What's up bros, I'm Jonathan.
And I'm Caleb.
And we are a couple of bros on a mission to give you guys the most detailed movie reviews
out there with as little bias as possible.
Welcome to the All Bros.
This week on the podcast we got nothing for 4K Spotlight, my wallet thanks us.
Or thanks the internet, whatever.
Or I guess the movie business?
Yeah, let's go with that.
One of those three.
Yeah.
So we'll be jumping straight into Through the Wall where we got a surprising second
trailer.
I didn't expect to get a second trailer this fast.
Like god damn.
I know, that's exactly what I thought.
Yeah, considering the first trailer just came out a month ago.
But hey, you know, I'm cool with it because honestly it's a better trailer and it gets
you way more hyped for the movie and hopefully it silences some of the haters.
Probably not.
Yeah, true.
But anyway, after that, we'll be moving onto our headliner of the evening which will be
our breakdown of Disenchanted, the sequel to Enchanted.
If you couldn't have guessed that.
But yeah, what do you say we get started, Caleb?
I say let's do it.

Alright, so getting straight into Through the Wall, since we have nothing for 4K spotlight,
we got the second trailer for the Super Mario Brothers movie today and holy shit, we got
a lot to talk about with this one because oh my god, probably like the biggest reveal
to me is the fact that like literally the ending is just a scene of Mario Kart and them
on Rainbow Road and you freaking hear Chris Pratt just go, what does he say?
Oh fuck, what is the line he says?
He does like a classic Mario noise but I can't remember what it is.
It's just a wahoo?
That's what, okay.
I built that up way too much but anyway.
Man that sounded great, like honestly the first trailer did not, like I'm like okay
you know Chris Pratt's voice sounds, you know, sounds okay.
I think after a second trailer I'm going to get used to it.
Yep, I'm completely sold.
Like the way that they're doing Mario in this, yeah I'm completely sold on his voice.
It absolutely works.
Honestly shockingly, like don't get me wrong, Charlie Day's voice is working perfectly for
Luigi for me but I feel like Chris Pratt's voice as Mario is actually working a little
more for me and I didn't think I would say that but both of them are doing a great job.
They're doing an incredible job.
This is going to be a funky movie.
It really is because you can tell that, like I know that so many people have a lot of hate
of like all, like the casting for this movie being like oh why didn't you just bring back
the original guy that played Mario to do all these voices.
I get that but you know it's a big Hollywood movie.
They got to sell this with voice actors.
Not even that.
Do you seriously want to listen to that voice for two, two and a half hours?
Guess what?
I bet you don't.
If this is going to be two hours, holy shit that's a long animated movie but you know
I'll take it.
I don't know how long the movie's going to be so don't take my word for it there.
It's just I assume it's going to be close to like two hours.
I'm betting I'm putting money hour 45.
I'll say it's a little closer to two.
I'll say like an hour 50.
Okay.
Does that include credits or no?
I'll say whatever the official runtime is.
Okay.
Does the official runtime include credits?
Yes it does.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll stick with my hour 50.
Okay.
I think I'll stick with my hour 45 because I feel without credits it's going to be like
a little over 90 minutes.
Yeah.
You got to think illumination too.
Yeah, that's true.
I feel that this trailer just showcases how much of a love letter this movie is going
to be to like every single Mario game.
Like just oh my god the visuals, the backgrounds.
It's just like I felt like even though I didn't have a controller in my hand I felt like I
was playing a freaking Mario game.
And that's what I want to feel with a Super Mario Brothers movie.
It feels like you can.
It feels like this feels like it's going to be like the story of Mario from like beginning
to where it currently is.
Because obviously we're going to get to see Mario and Luigi be plumbers.
Which is going to be awesome.
I mean I know we got that in the original Mario movie but I know a lot of people have
soft spot for that movie now.
I haven't watched it.
I've actually never seen it fully so I can't really comment on it.
But I know a lot of people would like to forget about that and say that that is not a Mario
movie.
It's barely a movie.
Yeah.
So hopefully this is truly the Mario movie.
But hey you got to give that movie props for the fact that like they gave Mario the last
name.
Like they're like they really are the Mario Brothers because you know it's Mario Mario
and Luigi Mario.
Dude that is probably the worst decision ever made.
I still laugh.
You know it's probably a close second.
Just because I don't know.
It's so it's what's the word uncanny or just like cringe inducing.
Even though I really enjoy the movie in solo when he's like up he goes up to that guard
and he's just like oh hey what's your name.
Oh Han.
Last name.
Oh I don't have a last name.
I run solo.
Han Solo.
I'm like Jesus Christ.
He frickin did not.
Like really.
And like he looks up and like amazement like oh my god you just gave me my name.
Roll credits.
Oh my.
That made me want to frickin cringe.
Right.
So those are the kind that's like the kind of same vibe that I got from something of
like the Mario movie or like the original Super Mario Brothers movie.
I got the same vibe from that that I didn't solo with that scene.
Yeah.
But I mean like I said it seems like it's going to be like just a culmination of every
Mario sequence.
Like we're going to get like I said we're going to get like Luigi or Mario and Luigi
as plumbers which is like their origin and then they're moving into the Mushroom Kingdom
where it feels like the classic game where you have the frickin blocks and everything.
And it's like a whole train.
It's like a training montage for Mario eventually getting to the point where he sees like the
fish area.
Frickin Yoshi's.
Dude.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
Like it's to see that.
I honestly I don't know what it was that they were traveling through whether that's what
the pipe travel looks like.
But when Mario and Luigi are like flying through that like I don't know how else to explain
it but just this this pipe I was getting some major Mario Galaxy vibes.
Dude.
Yeah.
Straight up like when Princess Peach was just like oh you know like there are so many galaxies
out there.
I'm just like is that a reference to Super Mario Galaxy or are we going to get an appearance
from Rosalina in this movie.
Huh.
That'd be the shit.
That would be amazing.
Yeah.
And then we get frickin Mario Kart.
Dude.
Although I was disappointed I was disappointed that Luigi was not in there.
At least I didn't see Luigi.
I bet he will be.
OK.
I brought this up to Caleb after we both watched the trailer.
It seems to me that from these trailers Mario and Luigi are not going to be spending a lot
of this movie together.
And I don't know how I feel about that.
I could be wrong.
But just the way that these trailers are.
I think it's going to end up being like where they're kind of on two separate journeys where
Mario's is kind of like the A story and Luigi's is the B story.
And then they eventually get the B story.
Yeah I know.
But then they eventually like come together to like finish off the story because what
I'm assuming happens is I don't even know what my guess would be.
I think my guess would be that maybe there's like this.
This is going to sound so stupid.
But this is like my guess.
There's going to be some sort of like prophecy or Bowser's going to be told something like
given like talk to an oracle or some shit and be told that someone's going to like come
and stop him and it will be like a man in red.
Like one of those situations.
I mean honestly he kind of does get into that.
Like something like that when he's talking to Luigi.
So I could totally see that.
Yeah.
So I think he's getting some sort of prophecy.
And he's like okay something happens to Mario and Luigi where they get sucked into the the
Mushroom Kingdom where maybe like Toad goes out to to get them and then while they're
coming back Bowser interferes and then they're somehow separated.
And then Luigi's captured by Bowser for a short period of time ends up breaking out
and kind of goes on his own adventure because I mean we see him facing off against like
the dry bones and that would make a lot of sense.
Yeah.
So then Bowser himself does his own thing becomes frickin Luigi's Mansion Luigi and
then gets like then gets like back together with with with Mario and then they go and
do their Super Mario Brother team up while Mario is like training with Peach.
Okay I think I can get behind that especially if they throw in some Luigi's Mansion.
Oh yeah.
I'm so sold.
Yeah.
I think you can have like him go into like a spooky palace or a spooky castle like that
and not give us ghosts.
Yeah exactly.
Like oh please give them this classic vacuum.
What's the name of the professor from like Luigi's Mansion?
Like what if we can I forget.
Like what if he runs into him?
Dude.
Ah so many possibilities.
I hate that this movie doesn't come out till April.
Yeah I do.
It looks like it's going to be so good but I like how they set Mario up to be like a
badass at first when he's coming.
Like I think some of his phrases don't really work with Chris Pratt's voice like when he's
like let's go.
I'm like yeah I was a little campy.
Yeah just just a hair but when he like jumps up and it's like going to like smackdown DK
and then he just grabs his face and smacks it like smacks him around.
I thought that was freaking hilarious.
That was amazing.
I was hoping to hear I mean you hear like a little grunting from Seth Rogen but you
actually you don't hear him talk.
Yeah.
Which I was hoping for but I'll take what I can get.
At least we heard Anna Taylor Joy as the voice of Peach.
I think she's doing great.
Dude a lot of people were bitching about her look.
Yeah I saw that too.
They're just like oh it looks just like a classic illumination character.
How?
Freaking duh.
Well no like like I'm trying to think of like other like female illumination characters
and the only ones I can think of are Gru's kids.
She doesn't look anything like them.
She doesn't look anything like Gru's wife.
Seeing they're all animals so of course she doesn't look like them.
Even in freaking the Grinch or I feel even the Lorax even though I haven't seen the Lorax.
No the characters look like her.
Yeah.
So I think she looks really good.
Yeah she looks great.
She looks like Princess Peach.
And dude if I see one more comment like they're just like oh my god yeah it looks so good.
Princess Peach looks so good.
But why isn't she getting kidnapped by Bowser?
Why does every single Mario storyline have to revolve around Princess Peach getting kidnapped
by Bowser?
Yeah it doesn't have to start that way.
Yeah.
What's wrong with Peach like actually getting the chance to defend her castle?
Alright I'm looking up so I just went on the IMDB page for this movie and they have like
all of the like new character posters out.
Like the first one is Luigi with all the dry bones and he's holding a flashlight which
I feel is classic freaking Luigi's Mansion.
But he's in like a spooky forest and everything so freaking A.
Does it show the one?
I don't know if it will.
And what was it his name 3C Films I think on TikTok.
He pointed out one of the Luigi ones just like sounds weird.
It says you just got Luigi'd.
Yeah that looks funky.
What the hell is what is that supposed to mean?
I think that's a stupid catchphrase that Luigi comes up with or will say.
I swear to God if he says that I'm gonna freaking just pass out from cringe probably.
They give us one for Donkey Kong which Donkey Kong looks great too.
All of the character designs look amazing.
Yeah I mean they're updated and just like a little have a fresher look about them but
they look good.
There's nothing wrong with any of them.
They look fantastic.
Yeah the one for Mario looks awesome.
The one for Mario it's just him and like the mushroom kingdom like just surrounded by mushrooms
with little toads kind of around him.
Make sense.
Let's see what the next one is.
I'm pretty sure the next one's like Bowser.
Yeah Bowser which looks awesome just has him with his castle behind him.
And then Peach she has like the mushroom kingdom behind her.
And she looks she looks great.
I'm actually kind of glad that she's kind of stepping up to the plate.
I am too.
