Dr.Dolitte, Marley & Me, Dolphin Tale, Charlotte's Web, The Secret Life of Pets,
Revenge of Kitty Galore, all the awesome animal spy movies, Dog With a Blog- how adorable was that?? Suffice to say I am in LOVE with these movies. Even The Heart Of The Sea was fantastic, considering how macabre it was..

ngawww....

Talking animals are always a delight, and the idea behind talking animals stemmed from mythology, which were then depicted into movies... Animals are oh-so-cute, except maybe..

          MWEUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And honestly, every time I watch one of these movies I have a sudden urge to adopt a puppy/kitten (fish freak me out). Like hey, I want an animal sidekick! Wouldn't you? I've had around 5 dogs before, and it never turns out well.... My last dog was a stray, and she was gorgeous! Unfortunately she got taken away by the authorities after a year or so. After that I really couldn't bear loving and losing another dog...yet again. The older generation are a leetle more old-fashioned, rearing animals for their 'uses'. So.. puppies who cant bark deserve to be drowned, chickens who can no longer lay eggs are eaten, pigs...well we Chinese know what we do with THOSE (dips 3-layer pork in chilli)

But I think we're past the age where the give-and-take system is essential for survival. Abraham Moslows theory of self-actualization, anyone? and although Trump is probably gonna mess us all up, animals will always remain cute and cuddly. 

REVIEW: 

    Dr. Dolittles movies had a solid storyline, sweet and simple. A little heavy on the cliches, and a little light on the logic (how does animals in the wilderness learn our slang??) but entertaining nonetheless. Some scenes were sickly sweet, but everyone has different levels of cheesiness-tolerance. Maybe its because I'm lactose intolerant...get it? ha-ha-ha..

    The best movies are those that find the perfect balance between keeping them ANIMALS, retaining their instinctual behaviour and reasoning behind their actions, yet being human enough that we are able to relate to them (usually in terms of emotions). Its always hard to make it believable, yet still being able to maintain that air of HELLO HUMAN QUALITIES HERE!

    Movies that portray animals as helpless beings, preyed on by us terrible,horrible,vegetable humans, which isnt THAT far from the truth tbh, are moving in the right direction, however I am always hoping for some side action as these movies are usually pretty straightforward, taking away all of the suspense in the title itself. Still worth watching, but only for night when youre ready to go "Duh, they got saved. Everyones happy! Wow! Even against the most impossible odds they succeeded! WTF?!! But, AWWWW"

  Writers seem to assume cynical and sassy animals are comedic...and they were right! Doesnt it just bring a smile to your face?? ahh :) there we go..
