I don't have especially kind things to say about Disney's ROBIN HOOD, either.  I do like the Disney 70s animation style as it was rich and rounded rather than the stylized look of something like MULAN or THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE (though I like those very much). I just didn't think the script, direction, or some of the voices were particularly apt.
It's not one of my faves, either.  I originally saw it in the theaters, and shrinking it to television size, while cutting the flaws down in size, really hasn't helped it.  There was originally a third story to be included, but what I've heard is that it included the threat of Robin being beheaded.  Rather than risk a PG rating for that, they chopped off the story instead.

I don't think we've done one of those in ages!

My TV has been graced throughout the day with the "candid" interviews with this jerk in his BVDs...
No, they look like generic plaid boxers.

He just looks generic.

Overall, "Tiger Cruise" was a fun, intelligent film that has great family values, patriotism and a call toward personal accountability that some young people sadly lack.

It was great to see a carrier underway (and NOT be on it!!!), but it was a bit disconcerting to see the disparity in ages of tigers....some looked like grandparents (which is fine) but others looked to be about 6 or 7, which is (or, back in 1992, WAS) way too young for tigers.  Also, it was a bit upsetting (remember, I was ship's company during tiger cruises) to see tigers roaming around unescorted and aimlessly going wherever they wanted.  That didn't happen "back in my day".  :  )

I recognize the need for story telling conventions and appeal for all ages and I'm sure that's what the filmmakers were going for.

It was a well-spent 90 minutes...and it was commercial-free!!!

I must wussburger.  I'm on call for tomorrow morning at work, for a full day, and I've been warned that the regular girl young woman is having trouble finding a babysitter...after a full week's advance notice.   :-\  Then, after work we're off to celebrate Der Brucer's natal day.  He's celebrating his ##th (let's just say he's getting his seniors discounts these days...and has been for a while... ;D)

Take care, all.  And happy anniversary, Ben and Ant!

And vibes to all who need them.

Back from Bea Arthur's one-woman show. The writing of this show is not as strong as Elaine Stritch at Liberty. It's strictly anecdotal, with no particular through line. But I had a nice evening. Miss Arthur, at 80 years of age (or more?) is certainly a force of nature. And I particularly enjoyed Billy Goldenberg, who turns out to have not only musical, but comedic talents. The place was packed. I even ran into a few people I knew.

Good Evening... again...

Whew!  I guess the week finally caught up with me... I've just been sitting either in front of the TV and/or computer for the past few hours not really engaged in anything... Kind of sleeping with my eyes open.  I have a feeling I'll be turning in soon - which will be good.  Even though I'm off tomorrow, I'd like to have a nice, long day off - rather than sleeping through it.  And I'm thinking catching a movie or two.  We shall see where the day takes me.

-I'm also just a few blocks from Griffith Park, and I have yet to check it out, so...

*Of course, I could also be in a slight food coma from the huge slice of that Chocolate Heath Bar Layer Cake thingy I had earlier. ;)
