Title: NC: Once Upon A Forest
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 01, 2011, 10:21:58 AM: Just think of it this way: You love it, he hates it! (At least that's MY point of view with it. :) )

Once Upon A Forest Review (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/31156-once-upon-a-forest)

To be honest, even with his review, I don't get why people say it's bad. :D

EDIT: Also, is it just me or is he running out of good jokes in this one.

Also, interesting fact, the guy who directed this film was the same guy who directed LBT movies 5-12! Charles Grovesnor himself!

Didn't see it again for more than ten years, and I had no idea what the heck it was called, and then I finally managed to track it down! Yay Nostalgia!

I wouldn't say this is a particularly good or bad film, but it's something that a kid could watch without it getting too annoying for the adults after a while. Some of those scenes are pretty darn deep for a kids film, but hey, that's back when kids films actually had more guts. And I think it's pretty cool how in this version, the humans aren't just treated as evil villains - there are both good and bad humans in this.

Comparing the scene of the "other movie passing through" to Sam and Frodo's seeing the elves on their way to the Gray Havens was brilliant :lol

But seeing it now, I can see how it kinda sucks. But for young kids I can see it being a good form of entertainment for a bit.

And yes, the birds did seem to take on the african american persona, but at least it was'nt racist. They were just adding in diffrent cultures.
It could be like Banjo the Woodpile cat where Afircan American persona cats has HUGE lips.
