I don't think they would ever purposely go for a cartoony style. Actually, Dumbo was very much created with a purely cartoon style in mind. It was a short, breezy movie that was intended to have a fast turnaround. The various units on the film worked as if they were creating an cartoon short, which...

Is it a great movie? No. Is it entertaining? Not really. ;) I went in really not expecting much at all, which is usually the cue for me to come out thinking I had an excellent time. This was entertaining to degree, but only if you're a teenage-minded kid at heart who just likes loud bangs, flashy v...

Really, I think they know they're sales are done when the Fleischers dry up. I'm in for them and a few of whatever comes next in the same set, but I won't go for a purely non-Fleischer collection unless it comes with an absolute <I>killer</I> bonus feature.

Yay! A new game!

Hey George...you're often posting such links to joke or fake stories, and hoaxes, so could I ask you to start containing them all in this thread please?

That would be great, thanks!

Official warning on The Mummy: Don't go see this drivel. It's competently made, but sheer committee sequel formula filmmaking. They have things happen just because it should be "cool" but they actually make no sense! "Oh, if the Emperor drinks this, he'll be immortal", "if he manages to do this he w...

As I say, I think there's an amazingly brilliant director's cut in there somewhere, but what has been put out for now wasn't it.

The "canon" list was updated last in 1985. Until then the package films had been included. In 1985, when Black Cauldron became their 25th feature, they eliminated all but the almost 100% pure animated titles. Dinosaur was never on the list because it wasn't hand drawn. They thought they were going t...

Looks like droo and George just wrote Grunt's paper for him!

Who knows!

Marketing? Maybe the title has been switched for a later entry in the series?


Welcome to our boards.

If you're looking for the mainstream, then the likes of Akira, Paprika and Steamboy are about as good as you'll get without going for Miyazaki. Eddie's choice of Metropolis also fits the bill, as well as maybe Ghost In The Machine, but it feels like you want to get away from the sci-fi stuff? If so,...

Really? I didn't know that. Since they're pretty intrinsic to the film, that's a pretty neat move! I love it when OSTs are able to be more inclusive like this. There are certainly a lot of soundtracks I own that are "missing" one or two pivotal song moments from their listings that are not "pop sing...

I'm afraid I gotta come clean... While I thought it was a much, <I>much</I> better film than Batman Begins, that wasn't saying much for me. I just didn't like the <I>Dark Knight</I> all that much and can't see how it's making all this coinage. I found it to be a series of non-linking scenes that did...

Clever indeed, Meg! I agree with James and will end on these points: Yes, I did get that WALL-E is "Wally". If it wasn't obvious enough to begin with, it's clear enough from the trailers, and you only have to listen to how EVE says it over and over in the movie. Plus, I happen to think that I'm not ...

The South Park business was unfortunate, but Chef will be missed.