I love that.
It kind of seems like she's carrying her weight a little bit.
Yeah it's about damn time.
I'm just kidding.
And then let's see Toad.
Toads is cool.
Like he's in a field of the fire flowers with Mario.
That's awesome.
Yeah with Mario and Peach in the back like next to a campfire.
That's that's freaking sick.
But this movie looks like it's going to be stunning.
It really just looks like a love letter to every single Mario game that has come before
that has come before.
I mean I know there's a movie but still.
Like the fact that they're even throwing a freaking Mario Kart.
Like oh my god.
Yeah that's going to be the shit.
Dude did you look at all the other posters but.
Have you seen the poster where they're standing in front or Mario and Luigi are standing in
front of their truck.
Yes.
Dude that looks so good.
Yeah I think yeah you sent me the video that showcased all the posters.
Yeah that one looks freaking incredible.
The animation looks so crisp.
Like oh my god.
Yeah like anyone who's complaining about this is freaking like up their own ass.
This is like the best animation I've ever seen from elimination.
Oh dude hands freaking down.
And gosh it's like.
Freaking they look so good like.
Like Luigi dude like oh my gosh.
Right.
Like oh my god.
Like I freaking love how he looks.
I don't love the whole you got Luigi thing but whatever.
Don't get me wrong.
Like I still appreciate though that they kept true to like Luigi's still just always slightly
taller.
Yeah.
And he definitely doesn't he's definitely taller he doesn't have as much of a gut as
Mario so I appreciate it.
Just taller slimmer.
Yeah.
Dude I my my hopes for this movie are through the frickin roof.
My mind too.
After the second trailer like I I am nothing but stoked like honestly once these once they
do presale tickets I think I'm buying them day one.
I am so freaking excited for this movie.
Dude same here.
Oh freaking a dude the freaking posters that we were.
Actually I think those are fake.
Never mind.
So you remember the posters that we originally saw like where it was like.
Yeah.
So that I thought were fake.
They're on the IMDB so.
I guess they're real.
But that's not what they look like.
Yeah.
I mean I wish that elimination would have just taken those designs and also made posters
like that of Mario and Luigi.
Yeah.
But.
I'm.
I could not be more excited about this movie.
Honestly I think I'm taking Iris like if I can find like a viewing that doesn't have
very many people.
Yes.
Like I think I'm taking her day one.
Dude yes.
Like that is going to be the.
Yeah I might see if my buddy Ryan Ryan wants to take his daughter to.
Because I know we were going to go see.
We were going to take his daughter to go see.
Oh my God what's that Disney movie.
Strange World.
But he feels she might not be able to sit through that one.
So maybe she might have an easier time sitting through Mario.
So definitely talk to him see if he wants to.
Yeah.
But.
Dude and on you Taylor Joy's voice says Peach.
She is so good.
Like oh my God.
Oh.
Dude I.
I can't wait for this movie.
I am so freaking pumped.
Everything that I've seen out of this has been a win.
Yeah dude.
I'm at a 10.
Like this trailer put me at a 10.
Yeah I'm just gonna put it right now.
I am going.
I'm actually at the point.
I'm not going to watch any more trailers if they come out.
As much as I want to hear Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong I'm on the same level as you man.
Yep.
I've seen all that I need to.
Yep.
I've seen enough.
Honestly I think that's actually going to be like a nice surprise seeing the movie is
actually hearing Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong.
Yeah I'm going to I'm going to avoid.
Like all the trailers from now on.
Like.
I just thought of something.
What's that.
What would you do if like Donkey Kong actually didn't speak in the movie.
All Seth Rogen did was just like the grunts and.
I don't think that would happen.
But what would you do if Donkey Kong did not talk.
He just did the grunts and all that stuff.
Did like the classic like.
Oh.
I feel that's kind of like nothing against Seth Rogen but isn't that kind of like over
paying an actor.
Although I guess they do pay frickin Vin Diesel just to say I am Groot.
True.
Dude now you got me questioning it because like.
Donkey Kong doesn't talk in his games.
People talk to Donkey Kong.
That's true.
I forgot.
Son of a bitch.
We might have just cracked this code.
Shit.
Like it's just going to be grunts and maybe like some chuckles like dude what if the only
reason that they hired Seth Rogen is so we could get like a Donkey Kong laugh.
You know what I would totally be OK with that if that's the case.
I don't know why I never thought of that but that actually might be the case.
Dude I didn't think of that either.
I was like I was just thinking I'm like dude does Donkey Kong even talk.
But no like in it's in every game like Mario talks in his game.
I mean technically Bowser never talks either and he's he is talking in this one.
That's not or does he.
OK.
In.
So I've played I know this isn't set in the mushroom.
Well kind of it's like partially set in the mushroom kingdom.
Bowser.
So I've played Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and then they have another one that they in
like Bowser's inside story.
Bowser talks in that one.
No shit.
OK.
Like he has like dialogue and stuff like you don't hear him talk you just hear a rrr and
then that's it.
And then like speech bubble and it's kind of the same thing.
OK yeah because I think like they do the same thing in what game did you say.
Super Superstar Saga.
OK because yeah they do the same thing in Mario the newest Mario and Sonic game when
it's it's Bowser and Eggman versus Mario and Sonic.
Yeah they do that same shit.
Yeah so he has speech.
Yeah yeah and then like Mario and Luigi like even though they're talking like gibberish
they don't they speak like people understand them like we still get like dialogue for them.
Do you like peach talks toe talks but I diddy Kong talks.
Huh.
I know cranky Kong talks.
But I don't know if I've ever heard Donkey Kong talks.
Dude like I literally know like nothing about the Donkey Kong franchise.
All I know is Donkey and Diddy.
That's it.
I don't know any of the others.
So the old like I'm assuming the old monkey that was standing next to Peach during Donkey
Kong and Mario's battle.
Yeah I'm assuming that's cranky Kong.
Which cranky Kong is just kind of Donkey Kong's grandfather I think.
OK but yeah he they Donkey Kong doesn't talk as far as I'm aware.
I will have to so Braille has played more Donkey Kong games than I have.
OK.
She had like the like the GameCube growing up and Nintendo 64 and all that good stuff.
OK.
Yeah.
Because like honestly I wasn't introduced because yeah I never played Nintendo really
as a kid only at my friend's houses and mostly like honestly we just played Lego games together
so it was never really Mario games.
So like honestly I feel I wasn't introduced to not only Mario not Mario sorry to not only
Donkey Kong but Diddy Kong until like freaking like I played Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash
Brothers Brawl.
Yeah my so I played a Donkey Kong game on the I want to say the Nintendo DS.
OK.
And through that whole thing I like like I said people talked to Donkey Kong but I think
Diddy was the one that was doing most of the talking and he was just like come on Donkey
Kong or DK or whatever and then he they would go off but I don't think Donkey Kong ever
talked so I think I'll be a little bit more upset if Donkey Kong does talk.
You know what same because I would absolutely be OK.
Just hear the whole freaking movie.
That would make the movie that I have to give 100 for acting if that's what they ended up
doing.
I think that's why Rogan would be my number one favorite my number one pick for acting
not Chris Pratt not Charlie Day.
It's for yes.
If Donkey Kong doesn't talk the entire movie I don't care what his performance is like
he's number one for me.
Even as calm as calling it Jack Black.
Yep.
We'll have to do top four because.
Yeah.
Because yeah.
Number one is already set in stone.
So I'm pumped.
I'm so pumped for this movie dude.
So are you out of 10 as well or are you.
Absolutely.
Now that we've come up with that theory about Donkey Kong.
I'm so dude.
Oh my God.
Everybody listening to this just remember if Donkey Kong doesn't talk we are the ones
that made that that revelation.
Yep we called remember that.
Yep we called it so no need to thank us.
So I think I'd be pissed if like at the very end he has dialogue.
It's like yeah.
Maybe he doesn't talk and then like an end or a mid end credits scene there just like
he has like conversations and I'm like damn it like Diddy Kong shows up and he's just
like Diddy son of a bitch.
Damn you Nintendo.
Oh well anyway.
Yeah if you guys haven't seen this trailer go frickin watch it.
This is such an amazing second trailer.
Dude and you're cool.
Yeah I mean but I've never been cool so I probably don't know what cool is.
Oh man I'm beyond pumped and I could talk about this all frickin day.
Yeah same here but we should probably get into our headliner of the evening which will
not going to spoil anything but we definitely had some more nicer things to say about the
Mario movie than this movie.
So without further ado Caleb what do you say we get into our headliner.
Say let's do it.
All right so for this week's headliner we'll be breaking down the two thousand and twenty
two sequel to enchanted disenchanted which you can watch right now on Disney plus it
is a Disney plus original.
Yeah so Caleb do you want to let everyone know how we break down a break down movies
on this podcast.
I would love to.
If you are new to our breakdown system we have split movies into eight different categories
that we individually score to come to a final all bros letter grade.
The eight categories that we score our story writing acting character development effects
music costumes and then we give our own personal score at the very end of those numbers get
magically added up and spit through our algorithm and give us a letter grade to compare this
movie to others of its kind as well as a percentage to compare this movie in like a hierarchy
like a list if you will where the margins are redonk you'll see close.
But yeah so if you guys have not watched disenchanted yet I'm about to spoil the whole damn thing
so if you don't want the sequel spoiled for you turn away now.
And if you're unsure you're probably fine.
Yeah because spoiler alert this movie just proves why this by enchanted did not need
a sequel it was a perfect one off film.
It's a yep like like so I had never seen enchanted up until actually today November 29th or wait
no I'm sorry I watched it yesterday November 20 never had seen it before but I freaking
fell in love with it I hate that I slept on this movie it's a freaking great movie Amy
Adams everybody's freaking great great I love it especially Susan Sarandon oh my god she's
breathtaking but anyway it's just such a great movie and then they turn out this sequel.
Yeah it one it's way too late considering that the first one came out in what 2013?
It came out a redonkulously long time ago.
Like I love but I'm sorry 2007 yeah it came out way too long ago.
I love how in when you just put E N you don't even get enchanted first it's in Kanto that's
freaking hilarious.
Yeah 2007 dude.
Dude I can't believe that's the year that Spider-Man 3 came out and the Simpsons movie.
Holy shit yeah yeah oh and freaking dude TMNT also came out in 2007.
You screwed up Disney yeah very much so I mean this move like enchanted like we said
great this movie you kind of missed the ball I think there's some other things that you
have released more recent that deserve a sequel not this.
Yeah yeah like honestly but you know we're kind of getting ahead of ourselves here so
let's let's get into this plot.
Alright ten years after the events of the first film Giselle Robert and Morgan Phillip
are living happily together with their newborn baby Sophia.
Excuse me sorry.
However life in Manhattan is starting to drag on them so Giselle plans to move the family
to Monroeville a suburban town.
The moving brings poor first experiences for them their new house needs to be renovated.
Wait I thought that they didn't they know that it needed to be renovated.
Yeah the way that they're pointing out there is done.
