Experiment in Terror

**Experiment in Terror** is a 1962 American, black-and-white, crime, mystery, thriller, suspense film. It is based on the novel, Operation Terror, co-written by The Gordons, who also co-wrote the screenplay of this. It starred Lee Remick, Glenn Ford, Stefanie Powers, and Ross Martin. The production company behind this was Geoffrey-Kate Productions. It featured music by Henry Mancini and was produced, and directed by Blake Edwards.

## Plot

A young, San Franciscan woman named Kelly Sherwood (Lee Remick) is ambushed by a shadowy, asthmatic man known as Red Lynch (Ross Martin), who demands that she withdraw 100 grand from the bank where she works for him. After he threatens the lives of Kelly and her sister, Toby (Stefanie Powers), the former goes to FBI Agent John Ripley (Glenn Ford) for help.

## Why It Rocks

1. The grayscale cinematography is set-up well for the tone and atmosphere for which it was going.
2. The writing is pieced together well and even if it wasn't based on a novel, the film still stands up well on its own. There's plenty of complexity to the story.
3. Characters who are great for one reason or another, like Kelly being somewhat brave and willing to make risky attempts to save her sister, and herself. Red Lynch is a truly, convincingly menacing villain. One feels for the heroes while despising the villain.
4. The music, perhaps especially during the opening credits, is well-composed as always by Henry Mancini of The Pink Panther franchise-fame.
5. A well-acting cast that includes future soap star, Stefanie Powers.
6. Dialogue that is fitting and thought-out well.
7. On the first viewing, one would have a time guessing what happens next, as it's unpredictable and it's full of twists, and turns.
8. It is the kind of film that can really delve into one's psyche, keeping him or her on the edge of the seat.
9. It is serves as a 101 on how to do a film like this with little to no flaws.
10. The conclusion is a good, satisfactory one.
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang

Template:NFR

***I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang*** is a 1932 American pre-Code crime-drama film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Paul Muni as a wrongfully convicted convict on a chain gang who escapes to Chicago. It was released on November 10, 1932. The film received positive reviews and three Academy Award nominations.

The film was written by Howard J. Green and Brown Holmes from Robert Elliott Burns's autobiography of a similar name *I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang!* originally serialized in the *True Detective* magazine.

## Why It Rocks

1. Paul Muni does an amazing performance as James Allen (Robert Burns under a different name due to censorship). His performance also distinguishes this Warner Bros. "social conscious" picture from most others of the era the film was released in.
2. James Allen is a very sympathetic lead character (and nicer than his real-life counterpart Robert Burns since Allen was forced to steal the money against his will) considering he's was a WWI veteran who couldn’t find work, famed for taking part in a diner robbery, and escaped from a chain gang.
3. The director pulls absolutely no punches in showing the brutality and corruption of prison farms. It's gritty, uncompromising, critical, and combative. In a way, it reflected the dire effects of the Great Depression on the common man in its story. It's also cleverly used to garner sympathy for imprisoned convicts without divulging the actual crimes of the convicts.
4. While it's definitely not the first prison film, this film is definitely one of -- if not *the* -- most notable of the era, and a lot of the film's story and technique would influence later prison movies.
5. The film is remarkably faithful to the incredible true-life, autobiographical misfortunes and experiences of Robert Elliott Burns, even with some of the details being excluding
6. Both of the prison escapes are very thrilling and exciting to watch -- especially the second one.
Guardians of the Lost Code

***Guardians of the Lost Code*** (Spanish: ***Brijes 3D***) is a 2010 animated adventure film, created by Ricardo González Duprat, distributed by Videocine.

## Plot

During a field trip to the history museum, the students Freddy, Atzi, and Kimo discover a giant stone disk called the Codex in the storage room they are exploring. Three of the brije within it, the deities Quetzalcoatl, Ra and Chu Jung, emerge and reveal to them that they are the three people chosen to restore the ancestral alliance between humans and brijes, an alliance that was fractured with the emergence of science and technology.

The brijes are magical animal spirits that have been in contact with human beings since the beginning of time. Every human had a brije; the human cared for his brije and vice versa. When the human turned 13, a human shaman taught both partners a bonding technique that allowed them to synchronize and transform into a warrior form, gaining extraordinary power allowing them to perform various acts of heroism. Unfortunately, with the birth of modern science and technology, this union was slowly severed as humans stopped believing in magic, leading to tragic results. The brije in the Codex created and sealed themselves within it to protect the knowledge of the warrior form bonding technique from the forces of darkness that seek it.

