I always thought Anuk su na moon was done dirty - she's always the martyr. The pharaoh would've killed Imhotep for touching her, so they kill him. Then, takes the rap and kills herself so he can get away. She spent thousands of years in Egyptian rave hell while he chooses to save a book instead of her and she dies again. She gets reincarnated, finds him, and he reunites her soul with her body. She's only alive again a few days before he wants her to sacrifice for him again.

Too bad the movie kinda sucks

the thing about Rick and Evie is that it breaks the stereotype of action movies. Everyone knows that, even though the hero gets the girl and rides off into the sunset with her at the end - the next action movie in the series will have him conveniently single again. Because 'Real Heroes' aren't tied down by baby diapers and winter proofing the house and actually having to mature the way being in a long term relationship requires you to have to. Movie writers/directors assume that once you 'settle down' that's the end of your ability to have adventures. They all want their 'here's looking at you kid' moment because Obviously the public want their heroes single to imprint upon. Especially during the time Mummy 2 came out, that was so standard that anything that wasn't that way was a HUGE shake up. So we got this movie where the hero WAS changing diapers (or had) and winter proofing the house, etc and he was DELIGHTED and DEEPLY COMMITTED to doing that. And yet it wasn't a joke. He wasn't a joke. His marriage wasn't a punchline about how horrible being tied down was. Rick loved being married with a kid and he was STILL the coolest action hero who got to do adventures and look cool while also respecting and adoring his wife and it was all so sincere. The entire movie treated their marriage sincerely instead of winking and nudging the audience over it. It took audience investment to a huge another level because it was safe for us to invest that kind of emotion because the movie was already investing it as well. Rick and Evie's relationship carries the second movie and gives it all the depth of emotion a 'one and done' hero can't. We got a hero that loved being married and still got to be a hero and, especially back then, it was such a huge thing. No wonder we all fell in love.

He recognized that while he can help workshop HOW Eleanor can relay her feelings to Merida (and that Merida would probably be a lot more open to receiving the criticism from Fergus) he CANT be the one to attempt to repair the relationship; that is something they have to do for themselves.

I learned, over the course of a year, that when I feel jealous, it's because I'm not getting enough touch. Now I just go over and play-demand physical affection. Hugs, cheek caressing, gentle kisses on the forehead. Physical intimacy, but not necessarily anything sexual. It's amazing how good I feel after holding hands and looking into his eyes. Racing into the bedroom and having L shaped blankets is nice, but I'll take the caress on the cheek every day. And I never feel jealous anymore.

The little smile thst Imhotep goves Rick and Evie before letting himself fall always gets me. They've been the thorn in his resurrected love story twice now, but he sees and appreciates their love. And for a brief moment, they're not his enemies anymore, they're what he aspired to be.

But that film went Nope and made them even more into each other than when they were falling in love. There is such deep loyalty and support and romance and these two can’t keep their hands off each other. I’m honestly surprised they only ever had one child. With the way they look at one another there should have been at minimum 6 children in that family. I aspire to be that in love and that devoted 10, 20, 30 years in, etc.

And thorough the second movie, it's very clear they have learned from each others; none think they are better than the other, that they know better. They recognize each other's strengths, respect them, and borrow what they can to be stronger individuals, and a stronger couple.

There's a difference between arranged and forced marriages. Arranged is when they get introduced by a third party (like parents) for the purpose of marriage and the marriage will only go through with the full consent of both parties. (So, essentially matchmaking.) Forced marriage is when a person is pressured or expected to marry against their wishes.

What all of these couples have in common is that beyond the physical, there's a strong undercurrent of friendship. They don't just love each other, they LIKE each other. They genuinely enjoy each other's company, which is a lot of onscreen romances are sadly lacking.

She came up with the whole mother daughter relationship as a part of the story (one of the best parts), based on her own relationship with her daughter. Disney-Pixar replaced her with another dude due to differences in vision/wanting more action, so you have a completely different style mixed in that can be jarring.

Since his whole identity and motivation hinges on their perfect and eternal love, when he realizes that it never really existed he no longer needs to continue with his goals. Then in a brilliant moment of writing and acting right before he lets himself go, he looks at Rick/Evie and witnesses their incredible relationship as the one he thought he had with Anck-Su-Namun and... smiles! That small smirk is an amazing moment of recognition and validation. One final observation and maybe I'm imagining this, but there also a moment as Rick/Evie look back at Imhotep struggling on the abyss recently abandoned and their faces soften from fear and anger to a sort of empathetic pity. Even after everything that has happened, they can still recognize his moment of pure suffering from being abandoned by the supposed love of his life. This is also an amazing moment of recognition and validation from our heroes. The mirroring between every aspect in this scene is amazing.