I don't know what their deal was like they moved into an unfinished house.
Yeah okay I'm sure that the landlord would have given them like another month or two
at their apartment but whatever or I mean I don't know if they were renting they might
have bought that it might have been his own apartment but whatever.
I don't know how how those work.
Yeah I do I don't know how do for how much New York apartments cost I have no idea and
honestly I don't want to know because like literally you have to take out two mortgages
just to be able to freaking afford rent for a New York apartment.
Dude it's ridiculous how like I'm so afraid of New York because of how expensive I hear
it is.
Yeah dude same here like I would literally have to I don't even like maybe if I was a
lawyer or some shit like that yeah I could probably live in New York but other than that
yeah I can't afford that shit.
A lawyer or a doctor that's that's how I could afford living in New York.
So apparently they do sell I'm just I'm just looking it up right now like apartments in
New York they so they do sell apartments like ones that you can buy.
How about breaking no.
How bad.
Whatever you think but worse.
All right just tell me.
I want to get like an exact number on like square footage and space and all that.
All right do you want me to keep reading while you figure that out.
Okay.
Oh you got it.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right let's hear it.
Okay it doesn't have square footage available.
Damn but it does so it's a studio apartment with one bathroom.
Okay dude speaking of like the whole one bathroom what I'm think have you seen those New York
apartments that are literally like the rent is like decently cheap for New York but literally
they all the tenants on the same floor have to say share the exact same bathroom.
They don't have a bathroom in their apartment.
Yeah it's a community bathroom.
That's Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 level shit.
Yeah dude if that I'm sorry I need I don't care how much more I have to pay in rent I
have to have my own bathroom in my apartment.
I am not doing a community bathroom for that.
Yeah absolutely not.
Okay so I have to assume so I'm looking so this is a building on whatever like 31st Street
is so this is like I'm assuming the heart of New York City.
Oh God.
So I have to assume so a two-bedroom apartment is 856 square feet.
Okay.
A one-bedroom is 499 square feet.
I can only assume that a studio apartment is less than 500 square feet.
Yeah I would assume so.
Okay so less than 500 square feet which is not a lot.
No.
Like I'm trying to think that's less than half of my place in Provo.
Geez Louise oh my god.
Yeah that's probably the two so that's probably the two bedrooms combined into one and the
bathroom.
Oh good lord.
And even that might be over the 500 square feet.
That's pushing it.
Yeah anyway so a studio apartment with one bathroom what do you think the rent would
be on that?
2400.
35?
42?
43.
Like a little lower?
43.
Oh my god.
I'm paying almost $4500 a month to barely have any walking room?
Yep.
I could probably.
And that's without a bedroom.
Oh my god.
That's a studio freaking apartment.
If you want a good amenity like a freaking bedroom that takes your rent up another thousand.
So literally you can't have a living room.
It's just like walk in here's my bedroom.
That's it.
Yeah pretty much.
Does it even have a freaking kitchen?
Uh let's see.
I'm going to assume no.
That's like bullshit if they don't even give you like a freaking fridge and a stove.
Like come on.
Yeah they're showing all like the amenities.
They don't have like a floor plan.
Ah damn.
Come on bastards.
Oh okay.
That is horseshit.
So it's not even like a full kitchen.
It's kind of like what we have in my house.
Where it's like a sink, oven, and fridge all along one wall.
Okay.
Um yeah.
But let me guess half the size?
Easily.
Dude we have maybe I won't say triple but over double the size.
Jesus.
So one bedroom.
So a one bedroom apartment.
How much so like I said it's a thousand more.
So on the low end of the spectrum you're paying $52.50.
Oh my god.
On the high end you're paying $56.25.
And don't even get me on a two bedroom.
Two bedroom, 856 square feet.
So that's actually really close to the first place in Provo that I lived.
Okay.
I remember that one.
There I was paying $850 maybe $900.
You want to take a guess at the freaking cost of a two bedroom one bathroom apartment in
New York?
$7500.
Dude you're right on the freaking money.
I don't like being that close to $10,000.
Yeah $7530.
Oh my god.
I'm paying almost $10,000 for a two bedroom apartment?
A month.
Caleb just had to make that very clear.
New York sucks.
Dude, freaking Grace Randolph from Beyond the Trailer.
I don't know how you afford to live there.
Like I love your content.
Like literally I've followed you since I've like started watching YouTube.
God damn how the hell do you afford it out there?
I'm just curious what...
Dude, you could freaking...
You could live in a Holiday Inn for cheaper than you can live.
Oh good lord.
Like I just looked just to see what like a Holiday Inn in like Manhattan or like near
Times Square is.
$169 a night.
That's actually like really cheap in my opinion for New York.
Yeah so let's just for shits and giggles, $169 a night for a month.
So let's say 30 days.
That's still like five grand.
Nevermind.
Damn it.
Alright.
How much space is that though?
Like...
Because Holiday Inn...
That's still more than a studio apartment.
Probably.
Oh my gosh.
You can get it for...
Let's see.
You can get it for like $150 if you go through MuseTrip.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
You...
New York, you can go jump in a creek or fall into the ocean for all I care.
Damn.
Oh my god.
Anyway.
Yeah.
If they...
And the idea of building... or not building... buying an apartment, you can go to actual
hell.
Oh shit.
Anyway, they have enough to afford a frickin' castle after selling their apartment.
Yeah.
So um.
See how they said their new house needs to be renovated, Robert has to commute to continue
his job, and Morgan feels like an outcast at her new school.
Classic cliche teenage problems.
Okay dude.
That...
I don't like using this term.
This just shows how pussywhipped Robert was.
He has to commute at least an hour, right?
Yeah.
So he has to commute two hours a day for his wife that just got a little overwhelmed with
the city.
His daughter didn't want to move to the countryside.
Which like, there's no good reason why they moved there other than...
Yeah.
I've got one good reason.
What's that?
Amy Adams.
Come on, Amy Adams is hot.
I'm just gonna say that right now.
She is arguably like the hottest redhead working today.
You know what?
When you're right, you're right.
I'll give you that.
I'd probably commute a couple hours for Amy Adams.
See?
Does it make me smart?
He didn't say that.
And does it make me smart?
No.
But fair enough.
When you hit me with that perspective, like, yeah, I get it.
Okay.
Oh shit.
King Edward and Queen Nancy visit from Andalasia to present them with a wish-granting wand.
Giselle meets Malvina Monroe, the arrogant head of the town council, and learns that
she is hosting a fairy tale-themed ball where Malvina's son Tyson is the ball's elected
prince.
To help Morgan fit in, Giselle tries to get her elected as the ball's princess but ends
up unwittingly embarrassing Morgan, resulting in a falling out between the two.
After consulting with her chipmunk friend Pip, Giselle decides to use the wand and wishes
her family's life to be a perfect fairy tale.
By the next day, the town has transformed into a fantasy kingdom called Monrolasia.
Morgan is happy with their new life, and Robert believes himself to be a brave adventurer.
Malvina is now the town's evil queen with magical powers.
Giselle also discovers, uncharacristically, Hottie.
Sorry.
Giselle also discovers, uncharacristically, Hottie behavior and finds pleasure in mistreating
Morgan.
Realizing that she is slowly turning into a wicked stepmother, Giselle asks for help
from the magic wand's instruction scroll.
The scroll reveals that Giselle's wish is using up Andalasia's magic to change the real
world into a fairy tale and that it will become permanent after midnight.
Malvina learns about the magic wand and enlists her two servants, Rosaline and Ruby, to steal
it.
The scroll tells her that the wand can only be used by a true Andalasian.
Giselle realizes that without the wand, she will lose herself to her wicked side, so she
convinces Morgan to save themselves before sending her to Andalasia.
There, Morgan learns that the kingdom's magic is transported to Monrolasia through a vortex,
and once the spell becomes permanent, Andalasia will be gone forever.
Nancy and Edward suggest that Morgan use the magic of the memories to remind Giselle of
her true self.
Morgan recreates a childhood drawing of their family tree with pictures of their shared
memories then heads back to the real world with Nancy.
Giselle now under the influence of her evil personality, challenges Malvina for the royal
title of Monrolasia.
Giselle sends Pip, who has been turned into a tabby cat, one of the worst CGI cats I've
ever seen, to steal back the wand while also sending Robert on an assumed futile search
for Morgan.
At the ball, Giselle and Malvina engage in a magic duel, with the former easily overpowering
the latter.
Morgan and Nancy meet up with Robert and Tyson before rushing into the town hall to stop
the duel.
Morgan tosses her drawing to Giselle, who rips it, but the magic within brings the memories
to life, restoring Giselle to normal.
Not wanting the spell to be broken, Malvina takes Morgan hostage and demands the wand
in exchange.
Giselle surrenders the wand and Malvina breaks it in two.
As midnight approaches, everything from Andalasia begins to disappear, including Giselle herself.
While Robert and Tyson head to the top of the clock tower to delay the final chime,
Giselle tells Morgan that by being her daughter, she is a true Andalasian, therefore capable
of using the wand.
Morgan wishes she were home with her mother, just as Malvina attempts to make the clock
tower chime before it was destroyed.
Morgan awakens in their house and finds everything normal again, only she and Giselle are aware
of the events while everyone else believes it to be a dream.
Giselle apologizes to Malvina for stepping over her plans, with Malvina allowing Giselle
to join her council.
Sometime later, Robert has moved his practice to Monroville, Morgan and Tyson have started
dating and Nancy and Edward arrive for another visit to the Phillips in their now happy life.
Don't get me wrong.
Sorry, you go ahead.
Nope, I love where you're going.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed seeing these characters come back.
Amy Adams once again kills it, but this movie did not need a sequel.
The Enchanted just ends it so perfectly with, oh my god, Prince Edward and what's Adina
Maddow's character?
Nancy.
They get married in Andalasia, they live happily ever after.
Giselle and, oh my god.
Robert.
Robert, I'm sorry, I'm horrible with names.
Giselle and Robert and Morgan live happily ever after in their apartment.
Giselle becomes like a real mom to Morgan, which is wonderful.
I love that.
It's such a perfect ending.
And then we get the sequel that you get Morgan being a teenager and her being like, oh, she's
not my real mom.
I love how at the beginning she is calling her mom.
Seems like everything's fine.
And then halfway through she's just like, she'll never be my mom.
She's just my stepmother.
How can you just not realize that, dad?
Dude, this movie was so freaking cringy.
I never really, no, I never wanted to see teenage Morgan.
I didn't need that storyline of, oh, now that Morgan's a teenager, it changes Giselle's
total view on what she wants and her happily ever after.
And then really, was there a point of them even having a child together?
I honestly already forgot their daughter's name.
Didn't add anything to the story.
She was just there.
Also, did she look, I know this will go into effects, but she looked like CGI in some scenes?
A little bit, yes.
Okay.
I'm not the only one.
Like she legit looks CGI.
And then freaking Patrick Dempsey's character, what's his name again?
Robert.
Dude, he was a complete and utter buffoon.
