So, is this going to be like the animated series with them going to school?

Have any of you seen the little behind-the-scenes featurettes that were on Disney Channel recently? There was quite a lot of new footage, including an almost entire scene where Tiana turns into the frog.

It's definitely Disney's highest achievement, in my opinion.

Well, I respectively disagree. I found the acting in the 1971 version to be flat (with the exception of Wilder), the songs (minus "Pure Imagination") to be annoying, the psychedelic nature to be extremely dated, the art direction to be cheap and the story to be poorly adapted. It felt as if Sid & Ma...

I thought despite the 2D look, it would mostly be done on computers, so it's nice to see them using the classic pencil-and-paper style.

Just got back from watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Pretty much what you'd expect from a Transformers film as directed by Michael Bay. While it does start out a tad slow, surprisingly enough, the film finally starts rolling at the end of the scenes at Sam's university. The special effec...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is the General Discussions board, so I assume it's alright if I continue the discussion. Anyway, last night I re-watched The Little Mermaid again and I was especially impressed by just how layered it was. On another forum I go to, I wrote up this little analysis...

I have to disagree with it being the GOOD adaptation. As a massive fan of the book, I really dislike the Gene Wilder version. Plus, it hasn't aged well at all.

In regards to Blu-Ray, I haven't gotten the incentive yet to jump on that train yet.

Yeah, that was so fantastic of Pixar. And Up is quite an appropriate film to watch as your last film.

I wonder if that employee was Pete Docter or possibly Bob Peterson.

Well, the confusion of Bolt is understandable. It does have an almost Pixar-like look to it and you can see John Lasseter's finger-prints all over it. In addition to his executive producer credit and the fact that he was all over promoting the film, I get why people might be confused. However, I thi...

Well, considering (during the 90s anyway), Disney was the big studio in terms of animated features, so naturally, people will think of Disney when they see one, despite the castle not appearing at the front of the film. A couple of months ago, I was talking about race in Disney films in one of my cl...

Happy belated birthday Donald. While I'm not a big fan of him, I do feel sorry that there isn't a big deal being made out of his 75th birthday, like they would have done if his name was Mickey Mouse. It's almost like Donald is the step child you don't talk about. Brings to mind the famous Mickey Mo...
