I've been thinking about making reviews on YouTube so I just searched Netflix for garbage to watch.
I found an animated film called "Everyone's Hero" that was produced by Fox. I later found out that the film was a directed by Christopher Reeve.
Yes, that Christopher Reeve. Superman himself. Apparently it was some kind of dream project. It was released in 2006, two years after Reeve died of a heart attack.

That said I'm very sad to say that Reeve's final film was sub-par at best. It wasn't funny, the story was predictable, the characters were cookie cutter and it tried really hard to be a Disney movie.
In fact the film's art style and animation looked suspiciously similar to Disney's The Incredibles in some places. It was Reeve's last movie, his dream project, and I'm willing to bet most of the people on this forum either haven't heard of it or said to themselves "Oh yeah, that movie. I haven't heard of it in years." The film was clearly very forgettable.

I don't know if I'm comfortable using this film as my first review. Not because of it's backstory but because it simply wasn't bad enough. It was forgettable.
That said I'm not starting my channel off with something as obvious as Troll 2 either. I might keep this in my pocket for later but I need a cinematic "trainwreck". Not a cinematic "opening your car door too fast, leaving a dent in a stranger's truck, and driving to another parking spot in the hopes that the owner never finds out."

Never heard of Everyone's Hero. I'd like to see it now.

I might suggest Pokemon 4Ever. I seem to be the only person who likes it. I think you can still find the DVD in bargain bins.

I liked Pokémon 4Ever as a kid. But I liked most things as a kid.
