Retro Movie Adventures: The Emperor’s New Grove (2000)

Groovy.

I was in my mid-thirties when this movie came out, when I thought I was too old to go to a Disney cartoon. That’s a shame, because this doesn’t feel like a Disney movie; it feels like Warner Brothers infiltrated the Magic Kingdom and made a Looney Tunes movie. Lots of quick gags, characters who are aware they’re in a movie (but only when it serves the story), sneaky adult jokes… a very different feel from a typical Disney film. Funny stuff.
