I shall sum up my thoughts and experiences with Dr Dolittle 3 in a poem...

I saw the ad for this DVD
And it looked bad (not surprisingly.)
Why has the film industry gone bad?
Poor DVD movies make me sad.

I'm not sure but what you said rings a bell; I'm pretty sure they gave up the rights to this. Maybe because once the Disney Afternoon took off all the other shows were more popular? I don't have any Disney Channel aside from the UK channel ABC1 (a similar concept to BBC America), but I remember see...

It's a shame that this film isn't been given the light of day that it deserves. Like Ben, I've managed to see Song of the South due to being a UK citizen. I fortunately managed to tape this off BBC2 a few years ago (sans commercials since the BBC in England is advert free), and when I finally get a ...

I don't think that Star Wars was based on a book. Isn't it an original idea of sorts? :?: Needless to say, I think the general success of book to film adaptations stems from the fact that they're based on well-known things. I think that people like to hear a story that they already know told in a di...

Yes, it did.

I'm sorry this post is a little delayed, but if you're a fan of Hercules and want to learn out about how it was made, I'd completely recommend this book: http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/0786862416.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0786862416/qid=1144056593/sr=1-17/ref=sr_...

But seriously, that scared me for a second.

I do hope that this is an April Fools Joke. Otherwise, I am literally going to turn into an anti-capitalist Michael Moore figure (well, maybe nowhere near as big).

http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14300 According to that post on Ultimate Disney, the show got the lowest possible rating (I don't understand the jargon, so that's all I can really say). How about interviewing Jeffrey Katzenberg? I think the ratings would be VERY high for that one...

Like the "Special Editions" of Beauty And The Beast and The Lion King, the end credits were different in that they had some restoration people in there and new credit music rather than Menken's score. Was the music the poopy Peter Andre rendition of "Kiss the Girl"? Regardless of what the song was,...

I saw a bit of that film when it was on one Christmas. It bothered me.

I think he's kind of a wacko. I read an interview with him and Mike Barrier and basically he's like well almost everything that EVER came from Disney animation including most of what Walt did was crap. He's a hard core Bob Clampett/Chuck Jones guy. In his opinion if it's not ultra-ultra-ultra carto...

"Hoodwinked" proved that animation can make money at the box office, so long as you have a story that audiences will be interested in (Everyone knows the story of Little Red Riding Hood). "Doogal", on the other hand, proved that when audiences have *No idea in heck what the story is about*, they wo...

Oh, I'd forgotten about that from the commentary. It's been a few months now, of course, since I listened to that particular track. I think he may have been jealous that The Simpsons was getting constant glory, whilst the execs at Nickelodeon had him kicked out from his own show. And also, I don't m...

Does anyone find that films in the CG medium are beginning to look a bit needless now? There was a novelty in them a few years back, but now a lot are all looking like cookie cutter time fillers. I saw the trailer for Happy Feet a while ago, and I've gotta say that it looks somewhat pointless. I kno...

Wow. Meg is officially a psychic; she can predict how I will feel on classic Disney character cash ins.
