You don't think that Pixar, in assembling its first film of the post-Disney era, would have had the ability and/or desire to employ a little metaphor in their choice of topics? Consider also the swipe at motion-capture animation in the original theatrical release: “Our Quality Assurance Guaratee: 10...

Now that the DVD is out and I have more of a chance to digest the film, it seems to me that the whole story of Ratatouille, from start to finish, is a grand metaphor for Pixar's own self-image within the animation industry, as they related to the Walt Disney Company (before Disney bought them, of co...

Well, sitting through three hours of a premise one dislikes will accentuate one's perceptions of the negative... The positives (after a good night's sleep): The CGI was incredible, as always. (The visual spectacle makes the movies worth the price of admission.) There were a number of big laughs from...

Finally got to see AWE, and speaking as an avid lover of the first two movies, I really did not like this movie. Spoilers (heavy criticism) This was the "Return of the Jedi" of the series (and ROTJ was terrible). You had a protracted rescue (Han Solo), a female protagonist showing more ski...

Will we be getting a Nemo remake and reopening of our 20,000 Leagues area over here in Florida, or is this strictly a Disneyland thing?

I think that when you go to see a movie like Shrek you have to remember that it is from a totally different studio, and a totally different style of animation, and the senses of humor are farther out there than the family-safe environment of Disney. Except that DreamWorks is notorious for its open ...

I saw Shrek the Third on Friday, and without a doubt it is the "Return of the Jedi" of the trilogy. It is visually stunning, but relies too much on material from the first two movies. But the biggest problem with Shrek III is its tireless Disney-jabbing. Whereas the first two Shreks had st...

Why is "The China Shop" listed as "From the Vault"?

(I've watched it several times, and I can't figure out where the offensive material is.)

But what the above bare-bones outline really doesn't do is reveal how sweet & smart this Barry Sonnenfeld production is. How cleverly it takes those fairy tale conventions that we've seen in Disney's "Snow White," "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" and then reuses ...

Anyone who owns Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Black & White V1 or 2 knows that this style of drawing Mickey cannot be any earlier than 1931 or so (around the "Pioneer Days" timeframe).

YEAH!!! IM NOT CRAZY!!! So, I took my DVD set back to Best Buy today and told them the story. They let me exchange it for a new 2-Disc set. I brought it home, popped it into the DVD player and whalah- the missing scene! Turns out my original set was majorly defective and was skipping over the entir...

The "next wave" thread quotes an email from Leonard Maltin that the Treasures series has been discontinued.

Is there any way of verifying this through another source, somehow?

Is there any chance of the cut short (about the feuding hillbillies) from "Make Mine Music" being released in a "Rarities 2"?

Any speculation on how the "censored" material will be treated?

(Each wave has demonstrated successively increased levels mandatory-view disclaimers.)

It would be nice to be able to watch the shorts without the preaching.
