Bayonetta: Bloody Fate

Manga Entertainment (United Kingdom)|Prequel = N/A|Sequel = N/A|Caption = A great movie based on a great game.}}
**Bayonetta: Bloody Fate** is a 2013 anime film, based on 2009 Platinum Game's Bayonetta.

## Plot

Bayonetta, an Umbran Witch who was been asleep for the past 500 years, has no recollection of her past, travels to Vigrid, an isolated city in Europe to seek out a special gem called the 'Right Eye' thinking it will help her remember her past. Along the way, she has to fight angels, deal with a stalker named Luka (who has a vendetta against Bayonetta, thinking she killed his father), take care of little girl named Cereza (who thinks Bayonetta is her mother), and go one-on-one with Jeanne (another Umbran Witch who seems to know a lot about Bayonetta's past).

The plot similarly follows the plot from the first game, albeit a few changes here and there.

## Why it Rocks

1. The animation in the movie is extremely beautiful.
2. Excellent voice acting.
3. Both the angels and the demons keep their creative and unique designs.
4. Bayonetta is still a badass angel hunter.
5. The plot stays loyal to the game, making changes in certain points so that it doesn't become a shot-by-shot remake of the game.
6. Most of the English voice actors make a return and do a fantastic job.
7. You don't need to play the game to understand the plot of the movie,

## Bad Qualities

1. The ending is very predictable if you played the first game already.
2. Some moments can be considered filler.

7. The idea of making a grown-up Christopher Robin reunite with Pooh and the others is a pretty original idea and sounds like it could be an adventurous plot.
8. The CGI animation fits the standards of stuffed animals.
9. The designs for the animals are so cute, as they're look like they put so much effort to make them stuffed animal look, like the ones from both the book series and the animated franchise.

10. Jim Cummings (Pooh and Tigger) and Brad Garrett (Eeyore in a 90s' computer game) reprise their roles.
11. Christopher Robin growing up and losing touch with his animal friends is a very relatable and accurate thing for grown-ups.

## Bad Qualities

1. Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo don’t do much as Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore, as they are not in that many scenes.
2. The scene where Christopher Robin rudely agrees with Pooh that he is a bear of very little brain was a little mean spirited.

## Trivia

* The film was banned in China after comparing President Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh.
* A year prior to this film’s release, Fox Searchlight Pictures released Goodbye Christopher Robin, which was a biographical film about the lives of A. A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh's creator) and his son, Christopher Robin Milne, upon which the Christopher Robin’s character was named after. Fox Searchlight Pictures would later be acquired by Disney when they bought 20th Century Fox in 2019, hence making Goodbye Christopher Robin now part of Disney’s Winnie the Pooh franchise.

Fotosíntesis Media

**Fotosíntesis Media** is a Mexican digital animation studio whose aim is to create audiovisual content that raises awareness about various issues.

It was founded in 2013 by filmmaker Miguel Angel Uriegas and it's tagline is: Entertainment with a Cause. This is arguably the youngest Mexican animation company at present day.

## Why This is Deserved to Called the Mexican Studio Ghibli?

1. They have a high quality of animation and storytelling on the projects they have done.
2. The inclusion they manage is not at all forced.
3. Beyond its influence by Studio Ghibli, it also seems to be inspired by the productions of Ánima and Animex.
4. They started with the production of films from The Incredible Story of the Stone Boy, but that feature film was actually made by the now defunct Cadereyta Films (a company also from the animation branch of Mantarraya Films) so it could be said that it was more like their pilot production and currently this company owns the rights to the film.

## Bad Qualities

1. The only bad quality about this studio is that it is not very well known and is always overshadowed by other companies.

Army of Darkness

***Army of Darkness***, also known as ***Evil Dead III*** or ***The Medieval Dead***, is an action adventure horror comedy film directed by Sam Raimi, and written by Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi. It stars Bruce Campbell and Embeth Davidtz. It is the sequel to *The Evil Dead (1981)* and *Evil Dead II (1987)*, and was later followed by the TV show *Ash vs. The Evil Dead*.

