Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) Slight "find the magical object" plot interrupted by irrelevant musical numbers and a pointless soccer match between cartoon animals. Seems to lack any unifying viewpoint or direction. This is the extra-long restored edition and was a bit of a chore to sit through. 4/10
Think Fast, Mr. Moto (1937) Peter Lorre the action hero, dashing around backlot chinatowns after archfiend Sig Rumann, my birthday twin. Pretty entertaining, its twisty plot enhanced by the short appearance of Moto's compatriot played by the attractive Lotus Long. Mr. Moto movies are much more watchable and exciting than Mr. Wong or Charlie Chan. 7/10
Happy Feet (2006) "Oddball becomes savior" story consisting entirely of "recognizable" situations and characters - i.e. one long string of cliches punctuated by roller coaster rides. This is almost made up for by magnificently spectacular animation and absolutely brilliant musical numbers. There are moments of pure genius - entirely unconnected with the story. Plot 4/10, music and presentation 10/10
