The Jumbo Movies

 

                              Jumbo                             

Why?

Gonna keep this one short and sweet. I fell down a trailer rabbit hole.

What in the world?

An elephant wants to compete in a spelling bee but uh oh he gets cursed with amnesia by an evil frog.

Personal thoughts

I literally thought I knew how to spell words but when they would spell them, I would get them wrong. That was a huge shock to me and my mom. We both did the same thing. I have to say that my favorite character in this one didn't get enough screen time. He was an evil, voodoo snail who ate deer. Never on screen because that would be traumatizing. 

Score

I would have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. Unsurprisingly, it's not fun to watch animals spell out words for over an hour. I did find it funny how they gave an elephant amnesia that was pretty cool on their part. 


Jumbo 2

Why?

It's what I like to call a movie marathon. I will not confirm or deny if it was a good marathon or not.

What in the world?

As a follow-up to the other one, Jumbo has depression and his old arch nemesis just wants to beat box.

Personal thoughts

Ok let me address the picture. There was virtually no pictures of this movie so I had to improvise. Anyway, they did my guy Bert, the frog, dirty in this one. They showed him little to no respect and he deserved better. His talent would have gotten him far. Their is really no exciting plot in this one but Jumbo feels the need to put himself into everyone's life which is just stupid if you ask me.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. Although it did have beatboxing, that was not enough to save this film. The voice actors had changed but all of the voice actors were the same (just Wownow things). Jumbo didn't even tell that good of jokes yet they all thought that his jokes were the best thing ever. Never encourage someone that is bad at what they do. No one needs that little self-esteem boost even if it is a formerly famous elephant.

Watch what you love,