## Why It Rocks

1. Amazing acting.
2. This film has two cuts. This was due to differences of opinion between the director, Sam Raimi, and the producer, Robert Tapert, regarding how it should end. The producer felt it should have a more triumphant conclusion, due to the change of tone of the film, and the director thought it should end with Ash getting screwed over, in order to follow tradition.  It's for that reason that two endings of the movie exist, and the viewer can choose whichever they prefer.
3. Excellent cinematography.
4. Incredible comedy. It's a different type of comedy from the first two movies, but still great. It's more along the line of slapstick comedy but still does well to make Ash suffer like longtime viewers would expect, especially if you watch Sam Raimi's cut of the movie.
5. Great soundtrack.
6. Fantastic characters. All of them, not just Ash, but every single one are interesting and serve to make the comedy even better.
7. Awesome action.
8. ''Hail to the king, baby!''

## Bad Qualities

1. While the film is great, a lot of people didn't like the higher focus on comedy and straying away from the horror and insanity that made the first two films so popular.

## Reception

*Army of Darkness* has a 72% critic rating and a 87% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 3.7/5 on Letterboxd, and a 7.6/10 on IMDb.
Cinderella (1979)

**Cinderella** (Russian:Золушка, romanized: Zolushka, lit. Cinderella) is a 1979 Soviet, fantasy, romance, musical, family, short film. It is based on the fairy tale of the same title by Charles Perrault. Production was by Soyuzmultfilm. It had a limited released in the Soviet Union. It was directed by Ivan Aksenchuk.

## Plot

Being stuck in a predicament, Cinderella is forced to spend her days toiling away for her stepfamily. When there's news about the royal ball that is going to take place, the stepmother, her daughters, and Cinderella are all overjoyed. But Cinderella won't be joining them or so it seems, at first. One night, her fairy godmother arrives and after Cinderella is given a magical makeover, she attends the ball. But when midnight strikes, the time she has with the prince is cut short as she must hurry back home. But Cinderella just may get her happily-ever-after-moment after the prince tries fitting the abandoned glass slipper on various women in trying to find out just who is its owner.

## Why Cinderella Will Have To Be Renamed Ella

1. The art is somewhat ornate and the animation flows effortlessly.
2. Although the story is well-familiar, this version does well in retelling it and remains faithful enough to it.
3. All the character designs are pleasant, but the fairy godmother of this may be the best.
4. The characters are true enough to those of the original source with Cinderella herself being among the better ones. She may even be relatable to those who are in similar situations.
5. The music is well-composed and done, all of its parts are in their proper places, nothing to complain about in this area. It's pleasing throughout while also having a fanciful feel.
6. The voice acting in the English dub sounds well-performed, even though it's the narrator who talks more than the characters.
7. The dialogue is written well like this iteration of the story and the music.
8. A highlight of this is the dance sequence between Cinderella and the prince as the way it moves along is an enjoyable sight to see.
9. It retains the message that even in the faces of adversity and hardship, somehow, something will come up to make dreams possible, and will work out in the end.
10. This adaptation is simply a masterpiece in its own right.

## Bad Qualities

1. Some may be disappointed that the characters don't get as many lines as the narrator.
2. There's hardly anything that makes this rendition stand out from the others as it's run-of-the-mill, but that doesn't make it any less satisfying.
Fred Ott's Sneeze

***Fred Ott's Sneeze*** (also known as ***Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze***) is 1894 short, black-and-white, silent film shot by William K.L. Dickson and featuring Fred Ott.

## Plot

In five seconds, the movie shows that Fred Ott sneezes and the movie ends.

## Why It Rocks

1. This is one of the earliest U.S. film histories in the 1890s.
2. It's an example of how is what the acting is actually good.
3. It's in the public domain, meaning that any TV network/company/creator doesnʼt need permission to use it.

