Movie #3013 "Le pupil" (theatre) I can't believe this is a Disney movie --- it is just plain silly to me. Sometimes I watch these short films and I just shake my head and think: now why was this one made? And that's the feeling I had about this one. I did not like it. At first, it seemed to have a point --- this adorable pouty-faced little girl was the only one who had straightened her bed in the school dorm while the others were being scolded for not doing so by the nuns --- Attending all catholic schools while in elementary school, I was fully aware of how stern some nuns can be, so I believed that scene. But then all of a sudden , they break the 4th wall and turn to us and tell us in song what the story is about --- ??? So then I think, well, this is going to be a comedy and a creative "out of the box" kind of film. But it never got me back to what the point was --- It had what I would consider scattered, silly scenes, and I never put them together --- it probably is my fault -- it was the last one on the bill, and it was Disney so I expected a film with much more quality. Surprisingly, it ended up at the bottom for me. So it probably will win because like I said, I probably missed something here. The little girls were cute, the nuns were stern, there were a couple of cute moments, but that's it --- 3. (might I add it was the longest?)
