I guess it's all good until we get a director whose "vision" is to give the focus puller the day off and let his 3-year-old play with yanking the lens back and forth while he's shooting. Unless it's in a parody or otherwise having fun...

I can't dispute what sort of story one person find compelling and another does not. But Jesse's point is correct in that the storytelling style of Disney in the Sleeping Beauty/Snow White era could hardly be more different than Pixar's...

Some of our regular DVD's look spectacular on our Panny plasma and Panny BD30 Blu-Ray player. Those DVD's looked very good with the old DVD player and 36" Sony CRT as well. The DVD of North by Northwest for instance looks as good as...

By "older Disney films" do you mean Snow White or are we talking about The Aristocats?

The TV advertisements are billing Wall-E as being "From the Studio That Brought You Finding Nemo and Cars..." Are they kidding me? Cars? I guess the ad-writers think Brad Bird is chopped liver and The Incredibles isn't worth...
