We hope to post them very soon. (I'm anxious to find out the results myself!) We had hoped to have them up by now, but other issues have delayed that post. Stay tooned, and we'll have those up ASAP. :)

Same here, though the new Steelbook editions released here look real purty and have made it more tempting. But I'm still resisting...

I watched the video promoting the Blu-rays, and I'll be darned--- I still got a tingle up my spine watching those scenes. Aside from the frustrating lack of original versions, it's sure to be an impressive set.

Two animated in the Top 5. Nice.

I think we really need to see things in action before we judge too much. I suppose many people will hate it for its mo-cap no matter what, despite the fact that we all mostly loved Gollum in LOTR. But with the talents involved, this film could end up pretty darn fine... if not awesome. In the meanti...

Well, I was reluctant, probably... at least initially before all the good word of mouth. I'm just not into dragons and mythology, generally, so the subject matter biased me against it. Plus, I expected a Shrek-like goofy film, only to be surprised to hear all the praise for it. I only see a few flic...

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!
