another three movies, and wouldn't be nearly as entertaining.
That's not to say the movie was a waste of time. The classic animation style was very fluid and conveyed the appropriate sense of chaos which was prevalent throughout all the Wonderland scenes. Nevertheless, knowing the artists studied Nazi films as reference footage for the card scenes was rather creepy.
Rini's biggest reaction was when the Cheshire Cat made the Red Queen pull her dress over her head, thus enraging the Queen. At this point Rini got up and shouted, "I'M MAD!" I replied, "Yes, she is mad!" Rini didn't miss a beat and piped up, "ME TOO!" She calmed down for the last few minutes for her to see that it was all a dream, but I'm thinking that she'll have to watch it again to fully understand what was going on. And next time, I think she'll watch it with mommy, since Caitlin has read the book, and actually understands most, if not all, of the movie.
As for rewatch-ability, I asked Rini what she thought of the movie after the credits rolled, to which she had no response. Scaling it down a bit, I asked if she thought it was fun. A brief "yeah" was enough to placate my insecurity of showing this movie to my three year old daughter though the film has been known to plague children with nightmares for years. At least amoung some of my friends. Nonetheless, I wasn't overly worried because she has seen both Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline, and has not become overly warped because of it.
She's going to kill me in my sleep now. Isn't she.

Movie Project: Day 5 - Santa's Workshop & Pluto's Christmas Tree
There were a couple of features that I tried to watch with Rini today: Cinderella and Johnny Lingo (1969). With Cinderella, she watched about 20 minutes before she went to 'go look for mommy' and with Johnny Lingo she was constantly squirming and got up and left not even five minutes in. She came back around the middle for the wedding feast, but I think that was more of an accident.
By the end of the day, we were faced with only a few minutes before bed, and I was thinking that I would have to strike this day. However, I knew that Mickey's Christmas Carol was not that long in run time, and might work as a last minute feature.
I decided to err on the side of brevity though, and instead we watched two of the three other shorts included on the disc. I knew she had seen Small One before, but Caitlin said to try Santa's Workshop first, since she was less familiar with it. It's a cute, whimsical little short typical of the Silly Symphonies, and Rini particularly liked the penguin toys!
After those six minutes of simple, yet charming animation, we watched Pluto's Christmas Tree. This six minute short was cute enough that Rini wanted to watch it again, and being only six minutes, I figured I would indulge her. To say that there is any sort of lesson to be learned in this short would be a bit of a stretch, since the plot revolves around the miscommunication between Pluto and Mickey. Once Mickey snaps out of his indifferent state of mind and starts to strangle Pluto for wrecking the tree, he sees the two chipmunks, Chip and Dale, and he welcomes them into their home for Christmas, instead of chasing the vermin out of the house or encouraging Pluto to eat them. Still, it's cute, the chipmunk voices of Chip and Dale are enough to send you into giggles, and it has enough cartoon violence to tolerate two viewings back to back.
Was it the best thing to show her on Sunday? Probably not, but it was short, and she actually sat still for everything. As an added bonus, she went to sleep with little to no fuss! I'm just hoping that we can build up her attention span so that she'll sit through Toy Story 3.

Movie Project: Day 4 - Dumbo
Headed over to the in-laws today so my wife could have some room to cut out a pattern. Knowing this would require some concentration on her part, I knew it would be wise to bring along something to entertain and distract Rini from what mommy was doing. In this spirit, I felt that we could bring along Day 4's movie, Dumbo. I didn't know how long it would take to cut out the pattern, but I also knew there was a number of other features on the DVD, and there are a number of toys at Grandma and Grandpa's, so I wasn't worried.
After I set things up on the 50" screen (one of the pluses of watching a movie at the in-laws), we settled in to watch the Disney's fourth animated classic. The beginning credits were a little new for Rini, since she's used to modern films where the credits roll at the end, but the upbeat circus music kept her attention long enough for the movie to start.
I'm not sure what her opinion is on bird, but she does love baby animals, and you have to admit, the baby animals are adorable in this film. Watching this movie again, I found that there isn't a whole lot of dialogue in the first fifteen minutes or so, and Mrs. Jumbo only ever says two words in the entire movie. Dumbo himself has no dialogue at all, and thereby makes it very easy for kids to relate to the character since his only channel of communication is through body language.
Also lending to the lack of dialogue is the fact that the movie has six major musical numbers and one reprise at the end, though the clown's song, "We're going to hit the big boss for a raise," could technically count as another song. Putting that much music into a 64 minute feature does tend to crowd out dialogue.
Nevertheless, the movie still stands tall on the simple premise of Dumbo's plight as an outcast due to his physical anomoly, compounded with the seperation from his mother, who was put in solitary confinement due to her righteous indignation towards some rude teenagers. With the other circus elephants deciding to ostracize him further due to his unusual appearance, Timothy Q. Mouse attempts to correct this injustice and befriends Dumbo. Though it seems to be the perfect model of high school social circles, the only thing that Rini seemed to be attune to was the fact that Dumbo was sad. Then again, she doesn't quite have the communication skills necessary to relay everything that she understands, but this would not be the first time that I don't completely understand my daugther.
Whether Rini was able to fully appreciate the number "Baby Mine" with its wonderful demonstations of relationships between parent and child is beside the point. I'm just glad she agreed to sit with me during that song, because that song always makes me cry. Moreso now that I'm a father.
Immediately following the 'mother & child' moment, the movie leaps into the Pink Elephants. This was the moment that I wasn't sure how she would react, but she was in gigglefits when she saw Dumbo and Timothy drunk off their stumps. Something you don't see in animated productions much anymore, but I'm not about to put the Futurama movies on the list. Once the booze bubbles morphed into the Pink Elephants, she was moderately interested, but then took off and started playing with toys.
My sister-in-law told me earlier that the movie gave her nightmares when she was young, and I think this was the scene that did it. I'm not certain of that, and neither is she, but I'm just glad that she was alright with her sons watching the movie with Rini and myself.
I would have thought Rini would love when Dumbo learns to fly, and especially the crows, but much of the humour in that scene revolves around the dialogue, and especially all the double meanings in the song "When I see an Elephant Fly." It was a little above her head, as it was above my head when I first saw it.
Her interest held for the finale when Dumbo got his comeuppance, and when the sprayed all the other elephants with peanuts.
I've learned a few things from watching movies with my daughter, one of them being, don't watch movies right before bed. Showing this movie in the middle of the day, with her cousins, definitely helped Rini focus on the movie for the first half. A shame every day isn't Saturday.
Before I put this movie in, I knew it had a substantial rewatchability factor, and from my daughter's response, I would say she shares my opinion. I don't think it's in her top 10, but I would think Dumbo is in her top 20 somewhere.