## Reception

Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film 4 out of 4 stars in his book "The Great Movies".

## Why It Rocks

1. The actor’s performances are amazing, especially from Jessica Rothe and Ruby Modine.
2. It has a creepy and also very funny*Groundhog Day*-vibe.
3. Likable and memorable characters such as Tree, Carter and Danielle.
4. The idea of making an unidentified killer chase after a particular someone, and after killing them, make the day start over again until the victim finds out who it is is pretty original.
5. Nicely done character and story development.
6. Tree's ringtone, *"It’s My Birthday"*, is very short but memorable.
7. A fair amount of well-executed scary and funny moments.
8. Babyface's kills manage to be both horrifying and hilarious.
9. Many unpredictable twists and turns throughout most of the movie.
10. The ending is quite satisfying when Tree finally figures out Babyface's real identity.
11. *Happy Death Day 2U*, while relying more comedy then being a horror-comedy, was still a pretty decent sequel.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The alternate ending was completely unsatisfying for viewers and so it was cut from the film. But it is available on the blu-ray release.
A Tale of Two Sisters

***A Tale of Two Sisters*** (Korean: 장화, 홍련; RR: *Janghwa, Hongryeon*; lit. "Rose Flower, Red Lotus") is a 2003 South Korean psychological horror drama film written and directed by Kim Jee-woon.

## Plot

After being institutionalized in a mental hospital, Korean teen Su-mi (Yeom Jeong-ah) reunites with her beloved sister, Su-yeon (Su-jeong Lim), and they return to live at their country home. The girls' widower father (Mun Geun-yeong) has remarried, and the siblings are immediately resentful of his new wife, Eun-joo (Kap-su Kim). As Su-mi and Su-yeon try to resume their regular lives, strange events plague the house, leading to surprising revelations and a shocking conclusion.

## Why It Rocks

1. One of the most iconic South Korean horror films to have ever been made.
2. Although it's supposed to be horror, it's drama elements cause it to be extremely sad at the same time, just to make it even more terrifying.
3. The two leads, Im Soo-jung and Moon Geun-young's performances are incredible and are totally convincing for their roles.
	* Also, Yum Jung-ah is deceitfully cheerful and hauntingly evil as the stepmother. Finally, Kim Kap-soo gives an excellent performance as the weary, broken father.
4. While the film's plot is difficult to understand at first, it does a perfect job of explaining things near the end. Going even further on this would be heading to spoiler territory.
5. It's surprise twists manage to catch the viewer off-guard, using small reveals before its big twist near the end.
6. While it does rely on a few jump scares, these scares only bring up the tension instead of ruining it altogether.
7. Beautiful cinematography. Some shots are pure cinematic poetry, such as the top-shot with the two sisters sitting near the lake.
8. Mesmerizing musical score that is usually fitting for every scenario going on. Although it's not supposed to be scary, it kind of has a classical feel to it.

## Bad Qualities

1. The plot can get confusing at times, especially when the twist ending happens.

## Reception

Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 85% based on 60 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10.

## Trivia

* The film is loosely based on a Joseon Dynasty era folktale entitled Janghwa Hongryeon jeon.

5. Funny moments such as Beethoven playing rock music on a keyboard while Joan of Arc exercise dances with a group of people and the 69 joke.

7. Alongside **Back to the Future** it popularized the time-travelling genre, which has become highly overused in media a lot.

3. **Plot hole**: How did Bill managed to quickly remove his armor if the other knights were chasing him for like, five seconds?
4. It can be inappropriate at times even for a PG rating.

## Plot

Police constable Nicholas Angel is known to be the best across London. His seniors, who are jealous of his achievements, transfer him to a remote village where he encounters various challenges.

