It sounds like it includes some content from the collector's edition available here. That comes with a bonus DVD, an exclusive Mickey figure, and some Wii doodads. I almost picked that version up, but stopped myself--- just wasn't quite worth the extra expense. That figure is nice, though. I just fi...

Finally watched this on Blu-ray tonight. Outstanding film!! My jaw dropped, my eyes welled with tears, I actually even audibly gasped near the end. I couldn't believe this was a DreamWorks film (as much as I loved Kung Fu Panda). It had its own style and its own energy, and I truly loved it. Just a ...

I bought this game for myself, but wrapped it for Christmas for my daughter. My guilt was alleviated when I saw how much she loved it---- both receiving it and playing it. I mostly just watch her play, spellbound by the beautiful design and story. It's a very cool trip for fans of old-time Disney.

I think what Ben is trying to say is that the "Disney magic" discussion has run its course, and can be dropped now. It's great to have passion, but at some point you need to realize that it's not necessarily that people don't understand you. They maybe disagree or.... just don't care as much as you ...

Re: Animated Views' Best of the Decade Film List

The description of Toy Story 3 reminded me that, well, I'm not sure "facing death with dignity" is really a topic for movies that very little kids will be watching, and the whole intensity and length of that rather scary scene is not good for them... My 3 year old and 9 year old had no issues. They...

The "offending" part is still there. In this case, past history may have made George a little oversensitive... but Eric really needs to tone down the rhetoric when he's already skating on thin ice. --------------------------------- But I'm glad to hear your positive words on Tron! I want to love it,...

<r>That's one DVD I do really regret selling a few months ago. i thought Disney would have a tricked-out Blu-ray of Tron already, so thought I should sell my DVD fast.<br/> <br/> I got about $12, I think.<br/> <br/> Now, not only could I get much more for it now, we still don't know if the BD will b...

I'm so glad I hung onto mine. I like the Blu-ray set for what it is, but there's a whole lot that it isn't!

Great review there, Ben!

Tough choices, to be sure, but here's what I settled on (though I might make totally different picks tomorrow, and keeping in mind I haven't seen all of this year's films yet so I'm basically guessing on some): Toy Story 3 Spirited Away How to Train Your Dragon The Incredibles Ratatouille Corpse Bri...

Forbidden Planet is boring?

Sometimes I think George and I must be from different planets. ;)

I'm waiting for mine to ship from that one website offer ($54, with free 8x10 lithos). Looking forward to them all, though, especially El Grupo!

For anyone that doesn't have the BCI sets and really loves those shows, I'd highly recommend seeking out the BCI sets while they can still be found. I've seen the He-Man (original series) sets going for a fraction of what they intially sold for, so keep an eye out. I don't have them myself, since I'...

In Calgary last spring, at their big comic and entertainment expo, I was standing by Earthworm Jim's creator when he commented on that...

... and I forget what he said exactly. But I don't think there were plans that he knew of at the time.
