Re: The Muppets
No, Elmo was a fairly professional-grade movie, albeit no Follow That Bird. This was more in the category of Preschool Training Movies, that encourage kids in the audience to interact to help the onscreen hero, thus introducing fidgety 3-yo.'s to the concept of why they have to sit still in a dark r...

Re: DMC Exclusive Disney Blus
And since I was away from my computer for a week, I missed the deadline, and am now going to be the proud owner of their last monthly release, the SW: Obi-Wan S1 steelbook.
Anyone who wants to buy it off me, last dibs, although I'm probably donating my similarly-in-error Wish copy to the library.

Re: The Muppets
Elmo was a wide theatrical release. Abby was...not, AFAIK.

Re: YouTube Goodness
I remember when the concept was first announced, and I pictured a sort of grocery equivalent of Ralph Breaks the Internet.
It indeed takes a lot of hard work and effort to not only screw it up, but make something not even faintly resembling the premise.

Re: The Muppets
It's a reference to this short film he created in 1966: (Old Mel Brooks guy from the "Critic" short:) "So vhatdahell is this? Oh, he's dreaming about lightning, yeah, the pillow must be pressing on his eyeballs, that's happened to me..." 60's Jim Henson embarrassed film students everywhere by being...

Re: New Disney Streaming Service: Disney+
Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin was from a book by Sid Fleischman, whose children's books have a taste for old-fashioned Mark Twain style tall-tales.
70s Ron Miller may not have had the subtlety to translate his stories in spirit, but he's still worth reading.

Re: The Muppets
That's just it, I'm worried it's going to be TOO saintly and canonized, and not get into Jim's darker mindset in the 80s towards Kermit & Co., vs. his new dreams of literally being the George Lucas of puppet/creature FX. Ron Howard is obviously trading on his reputation for biodocs after X-producing...

Re: Disney's Wish
And ironically, one of the few times I MISSED my Disney Movie Club reminder and got the Blu-ray of the month….

Re: Disney's Wish
]There's a kernel of a good idea in there. I like the notion of people gullibly giving up their wishes, and therefore leading mundane lives devoid of promise, only to reclaim their wishes and banish the one who would deny them their dreams. That's really an awesome idea, and the ending almost made ...

Re: Disney's Wish
Sorry, but had to go back two pages to find a theater review to argue with: And if more care was taken with the story, this could have been a great movie. If I was in charge of the story, I would have tweaked it a little bit. Sure, still have Asha have her entitlement issue over the wishes, still ha...

Re: Disney's Wish
Finally got through it on D+: I know my first impulse seeing the trailer was "Why didn't they just make an Elena of Avalor movie?"--And while I've learned to at least try to give Disney movies the benefit of the doubt (I was defending Treasure Planet twenty years before it was cool, and now like Her...

Re: YouTube Goodness
By the music, I'm guessing this was to fill space-time while Snoopy was twanging his jaw-harp on the cross-country bus ride.
No loss--After all, it's supposed to be about Charlie's spelling bee, it's not titled "A Blanket Addict Named Linus".
