Compare that to something like The Bad Guys, where the fart jokes aren't a one-off subtle thing, but they visually take up the entire screen for an extended period of time, repeatedly throughout the entire runtime of the film, and it becomes pretty indicative of the movie's sense of humor as a whole, nearly to the same extent that food sex jokes were the basis of Sausage Party's humorYeah I think this is something that's important to me, I generally find the handling of all these "taboo subjects" better the less the thing is commented upon, so GWH having nudity that's fairly incidental is better to me than TBG making a whole deal out of Awkwafina trying not to drown in fart gas, which just got tedious, but to further defend it I just feel the fart scenes are the most blatant example of what I didn't like about the movie throughout. There's also a scene where either the Piranha or the Shark, I can't remember which, argues with Moss about whether a rock looks like a butt, and my problem with that scene definitely isn't the mention of butts, I mean I like looking at butts, it's just that they keep going back and forth and back and forth about whether it's a heart or a butt and it just draws out a joke that wasn't very clever in the first place. There's no sense of comic timing, and when you contrast it against something like The Big Bad Fox on the same list, involving the same animals, and also having Bad in the title but having a so much more disciplined mastery of comic timing it just comes off as really lame.
Well The Girl Without Hands successfully feeds the baby only after she drops the golden hands, right? I think the contrast between her not being able to do it (and how much that upsets her) with the hands, then being able to do it without them, serves to reinforce the idea that the prince while well-meaning doesn't really understand what she needs when he gives her the golden hands, and how learning to get rid of them is part of her character arc about learning to live on her own.
I didn't mention this in my write up, but Waltz has something similar that Red touched upon. There was a scene at the beginning with him remembering killing a bunch of dogs that really didn't serve any purpose at all. I give this one a bit more of a slide because it ties into trying to recover the lost memories but I still hated that scene.
It's pretty interesting to see what things stand out to people, cus like. Sometimes there's a movie that has like one fart joke or like one poop joke.
It lasts 10 seconds and then it's done. There's 2 hours of movie to enjoy, but people will single out that one specific moment and say that it ruined the movie for them and that they can't stand the character.
I suppose specific things just ruin things for specific people. Pointless animal abuse and overly excessive bodily functions are things that very much bother me I suppose!
You know, i try not to be a gross furry in these lists but...i dont think a character has ever made me feel less straight than Death. Like, damn. They knew what they were doing for that one.
Anyway sorry I had to break up everyones serious conversation.

Irl, I love an ugly dog as much as the next person, probably more
But also no dog has an eye that takes up more than half of its entire head and the annoying sidekickisms just never end. At some points it just really became grating the way someone yelling in your ear for an hour straight is going to do
Ermine: Oh, except the opening song. I hate that one. Trash opening song.
You wanna know what the craziest thing is? His design isn't even sexualized. Like, he's not revealing that much flesh or fur. He's not ridiculously anthropomorphic. He just... oozes charisma in the way he moves, fights, and speaks. I don't know why Death is so appealing, and he's just so cool . There's really no other way to describe it. I would let him claim my last life any day.Feels like Dreamworks was given freedom to give us actual characters unlike say Disney where everything feels like they went through 300 focus groups and homogenized to completely bland.
Fearless Hero not being great kind of works, though. Of course Puss would be egotistical enough to have everyone join in a mediocre song about how amazing he is.Yeah i thought this was the point. It was Puss' bravado that made the song. Not the song itself.

I know the list, but I will let the host be the one to officially reveal it when he posts the topic.I don't know if it's on the list, but I already know what I'd rank number one.
And it sets up the whole takedown of his character only moments later. That and the visuals for the whole thing are incredible, many of them going along to the beat of the song as well.Yeah the whole thing is trying to setup that it doesn't matter its not the greatest singer in the world. He is Puss in Boots. In this already fantasy world he is a spectacle. It doesn't matter if he falters a little or is careless or anything, he is Puss in Boots so no matter what he comes up roses. It is setting him up to be larger than life in an already larger than life universe. He has to have no care in life cause it all just works out for him.