## Why It Rocks

1. *Hot Fuzz* itself is a satire that takes most of the tropes from other movies of the same cop genre, and still made it unexpected, enjoyable, and have characters with believable motivations.
	* There's a lot of quick wit to this movie, and also mixing it with a realistic tone about police officers winning.
2. The story has an awesome set-up: a highly trained police officer assigned to go to a peaceful town to encounter difficult challenges, only for him to know that the town has been secretly committing murders.
3. Nicholas Angel is an well-written and likable protagonist. He desires to be the greatest cop, despite his skill on being an expert.
4. The Neighborhood Watch Alliance happened to be one of the darkest, yet intimidating villains yet.
	* Frank Butterman, its founder, is an interesting antagonist with reasonable motivations: killing the off anybody in Sandford who does not fit in with the "disciplinarian" image he has of a "perfect town".
5. Unpredictable and interesting story that keeps the pacing and flow feel natural.
6. Brilliant acting, and charisma from its cast, especially from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

		+ "*Get out.*"

Eaux d'artifice

***Eaux d'artifice*** (or *Water Works* in English) is a short experimental film directed by Kenneth Anger released in 1953.

## Why It Rocks

1. As Anger shot at the Garden of the Villa D'Este, he used the garden, famed for its ornate fountains, for what's called a "single-image film" that basically led up to a "union between protagonist and landscape". It may not have a proper story or any dialogue, but it makes up for that by featuring a beautiful play of light on bubbling and cascading water.
2. Clever soundtrack usage with “Winter” Concerto and other passages of Antonio Vivaldi’s *The Four Seasons* being played during the short. The music's not only appropriate to the director's classical settings and style, but it also provides a rhythmic framework for editing. Double exposures, montages and dissolves all add narrative conventions to the shots.
	* The music's used as both a metronome and as a narrative guide. When the music increased in speed and urgency, tension's built by cutting the imagery in a rapid pattern. Pans and tilts were also timed to measure the beat of the score, with the cinematography ranging from simply representational to abstract, from easily deciphered wide shots of the garden to close-ups of the water, backlit, and shot in slow motion until they resemble gleaming jewels arcing across the screen.
3. A lot of the eerie beauty of the film comes from the fact that it was shot on infrared stock and printed with a cyan filter, imitating nitrate. This was intentionally done to set an evocative preternatural mood.
4. Carmillo Salvatorelli pulls off a surprisingly convincing performance as the mysterious, nameless "water witch", the closest thing the film has to a main character.
5. Clever editing, with a range of approaches being used, including a typical shot-to-shot scene scheme and a more ambitious montage based on emotion and atmosphere. It should also be noted that having a short actress for the role was an intentional choice as it made the fountains look larger.
6. The viewer doesn't have to have prior knowledge of Anger’s earlier work in order to appreciate the short.
7. Kenneth Anger had dedicated exploration of certain themes, though the major theme is his commitment to the version of modern occultism propounded by Aleister Crowley. He shows particular dedication to the figure of Lucifer as a god of light and thus “patron saint of movies”, a dedication that finds one of its clearest expressions in this short.

6. Most of the jokes can be decent such as Pocket's hammer getting stolen...only to be stolen by a Trogg and getting hit.
7. It explains a backstory of how the Troggs came to Earth.
8. The scene where Chloe stands up to Liam and talks mean to the BTCs is very interesting.

## Bad Qualities

1. While decent, the humor sometimes falls flat such as Chloe saying that it's time for the Troggs to get "flushed."
	* There is also a lot of toilet humor.
2. It sometimes reuses some screams from Chloe. One time, Brittany used one of Chloe's screams, which can be considered a sound error.
3. Chloe is a bit selfish, but overall not a bad character.
4. The visuals look bland and the character designs are weird at best. For example, the Troggs look like Mike Wazowski and Stitch mixed in a blender.
5. The pacing is not very good and the film can feel all over the place.
6. The ending leaves a major plot hole, as to whether or not the events of the film were a dream, with both options having their own contradictions.
	* If it was a dream, then how are the gnomes there. And what about Brittney's character development?
	* If it wasn't a dream, then how did Chloe's phone turn out undamaged, and why was it in the toilet?
7. Brittney's character development does not feel fully fleshed out as it is just put into the last few minutes of the movie. Also, Brittney does not receive any comeuppance for her actions, making it a half-baked redemption.
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

***Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland*** (released in Japan as simply ***Nemo*** (ニモ *Nimo*) and credited in some territories as ***Little Nemo***) is a 1989 Japanese-American animated musical adventure fantasy film directed by Masami Hata and William Hurtz. Based on the comic strip *Little Nemo in Slumberland* by Winsor McCay, the film went through a lengthy development process with a number of screenwriters. Ultimately, the screenplay was credited to Chris Columbus and Richard Outten; the storyline and art style differed from the original version. The original soundtrack was penned by the Academy Award-winning Sherman Brothers. The film features the voices of Gabriel Damon, Mickey Rooney, René Auberjonois, Danny Mann and Bernard Erhard.

The film was first released in Japan on July 15, 1989 and in the United States on August 21, 1992 by the Hemdale Film Corporation. It received mixed to positive reviews from publications including the Washington Post, Variety, the New York Post, the Boston Globe, and The New York Times, earned $11.4 million on a $35 million budget and was a box office bomb, but sold well on home video and has since developed a cult following.

## Why It Rocks

1. Unlike the comic strips, the character designs were set in the standards of the American animation landmark.
2. The western animation was well done by the Japanese anime studio.
3. Excellent voice acting, especially for both English and Japanese versions.
4. Wonderful plot.
5. It was the best family film in America since the last year's film.
6. Both songwriters, the Sherman Brothers decided to do this for an anime film.
7. Thomas Chase and Steve Rucker composed an excellent soundtrack from the London Symphony Orchestra.
8. The Nightmare King was the most fearsome, but the funniest main villain in the film.

## The Only Bad Quality

1. The US theatrical release wasn't well done, due to the fact that the film has been edited out and was given a G rating. Due to the dark nature of this film, this film is supposed to be rated PG.
Kramer vs. Kramer

***Kramer vs. Kramer*** is a 1979 drama starring Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Justin Henry and Jane Alexander. The film is based on the book of the same name by Avery Corman.

## Plot

Ted Kramer (Hoffman), an advertising executive and his wife Joanna (Streep) get a divorce which results in having Billy getting a severe impact on it. Later, the two have a custody battle over Billy and after that, he decides to stay with Ted.

## Why It Rocks

1. The writing and dialogue is well done.
2. The film shows how divorce can impact various people in life, especially a young child.
3. Dustin Hoffman as Ted has probably one of the best performance of his career in this movie.
4. Justin Henry did a good job playing Billy.
5. We get a touching ending where Joanna wants to be with Billy again.

## Bad Qualities

1. Ted is unlikable in a bunch of scenes, especially when he yells at Billy.

## Reception

*Kramer vs. Kramer* received positive reviews from critics and audiences and currently holds a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.9 out of 10. Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars and stated about the film "*Kramer vs. Kramer* wouldn't be half as good as it is - half as intriguing and absorbing - if the movie had taken sides."

### Awards and nominations

The film was nominated for 8 Oscars at the 1980 Academy Awards, ultimately winning 5 (Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Benton), Best Actor (Dustin Hoffman), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress (Meryl Streep)).
King Kong vs. Godzilla

***King Kong vs. Godzilla*** (キングコング対ゴジラ *Kingu Kongu Tai Gojira*) is a 1962 Japanese sci-fi action adventure kaiju film distributed by Toho. It is the third film in the *Godzilla* franchise (also the third in the *Godzilla* Showa series) and the first Japanese film featuring King Kong.

