Decided on Godai & Kyoko from Maison Ikkoku, for the holiday season ..

There is a book coming very soon (currently slated for December 9th) entitled Walt Disney Animation Studios - The Archive Series: Story which promises to be an excellent collection of pre-production art of all types (if a bit 'light' on text, aside from an introduction by John Lasseter). A couple of...

That's totally my bad. Sorry.

I assume Disney would be actually returning to the original digital 'ink-and-paint' elements of Beauty and the Beast , and would (basically) re-composite them to create the 3-D effect. It could be interesting .. and would likely be much more effective than the 3-D Nightmare Before Christmas (for whi...

John Powell's score for Bolt is quite good; nice action/chase themes for the TV show stuff, soaring themes for Bolt's true displays of heroism, and a nice tapestry of 'americana' for the RV park and 'road' scenes. Miley Cyrus' songs are good, as well; Barking at the Moon being the more 'affecting' o...

The Best Buy in Burbank had only two copies of WALL-E on blu-ray on its shelves upon opening the store this morning .. and both were the 2-disc version. Luckily, I got one of them 8) .. I'm pretty sure the other one was 'gone' mere seconds later. They did have large stacks of WALL-E on DVD (in both ...

Don't forget: It's Minnie's birthday, too ..

The original creators of Super-Dimension Fortress Macross were able to do just that in 1984, with the movie Do You Remember Love .. .. mind you; they had to start the story in the middle .. and condense/combine the TV series' main plot points by quite a bit. But it is an awesome movie .. perhaps the...

On a happy note, I recently discovered that Super-Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada are now available in a ten-disc DVD boxed set from AD Vision; the original japanese versions, with english subtitles.

I caught a sneak preview of Bolt last night at the Burbank AMC theater. It's a fun, cute flick .. very enjoyable. Though, IMHO, the parts are greater than the sum of the whole. There are many great little scenes that 'pay off' extremely well. The main characters are very fun .. each having several k...

I saw the new Star Trek trailer this morning, attached to A Quantum of Solace . It doesn't seem to be available 'online' yet, but it probably will be, soon. I will still give the new Star Trek movie a chance. But the trailer dashed much of my hopes that the 'tone' of the Original Series might be pre...

http://yafh.com/image/34665ffd-GrouchySmurf.jpg "I HATE slipcases!!" .. or, at least, the flimsy gloss-cardboard tubes that 'pass' for slipcases on most Disney discs. Though, I tend to repackage most of my DVD's entirely .. so I guess it's a moot point, for me. --------------------- :arrow: BTW, I'...

Is there some reason Space Chimps isn't on the list.. :?: The inclusion of that film would put the total at 15 .. ----------------- The Tale of Despereaux may 'technically' be a U.S. production, in that Universal Studios & Larger Than Life Productions are located in California .. but most of the mov...

I just re-read this thread .. and apparently, I've never offered my opinion of 'fave Trek film' (though, I could've sworn I had). ******** some (ancient) 'spoilers' ahead ************* As my previous post might suggest, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is actually my favorite film of the series. But no...

The first six Star Trek feature-films are rumored for release on Blu-Ray in 2009 .. most likely, to coincide with the release of the new Abrams film in theaters. Best of all (IMHO) .. the Star Trek: The Motion Picture BD would almost certainly contain the original theatrical cut (since the 'extended...
