Dertien prachtige en vooral vreemde Disney film

Wie aan een Disney film denkt, moet vaak denken aan de vele animatie films. Maar vooral tussen de jaren 40 en tachtig zijn er ook een aantal films met echte mensen verschenen. Sommige waren slecht en sommige waren vooral erg prachtig en vreemd tegelijk. Daarom heeft de website Mania.com deze lijst met dertien van dit soort films gemaakt. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet is:

The Black Hole (1979)

Location, location, location. The poor Black Hole film had the misfortune of opening after Star Wars, full stop. Unfortunately, it didn't change with the times, and remains a blaring demonstration of old storytelling and limited special effects. As a child, I remember being baffled when I told my parents I loved it, and they just laughed. Then I grew up. The cast is surreal, with actors like Roddy McDowall and Slim Pickens pulling their names from the credits rather than admitting to voicing the odd trash-can robots. Anthony Perkins (yes, of Norman Bates fame) stars as the dashing hero, and Oscar winner Maximillian Schell eats up the scenery as the strangely Captain Nemo-esque villain. The incredible score written by John Barry (James Bond theme, Out of Africa) was the world's first soundtrack to be digitally recorded. It was also the first PG-rated film for Disney, which created Touchstone shortly thereafter to handle the company's more adult films.
