Ratatouille is always hailed as a fan favorite for the adults, great voice acting, writing... cast of voice actors. You understand.
Yet, as far as the 5, yes good god 5 little boys under the age of 8, that I took, none of them were truly thrilled about the movie. Some even said they did not like it at all.
However when i previously took 3 of the 5 boys to go see Cars, they flipped the freaking hell out. I heard movie quotes of the red-neck guy, how cool the red car was (I forgot his name) and so on the following weeks. Not only did they enjoy the movie but we immediately went to the (insanely overpriced) Disney shop in the mall and bought Cars, erm, cars.
Jump shifts to recently, my husband and I took my little brother and one of his friends to go see Wall*E. (My personal favorite) I guess only after the movie was over and i was in the bathroom reapplying the make up i cried off during the film, that i saw how bored the two kids were for 1/2 the movie. I mean, the first 20 mins of the movie had no dialog what so ever. Again, i love this movie like no one's business, but did anyone who planed this at Pixar have kids under the age on 10 at the time? I suddenly got disappointed at my brother for not enjoying this movie, to which my husband responded, "when we were kids we never had great taste in movies, just let them enjoy what kids enjoy."
A few weeks later we saw the Panda movie and sure enough he was enrolled in the local karate classes the flowing week.
Don't get me wrong, Pixar is amazing, but I guess after that experience I realized how hard they are trying to turn kids movies in something they are not. I hope they don't move Marvle in that direction. I enjoy movies like the Incredibles where it had something for both parent and child... but when it comes down to one side being too heavy than the other, i would rather Pixar move towards the kids side. It is a kids movie after all.
I think the sweet spot for Wall-E is kids under 7 and adults over 20.
I have not met a toddler who didn't love Wall-E and Eve.

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
Disney buying Marvel? That is not going to end well. Both Disney and Marvel have activist Shareholders. With shareholder that view their share as more then a investment, but as a cultural thing.

The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
I just noticed in the Japaneses Be prepared, they weren't fully supported by disney. Mainly because they were just given the background music, but any actual sound effects that were in the original aren't there.
I once took a man to a graveyard.
I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough
Just livin with the stuff I have learned.
I worked on a reservation
Who would believe
They would love me and leave
On a bus back to old Santa Fe?
Once in an Indian nation
I took the kids on the skids with a Hopi
Who was happy to lie there and say
"You're worthless."
This shit is downright twisted for a kids' movie.
Have you seen the movie? Damned thing gave me nightmares as a kid.
I couldn't look at my air conditioner for months.
Try throwing away a broken appliance? Not gonna happen.
The back room of the appliance repair shop scene still creeps me out.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure The Brave Little Toaster is a primary cause of me being a pack rat.

I mean if you made those cars human then you know what you'd get in this scene?
People putting razors to their wrists or putting guns to their heads or popping bottles of sleeping pills while singing about all the horrible things that have happened to them and how they're glad that they're going to die.

It'd be like Requiem For a Dream: The Musical.
holy god, that's exactly what it is. jesus Christ, I'll never be able to enjoy that movie the same way ever again.
I just keep thinking of them slowly sinking in the mud pit with Radio on the top, and that image keeps cutting to jared leto with his arm amputated.
Oh God, Blanket is Jennifer Connelly.
Fuck me, Rust, that movie was disturbing enough as it is.

If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.
I'm glad you're entertained, because the realization has shattered my childhood, and the two movies are just blending together. I keep hearing the broken Air Conditioner from the beginning of the movie going "Ass..to Ass!"

Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas movie, and my favorite Disney Musical. The duet with Scrooge and his fiance in past, is so beautiful and heartbreaking. Michael Caine is my favorite Scrooge not named McDuck.

Me too That may just be because I have a bizarre love of muppets though.

I need to rectify this when the Princess and the Frog comes out. That villain looks fantastic.
It sounds okay. I like the twist on the old premise. I'll wait to see it until the songs leak on Youtube though.
I mean, this too.
Hm.
I wonder if this poses problems for the Marvel stuff at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.

Kill The Beast is fantastic. Certainly got me pumped for orgo finals. :^: Of course I think the beast killed me in that case
I love Gaston though. It's the song that taught me what expactorating meant!
Rattigan in particular was one of the more ruthless Disney villains.
I love using the word 'nefarious' because of that movie. :P
Hell fire

I really can't believe that song made it into a Disney movie.
Song starts at 0:57
Sure it's not animated but it's Disney... Sort of.
Had some nice songs imo.

that is simultaneously the most upbeat and depressing song ever.

She's horribly ashamed of it.
Why?
It does recycle a bit.
Probably because she's the last person I would have ever expected to work on that kind of project.
Ten bucks she just did it for the paycheck and buried that skeleton far, far away in her closet.
that was like playing a bad lucasarts adventure game
holy shit I just realized he voiced the Transcendent One in Planescape: Torment.
Awesome.
He's also the narrator for each race's intro in World of Warcraft.