## Good Qualities

1. It's notable for being both King Kong and Godzilla's debuts in color, widescreen and full-stereo sound.
2. It's also still the highest-grossing *Godzilla* film to date.
3. This was also the first movie to establish that Godzilla's atomic ray as neon blue and his skin as either black or charcoal gray, not green (the only times where Godzilla was actually green in a film was in *Godzilla 2000* and *Godzilla vs. Megaguirus*).
4. Very good special effects for its time.
5. Godzilla's suit (called the KingGoji suit) looks great and is considered to be one of the best Godzilla suits ever. His head is more reminiscent to those of actual reptiles, with yellow eyes and no ears or fangs. He also has three toes instead of four and a very stocky build, especially in the lower half of the body.
6. Amazing soundtrack, especially the "Sleeping Devil" song that the Farou Island natives perform to make Kong go to sleep.
7. Good acting.
8. A wonderfully cheesy moment where Kong throws a rock and Godzilla flings it back with his tail. There's even a laughable moment where King Kong shoves a tree into Godzilla's throat.
9. The character of Mr. Tako is very over-the-top, but memorable.

## Bad Qualities

1. King Kong's suit looks absolutely awful. He also has a silly look on his face and there is a visible zipper on the suit.
2. The US version replaced most of the original score with stock music from other movies, heavily altered the script, retconned the events of the first two movies for no reason (though the English dub of *Godzilla Raids Again* didn't follow the events of the first movie and was re-edited to look like an original Kaiju film called *Gigantis, The Fire Monster*) and did some other unneeded changes.
	* In the English dubbed version, they state that this film's Godzilla emerged from the iceberg after hibernating in it for millions of years since the Jurassic period. However, in reality, this film's Godzilla is the same Godzilla that attacked Osaka and fought Anguirus in 1955. The iceberg from which he emerges floated away from Kamiko Island, where he was buried in ice during the events of *Godzilla Raids Again*.

## Trivia

* In *King Kong vs. Godzilla*, Kong stands at 45 meters in height and has a weight of 20,500 metric tons, so he is technically not the same height as the 50-meter tall Godzilla, but is 5 meters shorter than him. Despite this, he is 50 metric tons heavier than the latter.
Katy Meets the Aliens

**Katy Meets the Aliens/Katy and the Katerpillar Kids** (in Spanish: *Katy, Kiki y Koko*) is a mexican-spanish 1988 animated musical-sci-fi-comedy-adventure movie and it's the sequel of 1984's Katy Caterpillar movie. It produced again by Moro Studios in Spain they had a run time of 74 minutes.

## Plot

Katy, now an adult and responsible butterfly, takes care of her offspring, Kiki and Koko, a pair of baby caterpillars just as curious and restless as their mother when she was little, so it is not surprising that they follow in her footsteps: they run away from home and face difficult situations including 4 aliens who have arrived on Earth in need of energy. They meet new friends on their journey, while Katy, discovering that they are not there, goes in search of them.
Hans Conried

**Hans Georg Conried Jr** (April 15, 1917 - January 5, 1982) was an American actor who is best remembered for voicing Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in *Peter Pan*, Snidley Whiplash in the *Dudley Do Right* cartoons, and as Uncle Tonosse in *The Danny Thomas Show*.

