“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”
An industrious young woman refuses to charge for her cleaning services and is rightfully exploited for her naivety. she dies without ever having sought her own happiness as the supreme moral end. I didn’t finish watching this movie and found it impossible to sympathize with the main character. —no stars.

“bambi”
The biggest and strongest are the fittest to rule. this is how things have always been. —four stars.
“old screamer”
a farm animal is no longer useful and is disposed of humanely. a valuable lesson for children. —four stars.
“lady and the tramp”
a ridiculous movie. What could a restaurant owner gain by giving perfectly good food to dogs, when he could sell it for a reasonable price to humans? a dog cannot afford spaghetti, and payment is the only honest way to express appreciation for value. —a star.
“101 Dalmatians”
A rich woman tries to do her impoverished school friend Anita a favor by buying some of her many dogs and putting them to sensible use. Her generosity is rebuffed at every turn, and she foolishly and irresponsibly begins to acquire even more animals, none of which she uses to make a practical winter coat. altruism makes no sense. so are dogs. a cat is a much more sensible pet. a cat is objectively valuable. —no stars.
“mary poppins”

A woman accepts a job with a wealthy family without asking for money in exchange for her services. an absurd premise. later, her employer gives up a lucrative career in banking to play child’s play. —no stars.
“willy wonka & the chocolate factory”
an excellent film. obviously unfit individuals are selected through a series of entrepreneurial tests, and in the end, a young entrepreneur is awarded a factory. I think more movies should be made about young entrepreneurs who are given factories. —three and a half stars. (Minus half a star for the grandparents, who are absorbing Charlie’s and her mother’s work. If Grandpa Joe can dance, Grandpa Joe can work.)
“how the grinch stole christmas”
taxes are also a form of theft. in a truly free society, citizens should pay only what they are willing to pay for the services they need. —three stars.
“charlotte’s web”
a farmer allows sentimental drawings of an insect to prevail over economic necessity and refuses to value his prize pig, wilbur, by processing it and selling it on the open market. presumably the pig still eventually dies, just with no benefit to its owners. The farmer’s daughter, Fern, learns nothing except how to become a failed farmer. there is a rat in this movie. I quite liked the rat. he knew how to extract value from his environment. —two stars.
“the muppets take over manhattan”
This movie was a disappointment. the muppets don’t take manhattan at all. they just visit. —no stars.
“beauty and the beast”
A young woman turns down a financially independent hunter in favor of an unemployed nobleman who lives off the labor of others. Also, there are no trains in this movie. I liked the talking clock, which tried to take pride in his work despite the chandelier’s constant attacks on his dignity. the chandelier didn’t take his job seriously. —two stars.

“the little mermaid”
a young woman achieves all her goals. she finds an object of value—in this case, a dark, broad-chested man—and she sacrifices whatever she thinks is necessary (the sea, speaking, etc.) to acquire it. —four stars.
“babe”
another pig farmer is not doing his job. —no stars.
“toy story”
Finally, a comprehensive report on the inherent value of possessions. —four stars.
“garfield”
I liked this movie. cats are inherently valuable animals. it makes sense that there is a movie about a cat. I could demonstrate the objective value of a cat, if I wanted to. —four stars.
“up”
a man refuses to sell his house to serve the convenience of others, which is his right as a US citizen. he meets a dog, which does not find food for him or protect him from danger. he would have been better off with a cat. there are no cats in this movie. —two stars.
“frozen”
An exceptional woman foolishly allows her family members to prevent her from ruling a kingdom of ice in perfect solitude. she is forced to use her unique powers to provide free entertainment to peasants, without compensation. she liked me the snowman, when she sang. —a star.