Yeah.
I was telling Caleb, you didn't even need him in this sequel.
This is like a slap in the face to Patrick Dempsey, who is an amazing actor.
But they literally did nothing with his character in this.
Basically, once the whole fairy tale thing takes over, he's just like, oh yeah, I gotta
go on an adventure to be the man of the house.
And that's literally all that you get from him.
Like, cool.
Dude, they just needed to change one aspect to him to make him infinitely more interesting.
What's that?
They just had to give him his memories of the real world.
Yes.
That's all you had to do, people.
You just had to give this lawyer that doesn't know any better, like you could have had the
exact same storyline.
It would have been way funnier if he knew what the hell was actually going on.
Like if his memory wasn't altered, where he remembered like, oh, this isn't right.
That would have made it so much funnier in my mind.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
Even the part where he's like trying to like vanquish the foul beast, even though like
that whole scene is like played for comedy, I didn't laugh once.
I didn't either.
I think it would have been funny if they, like I said, if he had his memories of the
real world and was just trying to like play along with this storybook fantasy and just
like, okay, guess is what I have to do.
And then that would have been so great.
Yeah.
How funny would that have been?
Dude, I was going to laugh my ass off of when he gets blown away by the beast as he's like
flying through the air.
I'm like, God, imagine if like he just like got burned to a crisp and died.
Imagine if that was how ballsy that would have been at Disney.
Congratulations.
You killed your husband.
Good job, Giselle.
We're all so proud of you.
Dude, this movie, like you said, did not need to happen.
It fell all over the place, too.
It really did.
Like, um, like it never seemed to follow one person for very long.
Like we got a little bit of Giselle and then she kind of got put to the back burner for
a little while.
And then it followed Morgan for a little bit.
And then like, he's just jumping around from person to person.
I'm like, frickin pick a lane.
I feel the three that it really tried to focus on were Giselle, Morgan and Malvina.
Those were the three that it really tried to like balance the focus on, but it didn't
work.
Nope.
Take a, take a note from the first one where they only focus on Giselle.
That's how it should be.
Yeah.
You focus on one character and give like a side B story.
Yeah.
Like honestly, I think this would have worked with pure focus on Giselle and maybe Robert.
Yes.
Yeah.
But I think you just, they just tried to balance way too much and get like what you said, give
us a story that's completely unnecessary.
Yeah.
That really sucks saying because the first one is so, so good.
Yeah.
But it's like the, like you said, the first one ended perfectly.
And then it's like, Oh, but here's a little road bump.
Boop.
Oh, now we're back to happily ever after.
Can we talk about the ending of this one though?
How, when they close the storybook, you see, I think it's a fly or, or no, it's a, it's
a, uh, oh my God, is it a firefly that closes the book?
And it actually like winks at the camera.
I'm like, I swear to God, if there's a third one,
Where can you take a third one?
Worst.
Yeah.
I'm like, you did not just fricking wink.
No, do not try to set up a third one.
Cause there's literally nowhere else you can go with this.
Like Morgan and Giselle have an understanding.
Um, Robert's just there.
I'm sorry.
He is like, he actually had a story in the first one.
He actually had character development in the first one.
He has nothing in this sequel.
Honestly, if, if, if this movie was to have, if, or if this movie just like needed to be
made, you know what it, it needed to do?
It needed to go to Andalasia and focus on Edward and Nancy.
I would have loved that.
Yeah.
Like Giselle.
Like Giselle, Robert and Morgan have to go to Andalasia to help Edward and Nancy because
they are having marital problems.
Yeah.
That, you know what?
And honestly, that would actually make a lot of sense considering that, you know, she's
coming from the real world.
He's an animated character.
To him, it only like true love, you like all, uh, you know, you, you see someone that, oh,
true love, true love's first kiss.
That's all you need.
Um, whereas in like the first one, um, Giselle realizes, you know, like, Hey, you know, like,
that's not really all it takes to actually love someone.
You need to actually get to know them, you know, go on a date, all that stuff.
Um, and I would have loved to see Robert, not Robert, I'm sorry.
Um, Nancy's version of that being like, Hey, you know, I kind of, we might've rushed into
this.
I don't know if this is really going to work out.
And like you said, yeah, bringing, uh, Robert and Giselle into Andalasia and yeah, that
would have been a way better idea for a sequel.
Yeah.
It would have made sense.
You could have kept the name and everything.
Yeah.
And you just needed to make the 2d animation not suck.
Yeah dude.
When, uh, fricking, um, like when it first, uh, showcased, um, Andalasia in the beginning,
I'm like, okay, I get where Caleb's coming from.
Doesn't look as good as the first one, but it's not bad.
It's when, uh, Morgan like is transported into Andalasia.
I'm like, yeah.
Um, yeah, this is definitely not as good as the first one.
Yeah.
Like, and we will be getting into that.
Um, but dude, the story was just so lazy.
Like honestly, another, I hated, um, because I love these two actresses and I liked the
characters that they were, but I just wish I feel that they were just throwaway characters
was, um, Oh my God, her, uh, Oh, Rosaline and Ruby.
Yeah.
They fricking sucked.
Yeah.
Like I love the actresses and like, they actually like banter off of each other very well, but
their characters are just so wasted.
Mm hmm.
Gosh, dude, this could have been such a good movie and one that actually felt like it needed
to be told.
Yeah.
Looking at you, Hocus Pocus too.
Yeah.
What the hell is up with fair?
Well, no, I mean, like it sucks that like we got two, um, I'm sorry to say straight
to Disney plus sequels this year that one were far too late and two were not even close
to as good as the original.
Yeah.
That really sucks.
Dude, they, they need better.
I don't know like what the hell they're thinking, but they need better writers.
They really do.
Like I hate that studios, uh, like honestly Disney think that, Oh, just because, uh, it's
going straight to Disney plus, it literally can just, uh, be, uh, written by someone that
would do Disney channel movies.
And that's like nothing against Disney channel movies.
Some of them are actually really good, but when I think of a sequel to Hocus Pocus or
enchanted, no, I want it actually as well written as the first one.
I don't want a Disney channeled sequel.
I want an actual true sequel.
Yeah.
This is the fricking bullshit that I felt with like any Disney sequels.
Like there are not very many Disney sequels that are better than the original.
There's some, like I think the Peter Pan like returned to Neverland.
I love that one as a sequel.
That one is really good.
I, I, like I said, I dare say, I think it's better than Peter Pan.
Like, um, but can we count Pixar or just Disney?
I'm going to suggest Disney cause Pixar does a decent job.
It does better.
It does better than Disney.
I think the only Pixar movie that like the sequel is like exceeds the first one in every
way to me is Toy Story 2.
Fair.
But I'll give you the other ones.
The other ones.
Yeah.
It's unfortunate.
Like, dude, like I understand that you're like making this for children, but why does
that have to affect your quality?
Yeah.
I hate to tell you people, kids are very smart.
You don't have to dumb shit down for them.
Yeah.
Like they're going to, like, I don't know.
I feel like as an adult, a lot of those movies are for me in a way because I have to sit
and watch them with my children.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Speaking of, did you show Iris either of Enchanted or Disenchanted or do you feel still a little
too young for him?
Uh, we didn't.
We, so me and Braille watched Disenchanted on our own, but we did watch Enchanted with
her and she, she seemed to like it.
Like she loved the songs.
Yeah, um, but this, this song, this fricking movie, we'll get into this with music.
Dude, I love that.
Um, I, I saw in the fricking, like on the Wikipedia page, this is, uh, the director
pointed out, oh yeah, we, we absolutely wanted to have more songs in this one than the first
time.
Like, yeah, that was your first mistake.
The first one had, the first one had a perfect amount of songs.
Yeah.
Even though they were like repeat.
I was okay with it.
Yeah.
But it, it was, I'm going to say it's just unfortunate.
I had, I had decent hopes for this, but this isn't something that I would like, like this
is something I would turn on for my kids and then leave the room.
Oh yeah.
I don't see myself going back to watch Disenchanted.
Enchanted?
Oh, absolutely.
Like I kick myself for, like I'm amazed that I don't think they've released this one yet
on 4k Disney.
What the hell?
Um, but when they do, I'm definitely buying it.
Cause I, I mean, I can't buy it on Blu-ray right now, but I think I'm just going to hold
out for the 4k release.
Cause I feel that there's gotta be one soon.
Um, but yeah, that one will absolutely be watched occasionally.
This sequel, it's a one and done.
I'm good.
Yeah.
The only reason that I would watch this again is if my kids just happened to turn it on.
Yeah.
It's like Iris is just like, Oh, I watched Enchanted.
Let's watch Disenchanted.
Yeah.
I was like, or alternatively, we can watch anything else.
It's like, what?
I don't know what you're talking about.
There was never a sequel to Enchanted.
It was just a one movie.
Dude, it was bad.
I think that would be the only, the only good time to lie to Iris.
Yep.
I agree.
I don't know where exactly I'm sitting with story here.
Cause like I said, it like, the story itself was very cliche, but it wasn't done well.
No.
It was a clea, like you said, cliche story, but just did not do well.
It would jump from character to character in such like a jumbled, almost disorientating
way.
Cause it jumped to them at random times too.
I'm like, I don't give a shit what Morgan's doing right now.
Yeah.
Oh, so frustrating.
Yeah.
It's like, I want to see what the hell or actually that's not true.
I felt when she pushed Morgan, I was like, okay, let's follow Morgan now.
Nope.
Don't get to see her for another 20 minutes.
Yeah.
You freaking, we followed Giselle doing her bullshit musical number with Maya Rudolph.
Yeah.
Dude, whenever like they would have Robert show up, I'm like, oh, hey, I forgot you were
in this movie.
Yeah.
Oh, we thought you were dead.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
You actually do have a storyline.
Good to fold me.
Yeah.
It's just a classic example of an A story being bad, a B story being bad, and then trying
to throw in a C story.
That's kind of fun, but not.
Yep.
It did not work.
Shit.
I'm at a 70.
I'm at like 67.
Completely fair.
All right, moving on over to writing.
It wasn't any better.
It was not any better.
It was like you said, like, or like we've already stated, it's just cliche, just dumb
writing.
Like it felt like the writers didn't put any effort into it.
Like, seriously.
Well, OK, there's like one, it's not really even smart, but at least that she called it
out when Morgan, it's like her first day at school.
And you know, since they have, so when they first get to their house, there's a sweet
moment where Giselle shows Morgan her room, how she decorated, how pretty it looks, like
she decorated to her liking.
It looks really, really nice.
You can tell she put a lot of care into it and Morgan loves it.
But then, excuse me, you know, movie got a movie.
So she flips on the light.
She flips on the light.
And of course, you know, the electricity is not good.
So it starts a fire and it burns all of her clothes.
And so on her first day, Morgan can't wear any of her clothes.
So she has to wear some of Giselle's clothes, which, you know, like have like all flowers
on them, all skirts, no pants.
And of course, like the cool girls or the popular girls point out, oh my God, like look
at all the flowers that are on her dress.
