I was watching A Goofy Movie the other day and felt like drawing one of the background dancers. They need more fanart, I might draw one the Cowgirls next(“Open road”sequence)

Crybaby (1990) 9/10

Set in the 1950s, a proper woman falls for one of the members of a rival gang, which her grandmother, boyfriend, and other gang members don't approve of.

This is a surprisingly funny movie, first off. The timing of the one-liners is excellent, and the dramatic acting is hilarious. You can't really take this movie seriously, which is why it's funny. They're really just making fun of Grease, if anything.

The cast is interesting too, notably with Johnny Depp in the titular role of Wade 'Crybaby' Walker, Amy Locane as Allison Vernon-Williams-Crybaby's love interest, Ricki Lake playing Crybaby's sister, Pepper, Iggy Pop as Belvedere Rickettes-Crybaby's uncle, and Kim McGuire as Mona 'Hatchet-Face' Malnoroski.

This is also a musical, so if you're not into that, I wouldn't watch this. However, there are some catchy songs, such as 'Please, Mr. Jailer', 'King Crybaby', 'Doin' Time For Bein' Young', and 'High School Hellcats'. Most of the songs that Johnny Depp is in are reminiscent of Elvis, such as his moves in 'King Crybaby'.

It does feel a bit rushed, in a way, when you think about the fact that the events in the movie appear to happen within less than two days, but the plot is easy to follow. And there's a few terms that some people might not be familiar with, due to when it's set, such as 'hep' which is an old slang word for 'hip', which means cool, or trendy.

The only thing I would critique is that Allison and Crybaby's relationship is difficult to like at times, due to miscommunication on both sides. And one aspect of it isn't even Crybaby's fault! However, they eventually reconcile and make up by the end.

But this is a movie where you don't need to think too much to enjoy, and it's a comedy, which lots of people enjoy. I would definitely watch it again.

Jusqu'ici, tout va bien

I needed a break from my fun (but intricate) current art projects, and so I did this little screen shot doodle from one of my favorite movies Sabrina (1995- starring Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, and Greg Kinnear) I quite enjoyed it, so I may be doing more of these quick doodles in the future! #ryliesavageart #sabrina1995 #90smovies #screenshot #redraw #art #artistsoninstagram #artwork #illustration #illustrationartists #illustragram #illustatorsoninstagram #illustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/CoK_vvlPP-g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