To fulfill their mission, the Codex presents the chosen ones with their respective brijes (Hopper, Cloko and Bri) and shows them clues that will lead them to find the missing piece of the same to activate it. With their brijes and the help of Quetzalcoatl, Ra and Chu Jung, the chosen ones begin their journey through space and time to find the missing piece of the Codex, all while fighting against the forces of darkness.
Goldmember

***Austin Powers in Goldmember*** is a 2002 American comedy film directed by Jay Roach. It is the third installment in the *Austin Powers* series.

## Plot

Dr. Evil sent his ally Goldmember to kidnap Austin Powers' father and sent him to 1975. It's up to Austin to rescue his father.

## Good Qualities

1. The number of celebrity cameos in the opening and ending of the film including Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito, Steven Spielberg, Quincy Jones, Britney Spears, the Osbournes and John Travolta.
2. Mini-Me and Fat Bastard return from the second movie.
3. Scott Evil turning bald and being evil is seen by many as a great twist in the Austin Powers franchise.
4. "Ladies and gentlemen, mister Burt Bacharach!"
5. Beyonce's impressive co-starring debut as Foxxy Cleopatra.
6. Plenty of memorable quotes including "Run, it's Godzilla!" and "Would you like a smoke and a pancake?"
7. Ozzy Osbourne notices a familiar joke from the second movie and scolds the filmmakers for being "boobs".
8. Seen by many as the last great Mike Myers comedy outside of the Shrek franchise.
9. Dr. Evil's "Hard Knock Life" cover, Britney Spears' "Boys" and Beyonce's "Work It Out" are the highlights of the soundtrack.
10. Britney Spears being a fembot can be seen as this for those who don't like her music. The cherry on top is where Austin says "Oops! I did it again, baby!"
11. The deleted scenes are as just as memorable as the complete film including where Dr. Evil made an anagram of “frickin’ idiot” called “I fit iron dick” and where the Fook twins reveal their first names.
12. At the end, Fat Bastard finally lost a lot of weight, which impressed Austin.
13. The famous line ***"How about no?"***.

## Bad Qualities

1. The jokes recycled from the first two films can be a little overbearing.
2. Goldmember can be seen as more disgusting than Fat Bastard.
3. Austin and Foxxy lack chemistry.
4. Very few scenes take place in 1975. Most of the film is set in 2002.

## Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a rating of 54%, based on 184 reviews, with the site's critical consensus reading, "While the narrative structure is messy and doesn't make much sense, the third installment of the Austin Powers franchise contains enough inspired bits to entertain.".

Home is Somewhere Else

***Home is Somewhere Else*** is a 2022 Mexican-American adult animated documentary film written and directed by Carlos Hagerman & Jorge Villalobos (in his directorial debut). It tells three stories of migrant families who share their fears, hopes, and emotions about what it means to live undocumented in the United States.

## Summary

It tells 3 independent stories about undocumented immigrants in the United States. The first story is about Jasmine, who lives in fear that her parents will be deported; the second is about the sisters Evelyn (US citizen) and Elizabeth (undocumented immigrant) who live apart due to their different immigration statuses; and the last one tells the story of José Eduardo Aguilar "El Deportee" who was deported to Mexico at the age of 23 and since then became an activist and defender of the Mexican deportees.

## Why the Mexican animation decided to talk us about a reality for the first time?

1. After productions such as Persepolis, Little Voices and Flee; Mexico thought it was time to expose one of its biggest problems through animation and in this case the case of 3 undocumented migrants.
2. Each story has a different visual style.
	* The first story is like a crayon drawing.
	* The second is as if you were combining watercolours with pencil drawings.
	* The third and last one is a combination of cut out animation with digital (at that of The Incredible Story of the Stone Boy art style).
3. The soundtrack is equally sublime, including songs that represent or speak to the situation in the film.
	* Songs like Clandestino (Clandestine), The Midnight Special and Freedom is Free.
4. After other Mexican films produced by independent animation studios, this would be the fourth and once again proving that Mexican animation is not entirely dominated by Ánima, Animex and/or Huevocartoon.
	* These 3 films would be: Héroes Verdaderos, The Incredible Story of the Stone Boy and Koati.
Justice League × RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen

## Plot

After a painful breakup, Clementine (Kate Winslet) undergoes a procedure to erase memories of her former boyfriend Joel (Jim Carrey) from her mind. When Joel discovers that Clementine is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he undergoes the same procedure and slowly begins to forget the woman that he loved.

