Kennel Tokorozawa (1992)
Ridiculous, pervy but surprisingly hilarious
This anime is so bizarre and I have no idea how it was approved for an OVA, but I was surprised at how much I loved to hate it. It actually had some funny moments and me and a friend had a fantastic time watching it despite its weirdness and perversion.
The perfect anime for people who really, really want to have relationships with dogs for some reason? Or perhaps just the perfect anime for people who like stupid, plot-lacking comedy. To its credit the anime doesn't take itself seriously and none of the side characters take anything seriously either. It was weirdly funny seeing them be so casual about the dog being in love with its owner. Best enjoyed when drunk I think.
Lockhart: Unleashing the Talisman (2016)
A mess. I loved it
This movie was garbage, I love it. To its credit, the animated sections were probably the most interesting part of the entire thing; it's also worth noting that the lead actors were arguably the weakest of the bunch.
I also found two inconsistencies that had me scratching my head (most of the movie had me scratching my head to be fair.£
Robert the Bruce died in 1329, so I'm glad they magically found a way to revive him and keep him ALMOST dead instead in 1330. Or they just got the date wrong.
Also, they said the tree was 1300 years old, and yet had been around since the crusades. The math doesn't add up there, you'd think a time period important to the main character's family history would be better planned out.
Aladdin (2000)
Nostalgic, if not obnoxiously cheesy.
I have fond memories of watching re-runs of this particular panto around the run up to Christmas, so revisiting it was a nice treat. The singing is, at times, cringe inducing and unnecessary, and I often found myself being put off by a lot of the timing, but the sets and over-the-top energy made it just worthwhile enough to stick through until the end. John Savident, Julian Clary and Martin Clunes all do wonderfully in their roles, though I think Patsy Kensit's casting was rather questionable- Not much to work with though, in her mild defense.
I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it, but if you were a child growing up in the UK, I'm sure you'll have at least vaguely warm memories of staying up and passing the time with this colorful, simple adventure.
