Watch I'm No Fool with Fire For Free

Too much of everything

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Another education piece by Disney. I realize that this was made and released(well, at the very least, the latter of those two) before the other I commented on("...having fun"), but the first thing that struck me was how much(for something of such length... it's only eight minutes, people) animation and audio was reused(basically whatever they could get away with, it seems, whatever was vague enough that it fit both). This gives you something of a background story on the natural element in question, and even delivers some information about how it "works"(though without going into a complete physics lesson). The tips aren't bad, even if at least one point is ruined by a ridiculous amount of exaggeration. The concept and execution are as close to the other I reviewed(these are the only two I remember seeing) as humanly possible, so these really have nothing to offer as separate entities but the safety stuff... apart from that, watch one and you've seen them all, even that annoying(and way too catchy) theme song barely changes at all, just a few of the lyrics. The mocking and not particularly funny humor remains. I recommend this to parents who in general are partial to Disney, to show their kids... even if they don't fear that they've been breeding a tiny pyromaniac. 7/10

A Walt Disney I'M NO FOOL Cartoon.I'M NO FOOL WITH FIRE, this strange & wonderful thing which can be my best friend or my worst enemy.This is one of a short series of little television films in which Disney helped to inform viewers about basic safety concerns and the foolish ways in which lackadaisical folks can hurt themselves. The story of man's use of fire since caveman days is discussed - as well as the consequences for not respecting its dangerous power. Jiminy Cricket, as voiced by the inimitable Cliff Edwards, is the perfect pedagogue.Walt Disney (1901-1966) was always intrigued by drawings. As a lad in Marceline, Missouri, he sketched farm animals on scraps of paper; later, as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War, he drew figures on the sides of his vehicle. Back in Kansas City, along with artist Ub Iwerks, Walt developed a primitive animation studio that provided animated commercials and tiny cartoons for the local movie theaters. Always the innovator, his ALICE IN CARTOONLAND series broke ground in placing a live figure in a cartoon universe. Business reversals sent Disney & Iwerks to Hollywood in 1923, where Walt's older brother Roy became his lifelong business manager & counselor. When a mildly successful series with Oswald The Lucky Rabbit was snatched away by the distributor, the character of Mickey Mouse sprung into Walt's imagination, ensuring Disney's immortality. The happy arrival of sound technology made Mickey's screen debut, STEAMBOAT WILLIE (1928), a tremendous audience success with its use of synchronized music. The SILLY SYMPHONIES soon appeared, and Walt's growing crew of marvelously talented animators were quickly conquering new territory with full color, illusions of depth and radical advancements in personality development, an arena in which Walt's genius was unbeatable. Mickey's feisty, naughty behavior had captured millions of fans, but he was soon to be joined by other animated companions: temperamental Donald Duck, intellectually-challenged Goofy and energetic Pluto. All this was in preparation for Walt's grandest dream - feature length animated films. Against a blizzard of doomsayers, Walt persevered and over the next decades delighted children of all ages with the adventures of Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi & Peter Pan. Walt never forgot that his fortunes were all started by a mouse, or that simplicity of message and lots of hard work will always pay off.