## Why It Rocks

1. Charlie Kaufman's award-winning screenplay is written in a way that no one can ever replicate as good as him. He plays with the themes of identity, time, memory, and attraction in a slightly off-kilter world that seems oddly home-like. Roger Ebert has even called Kaufman "the most gifted screenwriter of the 2000s" in his review of the film.
2. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet's performances are wonderful. The latter was even nominated for Best Actress.
	* Jim Carrey doesn't just play himself, the funny man he is. He departs from his roles and does it right when he plays Joel.
3. Both Joel and Clementine have great chemistry with each other.
4. Although it has elements of Sci-Fi, its simply a love story, and it shouldn't be disqualified from the Sci-Fi genre.
5. Joel's mind while his memories of Clementine are being erased manage to be freaky with its use of blank faces and destruction. It also gives many *Being John Malkovich*, another film written by Charlie Kaufman, vibes.
6. The subplots involving the rest of the cast are well-plotted and manage to stay relevant to the story without being all over the place, such as with Mary Svavo and Dr. Howard Mierzwiak.
7. The film shows you can erase someone from your memory but you can't erase them from your heart.

## Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 93% "Certified Fresh" rating, based on 241 reviews, with an average rating of 8.47/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Propelled by Charlie Kaufman's smart, imaginative script and Michel Gondry's equally daring directorial touch, *Eternal Sunshine* is a twisty yet heartfelt look at relationships and heartache." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 89 out of 100, based on 41 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."

## Trivia

* According to Mark Ruffalo, the scene where Stan (Mark Ruffalo) and Mary (Kirsten Dunst) dance in their underwear over an unconscious Joel (Jim Carrey) was improvised.

Lapata decides to summon new blood to the National Team and thus he meets by accident with Polo and Juancho, two great amateurs strikers, bound by something more than football/soccer. The great talent of Polo and Juancho will lead the National Team to the Grand Final of the Canine Cup, but both will have to overcome their great egos and personalism to learn to play as a team and thus achieve the much desired Cup.
It Follows

**It Follows** is a 2015 American supernatural psychological horror film written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, and starring Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary, Olivia Luccardi, and Lili Sepe. The film follows a teenage girl named Jay, who is pursued by a supernatural entity after a sexual encounter.

## Plot

After carefree teenager Jay (Maika Monroe) sleeps with her new boyfriend, Hugh (Jake Weary), for the first time, she learns that she is the latest recipient of a fatal curse that is passed from victim to victim via sexual intercourse. Death, Jay learns, will creep inexorably toward her as either a friend or a stranger. Jay's friends don't believe her seemingly paranoid ravings until they too begin to see the phantom assassins and band together to help her flee or defend herself.

## Why It Rocks

1. It twists up the "Death By Sex" trope found in slasher movies, and makes it so that you need to have sex in order to pass the entity on, similar to cooties.
2. One of the most original horror stories in years, and the scariest.
3. While the premise seems ridiculous and stupid, the viewer is blown away by how well it's executed.
	* The film also proves that you can make a good movie out of a stupid idea, as long as you execute it really well.
4. The "It" can be considered a metaphor for an STD, making it all scarier.
	* It also can transform into all sorts of people to follow Jay, with it's most infamous being a tall man with his eyes gouged out.
5. Amazing performance from Maika Monroe, with sense of fear coming out of her character Jay.
6. The film relies heavily on dread and suspense rather than cheap jump-scares.
	* Whenever there is a jump scare, it usually has a minimal sound and uses jump cuts.
	* It also manages to scare without using too much blood and gore.
7. Jay goes through a lot of character development.
8. It has one of the scariest opening scenes of the 2010s, depicting a girl running out of her house and eventually being killed on the beach. The reason why it was so scary is because of the minimal soundtrack and quick jump cut. It doesn't even show the girl being killed. Just the aftermath.
9. Extremely creative set designs and beautiful cinematography, which gives the movie a nostalgic feel to it. The most famous example is Yara's clamshell e-reader.
10. Great and phenomenal 80's synth soundtrack.

## Reception

*It Follows* recieved critical acclaim. The film holds a 96% approval rating and a rating average score of 8.1/10 on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 242 reviews. The critical consensus states: "Smart, original, and above all terrifying, It Follows is the rare modern horror film that works on multiple levels – and leaves a lingering sting." On review aggregator website Metacritic, the film has an average rating of 83 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". On Rotten Tomatoes' aggregation, it was ranked as the sixth most-praised film of the year.

