Glitches from Disney's Cars

If you are a Cars fan, you might've noticed these bloopers from the first film in the franchise:

Lightning McQueen doesn't know what rearview mirrors are, yet Mack has them.

Mater can drive backwards because he has side mirrors. Lightning does it later on without them.

Disney Afternoon DVDs -- Where's the Rest of the Story?

Last week, I promised you three Disney TV shows that got cheated on DVD. Although they had DVD releases, the full series was not included. Each of these gems has episodes missing, a disgraceful treatment of both the series and the fans.

Darkwing Duck

The Terror that Flaps in the Night, DW is a feathered super-hero bedeviled by cool villains and his own ego.

Kim Possible

Teenage cheerleader turned crime-fighter Kim Possible travels the world to foil the baddies and still manages to keep her grades up.

Adventures of the Gummi Bears

This show gets the worst treatment of all, with only one volume of cartoons available instead of two. There are a lot more adventures in Gummi Glen for fans to enjoy, if only Disey would cooperate.

We should also mention Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, which, although recently granted a complete series release, is limited to Blu-Ray only, a cheesy way of dissing fans with only a standard DVD player. But, it's better than nothing.

Top 5 Non-Disney Animated Films

I'm a huge Disney fan, so you can bet I say that Disney animation is the best, bar none. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate other animated movies. These are my top 5:

#5 Home

Most of the success of this movie is in the aliens: the Boov. Both their way of looking at the world and their speech patterns are so entertaining, you can't help but smile at pretty much everything they do.

#4 Lord of the Rings

An acquired taste, perhaps, and overshadowed by Peter Jackson's outstanding trilogy. But there will always be a warm place in my heart for the first film of the Tolkein masterpiece. Again, rotoscoping...oy! The character design is awesome in almost every case, though, and the dialogue sticks more closely to the book than Jackson's. Sure, it's a story without an ending, but we Tolkien fans know how it turns out.

#3 Flushed Away

No one could be more surprised than I at how good this movie is. I've seen the Wallace and Gromit movies, and they're good, but I'm no fan of the Aardman character design. And yet, the character of Roddy has a captivating charm that makes you really want to know how his story will turn out. Lots of funny stuff, and the weirdness doesn't cross the line into 'too weird for me' territory.

#2 Megamind

Why? Why do super-villains do it? This movie answers that question with good humor and lots of super-hero tropes, and yet still manages not to dis the genre I love. And Megamind the character has the power to make us root for the villain, even when he's at his most villainous.

#1 Klaus

This Netflix-Original tale of a Kuzco-esque postman in a town where the residents are too busy feuding to mail a letter doesn't sound like a Christmas movie, but just stick with it and you'll find the connection. Watch it any time, not just at Christmas. It's that good.

Black Cauldron Deleted Scene

If you're a fan of The Black Cauldron, you know there aren't many places to go to find behind-the-scenes information. At least you can look at these rare pre-production drawings and imagine how this scene might have gone:

Toy Story 4 Glitches

Now a few glitches from the most recent Toy Story film:

When Woody goes to sleep with Bonnie in the RV, he really sleeps, eyes closed and everything. What if he hadn't woken up in time and was seen that way by Mom or Dad?

Dad announces he's ready to go even though he never took the RV to the garage for repairs.

One More A Goofy Movie Video

Here is the entire Bill Farmer/Jason Marsden interview from which my previous post came. Well worth a look, if only to see the car.

Ratigan: The World's Greatest Criminal Mind

This video on the Disney website can be taken down at any moment, so it would be wise to watch it right away.

Yet Another Goofy Movie Video

Very cute video of A Goofy Movie as a 16-bit short film:

A Goofy Movie, but as a 16-bit short film. Disney is crushing it with the content for this movie’s 30th anniversary. 👏 pic.twitter.com/jPRezi7f4a

Toy Story 3 Glitches

Even my favorite Toy Story has bloopers, like these:

Woody's plan to escape from Sunnyside Daycare depends on several details he would be unlikely to know about, like Mr. Potato Head finding a hole in the sandbox and a child leaving a tortilla in his forgotten lunchbox.

The keys to Sunnyside Daycare are right where Woody was told: on the bulletin board. So how do the evil toys get outside?

Mr. Potato Head's parts can talk and move even when they are detatched from his body, but his wife's can't.

How do Woody, Bullseye, and the aliens get under the pail without being seen by Big Baby?

More Toy Story glitches.

Take the Quiz: Dr. Dawson's Monologues in The Great Mouse Detective

Can you remember all the words in Dawson's opening and closing monologues in Disney's The Great Mouse Detective?

Toy Story 2 Glitches

How about some bloopers from the first Pixar sequel, Toy Story 2?

Wheezy can't yell, but he could just tell Woody he's hiding behind a book.

Al's so honest, he doesn't even take the money from the cash box at the yard sale. Heck, he could steal the whole box to get Woody if he watnted to, instead of prying it open.

Why doesn't Woody know his own backstory? Buzz knows his from A to Zurg, yet Woody doesn't recognize Jessie or Bullseye when he meets them.

We know from his first movie that Woody has no control over his pullstring voicebox; when the string is pulled, he talks, even when he wishes he wouldn't. Yet in this film, Jessie playfully pulls Woody's string and he doesn't say a word. Well, except maybe "Yaagh!" Nor does he talk when he pulls the string at the climax.

Shouldn't a Pete the Prospector doll talk more like the TV version of the character?

Take the Quiz -- How Many Times in Disney Animated Films?

Do you know how many times these things occur in the indicated Disney Animated Feature Films?

Toy Story Glitches

Check out these bloopers from the hit Pixar movie Toy Story:

Andy gets a Battleship game for his birthday, but the box is the wrong size.

Bo Peep is fond of leaving lip prints on Woody's face. Does she borrow Andy's mom's lipstick, or just use red crayon?

Woody's been Andy's favorite toy "since kindergarten." That makes it sound like Andy's been out of kindergarten for some time. Yet he still writes the word "bank" on a box with a backwards "n". Or does he keep his cardboard boxes to play with for years?

Buzz thinks Andy's bed is a spongy planetary surface, but moments later reveals that he can fly around "this room."

The debris from Combat Carl seems to fly awfully far, considering the size of the explosion.

The smear is immediately gone from Buzz's helmet.

That slime drink dispenser at Pizza Planet must make an awful mess on the floor every day.

Prep & Landing Glitches

Here are some bloopers from the Disney featurette Prep & Landing:

Lanny's pile of Christmas lights are multicolored, but when they're hooked up to Wayne's beacon, they are all white lights.

The Elves start their party at 9:00 hours, according to the caption; that should read "0900 hours" or "9:00", not both.

Why does Magee give Lanny that fruitcake? She didn't draw his name in the Secret Santa exchange.

Once Upon a Studio

For those who wished they could take the time to examine the Disney short Once Upon a Studio frame by frame, we can't help you with that. But we can post this picture of the final photo for you to study at your leisure.

Too small, I know. But it's the best I could do on this blog. So to help you find my favourites from The Great Mouse Detective, here's a close-up of the right side of the photo. There are Basil, Dawson, and Olivia on Susie's bumper, Ratigan on the fender, and Fidget in front of Mr. Smee.

Next is a larger shot of Basil, Dawson, and Olivia from a different scene, followed by Ratigan about to get his just desserts during the final credits.
