The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

As part of my quest to watch all the Disney movies, I watched The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh yesterday, which left little impression aside from my sudden strong sympathy with Rabbit. I never cared much for Rabbit as a kid - Rabbit is a fussbudget - but watching it now, Rabbit has spent months working on his garden and he’s just bringing it in for the harvest and Tigger bounces in and spoils everything.

And he never even apologizes! Even though they will clearly go hungry now that the food is all ruined! No wonder Rabbit wants vengeance.

Oh, and I liked the animation style: the book illustrations that come to life. Who hasn’t wanted to see book illustrations do that?

In other news: SNOOOOOOOOOOOW! Actually, we do not have enough snow to justify quite so many Os; it’s just a dusting on the trees and grass (and, of course, my car). But still, the first snow of the season!

This was making me think about what kinds of gay-abandon destruction scenes we're able to enjoy without any worries and which ones are upsetting. Lots of chase scenes in action movies involve overturning fruit carts or crashing through plate-glass windows or smashing things in a china shop or what-have-you. We're not supposed to mind about those things (though we would if it were a different type of movie and were focused on, say, the guy whose livelihood depends on the sale of the fruit in the cart), and generally I don't, but sometimes--say if the destruction takes place in a museum, or involves something that obviously took a huge amount of effort, or is a one-of-a-kind thing, then I find it kind of painful and sometimes downright unfun to watch.

The movie Bringing Up Baby ends with a T. Rex skeleton collapsing in the middle of a museum. I cringe every time.