King David (1997 animated film)

**King David** is a 1997 Italian animated film produced by Mondo TV. The film is based on the Two Books of Samuel, First Book of Chronicles and the Book of Psalms and follows the Biblical story of the life of David, the most important king in ancient Israel.

## Plot

Be a part of the story of King David, a shepherd king, who falls in love with Bathsheba in this high quality animated feature for your kids and family. Together, their union produces a son who will one day grow up to become Solomon the Great.

## Trivia

* Unlike Mondo TV's later TV series adaptation of The Old Testament where they refer to God’s personal name as "Jehovah", the Latinized version of the personal name of God, in this film, they refer to God’s personal name by its original Hebrew form "Yahweh". Mondo's later 2003 TV series adaptation of the Old Testament dropped the usage of the word "Yahweh" in favor of "Jehovah" as a way to avoid upsetting the Jewish audience since they consider saying the name "Yahweh" to be a major taboo.
Fear Street Part Two: 1978

***Fear Street Part Two: 1978*** (titled onscreen as ***Fear Street 1978***) is a 2021 American teen supernatural slasher film directed by Leigh Janiak, with a script co-written by Janiak and Zak Olkewicz, from an original story by Janiak, Olkewicz and Phil Graziadei.

3. Great plot that shows that just because someone doesn't match up to other people's standards, it doesn't mean they can't be a evil.
4. The great scene horror.

Huevocartoon (2001-mid 2013)

Huevocartoon is a Mexican animation studio founded in 2001. It features mostly animations produced for adult audiences, where the characters, anthropomorphic eggs, perform satires on various cultural and social aspects in a humorous and irreverent way. The company was created in November 2001 jointly by the brothers Gabriel Riva-Palacio Alatriste and Rodolfo Riva Palacio-Alatriste, with the collaboration of Rodolfo Riva Palacio Velasco (father of both) and Carlos Zepeda Chehaibar. It has two headquarters in the country, the main one is located in Mexico City, where they currently produce only their short films for internet, series and developed their first four films, and the second one is located in Querétaro, Querétaro, where they now make their film productions under CGI technology.

## Why This Company Is A Blast From The Egg-Past?

1. First of all, this company, as it says in the title, used to produce quality content from 2001 to mid-2013 and was one of the greatest exponents of Mexican animation.
2. It started as a small company where they created animated cards, but they had some off-colour humour; over time they created animations with anthropomorphic eggs and that was what began to give them their identity.

Le Sortie de l'Usine Lumière

**Le Sortie de l'Usine Lumiére** (eng. "Workers Leaving the Lumiére Factory") is a 1895 short silent movie directed by Louis Lumiére, producted by Auguste and Louis Lumiére and starring only walker-on actors. It was the first of a set of ten movies which were projected on the 28 December of 1895 in the Salon Indien du Grand Café in the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris, so it is the very first movie that was ever seen by a public.

## Plot

The movie is somehow a documentary, though there are a few elements who suggest otherwise, for example the fact that none of the actors walk towards the camera. However, the movie depicts workers, men and women, leaving the Lumiére factory in Lyon. Depending on the version, after all the workers have left, the owners leave in a carriage and then the movie ends. In another version, the movie ends as the porter begins to close the factory doors. It lasts forty-five seconds.

## Why It Rocks

While there is not much to say about the features of this movie, since it is very short, it is the very first movie that was ever watched by human eyes, ever, so its historically importance is undeniable. Even if you do not like silent movies, it is likely that you will give it a watch just out of curiosity and its short lenght.

## Trivia

1. The Lumiére factory building has since been demolished in 1970, but the hangar which appears in the movie is still standing.
2. Several versions exist of this film, in one of them the actors wear spring clothes and in another one winter clothes.
3. This is the very first movie in which a dog appeared, a beautiful Bullmastiff, way before the breed was recognized.

## Video

Since the movie is in public domain, it can be viewed for free. This video contains all the three different versions of the movie.

This video, instead, contains one of the three versions but with a card in french at the start. The text in English means: "Workmen and workwomen exiting Lumière Factory".

When a family faces a hardship, the parents are left with no other choice but to cut back on getting Christmas gifts for their kids and sell their horse. However, unbeknownst to them, there is a surprise Christmas miracle that is in store waiting for them. This Christmas song comes into play by being one that the father learned from his parents, as he recalls, when he was a youngster.

