neutral · AI labelView post →Imo Charlie’s one of the “anti Disney Princess” tropes. There’s Guinevere (KoG) Utena (RGU) Ellian (Spellbound movie) and there’s Charlie Morningstar from Hazbin. Not comparing shows but there’s a type of princess savior character who is “good” but there’s no “happily ever after.”

neutral · AI labelView post →I really liked Spellbound (2024)! Am I crazy?. I almost didn't watch Spellbound on Netflix, because it got such bad ratings on imdb (5.5) and Rotten Tomatoes (48%, 47%). But I did and I have to say: It's actually pretty good! It's very funny and imaginative and has something to say. Sure, it's not perfect. It didn't have me on the edge of my seat the whole time and the songs didn't stay with me much after, but it honestly doesn't deserve these ratings! I mean it's a kids movie and it fully…

neutral · AI labelView post →'Spellbound' (1945) it's set in a mental hospital and involves a murder mystery. the branch under the movie title looks like the one on Taylor's website. Constance draws a shape (a pool) on the tablecloth. the way she draws it makes it look like parentheses!!!!
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, it’s bad enough that Luck and Spellbound made the WDAS films post-Encanto and pre-Zootopia 2 look like masterpieces in comparison. And I’m having questions about Swapped becoming the second most watched animated film on Netflix behind KPop Demon Hunters.
neutral · AI labelView post →What a bunch of hooey. My least favorite Hitchcock movie by far. I'd rather watch Marnie, as ridiculous as it is. (Yes, I'm feeling slightly dyspeptic tonight.) #Spellbound #TCMParty

neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished watching Wish and Spellbound (first movies of the year). Both are underwhelming movies, but I will say that Wish definitely put more effort in the story and music than Spellbound, which tries way too hard to be a WDAS wannabe movie, despite decent visuals.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's cool that this film came out the same year (and outgrossed) Hitchcock's Spellbound. The latter's memorable "dream sequence" is very hallucinatory, but there are parts of Leave Her to Heaven that feel even more dreamlike. The vast expanses the characters cross, the odd bits of dialogue...

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, for something that was supposed to be based on the movie Spellbound, there was surprising lack of ghosts. Goblin had more & that wasn’t even the main focus. I wish for #SpookyInLove they had focused more on the crime solving aspect of the ghosts & left out all that stupid family BS.

Really interesting, because unlike the original film, which I didn’t watch far enough to see the divorce reveal (which I assume happens pretty far in), this would have been weird, but kinda fit for the divorce theme of the film.

negative · AI labelView post →With Nick dropping the Loud House Christmas movie the same day as Wicked For Good and Apple dropping the final season of Wondla the same day as Zootopia 2...expect very little buzz. Reminds me of when Netflix dropped Spellbound on the same day as Wicked last year, which like Wondla is Skydance.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just finished watching #Spellbound... ...it's better than Skydance's previous animated film, Luck, but that's not saying much. The good and bad elements of this film cancel each other out, and all I'm left with is a film that could've been something much better.

You likely won't need that many forma, I just had to swap polarities sometime ago so that's why there's 6. Helminth is optional but if you use base build and use her 1 to hover Archon Stretch will be useless. Helminth in this build is Spectrorage. Archon Stretch procs via…
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow for a Skydance animated movie, it being alright is new territory. I'm aware Luck is like doodoo, idk who the fuck watched Spellbound and, Swapped was one of the worst movies I've seen this year. The way that movie is written just flings straight poop into the viewers face at a million km/h. Wow!
neutral · AI labelView post →If you wanted a worse version of Wish, just head over to Netflix and watch Spellbound. Even AniMat's review of the film has that title
negative · AI labelView post →I legit did not gave a single shit about Spellbound, but this makes me hate the movie even more because John "should be behind bars" Lassiter admitted that he wanted to make R34 art of the main character who is literally a MINOR!
negative · AI labelView post →Honestly, I've started watching a bunch of old Vincent Price movies. I was absolutely SPELLBOUND just looking at the set design in this movie. Also, with Zero Context, Lair of the White Worm is a MUST WATCH