Movie Project: Day 2 & 3 - Tinkerbell 2 & Opening Ceremonies
I am cheating big time on this one here. I know that I said I would get Rini to watch a new DVD everyday, and then do an entry about it, but tonight was too good an opportunity to pass up. Literal history in the making tonight with the Opening Ceremonies of the XXI Winter Olympiad in Vancouver, BC. Right next door! Heck, if we were living in Vancouver, I would have tried to go there! Barring that, we were able to watch it on TV, and we could watch highlights online if we want to.
At the start of the parade of the athletes, Rini was not very pleased at all with what we wanted to watch, and even shut the TV off at one point! She is a cheeky little girl, but when we told her that we were going to watch the Olympics tonight, she ran off to her room and cried for a little while. Eventually she came out, and started loading DVDs in our laps, but eventually she relented and resigned herself to playing while we watched. The only time that she really paid attention to what was going on was when they had the dancing performances, the moment of silence for Nodar Kumaritashvili, and the lighting of the cauldron which had a bit of a hiccup, but was still cool. By the time Wayne Gretzky was headed towards the outdoor cauldron, Rini was randomly throwing herself onto the couch. Yeah, she was done.
The day previous, I was able to sit down and watch a movie with her though. Mind, I think she was a bit more cooperative since she was the one who picked the movie. Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure is not by any means a movie that she was watching for the first time with daddy, but it was a movie that she enjoyed, has some good morals, good music, and has cute characters (fae and fireflies). I'm not sure what it is exactly that she likes about Tinkerbell, whether it's the CGI, the good story, or music, but it has an excellent mesh of them, as well as making memorable characters. This might be due to the Midas touch of John Lasseter; Rini takes a shine to most all projects he has been involved with, whether in a producing or directing role.
That being said, I'm not sure how much she likes Mickey's Christmas Carol although Mr. Lasseter was an animator for the film. Perhaps I'll put that on the list, since I was hoping to have Dumbo be the next feature we watch. The last time Rini saw that 60 minute marvel was about a year and a half ago. I would hope that she would be able to sit through that one at least.
Though I'm not sure how she'll react to the pink elephants.

Movie Project: Day 1 - Aladdin
My wife and I have an extensive DVD collection. Some titles, I am ashamed to admit, we have purchased and not yet watched. Some titles we have not watched together, and some we have not watched since we have bought them, but have watched previously.
In order to get some use out of these many titles we own, I figured it prudent also to educate my daughter about different movies. That, and I'm starting to get tired of watching Ni-Hao, Kai-Lan everyday. Thus today, I endevoured to break her out of the movies that she has cemented into her three year old mind by dusting off Disney's Aladdin.
This was initially met with a barrage of tears and complaining about how she wanted to watch Up instead, and I couldn't really blame her. Though Aladdin won Academy Awards for Best Original Song and Best Original Score, Up has three Oscar nods, one of them being Best Picture.
Nevertheless, Rini had protested a number of movies/shows that she later loved, such as Toy Story, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Fraggle Rock. I figured this would be just like any other. She would protest, and then settle down and watch the whole thing with barely any fuss.
Boy, was I wrong! The only reason that she tolerated the movie was because of Abu, Aladdin's spider monkey companion. She would screech like a monkey whenever he had screen time, especially during the first musical number "One Jump." She was quite enthused up to the point when the Genie appeared. After that, it was a challenge to get her to sit on the couch longer than two minutes. To say she had completely lost interest might be a bit of an overstatement, but she started to insist upon changing the movie out, and watch Up in its place.
Right before the "Prince Ali" number, I stopped the movie in an effort to calm my daughter down. At this point Caitlin was ready to give up on this for the day, and put in another movie to save us all from the incessant whining to change the movie. I was near ready to put in Veggietales to get some kind of peace, but I instead decided to continue with this 1992 Classic, disregarding the plea from my daughter, in the faint hope that her opinion on the movie would turn positive.
With the choice of watching of the movie or going to bed, Rini decided to stick it out. Having something to drink helped as well, and we all watched the rest of the movie with minimal fuss. She didn't seem to have any big reactions, positive or negative, for the remainder of the movie, probably since we were encroaching on her bedtime by the time the credits rolled.
Aladdin is going back on the shelf, and is probably going to stay there for some time. At least until baby #2 arrives.
Overall, I think Rini liked Aladdin, but it's not something I would bring on a road trip. Pixar still holds that crown.