Like oh my God, is she in like elementary school or something?
I don't think like they said it like that.
Or did they?
They might have, for all I know.
But I did appreciate that she-
Such bullshit classic bully dialogue.
And it was horrible.
It was, but I appreciate that she pointed out like, oh God, you know, like classic, you
know, popular girls pointing out this kind of-
I forget exactly what line she says, but she does point out the cliche.
I'm like, okay.
That doesn't make it better.
It doesn't, but for some reason, like I appreciated that.
I know, but okay.
For me, that just points out that the writers knew what the hell they were doing and didn't
fix it.
They tried to back it up and you're just like, no, no, you should have just taken it out.
Yeah.
Like I hate that cliche.
Like dude, people picked on me in high school.
He was never that blatant.
Yeah, dude, same here.
Like I couldn't tell when people were talking about me.
Like I just accidentally would stumble across a rumor about me and be like, oh, who started
that?
Yeah.
Like that's what would fricking happen.
Like not people being like, oh, look at him.
There was this, speaking of like people commenting on like what you wear, there was this old lady
that started chatting up with me.
And she like, this like pissed me off what she said.
She commented on how I don't understand why, you know, like people that are in their like
thirties or forties, I see them wearing these like superhero shirts with like Thor and Iron
Man.
Like, come on, like grow up.
Like you can watch the movies, but I don't understand why you have to like wear it on
your shirt.
Come on.
You're supposed to be an adult.
Don't act like you're still a kid.
I'm like, screw you, bitch.
Like I'm going to wear whatever the hell I want.
Yeah.
Like 90% of my wardrobe is superhero attire.
And that's awesome.
I love that.
I'm basic.
Like I don't really see.
This is what's weird about me.
Like I love like designs on my like hoodies, like pullover hoodies, you know, like I got
some all bros.
I even got like some Ghostbusters Hawkeye that shit.
I love those on pullover hoodies.
Shirts though, like I really don't have a lot with like designs on them.
It's mostly just like plain V-necks or like the polo shirts.
I'm basic when it comes to just shirts, but hoodies I'm not.
I keep my shirts basic too.
Like all of my all bro shirts are designed the same way where it's the, the, our normal
logo like the red and blue or red, white and blue logo on the front, like on the pocket
area.
And then the back has like whatever artwork that I'm like super into.
Yeah.
See?
I'm like, yeah, when she said that I'm like, screw you.
Yeah.
She, like, she like literally got into the kids, probably never going to visit you in
the home.
They put you in seriously, dude, like straight up and like fricking, um, she, she was just
shitting on our generation.
And I'm just like, okay, I'm sorry that we can't be exactly like you were.
Times change.
We have to adapt.
Um, yeah, it must be nice.
Do you want these apples or not?
I don't have time to sit and talk to you about our generation.
Crazy bitch.
It's like, yeah.
So it's like, come, come back to me when you're actually able to pay for a house out of pocket
instead of having to take out two mortgages, um, in this day and age.
Yeah.
Frickin hell.
Dude, there's some old people that I really like and then there are others that I just
cannot stand.
Yeah.
Right.
Like, I hope your nurses are mean to you.
Oh dude, like straight up.
But anyway, getting back to, you know, cliches.
Yeah.
Which is just complete, just straight.
That should be the definition of the writing of this movie.
Cliche.
Yeah.
Cliche and self-aware because they knew what they were doing, but they, they still chose
to go the stupid route.
Yeah.
It's like they didn't put any thought into it.
They didn't.
Like where, where's the love that I felt the first one had?
Yeah, dude, straight up.
The first one just seemed to had so much care.
They wanted to tell a very good fairy tale story, which it did.
But this sequence was just like.
Was it cheesy?
Was the dialogue cheesy then?
Absolutely.
I feel though it works though, because she was just.
Yeah, it absolutely worked in its favor.
Yeah.
She had just got, yeah, she just got transported out of a fairy tale story.
That makes complete sense that it's going to be that kind of writing.
This one, considering that she's been living in New York City for 10 years, the writing
that is around her and even the writing that comes out of Giselle's mouth or the lines
that come out of her mouth.
It shouldn't be this cliche.
You've had 10 years to adapt to how New Yorkers talk, how us in this world talk.
Yeah, come on.
Dude, and I am calling bullshit on Morgan still being in school.
Yeah.
Like how old do you think she was?
And I thought she was like 9, 10.
I think that's what she was supposed to be, because in this one, yeah, she's 16.
But it's actually like they, I think they actually said that if you're like going off
like the actress's age, yeah, she was like eight or nine.
And considering that this takes place 10 years later, she would have been about 20 years
old.
So yeah, she would have been graduated from high school, everything.
So it would have made sense.
This, I mean, this goes into acting, but the actress that played Morgan in the original
one was actually recast in this movie because the actress that they replaced her with is
closer to the age that they were work.
They wanted her to be.
But yeah, the fact that they're just like, oh yeah, 10 years later.
You know what?
I forgot.
They actually do say that Morgan is six and enchanted.
All right.
She looked older than six.
She was absolutely older than six.
But okay, if they establish that that she is sick.
I do remember them doing that because they her and her dad were talking.
I forget what they were talking about in a cab ride.
But she's just like, yeah, I'm only six.
Why am I supposed to understand that or some shit like that?
Okay.
I'll, I'll let that slide then.
Yeah.
But so that's the reason why I guess that they wanted to recast.
But yeah, anyway, we'll save that for acting.
But yeah, the writing is so cliche.
It's so cliche.
It's not good.
I think it's better than the story though.
Yes, I would agree with that.
But like not by much.
I'm only going up like a point.
Seventy one.
I think I'm going to go a little bit lower than you.
I think I'm going like a 70.
I mean, that's three points higher for you.
Yeah.
So it like the reason I'm going to 70 is because it was just below average.
Like my, my, my scale or the way that I do it is like my, my baseline is 75 and you're
working from a 75.
I like that.
And it's just, and then like, if it's a little bit above average, you can get up to like
an 85 and it's like really good 90.
So it's just a little bit below average just because of the cliches.
But I think I properly hit the, my critique on that in my, in the story.
Yeah.
So I mean, just dialogue itself.
I'm not going to hit it too hard or too much harder.
Yeah.
All right.
In acting we have Amy Adams who played Giselle, Patrick Dempsey who plays Robert, Maya Rudolph
who played Malvina, Gabriella Baldaccino who plays Morgan, James Marsden who plays Edward,
Adina Menzel who plays Nancy.
And then we'll throw in the other two.
Yvette Nicole Brown who plays Rosaline and Jemma Mays who plays Ruby.
I was telling Caleb this because apparently I am very bad at recognizing Adina Menzel.
I think it's because the bangs.
That's what was throwing me off.
I straight up thought that they recasted her character for this movie, but no, she plays,
she plays her in both movies.
I had no idea.
Yep.
Yeah, it was, I'll say this.
My biggest complaint about the first one is that they did not use Adina Menzel to her
fullest potential.
They didn't.
I mean, I'm sure considering that came out in 2007, I don't know if she was really singing
that much back then.
So that could be the reason why.
I don't know.
She's professionally trained.
She, okay.
Cause I mean, Frozen came out what?
Like five years after that?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure she's on Broadway now.
Oh shit.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I mean, she's had some serious acting or not act.
Well, I guess acting or singing.
Like if she's on Broadway.
Yeah, no, no, you got a point.
But yeah, I will say I am glad that they used her a little bit more for singing in this.
And I do think her songs were probably the best.
Yeah I'll fully admit.
I liked her memory song better than I'm sorry to say, Giselle got.
Yeah.
Like, dude, how were they cringy?
Yeah.
And like, why are you going to do Amy Adams dirty like that?
Yeah.
Like she can sit, she like like a Dina Menzel in my opinion, Amy Adams also has a voice
of an angel.
Yeah.
I mean, she's not as professionally trained or whatnot, but true.
What's throwing me off like really bad is how, how the hell they pulled it off at the
first one, but couldn't snap the ball on time with this one.
Yeah.
Like when she went to go sing in this one, it was awkward.
Yeah it really was.
Like and I know that's the point because that's how the first one is like, Oh, do you guys
just like break in a song whenever you can?
No, but it was awkward.
So okay, with the first one, when she started singing, I felt awkward for Robert.
Okay, yeah, that's true.
With this, I felt awkward for her.
Yeah, that which is, it felt like in the first one also like how like everyone joined in
like with, with a lot of her numbers, no one joined in on this one.
Yeah, no one.
They're just like all looking at her like what the hell, like especially the guy that
like she takes the broom from when she's doing like the song that she sings at the new house,
like the look that he gives her, especially even when he, she gives her at her back, he's
just like the full lady and then just goes back to work.
Like calm your ass down, dude.
You're in a musical.
It felt so odd.
It was, it was, it was bad.
Yeah.
Cause I think it's even Morgan that says the line, Oh, do you, I can't remember who says
the line, but someone says the line in this movie that, Oh, do all you and Alasians just
sing whatever, whenever you're trying to get a point across, like you don't talk.
And one of them is just like, yep, when we can.
I think that was Edward that that's that was, yeah.
Okay.
That, which I mean, that was funny.
Yeah.
That was actually funny.
All right.
Who, what's your, what's your top three?
Number three, I would, I would probably give to, it's freaking tough.
Isn't it?
It is.
Okay.
You know what?
Number three, I'll give to, God damn it.
This is hard.
Okay.
Sorry.
I'm sorry, cause I always forget her name.
Sorry.
One second.
I apologize.
Okay.
You know what?
I'll just, I'll save number three for, for last number one.
Absolutely Amy Adams.
She she is definitely doing her best in this movie.
It's she is not as good in this one as she was in the first one, but it is not her fault
in my opinion.
Nope.
It is the script that she was giving given if she is trying her best so much, she is
trying so hard, but unfortunately, uh, the script lets her down.
Um, I will say the only thing that she said that I actually like laughed at was when she
realized like her situation, like when she, uh, realized that she was like turning into
the evil stepmother and she's just like, Oh my gosh, my hair is so high and my shirt is
so low.
I'm like, that made me laugh.
And then I like after that, I was just like, there wasn't very much that made me laugh
after that.
Yeah.
Like, eh, that's, that's well done.
Um, number, uh, can I actually do four?
Is that okay?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Uh, number two, it's the same thing with Amy Adams or like, I feel the same thing with
this actor with Amy Adams.
I give it to James Marsden as Edward, like he is doing his best with what he's given.
He's still so great as Edward, but he's barely given anything to work with this movie and
it sucks cause he was so incredible in the first one, just like Adams, but he's barely
given Jack shit to do in this movie.
Um, this is exactly why I think he should have been the focus of this one.
Yeah.
Like, come on.
Um, and then number, number three and four, like it's not, I would say it's like almost
tie, but I feel like I liked number three, just a little bit more.
Um, three and four I would give to Yvette Nicole Brown and then for Jemma Mays.
