although Tomorrowland is coming over less mysterious and more of a straight adventure movie now, I'm still tickled to see it. I'm assuming once they get past Bird and Lasseter's classic-Disney awe and iconography, we'll get as much of the chase/conspiracy plot the producers could salvage from the o...

I take it we're using "Lovely" in an ironic sense?
One generally doesn't hear that word in connection with Disney XD.

(And how did she get Card Captor Sakura's third-season wand?)

Yeah, but it's got Sweeney Todd in Concert , though, not the original Angela Lansbury staging which has still been available on DVD since the Burton movie came out. (And the PBS Concert version always reminds of the Forbidden Broadway jokes about why Sweeney Todd is constantly revived by small theat...

So why use her (and Quicksilver) and cause potential audience confusion? Avengers has a long way to go to beat X-Men's treatment of Quicksilver, that's for sure. As for why, basically the same reason as Ant-Man, Black Panther and Dr. Strange: They "had" to be included in the canon, or fans would as...

Looks like they still don't have a clue who Scarlet Witch is-- Here, they couldn't decide between telekinesis and "messing with the heroes' heads", which means they've basically rewritten the Bad Jean Grey from X3. Think they killed Wanda off in the comics anyway, so the current canon isn't going to...

Boy, once SNL gets a hold of one Bambi II joke, they don't let it GO, do they?
This's what, the third Disney/Bambi II-bashing sketch they've done?
(Someone's a little oversentimental for Robert Smigel, back when any 00's jab at Eisner was "bold" and "revolutionary"...)

Yeah, it's been delayed to 2017, but they started shooting a couple weeks ago. http://collider.com/the-jungle-book-andy-serkis/ Although it's technically not "Andy Serkis' vision"--The project was originally designed for Alejandro Itti...Irritat...the Birdman Guy, which explained the delay, that he...

A live-action Mulan could be amazing, but I'd much rather see it being done in China. There were Chinese-made live-action versions of the "real" story at the time (just like we got floods of "real" Pocahontas stories after the movie came out), and think there may have been some memo lying around Di...

Do the "Ever After" song that was cut from the musical during the wedding parade from the film. Ever After does show up in the scene as the incidental music, but it wouldn't have hurt to have them sing it, just to be interrupted (and prevented from doing the cut end-of-Act I Woods reprise) by the "...

Adam West is coming back as Batman for a 50th anniversary ('60s live-action TV series) animated film based ostensibly on the old TV series. More likely, it's a DC Animated based on DC's "Batman '66" comic series based entirely on the TV canon/iconography. Which wouldn't be too bad--I'd rather have ...

Again, you make money off the first weekend if you can cut a TV ad, but it's the second weekend where you find out whether they actually LIKED you: Or as the saying goes, "You make first weekend's money from the people going in, you make your second weekend's money from the people going out ..." Hom...

Think the myth of March Geek-Week is starting to fade-- Insurgent thought they'd still have the Teen YA weekend, Disney thought they'd have the Alice II (or III, or IV) weekend with Cinderella--and did--and DWA will always release something in March. (What, no CGI FX period blockbuster this year, tr...

We watched this last night, On Demand from our local TV provider. I liked it, but was satisfied I'd gone with a rental rather than a purchase (though I might still cave later when I see it on sale!). The casting mostly worked for me. The kids were fantastic, and the Hollywood casting worked. Chris ...

EricJ , I hardly know what you are talking about. Are you saying The Slipper & the Rose was so good you don't want to see this new Cinderella movie? I'm saying, the audience stampede of "Wow, a gorgeously designed live-action Cindy!" may just be a drop of water in the desert for people who didn't k...

Sony's Amazing Spidey reboot franchise, where Richard Parker was part of some secret conspiracy, was based on Ultimate (also to distance themselves); Raimi's went from the classic canon. Avengers, OTOH, just pretty much fit their classic-canon to wherever it would jibe with the previous movies, exce...
