Sony Animation’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2” has taken the #1 spot in the US/Canada weekend box office with a gross of $35 million! I really loved the first movie and from the trailer, this one seemed so creative, mainly due to the designs, idea, and the plethora of food puns! I haven’t seen it yet, but I definitely plan to!
Have you seen it? What did you think? If you haven’t, do you plan on seeing it?
Wow, 50 films in 71 years! I wonder if Walt Disney himself thought that his films would endure and be loved for this long.
As for the 50th film, you’d think that we’d get a good movie since it’s an important milestone…and you’d be thinking correctly. We get a very good movie entitled, “Tangled”. Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #50: Greno the Thug”
We’ve FINALLY gotten a full-length theatrical trailer for Disney’s upcoming animated film to be added to their canon, “Frozen”. Yes, we had a teaser trailer before, but it didn’t show anything about the plot. So what do you all think about the trailer? And what do you think about the movie now that you’ve seen the trailer?
Personally, I’m not extremely impressed. It seems that much of the film is focusing on the journey taken by the characters Anna and Kristoff more than the actual plot and goings-on in the film. Then again, that’s just how it SEEMS to me.
I also am not sure what to think of Kristen Bell’s voice acting as Anna. And I’m really disappointed that we couldn’t hear Idina Menzel’s voice nor hear her sing one of the many songs in the trailer.
All in all, I’m skeptical about whether this film will be a hit or not. Nevertheless, I will DEFINITELY try to see it!
Note to self: Use Olaf’s “Worth Melting For” line on future wife; maybe she’ll like it.
When Disney announced that “Home on the Range” would be the last traditionally animated Disney Canon film, we were all horrified beyond belief!
Then after the acquisition of Pixar (and other factors), Disney decided to create another traditionally animated Disney Canon film and we were all ecstatic with immeasurable glee!
That film is none other than Disney’s 49th animated feature, “The Princess and the Frog”. Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #49: The Reverend”
Well, it’s been a while since I did a “My Thoughts” and just look at the movie that I chose to resume with!
As you may or may not know, “Epic” was probably my LEAST anticipated movie of the year! It was made by Blue Sky Studios, which is an animation company that I’m not fond of; it featured a plethora of celebrity voice actors, which is an animation technique that I’m not fond of; and it just seemed like such a familiar story!
So, I finally saw the film and what did I think? Well, let’s talk about the film first. Continue reading “My Thoughts: EPIC (2013)”
We arrive at Disney’s 48th animated feature, “Bolt”. Released in 2008, the film was a bit of a hit and received much critical praise as well as positive reviews. And according to some people, this film was the start of a new age of Disney animation’s resurgence, a sort of “second Disney Renaissance”, if you will. The animation of this film and the future ones would improve dramatically from what the past films have been as would the quality of the films themselves. And this is a film that I myself quite enjoy! Yet, I have to admit that I consider this movie to be the most FORGETTABLE movie in the Disney Canon!
I still like it, but I really forget much of what happens in this movie after I see it, it’s right up there with “Dinosaur” in terms of “forgettability”! So what’s the story? Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #48: Rhino’s Owner”
Well, readers, I’ve updated the indexes at the top of the page. There now exists a page where all my “Top 13” lists are alphabetically indexed, as well as a page linking to my other blog, “My Live Action Disney Project”. Enjoy!
Hey readers,
Just wanted to point out that I’ve, in the past week or so, put up a new page entitled “My Thoughts Index” (You can find the button at the top of the page). Basically it’s an alphabetical index of all the animated films that I’ve done a “My Thoughts” on. Hopefully, this will provide for easier searching for past reviews and a more organized site.
I also have the “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters Index” button at the top of the page, in case you’ve never noticed it before. There you can find all the movies of the Disney Canon in chronological order as well as find my forgotten/minor character posts that I’ve done for each film till date for my project.
Hope this helps keep things more organized!
We are at the 47th film in the animated Disney Canon, “Meet the Robinsons”. Released in 2007, the film wasn’t a huge mega-hit, and I guess it wasn’t really an embarrassing flop either. But in terms of Disney Canon quality, many people put this one pretty low on the list! And…yeah, it’s definitely no masterpiece, but I really enjoy this movie! Maybe, it’s the family element, maybe it’s the time travel element, maybe it’s the overall fun, I dunno!
Oh, let me talk about the film for those of you who haven’t seen it or have no idea what I’m talking about. Continue reading “Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #47: The College Professor”
