As Snow White hits theatres this week it's hard not to think about what started it all. From the aforementioned classic to Walt's magnum opus : Fantasia , Disney pushed boundaries in Cinema. Win or Loose is an example of that boundary being pushed through long form story telling, animation that challenges the imagination of the Spidey Verse, and good old fashioned heart. There's something truly magical about this particular creation. It's about perspective and it feels of the moment in ways that almost makes the animation giant feel relevant. Disney please cut the remakes, take a risk, it works.
Sure the stories been told before, but for the most part all of the ingredients in this one had my Dina tickling my Simone. To me I'd compare this to M. Nights Unbreakable in recent years. The camera work is most captivating when it makes the world feel small, if the filmmaker succeeds, you might too by the end. Alternatively, to those who believe that art is the towering ideal we all should strive and aim for, like myself, I felt scene in all the best ways. Thematically I'd had like to see a deeper exploration but sometimes a little goes a long way in this tight hour and 20 minutes (or so) watch.