Is it, is it Jemma or Jemma?
Jemma.
I love, I love these two actresses and I really wish that the characters were written better
because I love what they were trying to do with these characters.
I laughed whenever they were on screen together, they bantered off each other so well.
Yvette, she is so good at comedy.
Like if you've seen Drake and Josh, her is Helen.
She's fricking incredible.
She's one of the best parts of that whole show.
Um, and this one, she just absolutely delivered once again with her being like her, the true
right hand, um, to Meyer Rudolph's character.
Um, just how she just took her shit.
Um, I especially love the part where towards the end, like, um, when, um, she's, um, Maya's
talking to Amy Adams and, um, she sees that her C is vacant.
She like starts leaning towards it.
She's like, not your C. Okay.
Just the little shit like that.
Like I fricking loved it.
I love those two and I just wish that they had more to do and I just wish that the characters
had more of a purpose.
They really were just there to compliment Maya.
I know that was kind of the point.
Um, and I did find it funny that both of them get turned into toads.
That was kind of, that was a slap in the face for Rosaline that she really thought Ruby
was the only one that was going to become a toad.
Cause she thought that she was, um, what is her actual name?
Uh, Malvina's favorite, but it turns out she really hated them both.
Um, they, well, she thought they were both dumb.
Um, so yeah, that, that's my top four.
That's fair.
Um, my number one, I think I'm actually going to give to James Marsden.
Dude, I don't blame you.
I love it.
Cause I like, he was the only one that like consistently felt exactly how he did in the
first, even though he was animated like way worse, like his, his voice like still projected
and he still like acted like how Edward was.
So I loved it.
Amy Adams, I'm giving a close number to like really fricking close because again, she did
the best she could with what she was given.
Yeah.
And unfortunately what she was given was not very good.
No.
Um, my number three, surprisingly, I'm going to give to Gabriella Baldacina who plays Morgan.
That's absolutely fair.
As cheesy as her acting or not acting, her dialogue was, I think she played it off pretty
well.
Like all like my writing issues have nothing to do with how she delivered the lines.
They had everything to do with what was being said.
Yeah, that, yeah, that's fair.
I think she did a fantastic job, like kind of playing that like Cinderella role.
It was really fun.
Yeah.
I agree.
Yeah.
So that's what my top three looks like.
I like it.
All right.
What are you sitting with, uh, with your acting score then?
I would say that I am probably a little, I am higher, um, than both story and writing,
that's not by much.
Um, so acting, I'll go a 75.
That's actually exactly where I was sitting too.
Hell yeah.
It was just as average as average can get.
Yeah, it really was.
And it's the writing's fault because you have a really good cast, like a great cast.
Yeah.
Just the writing just doesn't give them the due that they deserve.
Yeah.
You jacked up royally.
Yeah.
First off, like, yeah, first off, you did not have to give, um, Giselle a baby.
Completely unnecessary.
So wasteful.
Yeah.
It's like the baby was just kind of like sidelined.
Like you freaking handed her off to the fairies to watch.
Yeah.
Seriously though, which I got to say, uh, the fairies were creepy.
Yeah.
Like, so, and not in like, like, Ooh, they scare me away.
It's so the, they get out of the fricking moving van or their vehicle, like getting
into their new, getting to their new house.
These three women are like, come in, like, they don't even introduce themselves and they're
just kind of like, Oh, what a cute baby.
If you ever need someone to watch them, I don't know you stranger.
I feel like get out of my house, get out of my house, get out of my house.
Yeah.
I was like, uh, about no.
And then it was like, Oh, they turned into fairies.
I'm like, okay.
Like, so you, you set them up to be fairies and it was just, since when do fairies come
across as that creepy?
Yeah.
Like the human forms, like they were in there for no other purpose than to take care of
the baby, like get the baby out of the way.
So guess what?
Get rid of the baby.
Yeah, exactly.
I get you're trying to be like sleeping boot.
You're trying to throw in a reference to sleeping beauty, but no, you didn't need to.
Yeah.
Like you could have had the fairies still in this movie without the baby.
Yeah.
It would have been fine, but freaking stupid.
Yeah.
Absolutely stupid.
Um, yeah, I was trying to think of like this other thing that felt bad, but whatever.
Um, so yeah, acting, sitting at 75 character development.
There was not a lot.
No.
Um, and I feel what ruins the character development for me is the fact that the, the first movie
sets because I'm sorry, I have to relate the way that this sequel is told to the first
movie because it's a sequel.
You're going to compare it to the first one.
That's how a sequel works.
So the fact that in the first one, I feel it is set up very well that Morgan accepts
Giselle as a mother figure more so, not even like a really step mom, but she sees her as
more of her mom because she didn't really, she didn't really even know her mom.
Her mom just walked out on them.
Um, so considering that, you know, Giselle actually reads her bedtime stories.
She takes her shopping.
She does like, she's like a true motherly figure to her.
Like I said, she considers her, her mom.
And then in this one, even though I get, she's a teenager, but still we do a freaking one
80 of her being like, Oh no, she's just a stepmother to me and that's all she'll ever
be.
Um, and so that sets into effect the care.
Oh, sorry.
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Yeah.
I thought her mom died.
No.
Her mother walked out.
Yep.
Why?
Why in the actual hell would you not use that?
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Cause yeah, I thought, uh, yeah, I thought that she had died too.
But then when they're in the first one, uh, Patrick Dempsey and her sitting down at dinner,
um, he points out like, Oh, you know, uh, you know, love sometimes you're a happily
ever after doesn't exist.
You know, I thought I was getting one with, with my wife, but then I realized once I really
got to know her that I didn't.
And then, you know, she walked out and of course I had to take full responsibility of
Morgan.
That's your movie.
Right?
That what in the, that's the fricking movie right there.
That son of a bitch.
How do you, I thought, okay, I thought the mom died.
I thought, okay, mom's out of the picture completely walked out.
You can come back from that.
Yeah.
What in actual shit?
Okay.
I'll really quickly.
I'm going to come.
Okay.
Like, cause I'm kind of second guessing myself.
Cause I swore she did walk out.
Uh, like I swore dude, if she, if, okay, like I wasn't paying super close attention when
that scene happened, like when they had that conversation, but it is kind of like ringing
a little bit of a bell.
That's your fricking story.
Yeah.
You've had your happily ever after.
You have a family in this, in this new reality that you live in.
And suddenly, Oh, here comes real mom coming into like reclaim her spot.
And then you can have this bullshit like, Oh, Oh my gosh.
Dude, then you can have her be the evil queen in this like little messed up reality.
Are you shitting me?
Right?
Dude, the writers dropped the ball even harder than I thought they did.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, no, I swear.
I'm like 99% sure that yeah, the mom just walked out.
So the fact that they try to set up the character development in this one that, Oh yeah, she
she's only a stepmother to her.
And so we have to do this story with Giselle that she becomes the truly wicked stepmother.
And she's like really coming into her true form, but she's like trying to fight it.
Just, it's just so stupid.
And I hated it so much.
It was bad.
It's like, it's a slap in the face to the first one.
Yep.
The, so the character development on this, I couldn't in good conscience do this on one
character like obviously Giselle, cause she was the supposed main focus of this.
Like it kind of was a Giselle Morgan relationship that developed, but it didn't, it was tough.
Like you said, it's just like a cliche arc where it's like, Oh, now you're just my stepmother.
Oh, now I remember like why I love you.
And then boom, back to like good relationship after you save, save her from this, this becoming
the evil stepmother.
Like, come on.
This movie could have been so much better.
Like you, I dude in the, okay.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So someone just proved it.
Yeah.
And they like had the same thing that they like their entire family thought that the
mother died.
But yeah, they remember the scene in the Italian restaurant that he straight up says the reason
why he doesn't believe in happily ever afters is because his wife just walked out on him
and Morgan, dude, we in this, in this hour that we've been discussing this movie, we
have already come up with two alternative stories that are infinitely better than this
movie.
Yep.
Like option one, you focus on Edward and Nancy and Nancy like struggling with this whole
happily ever after bullshit because she's in from the real world.
And then Giselle and Robert and Morgan have to go back to Andalasia to like help.
But guess what?
It was expensive.
I get it.
Like don't want to do that.
Do the fricking mother coming back into the picture.
Are you shitting me?
That would have been so good.
That really would have.
I would have told that would have honestly, even though this movie enchanted didn't need
a sequel, that one, I could have excused for giving it a sequel for like trying to patch
up a loose end of like, Oh, what actually really happened to Morgan's mom?
Yeah.
Like that would have been perfect where it's Morgan kind of focusing more on this relationship
with her estranged mother.
They get closer.
Giselle is jealous about it, like has a couple sad songs about it.
And then she makes this wish that, Oh, I wish like things were like a fairy tale where like
she was just kind of like gone or whatever, like, or whatever you think, whatever you
think like, including the whole wishing thing.
And then it turns into like, where she's the evil stepmother and like is trying to get
rid of the mother and, and blah, blah, blah.
But Morgan like has this sense of like duty to like free her from this, this fate.
And like, you could have pulled off this entire story with that back story.
And it would have been so much better.
Yeah.
And then it's like, it's like instead of whatever bullshit, like weird relationship that Giselle
now has with Malvina, she now has like, Oh, a tight knit relationship with her mother
or like with Morgan's like biological mother and being like, Oh, we can share like that
would have been such good growth.
Yep.
Gosh.
And you still could have like, like Maya Rudolph's like, okay, Maya Rudolph might have been a
bit of a stretch for Morgan's mother.
Dude, I just thought, yeah, that's the same thing.
But hey, you know what?
It pulled it off.
Maybe you honestly could have, I feel, and it probably would have been better than what
we got here.
It's still wouldn't have been better.
You dropped the ball, Disney.
You dropped it so fricking hard.
Yep.
But anyway, enough of what it could have been.
What it was, was completely average.
Yeah.
I mean, I did appreciate like the parts of like where she's like fighting it, like trying
to be like, Oh, you know, I'm, you know, still the good Giselle, but then she's just like,
Oh, but you know what?
I like this evil side.
I like being able to transition into the, this role.
So and I feel that just proves like how good of an actress Amy Adams is with how she's
just able to play two different parts.
So I really liked that.
But her voice change between like good and evil was just like, Oh, like really breathy
and just high pitched.
And then as soon as she went evil, it's just low, low.
Yeah.
And I'm like, Oh, damn.
Yeah, this is awesome.
I loved it.
But it's just, it, the, the development makes no sense if you're thinking about what happens
in the first one.
Yeah.
At no point was Morgan and I know she was only six years old, but still at no point
was she's just, was she like, Oh no, she's just my stepmother.
That's all she is.
No, it's established.
And the first one, she's excited.
Well, you gotta think too, like I am going to play devil's advocate here for the, for
the movie because at the time she was six years old, she's now like angsty teen, like
you're not really my mom.
If okay.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
So that's just devil's advocate there.
