Re: Sym-Bionic Titan

There is, of course, a healthy dose of 'originality' stirred into the mix, as well. But it is evident that most of S-BT 's creative staff are huge fans of vintage anime, giant robots & monsters, and sci-fi in general .. and that they seem to be having a blast making this show, which celebrates the ...

Re: Sym-Bionic Titan

I also love the many little 'easter-egg' anime/movie references peppered throughout the series. Cameos from the Yamato's wave-motion gun, Gatchaman 's Dr. Nambu, and even the bank-robber/terrorists from Die Hard just make watching the show that much more fun. :) I'd caught part of SBT knowing it wa...

Re:

EricJ , what was the fairy tale that wasn't Tangled and wasn't The Princess and the Frog?. (Think back--What Disney classics have we had since "Aladdin"?: "Well, there was Lion King, with the animals in...Africa... Oh, and there was Pocahontas, she was a...real-life figure, but Mulan, she was...sup...

Re:

Three: So Disney announces they still want to make fairy tales. Good. But they changed the name of their current fairy tale and are trying to make it seem like it's not the original fairy tale. WTF. And two other observations from the TAG: 1) "Boy, good thing Disney 'isn't doing anymore fairytales'...

Re: Toy Story 3

and also wonder myself what the "Woody rescues Buzz from Tokyo" storyline might've been like. Can't remember where I saw the full synopsis online, but short answer: A DISASTER. :shock: Woody and the gang stowaway to Tokyo(/Taiwan?), where he's aided by a sexy collectors' action-figure (instead of J...

Re:

Well, if you'd linked the article, we'd know for sure-- But, again, sounds like the LA Times wanted a fear-on-demand tie-in story of "Will Tangled do as badly as Frog did at this same time last year?" on pure speculation, noticed the current shaky-transition drought of unannounced WDFA projects, put...

Re:

Although keep in mind, at the moment "Foreseeable future" is two to three films at best. (And while "Mort" ranks as Book Adaptation, wouldn't exactly call that "no fairytale"...) Unless Disney's made an actual press statement, sounds more like LA Times trying to manufacture the story they wanted to ...

Re: Tangled (formerly Rapunzel)

That said, he is the guy who brought us Mermaid, Beauty, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Hunchback, Hercules, and Enchanted! (Haven't heard Home on the Range).

Re:

Not sure that was a "test" animation, Eric. And Tink had a voice: she sneezes, and "old" Tink wouldn't have had a vocal for that. The first two "Pixie Previews" (Tink & the bell, and the pepper shaker), in addition to one each for the other characters, were tests for marketing the characters in sol...

Re:

EricJ , I think you were a little harsh on DisneyPictures, your language can be very in your face and I don't think it was best to use it on representatives from company's making the very movies we want to talk about. Okay, sorry, don't want to drive away new members-- Just get a little rankled at ...

Re:

I will say though I did like that the fairies apparently can't actually TALK to the humans Specifically, in that it shows how new-canon Tink (who is still supposed to be a prequeled "new" character) first learns to develop the pantomime performances from her classic Old-canon character. Which bridg...

Re: Oscars 2010

TS3 can really only hope for a Best Picture nom, Eric. As for it actually winning , that seems highly unlikely. It will win Best Animated Feature without any problem, with the only really thing standing in its path being the "are they really going to give it to Pixar again?" feeling that some peopl...

Re: Oscars 2010

Although it probobly won't happen, HTTYD has my vote. It did something to me that TS3 ..didn't. I can't quite explain it. I went in going with of course high hopes, but, put it this way, it was a very good movie. VERY good, but I guess HTTYD was a surprise,but it just blew me away. . Dragon seemed ...