## Why He Should Have Been Honored as a Disney Legend And Be Regarded As One Of The Most Famous 20th Century Actors?

1. His first acting role was Dramatic School.
2. His first Disney role was when he stole *Peter Pan* as both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling.
3. He hosted Disney specials as the Magic Mirror, which is interesting.
4. Even as a younger man, he played elderly type roles, which actually suits him because he gave out impeccable voices for these certain roles.
5. He was a regular in three Dr. Seuss specials, including Horton in *Horton Hears a Who!*, North-Going-Zax/South-Going-Zax in *Dr. Seuss on the Loose*, and did a wonderful job being Boris Karloff's successor as the Grinch in *Halloween is Grinch Night*.
6. He would have been a much better King Stefan in *Sleeping Beauty,* if Walt Disney decided to let Taylor Holmes turn down the voice role to possibly do the singing voice, since Conried' modeled the character and his performance as Stefan was considered more comedic, debonair, and less bland with more specific personality for the character, as heard in the deleted song, "It Happens I Have a Picture".
	* Yes, he could have had an easy reunion with Bill Thompson and both of them would have stolen the movie as the fathers of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, just like their previous roles as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee in *Peter Pan*.
7. He was meant for villainous roles like Snidley Whiplash in the *Dudley Do Right* cartoons.
8. He stole the *5000 Fingers of Dr. T* as the title villain.
9. Corey Burton does an excellent job using an imitation of Hans Conried whenever he voiced Captain Hook.
10. His voice was the inspiration for Robot Devil in *Futurama*.
11. His physical appearance was likely and greatly used for Lord Rogers in *The Swan Princess* (possibly) and as Judge Claude Frollo in *The Hunchback of Notre Dame*, respectively.

## The Only Mixed Quality

1. Doing the voices of Dr. Hoovey in *Horton Hears a Who* and King Azaz in *The Phantom Tollbooth* can be the most stressful job Conried ever did.

## Bad Qualities

1. His own replacement by Taylor Holmes as King Stefan in *Sleeping Beauty* is likely the reason why we have several unanswered questions and why we will NEVER EVER know the whole truth about Lord Duke's voice.
2. He was never honored a Disney Legend.

## List of Roles

*Peter Pan* - Captain Hook

*Sleeping Beauty* - King Stefan (model)/Additional Voice

## Trivia

* He was in poor health to reprise his role as the Grinch for the next Grinch special, *The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat*, as he sadly passed away from a heart attack on January 5, 1982, which was only four months before the special could air. As a result, Bob Holt took this role.
* He was married to Margaret Grant and remained together until his death in 1982.
* He served in the Army during World War 2 from 1944.
Little Miss Sunshine

***Little Miss Sunshine*** is a 2006 American comedy-drama road film and the directorial debut of the husband-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The screenplay was written by first-time writer Michael Arndt. The film stars Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Arkin.

*Little Miss Sunshine* had an international box office gross of $100.5 million. The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two: Best Original Screenplay for Michael Arndt and Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin. It also won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature and received numerous other accolades.

## Plot

The Hoover family - a man (Greg Kinnear), his wife (Toni Collette), an uncle (Steve Carell), a brother (Paul Dano) and a grandfather (Alan Arkin) - puts the "fun" back in "dysfunctional" by piling into a Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus and heading to Redondo Beach, California to support a daughter (Abigail Breslin) in her bid to win the "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant. The sanity of everyone involved is stretched to the limit as the group's quirks cause epic problems as they travel along their interstate route.

## Why It Rocks

1. The story is bold and bright.
2. Plenty of funny scenes.
3. Great acting, especially Abigail Breslin as Olive.
	* The family also has excellent chemistry. It's as if they could be a real family too.
4. Plenty of emotional moments, such as the scene where Dwayne learns that he's colorblind, meaning that he can't join the Air Force.
5. Well-handled messages, such as "Winners don't give up".
	* Also, it tells us that we don't need a beauty pageant contest to determine if we're a winner or not.
6. Brilliant cast.
7. There's also some good LGBT representation with Frank's character.
8. Olive's dance at the Little Miss Sunshine beauty queen is hilarious as hell.

## Bad Qualities

1. Richard is really unlikeable at the beginning with his whole ideology that they are winners and not losers to the point of mocking his brother-in-law Frank, though he gets better at the end.
2. Many of the Little Miss Sunshine contestants wear revealing and skimpy outfits that can be seen really hypersexualized and innapropiate given their ages.

## Trivia

* This has the same name as a book by Mr. Roger Hargeaves.

## Reception

The film received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received a 91% positive aggregate rating, based on 214 reviews, with an average rating of 7.72/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "*Little Miss Sunshine* succeeds thanks to a strong ensemble cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, and Abigail Breslin, as well as a delightfully funny script".