Just, I mean, just because I play that doesn't mean it's good by any means.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Like I said, even with like that, like I hated that, like at the beginning, like she, like
it seems like she's really accepted her as mom.
She's just, she actually even calls her, she calls her mom.
She doesn't just, yeah.
Like a few times.
Yeah.
Like mom, stop it, you know, all that shit.
And then it just, all of a sudden it's just like, Oh, she's just my stepmom.
That's all she'll ever be.
Like where the hell did that come from?
Yeah.
Freaking crazy.
Like that was rough.
That was like really tough to watch.
Yeah, dude, straight up.
This might actually be my lowest.
Really?
Yeah.
I, I'm at a 65.
Oh damn.
654.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'm quite in the sixties or yeah, I don't think I'm quite in the sixties
yet with this.
I am fairly low, but I think I'm like maybe 71.
Okay.
I think it's hard because it's like, I, it was just below average for me.
Like they eventually like makeup and just whatever cliche is, is all hell.
I just, I don't know.
To me, I just hate it so much because it's out of character to me for Morgan.
That's what I hate so much about it.
That her, the way that it's so much out of character for Morgan sets up not great character
development for Giselle.
Yeah.
I mean, I definitely see your point there.
It does come out of left field.
Like, it's like one instance where Morgan kind of gets embarrassed.
Yeah, but like, come on.
Like, was it really that bad?
I would say like any rational or any teens at once.
Yeah.
Like I understand that.
I'm trying to think from like my, my bitchy angsty teenage phase.
Caleb was an asshole when we were teenagers.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
But what I'm thinking like there is like, if my mother would have done something like
that.
And I wasn't really like someone that got embarrassed super easy.
So it would have had been something like big because like I was so unafraid of like embarrassment
and stuff.
Like my mom in junior high, so like I'm like in seventh or eighth grade, actually I think
it was eighth grade.
So in eighth grade, my mom came to school with me and sat in on all of my classes because
she thought I was slacking off, which was not the case.
Because like none of my teachers like complained about me like talking or like being disruptive
or anything.
It's just, I wouldn't turn in my homework.
Like that, that's where my issue lied.
I swear you've told me this story, but like that doesn't surprise me at all.
Cause I could totally see your mom doing that.
Yeah.
It doesn't even shock me at all.
Yeah.
And so she came in and like saw what my day to day at school was, which, and I told everyone,
like everyone was just like, Oh, who's that?
I'm like, Oh, that's my mom.
Like I didn't have any shame.
Wasn't trying to like hide it from anyone.
And then when, like at the end of the day, like it was like right before I was going
to do go to PE.
And so my mom wasn't going to sit in and watch me in PE.
So she's like, Hey, I got some things I got to go do.
So I'm taking off.
And I was like, okay.
And in the middle of like, like the entryway of the junior high, like in front of like
everyone going to their next class or whatever, I like gave my mom a hug and like kissed her
on the cheek and was like, I'll see you after school.
And then walked off.
And I think only one person was like even attempted to make a joke.
And I like just kind of brush it off.
Like, okay.
Like I was walking, that person was me.
That's how we met.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
Um, but no, like I don't even remember what the comment was.
Like, cause it was just something that was just so out, like, like, okay, whatever.
Like it was more embarrassing for them, like after they said it, where they're just like,
Oh, good one.
Yeah.
Like all I remember telling them, cause they just said like, was that your mom?
Like, yeah.
And then like looked at them like they were a fricking idiot.
And then like, uh, and then like walked off.
Like it was just something so stupid, like such a stupid interaction.
But like my mom sat in on like a couple of my, my school days and like both times, like
even like in front of like all of my, my peers, I gave my mom a hug and kissed her on the
cheek.
I never got embarrassed.
Yeah.
I see nothing wrong with that.
And so maybe I'm like the wrong person.
Maybe I need to talk to someone who's like currently in a like angsty phase.
But I don't know if I would have been like, I think that would have embarrassed me.
Like if she was trying to like put on this big promotion, like encouraging people to
vote for me for whatever, like this Prince or whatever for like a festival or whatever
the hell it was, like a ball.
I think it was a, I think it was a ball.
I think so.
Yeah.
But it's like, I don't know if I would have been embarrassed enough if my mom was like
a step-parent.
I don't know if I would have been embarrassed enough to be like, she's just my stepmother.
Like, just like, like you said, felt very out of character, especially from someone
like calling a mom.
Like I would almost expect that from someone who called like if she, if Morgan called her
Giselle.
Yeah.
Like that I would understand a little bit more.
Well that would make a lot of sense actually.
Yeah.
But the fact that she was straight up calling her mom, it just, it just, no, it didn't work.
Made no sense.
So I might've actually talked myself down to the sixties.
I love it.
I think I'm going to go 68 on this one.
All right.
I like it.
All right, moving on over to effects.
These weren't horrible.
They weren't, but I definitely had some problems.
Like you pointed out the animation in, um, the 2D animation, the 2D.
Yes.
Thank you.
The 2D animation and, um, uh, what's the town again?
Andalasia Andalasia, definitely a step down from the
first one.
That's a huge step down.
Really?
That's really sad considering that the first one came out in 2007.
But yeah, it was that, um, I swear that the baby or Giselle's daughter, um, was CGI in
some parts, at least her head.
Cause like, yeah, if someone says, Oh no, completely real.
Like in every single shot, I'm calling bullshit.
I'm sorry.
Um, that did not look like a real baby in some shots.
Yep.
Um, and two, uh, when, um, Pip is turned it's Pip, right?
That's his name.
Yeah.
Chipmunk when he's turned into a cat.
Um, I get what they were trying to do.
You know, they wanted him to look like a chipmunk, uh, mixed in with a, um, yeah.
Chipmunk mixed in with a cat.
Like I get what they were trying to do.
Um, but it just did not work because the CGI looks so freaking bad.
It looked wretched.
Like, Oh yeah, that is one of the worst CGI cats I have ever fricking seen.
Like it didn't even look like a real cat.
Like I don't care if someone tries to say, Oh yeah, no, I could totally see it.
That cat was there.
No bullshit.
You're lying to yourself.
Yeah.
The cat is definitely one thing that I'm docking for in like way of 3d animation.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
It's that and definitely the baby head, but not like a whole lot for that.
Okay.
Just cause it was like so quick.
I feel like they didn't really, I feel like the baby didn't need to be there at all.
No, such a waste.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Cute kid, very, very, uh, cute little girl.
Um, but yeah, so, so wasted.
Yeah.
So not, but my, my biggest gripe was the 2d animation.
The 2d animation in the first one was incredible.
It felt like classic Disney, but it like felt like it flowed better, like had a higher frame
rate.
Yeah.
So like all their movement was really smooth and like just elegant.
And here it just felt so choppy.
It was like this really.
I feel this, um, cause you know, like they, they'll compare like animation between like
the original movie and then the straight to DVD sequels, you could do the exact same with
this.
The animation in the first one, amazing.
That's like princess and the frog level, because I feel that these, those movies came out about
the same time.
So I can compare that 2d animation to that.
Both look fantastic.
Um, whereas with this one, I'm going to compare it to some of the straight to DVD, uh, animated
sequels, uh, that they had, um, because yeah, it, it, it did not look good.
Um, like honestly, I'm thinking like Cinderella to kind of animation, dude, you might've hit
that right on the head.
Yes.
Yeah.
Um, it's, this one's a tough one for me.
I, I, okay.
I think I'm sitting at like an 83 because like the, what was, what was shown was good.
The yeah, like overall, like if just collectively everything like looked pretty decent, but the
things that I'm docking for are the stupid cat, the baby and the 2d animation.
Like that's where 2d animation is where Disney used to shine.
What happened?
It got too expensive.
Which I don't know that like really shocks me.
I would think that 3d animation would be so much more expensive to do, but apparently
at 2d and yeah, but apparently 2d animation is so much more expensive.
That's why they stopped doing it.
Yeah.
That just really shocks me.
Dude, like it's like not even, I feel they could have improved on this.
Like, have you seen the short, uh, oh, what's the paper airplane one?
It's like a black and white and it's like this dude like throwing the paper planes.
Is it the one that like, is that the one like the, uh, they're like waiting for like a train
or some shit?
Yeah.
Yes.
I forget what it's called, but yeah, I know exactly which one you're talking about.
I just watched a video on how that one was made and the process to do something like
that is stupid easy.
So what they do is animation is amazing.
Yeah.
Like what, so what Disney does is they animate all of that in three dimensional space and
then they put like their own kind of homebrewed program on top of that, that applies vectors,
like vector lines to the outside of the image and she kind of shows like different highlights
and stuff.
So it will like outline the highlights.
It'll like, it'll basically like draw it for you.
And I'm like, why don't you use that?
Yes, seriously though, like come on.
Like it's not, obviously it's easy enough to do where you feel comfortable enough to
use it in a short.
Yeah.
Like why not fricking just drop the money and like give us something like, like give
us some like amazing fricking 2d artwork.
Like probably because that's what pisses me off.
All their shorts and stuff, like they like, they have a whole series, like it's like short
circuit or something like that where animators like are given this opportunity to create
a short based off of a story that they create in the Disney animated world.
Yeah.
And I think Pixar kind of does it too.
It might be Pixar that's doing it.
So I mean, maybe, but I feel like Disney has such an end with Pixar, but anyway, it's like,
I'm going to be very interested to see, cause I feel that there's going to be some changeups
with both Disney animation and Pixar.
I don't think Pete doctor is going to change from being the like president of Pixar, but
I feel the president of Disney animation, I forget her name.
I feel she might be out because I feel Bob Iger from the unfortunate box office failure
of not only light year, but the new movie strange world.
Like how I think I just saw an article that said that movies projected to lose a hundred
million at the box office because it opened so poorly.
I feel that there is going to be a lot of, there's going to be a lot of changes both
at Pixar and at Disney animation.
Good dude.
Cause I do is dropping the ball.
I mean, at least, I mean we did, they did give us in counter last year.
So they're definitely, there's been some hits and there's been some misses.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I feel like disenchanted was one that was just like really quick.
So I think that one might've been under the watchful eye of the other CEO.
Like, I don't know if Bob Iger would've been like overseen that one.
It was probably Bob JPEG still.
Yeah.
Cause and Kanto would've been in production for a really long time.
Like even when like covered some of Bob Iger.
Yeah.
So I bet Iger oversaw a lot of that.
Like, and then it's just the quality after that.
It's kind of.
What I love is like, um, people will stay, will say like, oh yeah, but in Kanto only
gross 250 million at the box office with a budget of 200 million.
It was still box office flop.
If you're looking at just the box office, yes, not a great box office run, but you got
to remember that last November people were still so skeptical about going back to the
movie theaters with COVID and everything.
And then also once that movie hit Disney plus literally, I feel since it hit Disney plus
on Christmas Eve last year, it has been in the top 10 every single fricking week.
It is made up for its lackluster blockbuster blockbuster box office.
And then some for how much viewing it has gotten on Disney plus and Kanto did fine and
Kanto did great.
Yeah.