I love Stoic the Vast and his relationship with his wife in the second movie. It's the first time they've seen each other in years and she is prepared to receive his anger due to running away. For Stoic, everything falls away for him and all he can think about is she is just as beautiful as the day he "lost" her. It's a degree of love you don't often see in cartoons.

Absolutely agree! This was one of the first things that sprang to mind when I saw the title of this video. (the first was of course Gomez and Morticia Addams)

The movie marriage that always stood out to me was Mr and Mrs Smith with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It came out around the time I got married and my husband and I watched it so many times. But it always stood out to me because so often in movies I’d see the couple get together, or a relationship fall apart, but I hadn’t seen too many movies where the couple really fought to stay together. (And the end where they’re in couples therapy and she say “oh! We’re remodeling the house” slays me every time!) Also I thought it was a great example of having a common interest.

@dietotaku

a big part of the reason why that era of disney animation has that sketchy look to it is that so much of the movements were rotoscoped from live footage. it's also why many scenes were "re-skinned" and reused in subsequent movies, like baloo dancing in the jungle book getting recycled for robin hood.

@JessAnderson1988

10 ай бұрын

@@dietotaku That is not why there is a sketchy look. Rotoscoping has nothing to do with the look of this film. Rotoscoping is tracing live action footage. The Disney artists used live action footage as reference for this film (and the films that came after and before it), but they were never directly tracing and copying live action footage of characters into their drawings. The sketchy style of this film came from the fact that Sleeping Beauty did not do well upon its release, so in order to save money from the huge box office loss, the inking section of the Ink & Paint department was closed down, and the technique of using a Xerox machine to transfer cleaned up animation drawings from paper to cell was developed instead. Xerox is the only way this film could have been made at the time, due to the incredible number of spotted dogs on screen. And so because Xerox was being used to transfer drawings to cells, the art director also decided to continue that sketchy look into the design of the backgrounds as well, for a consistent design across the entire film. 101 Dalmations was thankfully a box office success, and so the Xerox technique continued into the 60's, 70's and 80's. And as you had mentioned, some animation was re-used in several films during this time, which also is unrelated to rotoscoping (in these cases, the animators would use the original drawings from a previous film as heavy reference in regard to timing & movement when creating new animation for a new film). Eventually they were able to update the Xerox to use brown lines instead of just black. Colored lines similar to what you see in films made before 101 Dalmations did not return to Disney animation until the invention of CAPS (Computer Animation Production System, which was a computer software that allowed artists to digitally ink & paint animation drawings. This technique was first used as a test in a single shot of The Little Mermaid, and then used for entire films starting with Rescuers Down Under. CAPS was used through the Renaissance & Post Renaissance until the studio switched to 3D animated films in the mid 2000's.

The reason for the pencil lines in 101 Dalmations (also Sword in the Stone, Robin Hood and Jungle Book) was because after Sleeping Beauty the animation department basically got told to find a way to save money or they'd be shut down, and so they ended up using Xerox to allow them to transfer their drawings directly to animation cels, bypassing the expensive inking process and giving that era of movies its distinctive look. It was a cost-cutting measure, basically, but one that definitely paid off.

That terrified me and I still pray I don't date someone like that.

I always loved how Ed and Lorraine Warren were portrayed in the conjuring movies. Having a partner there for you during a traumatic experience while respecting your drive to continue your passion was very nice. Also cool to have an endearing couple in the horror genre! It's not really something you see very often. As I get older I find myself respecting portrayals of these kinds of couples more and more. The fiery passion of young love is interesting for sure, but to see marriage (something so commonly seen as difficult/ tedious/ boring) portrayed with such tenderness and fun is so uplifting!

I came for this comment :) Just to add some more trivia: Sleeping Beauty was the one that Disney considered THE masterpiece, but it actually brought the company to the verge of bankruptcy because re-drawing the lines of the motion-drawings with colorful ink on every singular frame meant a huge a staff. Then as I remember, Disney got sick and was not available, and at the same time a new technology appeared: xerox! And the director of 101 Dalmatians used xerox to transfer the motion drawings to the actual frames - this is why it's possible to see the pencil lines, it's the most authentic to what the original drawers created as opposed the drawings in Sleeping Beauty where the color-lining artists over-drew the originals which sometimes lost some quality. The next film they were able to use the color-lining was Beauty and the Beast but there it was done by computer technology. The director said many-many years later that Disney never forgave him for 101 Dalmatians. I do adore the cartoon, and also the original novel which is very different, but so wholesome. And it has a sequel! I think I read both 100 times when I was a kid. :)

Life is Beautiful is one of my favorites too! I can’t watch it often but you’re so right about the moments of joy sprinkled throughout.

