You don't think that tight security will eventually come cracking down on expensive trains between two major tourist centres of the United States? There will no doubt be security issues with trains, but I seriously doubt they will ever be as anal as those for airplanes. What the "9/11 NEVER FO...

I just recently got a PS2, which was my first console game system since my good ol' Sega Genesis, and...you know...I think I can have more than enough fun with it for a long while :D (I decided to switch from a computer to a console for all games except simulators, since my trusty iBook G3 is alread...

Anyway, personally, I'm glad Disney has decided to change to CG films. Whether we like it or not, 3D films are in, 2D films aren't. Chicken Little was a really good movie, imho, however, it was basically Disney trying to go into a new format. It wasn't like they were saying this would be as good as...

Oh..Ha! Ha! Karushifa, please don't be shocked, but I used to think you were a male! I'm sorry. Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Katherine! :) (You give me the impression that you are a very sweet young woman!) Heheh, no problem there. I've posted to other boards using screennames AND avatars of f...

Name: Katherine Age: 24 Ethnicity: a mixture of Scotch-Irish, Black, and Cherokee Favorite TV Shows, Past And Present: MST3K, Taxi, NYPD Blue, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Mythbusters, A History of Britain (fascinating miniseries...I just flipped it on once and I couldn't stop watching), Modern M...

Okay...I'm a fan of Shakespeare and I think he deserves some props here. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I love all of his plays, far from it. Hamlet is the Elizabethan equivalent of an M. Night Shyamalan movie: slow, involved, and plodding at times, with the ultimate payoff at the end. I know some ...

Let me make this clear -- in terms of animation quality alone, Disney is the best, followed by Don Bluth (whom I really, really dislike, but that's for another discussion), with Les Armateurs Studios in France and Studio Ghibli in Japan lagging far behind. Dreamworks doesn't even come close, in my ...

But if you mean people who wholeheartedly (and sometimes blindly) enjoy whatever Disney churns out, I'm not one of them. I won't buy Cinderella II just because it's Disney. I definitely won't go around collecting all the Princess DVDs. I'll use my money on what I enjoy from Disney, not on whatever'...

And even if the current generation of animators can be tempted back, how long will they last? Who will in-between their work? They need proven support. It was my understanding that a good portion of the animation staff at WDFA right now had been doing 2D work and were re-trained to operate the CGI ...

This part of the article had me do a double-take: One of the industry's most prominent critics, "Fast Food Nation" author Eric Schlosser, said it would be "hugely significant" if Hollywood walked away from Happy Meals. "It will put more pressure on McDonald's to change what ...

Everytime I diss Finding Nemo Really. And you're not the only one...there could be a thread about existentialist deconstruction of the mad tea party in Alice in Wonderland, and somehow Nemo would find a way to get slandered. I mean, I'm not in the OMG FINDIGN NEEMO IS LIKE TOTALY TEH BEST MOVEE EVU...

That's not what I mean. I meant that someone with a unknown condition could still ride the G-Force version unawares, and still have a fatality. I was saying that it doesn't matter if there is a tamer version or not - if you ride the hardcore version, and you don't know you have a condition (as was ...

I also like the idea of a train as opposed to a plane - which takes less than an hour to get there anyway - as it gives one a sense of geography. You have a massive country over there, and one barely notices the passing of land while in a plane. Sure, you can watch the desert go by from the air to ...

~The Tragedy...er...Magic of Disney Animation at Disney-MGM Studios. The Animation Academy part is fun, and I wouldn't mind if they found a way to keep that (I LOVED doing that on my CP), but this is a complete disgrace. It's bad enough they closed the studio. They took away all of the other stuff ...

I don't remember exact names, but it appears that quite a few of the "traditional" animation people at Disney accepted to make the transition to 3D, so the people are still there, to some extent. I wonder if Glen Keane is still there...he did some combo CGI/2D work on John Silver in Treas...

If Dreamworks thinks they're in dire straits with home video profits now, just wait until they start releasing movies on Blu-Ray. They better hope those things sell like sno cones in a heat wave...maybe even more. As for poor old Wallace and Gromit...I think a good way to alleviate some of the so-so...

Well, I strongly disagree with your statement. I'm sorry, but I don't look for "showing-off" virtuosity when I watch animation. Treasure Planet has tons of that, and it just doesn't interest me. That's why I'm more fond of the subtlety of early Disney than the "flouncing pantomime&qu...

The only Disney movie that still effectivly scares me to this day is The Great Mouse Detective. From the beginning to the end, though it has become my favorite Disney movie, I still freak out all the way. The battle on Big Ben is particularly intense, especially the part where Ratigan corners Basil...

Chicken Little : Finding Nemo :: Star Wars : Star Trek . Thus continues the Great Battle of Our Time :P To call Disney's wholesale rejection of 2-D animation hasty is a huge understatement. What's peculiar about the rise and fall of CGI as a white hot medium is that I think that both 2D and 3D Disne...

Naturally, an article for a national mag such as EW is going to be written more towards the crowd that isn't as Disney-fluent as people here, so I think that at least in part explains the "rah rah rah" vibes. I'm guessing quite a few people out there are still scratching their heads over t...
