Your #15 - "Reviving Lucky" - has always stood out to me as particularly effective. What has been up to that point a fairly boisterous and chaotic movie suddenly comes almost to a stop, with nothing moving in the scene except Roger's hand rubbing the blanket, the clock ticking in the background...
Thanks Ernest for the reply - I hadn't realized your original project was so substantial! We'll look forward to your thoughts. Rob, Oliver & Co. is one of the few animated features from Disney that I really have trouble sitting through. And when I started this thread, I expected that one to...
In the thread for the review of the DVD of "Home on the Range", Ernest Rister wrote this (as part of his comments):
As a Disney animation fan, I was intrigued by this idea of the "montage of great moments" that Ernest put together. I was wondering: (1) Ernest - could you list these (or...
How sad. I'm a big Disney fan, and have been since childhood. Walt Disney was a visionary, a creator who developed an industry and accumulated a artistic staff that is arguably unrivaled. And all that accumulated creative genius of 50+ years is squandered; let to dribble away... How...
Finally had a chance to see this on Saturday, and agree with others here that the presentation seemed much lighter than I remember. It has been quite awhile since I saw this in the theater, and on VHS. But it did seem to me that the "beast in the shadows" affect was lessened by the fact we could...
Of the ones I have seen, Lion King II and Lady & Tramp II have come the closest to "Disney Quality" compared to the originals. Aladdin 3 was also close, due to Robin William's presence. Lady & Tramp II was hurt by a song sequence at the junk yard that did not fit the look and feel of the rest of...
I read somewhere that the original title for TND was "Tomorrow Never Lies" - meaning that the newspaper put out by the media mogul (called "Tomorrow") always had the facts. Of course, since the madman was creating his own news, it made it easier for him to have the "truth" in his paper...
My cousin is a rookie fireman in NY, and on 9/11 - and well into 9/12 - we had no word of him, and feared he was dead. We could only imagine what he was going through, based on the news reports and other interviews.
Last night we got a chance to see a bit of exactly what he went through... his...
The BIG plot hole in II - if I remember correctly - is that the future Tanner (old man) gets the book, goes back to the 50s to change the future, then returns to his FORMER present in order to get the car back to Doc & Marty, who are still in that future. Then, when D & M go back to the 80s...
This was actually the first Smallville that I tuned out of half-way through. There were a couple things that just turned me off to the direction the show is taking, and I lost interest in last night's show
- Just how powerful is kryptonite anyway? At first I was intrigued by the use of the...
