Shows: Prince and the Pauper



This is a collection of 5 short Disney Shows, I broke them down by show.

Prince and the Pauper

This is a cute little one. Mickey Mouse is the Prince and the Pauper. This is about a common peasant going into the castle and the Prince sees that they look the same and decides to trade places for a day. The Prince goes and hangs out with Goofy (the friend) and finds out that his father's army is stealing people's money and food in the name of the king, but the king is sick and dying and would never do that.



Meanwhile Pete (the evil commander) finds out that Mickey is just a peasant and tries to use him so that he can own the town forever with the help of the "prince"

During the coronation, Mickey (real price) comes to the rescue to defeat Pete and take his spot on the throne, now that his father is dead.



Pied Piper

In this short story, a town is over run by rats and the mayor asks that anyone who can get rid of them would get a lot of money. This one guy says he will do it and pipes a tune and the rats all leave with him.



When he returns for the money, the mayor says he doesn't deserve it because he didn't do anything. So the Pied Piper uses his tune to take the kids away from the town.



Old King Cole

I'm so beyond confused on this one it's not even funny. It's like a lot of different plays that the king has playing that are a bunch of legends, I think, don't quote me. I didn't like it.



A Knight for a Day



In this one, Goofy is a squire and the knight he serves gets injured during this competition to get the princess's hand, so Goofy takes his master's place and faces the toughest knight in the competition.



Through sheer luck he wins and the princess wanted him to.



Ye Olden Days



This is the only black and white one in the group. Minnie is being given away in this episode and she refuses, so her father locks her up and so Mickey fights her pursuer and wins and takes Minnie away


Movie: Stuck In Love



I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this movie or not, but I didn't think it was that bad.



It's a story about three different relationships that aren't perfect and involves a lot of gives and takes. Oddly the three relationships are that of a father, daughter and son all trying (or not really trying) to find love.



The father is still in love with his ex-wife who left him/cheated on him and lives with this new guy now. It's odd, but you find him kinda stalking her in the beginning trying to find out what she's doing. He's a famous book writer and he lives on the beach and has a friend with benefits who is trying to get him out there in life and move on. His son wants him and his mom to get back together, but the daughter wants nothing to do with her mom anymore.



The daughter is in college, she's just kinda sleeping around with different guys, she doesn't believe there is love in the world, but one guy is really trying to get her attention because he likes her. She just published a new book and when her mom shows up to her book premiere she pretends not to know her and then finds out her boyfriend (the one that was trying to get her attention, he finally did) was the one who invited her mother she breaks it off with him until she hears that his mom died from her cancer and that brings them closer again. This also leads her to go to her mom and try to refoster their alliance.



The son is the one I thought would have at least a decent relationship but his is actually the most screwed up, kinda. The girl he likes in high school is kinda a drug addict and a whore (please excuse my language, but it's kinda true). At a party one night he punches her boyfriend who is being an ass to her and then she and he start hanging out together. At his sister's book premiere, she gets drunk and then leaves the party, when they find her she's drunk, high, and passed out in some guy's room. After this she pretty much goes to rehab and then at the end at family dinner you hear him say that "it might be her" when there's a knock at the door.



It's actually the mom at the door (this is after the daughter and mom reconnect)

Show: Power Rangers: SPD


So this wasn't a bad spin off of the Power Rangers. I thought it was good, but started to get too complicated towards the end.



It starts out with three of the rangers, they are in SPD (Space Patrol Delta) and they are training to be rangers. While on a mission they run into Jack and Z. They are in trouble, but they end up becoming the last two rangers after the Commander sees them.



In this series, the bad guys are people from space (again) and they are a little girl and her uncle, although for a portion the little girl is an adult and she hates it and complains.



In each episode, there are different monsters that the rangers face and some they have to face alone and they learn some kind of lesson. Towards the end of the series, they end up gaining some more rangers. Doggy (the Commander) is Shadow ranger, then there are Nova and Omega who are from the future that come to help. Then in a few episodes they bring rangers from the past (from Dino Thunder) to the series. This is where I think it got to complex, but it's all the same really.
