I don't hate him like almost everyone else, but he just did connect with me. I found him to be a totally useless, uninteresting ill-conceived character. But I can easily tolerate him onscreen.

:D Welcome Wonderlicious! I, too, have a great love of Disney animation, though, admittedly, not of their most recent works (i.e. Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Home on the Range). I still love Disney, though. Glad to hear you're interested lately in viewing non-Disney animated films. I encourage yo...

The character design looks to me like a college CGI project. I am open to being pleasantly surprised but more than any other CGI film to date it looks like the producers simply said, "Hey, let's do something with computer animation!" I will freely admit I am basing my impressions on very little inf...

Looking forward to it? Yep. I almost worship Blue Sky's first film, "Ice Age". And it has Robin Williams for crying out loud! AND its supposed to have the final trailer for a little film called "Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith". In other words, I'll be going as soon as possible. The fin...

Ditto on all of the above! I love Animaniacs. Pinky and the Brain became a favorite of mine (and, eventually, my kids as well :D ) with the witty dialogue and outlandish plots. My favorite episode was the one where Brain becomes a stand-up comic by insulting the audience, who find what he says to be...

Glad you think so, too! I haven't heard nearly enough hype and/or buzz about this movie. I hope they don't undersell it. It looks like one of the really good ones. The story sounds really clever, too.

Just curious to know how interested people are in this movie. I think it looks incredible. I really want to see this. What about you?

I linked on to the latest Madagascar trailer and I continue to gain great interest in this film. All the clips I've seen thus far have been HILLARIOUS! I am particularly amused by the penguins: I enjoy their whole tough-guy, militaristic style. It's a hoot! The look is different from most other CG a...

Didn't know Seth McFarlane could be so controversial! :P :shock: Hey, GeorgeC, you got me thinking when you said this: "Family Guy hasn't aged well as far as I'm concerned and I doubt I'd buy any of that show on DVD at the rate things are going... American Guy failed its test for me out of the gate....

:o Wow! I guess we're on polar opposite ends when it comes to Family Guy! Kinda like Siskel and Ebert, only I'm not white or fat. Or bald. Yet. Well, a little. Thinning, actually :lol: I still say Family Guy is sharp and witty. Come on, you can't tell me Stewie (the baby) doesn't have just about the...

American Dad --- not too impressed by this (in fact, I was totally let down by it, truth be told) The humor isn't sharp like Family Guy. Characters didn't grab me at all; nobody you can feel sympathetic for or towards. Maybe subsequent episodes will be better, but it would need a major overhaul in t...

Oh. Well, for what it's worth, I happen to like both DreamWorks and Katzenberg, always have, ever since their inception. I think they make high quality films and are willing to take chances (Prince of Egypt, for example) and are also creatively innovative (Shrek). Not mention, I welcome more compani...

Am I missing something? Because I don't get the point of all that.
I know that you love DreamWorks and Katzenberg, but geez!
Did someone rip into him on one of these boards or something?

Really, why in the world would they need a $400 million dollar budget??
If animated films as technically advanced as Shrek 2, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, ect. didn't need budgets that large, why in the hell would a production of "Tommy" need one?!?

I've been to WDW more times than I can remember now and I concur: do your research. A good book to use is the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. I found that they give unbiased, untainted advice and opinions (best rides, worst rides, which to save for later, ect.) of all of them. Yes, start earl...
