Thanks!!

That said, I hated the music in Pooh.

I thought it was merely descent. The songs were cute but forgetful. The only song I disliked was the end-credits one "So Long".

What?? But why?!

I liked the songs sung by Pooh, Owl etc. Especially "The Backson Song" and "Everything Is Honey". The songs by Zooey Deschanel I don't care that much for, perhaps because I find her a little irritating.

To get specific, I hated the Zooey Deschanel songs and the tummy growling...thing. The other songs were painless but pointless.

FYC ad for Cars 2:



Still don't think Cars 2 is getting an Animated Feature nomination.

I would prefer Kung Fu Panda 2 over Cars 2. I have not seen TinTin, Rango, or any of the other animated features.

Call me old fashioned but the character animation in Wrinkled looks terrible. I know it's the movie's style, but I find it very off putting. It's almost as if it wants to be a Chomet picture but is stuck with a TV-budget. Yuck.

I think that the animation and the design is quite descent. It is certainly better than the rest foreign animated movies this year competing for an Oscar nomination.

Once again the Globes are proven to be a total joke.

I was expecting, "Rango," to win, because despite its top critics, it has a clever story. Maybe next time in the Academy Awards.
