I thought that was The Cat Returns?

I didn't say anything against Jodi. She's great! But in this one moment she sounded shrill and over the top...which wasn't helped by a very poor song that tried to pack in the emotion of a four or five minute ballad into less than two.

Thanks Dan, Jens. Seems a well worded, properly considered opinion can even make sense to those who were predisposed not to agree. I love it when people get so caught up in something they're not willing or able to see reason, but Justin can't seem to grasp what I'm saying: I didn't want to watch thi...

Wow, that is out of the blue. RIP, "The Voice". Sad...I nearly met the guy once during a voice over session. I was in the next recording booth and, during a break, a guy walked past. The producer I was with said, "hey, you know who that was? Don LaFontaine. Wanna meet him"? Yeah, I said, but it was ...

Nice review, I think I actually agree with it fully! Although I don't see Marina as a Morgana clone. ;) Thanks Dan. Hopefully I made a valid argument for my opinions. I saw Marina as essentially a Morgana-design, crossed with Yzma. If you mixed those two together, you'd basically get Marina, but ch...

Not that you would have guessed, but she's not my daughter! Just a younger member of the family. :) Again I would suggest though, that there's no point in creating something if it doesn't do anything. And that...with my review going up later today...is all I'm going to say about this. One can go on ...

Thanks, Justin. I appreciate that. Yes, I wrote that "You guys re going to hate my review", actually a little in jest, since it was getting such good notices here and I thought "wow, what I'm about to post isn't going with the popular opinion here"! And, yes, I will be attacking the animation, songs...

I'm not angry. I'm stating the fact. Of course a Fox And The Hound sequel was designed to shift more of the first one, and to probably make Copper and Todd viable characters again for more spin-offs in the way of merchandising and a possible TV extension. And I'm not "blaming Bad People". As I have ...

Yes, it's just the other reason. Moolah. If there's money to be made, any studio will chase that. Of course, faced with the orders from head office to make these things, the <I>artists</I> do do their best to try and pack them with as much artistry as possible, but their reason for being is because ...

The only two projects I really care about in the line is the original film and Stitch Has A Glitch. But...for those looking for the TV series in season sets, remember that Japan uses the same NTSC system and I would be surprised if the original English track wasn't present on the discs, so there is ...
