The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

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

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.

RRRRRRRRHEUMATISM!

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

Man, I remember seeing this at a friend's house when I was three or something.
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.

I always thought this an okay film, myself, but it still makes for a perfect NC review.

I never saw it myself but from what little I did see in the review (in which by the way he doesn't totally pan the movie in spite of all banter) he did have a point about the birds being rather quick to give up on the little bird who (by the looks of it) had pretty much just mudded his feet. 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

I kinda felt like the scene with the birds was kinda "racist", since they had the appearance of an African American church...especially the preacher.

Still not as bad as the birds from Dumba though, my friend.

I remember seeing that film a long time ago. And it sucked than and it still sucks now. I'm glad he made fun of a god awful kids movie. It was a waste of time to watch. It was stupid and pointless and so on.

I loved this movie as a kid!
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.

I would have to drink something right now if I wanted to sit through this movie again. It's that bad.

I saw this review last April cause I was bored. My favorite part is, "After exposing to some mole frontal nudity..."
