Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Milo and Otis is rad. I wanna see it again. Can't believe Lisa's only seeing it now for the first time. The movie that put Pugs on the map!

BTW, the 3-D in Alice in Wonderland is lame. I found out today the movie was filmed in 2-D and converted to 3-D, and it looks it. Everything has that flat, cut-out, old multi-plane camera look. And the handful of 3-D "tricks" they did were straight out of 1950's 3-D movie schtick. Embarassing.

So, if you're gonna see it, see the 2-D version.

First Movie I ever got on DVD !! and also the reason I bought my first ever VHS !

...and we loved Alice - especially the 3D. They didn't resort to the usual cheap tricks and any "protrusions" out of the fourth wall were justified. It made it a lot easier to get immersed in the ambiance and settings. We'd recommend it to anyone. We woldn't recommend it to small children as a lot of characters seem to have a penchant for poking others in the eye with things.

Forgive me, but, I haven't seen Milo & Otis in many years. My older kids watched it quite a few times {on VHS}.

I can't remember...why was it painful?

Spoiler:

Because they were lost?They did make it home, right??? I can't remember!!

Did Thurston and Kimchi watch it, too?

Do dogs snack while watching t.v?

The list of horrors that happened to BOTH Milo and Otis was HUGE! Pugs don't swim very well, yet Otis was thrown into the ocean and a river, was supposed to fend for himself for a year, hand a run-in with a bear who grabbed him and was stuck in the snow for a LONG time. Otis was left to travel downstream in a little box, went over a falls, had run-ins with birds of prey, a bear and a fox, and he was obviously not a well taken care of cat in the films because his ears were FILTHY and looked infected.

Thurston watched almost the entire film with a lot of interest. He seemed as horrified as I was at the things happening to the poor pug and kitty.

I love Milo and Otis. Yes, it is fraught with peril, and the poor things look pretty disheveled for most of the film, but it's the ultimate animal buddy flick. Tori and I used to watch it all the time when she was little.

Not Afraid and wendybeth;

Oh yes, a lot of peril!! And, having been a while, I didn't remember until your brought it up. I guess I only saw the animal buddy element of it. Also, I've never had a pug. Poor Thurston! To see a pug be put through the ringer!

Now I'm wondering how much of it I actually watched. I am remembering a shack in a very pretty wooded area? Aye carumba. Slip goes the tranny in my brain........
