BEVANFIELD FILMS

a British d-list animation studio. You can find a good handful of their movies on youtube. They were mostly producing through the 80s and 90s. A lot of stories that disney has versions of, and some around the same time like knock-off styley. Somewhere around 2015 I picked up a DVD from goodwill that had "6 family classics" (always buy these compilation DVDs). One of them was Bevanfield's adaptation of "beauty and the beast". this is the one I have linked. it makes me laugh so much when i watch it with my friends. somehow christopher lee does one of the voices and he does a bad french accent. My second favorite is "jungle book". The editing is so uncanny as to seem intentionally off. I assumed for a long time they were poor quality dubs of a dutch animation studio or something so I lost it when i learned recently its a british studio. The drawing style changes often and theres moments you can tell that they were tracing drawings from disney characters. The music is also very good in these p.s. if you look them up dont watch the stupid reaction videos of people watching bevanfield movies, theres a few of those to avoid

the shitty knock-off beauty and the beast movie i loved as a kid

it's by a company called golden films, which made (makes?) cheap knock-offs of every disney movie. the one i'm referring to is like 45 minutes, was released in 1997, and is truly awful. the animation looks like ass and there's lots of odd little changes to keep it distinct from disney's version and avoid copywright infringement. instead of enchanted furniture, we get 3 ghosts in this movie who float around and haunt the beast. they are canonically the ghosts of 3 of the peasants who died because the prince refused to help them when there was like a drought or something. the music was absolutely banging though, a few original songs that are shockingly good and the rest was all tchaikovsky music. that was clearly a move to save money by using public domain tracks but tchaikovsky was a musical genius so it works. the voice acting is crazy and there's this hilarious scene where the beast falls down a flight of stairs that is so dramatic. craziest thing about this is that i preferred this movie to the disney version. i actually threw out our disney version vhs tape because i only wanted to watch this one. as an adult i was fortunately able to find a dvd copy of it at a dollar store and i have made so many of my friends watch it with me. highly recommend.

dirty rat

this is just one of those pieces of lost media from childhood thats randomly stored in my brain next to disney channel bumpers and skits from “now, a word from us kids!” it’s from a croatian animated feature called Lapitch the Little Shoemaker and i really think the visual style and music holds up. they truly did not have to go so hard for a cartoon about a mouse that went straight to VHS and barely anyone would see but THEY DID 😭🫶🏼

♻︎ CROW JOURNALIING ♻︎

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like eh, i'm having fun🤷‍♀️