## Why It Rocks

1. It's an example of how to take a Christmas song, incorporate it into the movie's plot, and do it properly.
2. The art style is pleasant and the animation flows just fine.
3. A well-written story that's easy enough to follow. It centers around hard times around the holidays and shows an example of how that saying goes: "When there's a will, there's a way", and that somehow something will work out for the better.
4. The character designs are pleasant as well.
5. The characters themselves are decent and have enough likability to them.
6. In addition to the main song "Jingle Bells", the other, musical numbers are just as nice, like one about those still being together in their hearts, despite being far apart.
7. Stellar voice cast of some big names, like Jason Alexander as the elf.
8. Well-written dialogue.
9. Some amusing moments, especially with the mouse, Cheddar.
10. The way the family get their horse, Chris, back is cute.
11. Its message of faith and hope shown in the face of adversity, and the light shown through it, is delivered clearly.
12. It's simply heartwarming.

## Trivia

* The elf also appears in We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

**Here Comes Peter Cottontail** is a 1971, American-Japanese, stop-motion, animated, television special and holiday/Easter special that originally aired on ABC. It is based on Here Comes Peter Cottontail authored by Steven Nelson and Jack Rollins, as well as The Easter Bunny That Overslept by Priscilla Friedrich and Otto Friedrich. It is the first in a trilogy of Easter-themed T.V. specials, the others being The First Easter Rabbit and The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town.

## Plot

Peter Cottontail is tasked with delivering Easter eggs, not only to become Col. Wellington B. Bunny's successor and win, but also to compete against January Q. Irontail, who only wants to become the ruler of April Valley in revenge for a past mishap. But when Peter doesn't wake up the next day in time to come out the winner, he ends up leaving as a failure and in disgrace. However, he vows to compensate somehow and he eventually does find a way.

## Why It Rocks

1. The stop-motion looks as good as it often has in the case of many Rankin/Bass specials in that style.
2. The writing is creative, as it blends two stories on which it's based come together and the results are done very well.
3. The character models and designs are typical but good as with those of like-minded Rankin/Bass specials.
4. Many characters have their likability and memorability. Like Peter himself, who decides to become more honest and responsible.
5. Unforgettably, infectious songs that stick well in the mind, like the first that shares the title of the special.
6. Outstanding performances by most of the voice cast, including the late Casey Kasem and late Vincent Price.
7. The parts in which Peter and Antoine the French Caterpillar go time-traveling through the various holidays to deliver eggs make for something interesting and original.
8. Finely written lines of dialogue.
9. Strongly represented morals.
10. A lot of entertaining moments of humor.

## Bad Qualities

1. It wasn't nominated nor did it win any awards.
2. Joan Gardner's voice performance as Bonnie Bonnet may be too much on the ears.
3. Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie doesn't quite measure up to this.

## Trivia

* Peter Cottontail first came to the public conscious as a series of books written by Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965).
* Rankin/Bass's, stop-motion version of Santa Claus has a couple cameos in this.

***Drive*** is a 2011 American action drama film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, with a screenplay by Hossein Amini. It is based on a novel of the same name. The film stars Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, and Albert Brooks.

The film was theatrically released on September 16, 2011, and received mixed reviews for its direction, cinematography, performances (especially for Gosling), visuals, action sequences, and musical scores; though some received criticism for its graphic violence.

## Reception

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 93% based on 270 reviews, and an average rating of 8.30/10. The site's critical consensus states, "With its hyper-stylized blend of violence, music, and striking imagery, *Drive* represents a fully realized vision of arthouse action."

The writers for the film magazine *Empire* listed *Drive* as their number one film of 2011.

Travers also said, "Prepare to be blown away by Albert Brooks. Brooks' performance, veined with dark humor and chilling menace (watch him with a blade), deserves to have Oscar calling." *The Wall Street Journal*'s Joe Morgenstern also praised Brooks's performance, calling his villainous performance "sensational." James Rocchi of *The Playlist* gave the film an "A" letter grade, and wrote that "*Drive* works as a great demonstration of how, when there's true talent behind the camera, entertainment and art are not enemies but allies."

Frankenstein (1910)

***Frankenstein*** is a 1910 16 minute silent, horror, monster, suspense, thriller, science fiction, fantasy, science fantasy, live action movie. It was directed and written by J. Searle Dawley, distributed by Edison Manufacturing Company, produced by Edison Manufacturing Company and Thomas Edison, and it starred Augustus Phillips, Charles Ogles, and Mary Fuller. It is the earliest book to screen adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein that still exists today. For many years it was considered to be a lost film until it was eventually found in a private collection and released on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray.

