Naruto: Shippuden(ナルト 疾風伝,Naruto Shippūden?, lit. "Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles") is the ongoing sequel to the original Naruto anime and covers the Naruto manga from volume twenty-eight on. The TV adaptation of Naruto: Shippuden debuted in Japan on February 15, 2007 on TV Tokyo. It is developed by Studio Pierrot and directed by Hayato Date.[30][45] ABS-CBN is the first TV network outside Japan to broadcast Naruto: Shippuden; it aired the first 40 episodes of Naruto: Shippuden, running the show through March 19, 2008. On January 8, 2009, TV Tokyo began broadcasting new episodes via internet streaming directly to monthly subscribers. Each streamed episode is made available online within an hour of its Japanese premiere and includes English subtitles.[46] Viz began streaming English subtitled episodes on January 2, 2009, on its official website for the series. The uploaded episodes include both previously released episodes and the new episodes from Japan.[47] Since October 2009, the English dub of Naruto: Shippuden started airing weekly on Disney XD.[48]
There's not much to this film. It's simply a saccharine sweet animal ABC Family Channel type movie.
Being that I love both dogs, AND Halloween, I figured this would be right up my alley. It's pretty much what I expected to see; Dad's crazy, misinterpreted motives and misunderstandings, cute dog is the smartest living being in the whole movie… Pretty much any standard cliché laid down by Walt Disney is brought to the fore here… But the results aren't all that unpleasant.
I felt Elisa Donovan made the movie… For me, anyhow. The two bumbling burglars also brought chuckles.
Apparently this is third in a "Dog Who Saved (insert holiday here)____________ Movies.
While I did like this film, I won't go out of my way to find the others in this series.
I guess I should note that I don't have any children. I might have given this film a much higher rating had I watched it with the eyes of a parent. But it is what it is.
Shrek gets in the Halloween spirit by challenging his fairytale friends to come up with scary stories for a contest. But the gang learn that they'll have to spend the night in Lord Farquaad's haunted castle before the winner is named.
Timon and Pumbaa start to watch the original Lion King movie, but Timon keeps insisting to fast forward to when they come in, because they weren't seen in the beginning of the story or anywhere until halfway through. Pumbaa suggests telling the audience their story, which begins before Simba's journey begins. Through this, we meet Timon's mother and Uncle Max, discover why he left his meerkat colony, where he learned Hakuna Matata, how he meets Pumbaa, and the perils they encountered while searching for their dream home.
Simba and Nala have a daughter, Kiara. Timon and Pumbaa are assigned to be her babysitters, but she easily escapes their care and ventures into the forbidden lands. There she meets a lion cub named Kovu and they become friends. What she and her parents do not know is that Kovu is the son of Zira - a banished follower of the now-dead Scar. She plans to raise Kovu to overthrow Simba and become the king of the Pride Lands. This tests not only Kiara and Kovu's relationship as they mature, but Simba's relationship with his daughter.
A free adaptation of Charles Perrault's famous Puss'n Boots, "The True Story of Puss'n Boots" is a story for young and old for the first time on cinema screens.

That's right, I saw The fucking Smurfs in 3D on opening weekend. Why did I do it? I don't know, maybe for the same reason everyone likes watching snuff films all the time. What, everyone doesn't like watching snuff films? Well everyone doesn't like watching The Smurfs in 3D either, so you see, they're exactly the same.
I'm sure I don't need to explain that I didn't watch the Smurfs cartoon as a child, because I doubt that people who did watch the Smurfs cartoon are going to enjoy this very horrifying film. Here's what I gathered right away about some of the main characters:
Clumsy Smurf - unsympathetic
Brainy Smurf - not actually that smart
Papa Smurf - 546 years old
Smurfette - female
Scottish Smurf - basically Shrek
Passive-Aggressive Smurf - really?
Oh and please don't get me started on Gargamel. The creative decision to have him played by an actual human is so fucking disturbing, even though especially because he's played by Hank Azaria. Obviously he spent hours and hours in the makeup chair every single day for this role, and for what? So he can wear a Party City Halloween costume and get all horny for Smurfette? He could have just done that at home. That would have been bad, but not nearly as bad as doing it in a $110 million movie where Smurfette's dress gets blown up and everyone stares at her... uh... whatever Smurfs have down there. I'm not going to say "Smurfgina," but I'm thinking it.
Yes, Smurfette's dress gets lifted up by an air conditioning vent and then it cuts to a medium shot from her waist up with the skirt flying WAY up, while she moans, "Ooh, that wasn't supposed to happen!" for like a solid minute. Somehow the most disgusting part is the choice of medium shot, because it suggests that something is being cropped out. As if they had to use a medium shot because the wide shot was too explicit. Except that it's animation, so it was obviously done on purpose, and it was probably supposed to be funny for this exact reason. It's also not great when Scottish Smurf runs over to the air vent and lets it blow up his kilt so he can "air out the Scottish forests" or something horrible like that. Not making this up.
Meanwhile, Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays portray an expecting couple who end up with all the Smurfs living in their house, popping out of the fucking toilet and swimming all up in their coffee. THIS IS NOT OKAY. The humans' transition from horror to delight is so fast it's impossible not to assume that they've gone batshit crazy and in a minute Papa Smurf is going to tell them that the only way the Smurfs can return to Smurf world is if they kill the President. That's just how these situations look from the perspective of the wacko, do you see what I'm saying?
The movie also tries to connect the dots between loving the Smurfs and feeling ready to become a new parent. You know, because Neil Patrick Harris yells at the Smurfs for messing stuff up, and that's what having kids is like! You have to stay cool because kids are unpredictable! Just like the Smurfs! On the other hand, Papa Smurf is in his sixth century of life and still doesn't know what Google is, so trying to reach some kind of understanding there feels very pointless to me.
Other highlights from this movie (that I'm not making up) include:
Gargamel goes to prison
Smurfette played by Katy Perry says "I kissed a Smurf and I liked it"
The Smurfs rapping "Walk This Way" while Neil Patrick Harris plays Guitar Hero
Gargamel hits a porta-potty for some "dark magic"
Azrael the CGI cat licking his ass
"Is a Smurf's butt blue?" - Papa Smurf
I left the theater for about 15 minutes to call Dan because I couldn't handle life anymore, and afterwards David told me, "You missed a lot of stuff while you were gone. Gargamel met Sofia Vergara's mom and gave her magical implants." I didn't ask for any further information about that because I am sure that's all I need to know.
Finally, I have to mention that I initially put my foot down and refused to see The Smurfs in 3D because, you know, that would be crossing some kind of line in bad taste, but because of our schedule we got suckered into a 3D showing. About 20 minutes into the movie I just took off the stupid glasses and watched the rest of the movie out of focus because it was less painful than regarding the lovingly rendered Smurf skin textures which included pores and micro body hairs.
I also drew this picture in the dark during the movie:
There, I just saved you $20 and 102 minutes of your life. You're welcome!
Here is an ugly alien creature- you will probably see a lot of sci-fi alien doodles for the next bit because I am working on a side project for fun with a small team. Have a great Tuesday
