Here's the perfect recipe for box office disaster: take one of the most beloved animated cartoons of all time, turn it into a live action movie nobody asked for or wanted, change all of the characters around so they don't even come close to the characters in the original, and finally, as a bonus, put down half of your potential movie customers as you trash the concept of the original film. Mix it all together, throw in a huge, overblown budget and you have a potential sweep of the 2025 Razzie Awards, especially since they have removed the "Worst Original Song" and "Worst Musical Score" categories. Well done, Disney!!
I am on my second episode and it is looking more and more like it will be my last episode. I have watched many "from above" types of shows like Europe From Above and they have been chock full of spectacular drone footage of scenery, monuments, cities, historical sites, etc cetera, and it has been wonderful to watch. This is the exact opposite of those types of programs. They instead take a few lame overhead shots then fill it with overly tedious drownings from so-called experts, whose main area of expertise seems to be wasting time. The result is a few 5 minute segments stretched out to make a 45 minute waste of time. Give this a pass.
History by the Numbers
It's not called History By The Numbers for nothing. The numbers came thick and fast, interspersed with a history of the fast food industry. White Castle, McDonalds, KFC, WhatABurger, Wendy's, it had it all and it was very informative and entertaining. Then the lectures started and it was all downhill from there. They started with obesity and childhood obesity then moved on to the evils of beef and poultry production, but it didn't start there. They then gave statistics on methane, pontificated on why we should eat more vegan options, all with sickening pompousity. At least they didn't tell us we should be eating insects, but maybe they will be saving that for a future program,