## Good Qualities

1. It is the earliest book to screen adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein that still exists today, even before the more popular version with Boris Karloff and Universal Studios.
2. Great acting for a silent movie.
3. The way Frankenstein creates the monster in this movie is kind of interesting and funny. Instead of stitching a bunch of body parts from different animals together he just throws a bunch of chemicals into a pot.
4. The scratchy look of the screen, which was common in films at the time helped to improve the atmosphere.
5. Even though the movie doesn't hold up the best, they did a great job, for the time, of condensing the original novel into the length that they needed and getting the point across, which is very impressive.
6. The special effects are interesting, and possibly even groundbreaking, for their time.

## Bad Qualities

1. This movie hasn't aged very well. It's will only likely be enjoyed by hardcore horror fans who are interested in not only horror's history, but also what the first existing adaptation of Frankenstein is.
IZ and the Zizzles

**iZ and the Zizzes** is a 2007, American, animated, family, sci-fi, musical, direct-to-video film, produced by DiC Entertainment. It is based on the iZ toy of the same name by the toy company, Zizzle. It was one of the final productions by DiC, both in terms of straight-to-video and overall.

## Plot

iZ is a robot who was created by a scientist named Dr. Zizzle with the intention of using him to make the world a better place. But some government agents-in-black have other plans for him. In response, iZ flees and escapes, as he struggles to find out what he is and learn about his purpose. Meanwhile, a radio D.J. has been struggling with trying to score the next big hit for his station and is told that if he doesn't have one soon, he and his family will have to remain in the Midwest and won't be able to move back to New York. After iZ makes his way to the station, the D.J. has the idea that iZ is just what he needs to gain success. He brings iZ back home to show his wife, who is a record producer, before iZ finds their son and daughter, along with a friend, all of whom make up a rock trio. With their sound previously not gelling well, as well as their ability at working together harmoniously, once they find iZ and hear what he can do, they believe they've found that perfect sound and that he's just what they need.

## Why It Rocks

1. The writing of the storyline is great, as it has so much more going for it than being too simplistic, and it's one of the stronger toy-based cartoons.
2. The characters are great and likable, especially iZ himself, with him expressing sadness when he's trying to find out more about himself, like what he is and his origins.
3. The voice cast sounds great. The most notable member being singer Yasmeen Sulieman ( better known simply as Yasmeen, who fans will remember and recognize as being best known for her 2002 R&B hit, "Blue Jeans") as the voice of Vera Franklin. Those who are familiar with her may be sold on this for that reason alone.
4. The original songs are catchy and well-written, both musically and lyrically.
5. The character designs and art style are well-designed, giving it a uncanny, yet very charming animesque style.
6. Plenty of moments to keep viewers entertained throughout the whole thing.
7. It got a follow-up to this.
8. As one of the very last things produced under DiC, the studio went out on a sweet note (pun unintended).
9. It may possibly be one of those toyetic cartoons that actually outdoes the toys on which it's based. That is, at least, McDonald's iZ toy-line.

## Bad Qualities

1. It's worthy enough to be expanded into a T.V. series, but never got that far due to DiC closing down.
2. The sequel has yet to be available on home media.
3. The English dub of the sequel is unavailable online.
4. McDonald's iZ toy-line wasn't as impressive.
Geraldine

***Geraldine*** is a 2000 French animated short film written and directed by Arthur de Pins.

## Plot

Geraldine wakes up to discover that she is a woman, having previously been a man named Gerald when going to bed. She now has to deal with her newfound life dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a woman while putting her status with her girlfriend in jeopardy.

## Good Qualities

1. The idea of a man turning into a woman through mysterious circumstances overnight is pretty original.
2. It showcases common issues women face everday such as male gaze and sexual harrassment.
3. Colorful, stylish animation.
4. It presents a nuanced depiction on what is like being a woman through putting oneself in their footsteps.
5. The title character is a likeable protagonist since she initially resents her transformation, especially with the constant advances she gets from men until she accepts her new identity where she uses it to her advantage for good.
6. Arthur de Pins made this short just for fun and was curious about what is like being the opposite sex and needless to say, he succeeded.

## Bad Qualities

1. The animation, while stylish, is a bit smudgy.