I love at the end of Brave when Elenor turns human again and Fergus sweeps her up and gives her all the kisses, including the dip kiss, in front of everyone even though he is a mighty warrior king, she is always graceful and proper, and pda isn’t heavily condoned at this time. I also love that when he stumbles when giving some speeches, like addressing everyone at the beginning of the gathering about the presentation of the suitors, she takes over gracefully and he lets her do most of the talking which wouldn’t be normal during that time. They are a power couple who are true partners.

So glad that you are finally talking about Rick and Evie! Just sad that's not an entire episode. Their relationship, espacially in the second movie is so fascinating.

Your sponsor video was absolutely hilarious. I love it ^-^ Thank you for making such amazing videos. Even when the topic is serious I enjoy them

So good! I’d love to get your take on “Return To Me.” The marriage we see briefly in the beginning makes the scene with David Duchovny on his entry floor the most sweet and painful scene ever. The rest of the movie is a great example of healthy dating- hard things and lots of laughs. Megan and Joe have a happy marriage too, and the grandpa club… This is such a great film about real families.

Hiccup and Astrid I know they weren't married until the end of the 3rd HTTYD but Astrid is always there to support and encourage Hiccup when he doubts himself and Hiccup is fully aware of her ability to be a warrior and doesn't hold her back and reassures her through the films and the show RTTE that there will always be a Hiccup and an Astrid

Also a huge fan of Hiccup and Astrid. Did you feel that perhaps in the 3rd movie it felt a bit like they hadn't moved forward from the second? I was hoping they'd be married in that one and we'd get to see them navigate marriage while doing dragon stuff.

Honestly, Fergus and Elenor have been couple goals for me ever since I first watched the movie, because I love their relationship, they know small things about each other, Fergus is such a goof and they both unconditionally love each other and have fun together 🖤

This channel has honestly been such an amazing way to learn how to have healthy relationships and navigate hard situations and disagreements. I’ve learned so much (and love movies) so thank you for this channel!!

I’m so glad you mentioned the art style! It’s so bloody well done, wish there were more films with this type of line work. Just like the guy on the right, I’ve watched this film maybe 100+ times 😂

As a life long fan of The Mummy (only the first two, the third one doesn't exist in this house) Rick and Evie are couple goals. I saw someone once say that they're the sepia version of Gomez and Morticia and I absolutely agree.

Haven’t watched yet but the parents from Easy A deserve the top spot, hands down

I was 7 yrs old when The Mummy came out and still one of my favorite movies. I always wished to have a relationship like Rick and Eve had in the film. Still searching but man I just love, love this duo and keeps me coming back to binge watching 1 and 2.

Please do a relationships/traditions/changes one on FIDDLER ON THE ROOF! So many relationships and talks about traditions, family, expectations and freedom, moving on and change. Such a good movie.

I LOVE Adam and Barbara. As good as they are in the movie, the musical really highlights what good parents they are. There’s a whole scene where Lydia is feeling sad and rejected by her parents, so Adam cheers her up with bad dad jokes. Then Barbara comforts her by telling her she’s not strange or unusual, but a lovely little girl. It makes me tear up with happiness every time I see it 🥲

Okay, I need to see that one again. It's been way too long!

Rick and Evie have perfect trust. Each trusts that the other can hold up their end of any battle or puzzle solving or adventuring that they do. And they know that they'll be there for each other. It's my favorite marriage relationship in any movie. Stalactite has a C in it for Ceiling and Stalagmite has a G in it for Ground.

I loved that they knew each other well enough to anticipate how the other would act in any given situation. That end scene they showed is an obvious example but the bit where Evie is kidnapped she knows he'll be coming for her armed to the teeth and he knows she can help out with translations and stuff. It's nice to see a film couple that travel beyond the happily ever after bit (but that 3rd movie truly was a mistake)

Life is Beautiful is one of the best movies of all times! 😭 You had me bawling again so much I had to pause the video. Their love for each other is so powerful. That movie 💗😭