Like if we don't get a sequel to when Kanto I'd be genuinely shocked.
I really would too.
Because yeah, and Kanto frozen definitely more popular, but in Kanto is definitely up there
now.
Yeah, it for sure is.
And Disney freaking needs to get on the Louisa March bandwagon.
Dude, straight up.
Dude, like there are so many toys out there like in Kanto toys.
Like we almost bought Iris this Mirabelle doll, but it came with an Isabella doll and
Iris doesn't give a shit about Isabella.
She loves Louisa.
Oh shit.
Like shit like I so one of my coworkers had a birthday party for her grandson, I think,
or like a neighborhood kid, but they had like in Kanto buttons.
And so she's just like, Hey, I know you're you said your kid really likes in Kanto like
you want these extra ones I had I'm like, sure.
So I grabbed those.
She would pick Iris picked out all the Louisa ones.
And then just through the like the like she really loves Mirabelle and she really loves
Louisa.
She like I said, she could give a shit about Isabella.
It's funny if you because because I'm always very interested to see like how like certain
characters sell more than other characters when it comes to like merchandise like that.
So I've actually like gone down to like where they sell in Kanto toys.
And they actually had like a display of like because they actually made the whole Madrigal
family, which is really cool.
But you can definitely tell which ones are more rare than others like the three most
rare that I've seen are actually so it's Augustine.
Never find him Felix as well.
And then I think the other one is Dolores.
You can and I guess Peppa as well.
Like I feel bad that like those are like most of Peppa side of the family.
A lot of people don't really care about this is really sad.
Like I feel like out of everyone Antonio is the one Antonio is the one that they care
the most about.
So if you're like looking at like who has the most I feel it's Louisa like had like
a decent amount and Mirabelle definitely because you know she's the main star but like freaking
they have like rows of freaking Isabella not only in her regular outfit but in her like
where she's like covered in paint.
Yeah no one gives a shit about Isabella.
At least like out of the kids that I know like they love Louisa.
No because Louisa is a great character.
She's actually throughout the whole movie she's actually a very good sister to Mirabelle
unlike I know Isabella actually gets redeemed at the end but she's just such a bitch to
Mirabelle.
I'm sorry to say she is a bitch to Mirabelle up until the last 30 minutes of the movie.
Yep.
And even when freaking Abuela confronts Mirabelle about what she did to Isabella.
Isabella doesn't come to her defense she just stands there.
Okay well everyone just stands there.
That's true.
So I don't know I feel Isabella should have come to her defense because she was in the
situation with her.
It shouldn't have had to turn into a Mirabelle being like you know what this just truly proves
that I will never be good enough for you.
I mean it's a great emotional scene but still.
Great movie.
Really is.
If y'all haven't seen Encanto yet what the hell is wrong with you.
It is a great Disney movie.
Go check out our breakdown about that one too.
Yeah.
Anyway getting back to disenchanted.
Yeah.
Yeah the effects just very underwhelming for what I feel Disney is capable of.
Yeah so I definitely I match you with 83.
Absolutely.
Alright moving on over to music.
They dropped the ball.
First one was so much better.
So much better.
I will say this like the songs were decent in this one but they weren't as catchy.
They weren't.
Like I can't frickin I still can't get happy working song out of my head.
That song is stuck in there.
Dude that was in Brielle's head for like a week.
How does she know.
Yeah.
And that just proves that they're well written songs in that first one.
And then there's this one and this one.
Nothing gets my Rudolph.
She's a great actress.
I love her.
She cannot sing.
I honestly that's the least of their problems.
It is.
But just I'm sorry I have to point it out like when it's like her and Amy Adams doing
that duet.
I'm like yeah Amy Adams is doing great.
My Rudolph I know you're trying and I know you tried in A Christmas Story Live.
I'm sorry I just can't sing.
I appreciate the effort though.
This one is has been a really tough one for me to like think of like what I would give
the music because it's just the music works for the scenes.
So I'm trying to like put all bias aside.
They work for the scenes.
They work for the messages that they're trying to get across.
And they do have a pretty decent tune.
Most of them.
There's some that I'm like okay this feels like really like a forced rhyme.
Yeah I feel that the way I'm trying to look at it is what would I give the first one because
this one is definitely like a point step down.
Like the first one I'd probably give a nine.
I'd be leaning more towards a ten.
Yeah you know fair enough.
Okay ten for the first one.
This one I'm sitting like an eight.
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
I was like eight maybe high seven but yeah eight.
I can agree with that.
Yeah like seven and a half seems like the decent range but since we don't do halves.
Yeah we round up here on the Albreos.
Yep we do.
The costumes were freaking killer in this one.
Oh yeah costumes were freaking fantastic.
I have like nothing bad to say about the costumes.
I don't either.
I'm going ten.
No I'll give you ten.
I'll give you ten all day.
They were fantastic.
Like they did a great job.
Just as good as the first one.
Yeah if not better.
Dude like yeah I would agree.
I loved Giselle's dresses so much in this one.
Gorgeous.
Dude I am such a sucker when it comes to like the whole good girl gone bad.
I love it.
I found myself anytime like Giselle went back to being good I'm just like aww.
But she like she freaking rocked those like evil stepmother outfits.
It was so weird seeing Amy Adams play like a bad like someone bad but I loved it.
Yeah it was so you were about to say bad girl weren't you?
Yeah I resisted.
I can see it in your eyes.
We're going to try to keep it G this episode.
Attempt to.
Yeah.
Not like we've been cussing up a storm like we usually do.
Yeah but hey I haven't said the F word fully yet.
Not yet I'm not going to on this episode.
You gotta give me that.
Fair enough.
But yeah like solid 10.
Like I'd say I'm closer to a nine and a half.
I'm like I can agree with that.
And this is another one where it's like one out of ten but like I'd be more maybe the
high like 9.6 range.
Just because I don't think the like the silhouettes are like quite there.
They're close.
They are really freaking close but I just don't I think they're just missing something
defining about them.
That's fair.
That's absolutely fair.
But the reason I'm giving it a 10 is because like the intricacies of these these dresses
and outfits were just phenomenal.
Yeah dude straight up.
So yeah.
Like especially when they started like after the Wish.
Like when they started going to like the Monroe Laeja.
Monroe Asia whatever that place is called.
I already forgot to.
Or Monroeville.
Whatever the hell it's called.
Like once like all the the people were kind of dressed in more like fantasy garb.
Like that's where the outfits like really stood out to me.
So I thought well done.
Like yeah Monroe Laeja.
Monroe Laeja.
That's another thing like you couldn't come up with a better freaking name.
Yeah.
Anyway yeah.
So costumes.
I think we've been decently harsh on this movie.
So I think a 10 is deserved.
Agreed.
All right last up we got our own personal score.
Who do you want to take it first?
I'll take this one first.
Okay.
This was a sequel that we absolutely did not need.
Like we've stated multiple times.
And there are much better stories to be told than what was told.
Ones that would have felt more necessary to be told.
Than this just absolutely cliche teenage angst storytelling.
Like they did throw in some like good stuff with it.
Like oh I wish fairy tale world.
It's just it was odd.
It wasn't great.
And there was a lot of things that was just like bullshit.
Where like I thought the whole like like have to make the wish or like to cancel the wish
by midnight.
I thought that whole thing where they went to go stop the clock tower from dinging.
I'm like that's not how time works.
Thank you.
Like guess what?
It's past midnight you assholes.
That's not the only freaking clock dumbasses.
Like I would have laughed my ass off if another bell started going off.
Son of a bitch.
And like weren't the bells already ringing by the time they like ran up to the top?
That's what was like throwing me off.
Like yeah you'd hear like a chime like oh it's already midnight.
And then some character would point out oh got one minute till midnight.
I'm like wait it chimes when it's a minute till midnight?
I know that a lot of clocks will do that.
It's usually like 30 seconds.
Really?
Yeah.
It's like 30 seconds or a minute.
I know my grandmother's clock did that.
That would throw me off so much.
So like I mean I like that but like I kind of hate it at the same time.
Yeah okay well kind of.
So it was like her clock would go like would would ring according to the time.
So like you could hear how many times it like went ding ding and that's like what time it
was.
Like every hour on the hour.
So when it was three a ding ding ding at five ding ding ding ding ding.
I had to count.
And then at midnight it would like chime 12 times.
So like by the so it's like that would be the strike of midnight.
Would be like when when the chime was over.
So it would ring 12 times and then like the 12th time it'd be like past the minute.
So it'd be like 1201.
So I don't know if that's how it worked but I personally feel like they were too late
to have saved the town.
I absolutely agree.
Absolutely agree.
But what do we know movies got a movie.
So I left this movie disappointed.
I rewatched the first Enchanted just because I wanted like a refresher because I hadn't
seen the movie in years and like really enjoyed it.
And so that just kind of got me more excited for this movie.
And like I said I was just let down like really hard.
So unfortunately with this one I'm sitting at like a 68.
That's completely understandable.
Yeah honestly I don't really have anything else to add besides what Caleb said.
Just a very disappointing sequel.
Like I said I had never seen Enchanted before yesterday the 28th which I kick myself for
sleeping on that movie because god damn that is a great Disney movie.
And it just made me hate this sequel even more for how great that first one is.
Yeah literally everything that he said unnecessary sequel just didn't need to happen.
At least not in the way that it was told.
Yeah so you know what personal score I'm gonna actually match as well 68.
All righty well with that going through our scores for this movie the story sitting off
fairly low sitting at a 68.5 writing jumped up a couple points sitting at a 70.5 acting
is sitting at a fairly average range sitting at a 75 character development was just really
poor sitting at a 66.5 the effects we thought were decent not up to the typical Disney quality
that we're used to.
So that one's up at an 83 the music was decent but not as good as the first so we ended up
giving that an 8 costumes just out of the water.
We're giving that one a solid 10 and then our personal score sitting at a 68.
All right so the final Albrose letter grade for disenchanted has come to a 77.0 or C plus.
I don't know I freaking messed that up but whatever came to a C plus it is sitting at
a 77.06 percent.
Not bad.
Yeah so comparing that to other C plus movies that we have scored.
Where's my C plus button there it is.
All right so that puts it if I can find it all right so that puts disenchanted which
like I said is at a 77.06 it puts it above the hitman's wife's bodyguard which is that
is above right yeah above so that's at a 76.91 okay it's above unhinged which is at a 76.87
all right fair enough puts it above paws of fury the legend of hank which is at a 76.68
yeah I'm sorry I definitely grew it up puts it above stone cold which is at a 76.5.
You think Ben's gonna hate us for that.
I doubt it and then it puts it above my spy which is at a 75.87.
Going the opposite direction it is below the boondock saints which is at a 77.12.
It's below the strangers prey at night which is at a 77.18.
It's below the lost city which is at a 77.25.
It's below Aquaman which is at a 77.3.
And then finally it is below Spider-Man which is at a 77.49.
Okay so I mean not a completely unfaithful home I would say yeah yeah not bad yeah well
