So I watched Harry Potter 1 through 3

StuartD · 08-10-2005, 02:14 PM

I figure since the 4th one is due out soon.... I should check them out.

One thing I am impressed with is how each movie is neither worse, nor better than the others. They all have the same look, the same feel.... nothing is changed or "upgraded" and all the same people are there, time after time.

Also, I really don't question any of it.... you know, you watch a movie and go "yeah right, that's possible!" but with these movies, you really do get drawn right in and feel a part of their world.

They're very well done.

I've never been drawn to those movies, but I'm sure that in a couple of years I'll know them all by heart. So I'm in no rush to see them.

There are a few that I already know by heart, like Bambi for example. Ryan loves that movie.

It won't take long, EC.

StuartD · 08-10-2005, 05:19 PM

I already know Bambi... bought the movie when it just came out again. I want to have all these good old classics for my baby when he's old enough to enjoy them.

And I'm sure he'll want to see Harry Potter as well, so I might as well know what to expect now

Here's a quick list of what our little guy loves to watch.

Rolie Polie Olie
Bear in the Big Blue House
Mighty Machines
Poko
Gumby (yes, Gumby)
Chip & Dale
Donald Duck
Boohbah
Bob the Builder
Maggie & The Ferocious Beast

Stuart, get yourself a DVR machine. Your cable company has them. You know, the machines that record up to 80 hours or whatever. They're awesome for programming all the shows he wants to watch.

Oh, and I'd also recommend the videos from Baby Einstein. I think we have all of them now.

Gruntled · 08-10-2005, 06:54 PM

Sounds like my TV's schedule exactly, Chris!

i've watched all those hp movies and it's still nothing compared to the books.. although for movies i find them already brilliantly made. i just wished hp movies didn't change director.. it was different..

Baby Einstein is one of the greatest creations ever. The combo of music and colors and constant action really keeps their attention. We have a few and they rock. Here are a few shows that Dylan likes that you might wanna try on Ryan since they are so close in age just depends on what kinda action he likes.

Jimmy Neutron
Teen Titans
The Jeff Corwin Experiance (Animal Planet not cartoon...lol)
Krypto the Super Dog
American Dragon
Kim Possible

We have the 3rd one but havent opened and watche dit yet. I might do that right now...lolol

I love how the Harry Potter books translated to film. I'm looking forward to the 4th one in November, but I really, really, really, (did I say really?) dislike what the stylists have don with Harry's and Ron's hair!!

I mean, I know that whole boys with long hair look is supposed to be making a come back, but they were so cute before, and now they look kind of dirty!!!

Thanks Don. I haven't heard of most of those which leads me to think that they're not even on any of the stations up here.

Jimey Neutron - Nick Jr
Teen Titans - Cartoon Network
Krypto - Cartoon Network
American Dragon and Kim P - Disney Channel

Maybe Canada is raciest towards american cartoons...;-) We used to have Noggin and I loved that channel...lol
