Toon Talk - From the Other Side: Shrek the Third

Of course, you know how it all ends up; for, despite its stance of thumbing its nose at fairy tale tropes centuries old, the Shrek films always end up embracing their own (allowably twisted) happily ever afters. And this time, it's super-sized.
Toon Talk Rating: C
Alternate Arthurian Legends Edition
In this ‘Toon Talk' feature, I will briefly highlight a recommended film or DVD, outside of the Disney universe, of similar interest to the main subject.
CAMELOT
1967 - Warner Bros.
Lerner and Loewe's Broadway musical hit got the mega-budget treatment from legendary producer Jack Warner, his last big production. And, like My Fair Lady before it, he passed on original leading lady Julie Andrews in favor of a non-singer, Vanessa Redgrave ... but this time forgot to dub her. No matter, Richard Harris' robust King Arthur steals the show any way; the bland Franco Nero as Lancelot - who was dubbed - never had a chance. While not as successful as Lady, this Camelot did win three Oscars, including awards for its sets and costumes that practically define the word "lush". DVD available from Warner Home Video. MPAA Rating: G |
Coming Soon:
- Yo ho, the final chapter of the saga arrives with Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (May 25).
- More penguins hit the big screen - and the beach - in Sony's new animated comedy Surf's Up (June 8).
- Everyone's favorite girl detective is back in Warner's all-new Nancy Drew (June 15).
