I have a question for you, Animan. To many of us "white guys" it always appears that the minority groups like NAACP want to segrgate themselves from all other groups because they're always the first to slap these PC names on themselves instead of medling with everyone else. Does it seem that way to...

But didn't you think it very clever how the robot "learned" that the wristbands were controlling it? That was very slick.8) What I so liked about the last battle scene is that it was the family's chance to shine. They had, in essence, been tested on the island and now it was time do or die. Especial...

Yes, the sexual allegations against Cosby were proven false so the woman is filing a civil suit instead. It's clear that she only did this because of Cosby's statements about the black community in the US. Now if he were white and said those hings he'd be deemed racist, since he's bllack they have ...

Well, ya know, it's still just an awards show. A big awards show, but still just an awards show. I don't think it has very much significance in the average person's life whatsoever. I could care less if their ratings were through the roof or in the cellar. If there is a movie or an actor or actress ...

Re: Dinosours/Family Guy similarities

Does anyone remember that show from the early '90's? Dinosours--Jim Henson's creations, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I think it was a Disney show. (and on ABC, but before Disney bought ABC.) I was just thinking, that show is like, REALLY similar to Family Guy in some ways. Small, obnoxious ba...

I agree, the vast majority of anime that I see is dull, bland, boring, repetitive and mass produced crapola. But that doesn't change that fact that there are still good animators out there and there will continue to be. The reason I hold out so much hope for traditional animation is that as long as ...

The ending was essential to wrapping up the story: the family, united together, against the enemy. Again, its really an homage to all super-heros, of film and the comics. It's the classic good versus evil battle. It HAD to be there, and it needed to be LOUD. :roll: Really, what would have been a bet...

Everyone blames Disney for not making 2D Feature films, but other studios, such as Dreamworks and Pixar, are equally at fault. Yes, Pixar...almighty Pixar. Do you see them making a traditional animation department? No, and not because 'they haven't made the right story,' it's because they too know ...

Damn, why do so many of you go on the defensive against Pixar? I guess it easier to go after whoever is successful at the time :roll: Look, it's like I said. Disney will come around again, and I know you will see them do traditional animation again. But saying Pixar is partly to blame for the allege...

[quote="CaptainJasHook"] " Yes, the director makes the final decisions, but did she say "one song is enough"? No! She is creating buzz." Uh, huh. So she should say one song is enough. Why?

ANY "greatest" list that could include Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels on it cannot be even remotely taken seriously. :roll:

I have lost all respect I had for Beyonce - but she is a fighter, I will give her that much. She wanted to sing everything this year. She wants buzz to star in the upcoming DREAMGIRLS film, so she publicly shows off her vocal talents. "See - I can do it! Cast me!" Honey, if you're that good, you wi...

Traditional 2D animation is not dead, nor will it ever be. Sure, Disney is closing up their traditional animation division, but let's not forget, Disney is not the only show in town. Even if all the big U.S. studios back away from traditional animation, many of the other countries out there, like Ja...

Re: Incredible

Thanks Ben, and I agree with a lot of the things you said as well! I loved the film, but I did have my problems with it. The ending is a bit of a cop-out, turning into meaningless "sound and fury." Little problems here and there, but overall it's an incredible achievement. And I think Toy Story 2 a...
