Pretty Good
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
So the whole plot of the antagonists Captain Ratso and Mr.Pike, is that they are hired by some guy to kidnap a bunch animals. He doesn't give a reason as to why he wants these animals. It's obvious it's not for any sort of profit. In fact he just acts as if he has some sort of outstanding grudge with them. What did the animals do to him? Also, is this movie suggesting everyone with a big nose is evil? Why would anyone hire these guys? They dress like bums. Business obviously isn't that good. They are just really crappy at their job. And how the hell is this guy a captain? How does one become a captain? Do you just call yourself a captain and it just happens? Oh and the rabbit who eats a lot got fat and get's stuck in places. I think they even try to play off his obesity as useful. It's not! Children should be running a mile every day not sitting around watching crappy bunny cartoons. Dr. Owl is getting up there in years and he's requesting help from Tiny but when he only asks him to do a minor task that is very important he whines. What a little arrogant jerk. No wonder he's like that, he get's to eat at the table. Why are these people so stupid!? They really believed the captain's name was Mr.Nice Guy for a while and fall for all of his stupid tricks. And if I were Mr. Pike I wouldn't be taking any of Ratso's crap.
Feature Films for Families has done it again. This time, all your favorite characters from Seventh Brother are back in the second and final chapter of the Tiny series, Tiny Heroes. This story takes place when two evil poachers, Cap'n Ratso and Phineas Pike, are hired by a man named Abadon to kidnap all the animals of the forest. While saving Alsworth, a mouse, from a trap, Dr. Owl was trapped as well! The rabbit children, JC, Marty, Cody, Joanna, Rebecca, and Mimi, tried to rescue Dr. Owl, but were discovered by Cap'n Ratso. While Tiny's owners were gone, due to a phone call from Ratso (disguised as Dr. No), Saul and Serena, the rabbit kids' parents, told him that not only their children were kidnapped, but also Dr. Owl as well! Tiny, hoping that his owners will understand on why he left, went to the poachers' hideout to rescue his friends. After the rescue (and the occasional musical number, which is good by the way), Tiny and his friends escaped from the hideout. Many events follow and finally, The ranger and Angie, Tiny's owners, now understands Tiny about the situation and apprehended the poachers and Abadon. All of the forest is now in peace and lived happily ever after, thanks to Tiny and his friends. This movie will have you laughing, crying, singing, dancing, and cheering for Tiny and his friends in Tiny Heroes! Definitely recommended for all ages and movie lovers! Ten billion stars out of ten.
