I watch Disney's A Country Coyote Goes To Hollywood and write my thoughts



Here we go, Walt Disney, what could go wrong.


Opening credits over the walk of fame. Huge nostalge back to California. It's barely changed other than the big old Hooters across the street.
They're now singing a fun little song about Hollywood while coyotes howl along. AND THERE'S A FUCKING RACOON IN THE SWIMMING POOL!


Yep this is ace. The coyotes continue to go off their heads in time to the music.
The narrator is calling the coyote a coyOTE. Not coyoteeee. The film's first downside.
They have named the coyote Chico. We're back on track.
Chico is being chased and has found a friendly van driver to save him. It's essentially footage of a coyote running wildly round the desert as the camera pans slowly towards the back of the van.
Shots now of the terrified coyote in the back of the van, it's not got a clue what's going on.


They've definitely gone through about 7 different coyotes at this stage.
They've now blasted some hot steam just feet away from Chico. He continues to look terrified.
He's now in that bit from Grease with the car chase. There are now shots of coyotes scurrying through the storm drains. These coyotes all Chico of course.
Some physical humour as Chico steals a golfers golf ball. This amuses me more than it should.


The film makers now attempt to try and choke Chico with the gold ball. I'm guessing the coyote count at this point must be about 20 deep.
He's on the Hollywood sign now.
GASP. A possible love interest for Chico now. That looks exactly like Chico himself.
It's being made to look like he's met some friends and they're all getting on. Pretty adorable.
There are quite obviously production team members waving sticks and shouting at these coyotes so they run in the right direction.
They've trained the coyotes to open bottles. This is actually quite impressive. If there was a Chico the coyote show at Disneyland I'd definitely watch it.


It's gone a bit GTA5 now as the coyotes plan a heist on a house in the LA hills.
A coyote is a cross between a fox and a dog I've realized. The Fox and the Hound acts as this films prequel.
More chasing from the dog from Tom and Jerry. Well more Marmaduke. It's sad to know that that dog almost definitely caught that coyote a few times during filming.


More shots of the coyotes running about together as if they're friends. Cute.
Great shots of them now smoking out random animals. HOLY SHIT! They just set fire to a harmless toad?! Poor thing.
Actually, what happened to the ace raccoon from the intro? I was expecting him to play a major part.
Surprisingly tense scenes as it looks like Chico and pals may be burnt alive. More smoke is blown into their face. Real whimpering is heard.


Luckily one of the coyotes has manned a fire fighting plane and is putting out the fire. And they're now pouring some kind of toxic powder stuff directly onto the coyotes. Coyote count at this stage - 50.
OH- there's the love interest.
The music is getting a bit sexy. It's getting a bit weird.
They're adorably kissing and jumping around each other now. Everything but the humping.


'And that was Chico's que to pop the question'. Film of the year. Chris certified.
Now immediate baby Chicos. Chico's wife has baggage obviously.
My god. The story is now legit that the girl coyote was a whore who was only interested in dumping her children on the man. #reallifesatire.
Quite majestic looking animals. Animals that would almost definitely rip you apart if you went near them.
The humans are now trying to trap the coyotes. The coyotes are too clever obviously though.
Aaaand they've caught him.



It's fine though as whore-coyote's kids are trying to help him.
Oh wait they've failed.
Here comes the human to put the coyote out of it's misery and end the film. Genuine feels.
They're driving away with him in the cage. Oh noooo.
Being Disney the human was actually good and Chico has been returned home.
But he's had a taste of Hollywood! He wants to go back. Reminds me a bit of me last summer.
Oh shit there's now a van going to San Francissco. Please let there be a sequel.
O wait not San Fran. NEW YORK!


And so ends a Country Coyote Goes To Hollywood. Excellent ending, Excellent film.
