Re: Your thoughts about The Incredibles?

I'd go as far as to say this was not an animated film, but an action film that just happened to be in the animated genre. I get your sentiment, but animation is not a genre. :) Now, if you'd said "an action film that just happened to be animated", or "an animated film that just happened to be in th...

Just saw this at the site link, and not that impressed. This is the first Pixar film that doesn't exist in a "believable" world. I mean, the Toy Stories had moving toys in an everday world, Bug's Life had insects in an everyday world, Monsters were imaginary characters that lived in THEIR everyday w...

Well, am I the only one who's disappointed that they went with the oh-so-ovbious, generic eyes in the windshield routine? I was kinda hoping for Pixar to use their magic are convincingly bring cars to life (and yeah, the headbeam-eye idea is almost as bad, but more logical). I mean, how do the human...

The Incredibles is the first traditional animated film of it's length that has a story. The Incredibles isn't "traditional" - it's CGI! ;) I have to say that, whatever you think, Fantasia IS counted by all and sundry as an animated film, albeit an anthology one, but it is the longest out there. I a...

Amazing Stories was what is known as an "anthology series", where each episode is new every week and has no bearing on past or future episodes. Amblin produced it, and Spielberg's friends basically used it as a awy of trying new things or just taking time out to have fun. Scorsese, Eastwood, Dear, D...

Re: 2d

:?: If this film does really, really badly, if people have a just plain awful reaction to it, could it spark a return to traditional animation? Nope. The Incredibles and the recent success of Shrek and Shark Tale will make up for it. The reason will be that Hanks has had a bad year, or that audienc...

Welcome to the boards! You're certainly jazzed up about Pixar's latest aren't you? Actually, I agree that, at that length, the film will have time to breathe and take in all the multiple layers that the trailers seem to point to. Just a thought, though: I know that Pixar's Boundin' is attached direc...

...and they're not even keeping to type this go around.

Last year it was the Premiere Collection - this year it's The Spotlight Collection Volume 2.

I think that actually tells you all you need to know about WB's handling of the lower, cut-priced deal.

Simple: Go for Gold! :)

I think it looks scary... Did they really ditch traditional animation for stuff like this?? 'fraid so. I picked apart the very first teaser trailer for an article at DVD Toons about a year ago. The piece looks at the Oscar candidates for this past year, but slide down to the bottom and you can read...
