On Disney Movies

[mouradar]

As a kid born in the eighties, I was of course affected by the “Disney Renaissance” of the early nineties. You would be hard pressed to find someone in their twenties and early thirties who doesn’t think back fondly on those movies. The individual movies had their issues, no arguments there, but as a whole there really was something special going

I have to say I thought Tangled was a great movie. I enjoyed PatF too but I can see why people say it felt flat. I do agree that the music in both was sub-par (really, who ever thought Randy Newman was a good choice for anything? Broccoli could make better music) especially with one having a singer as it's title character's voice actor

If that's the reason they went with the name "Tangled" then that's ridiculous. Lots of little boys went and saw "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast." That's part of the reason they were so insanely successful. According to Wikipedia, the latter grossed 377 million dollars - and that was in 1991. There must have been little boys in those theaters.

Dude, I went to see the Muppet Movie the other day and had to endure a barrage of Disney previews. They were all painfully, painfully awful. Check this one out

A) Peter Dinklage is the coolest man on the planet.
B) There are actually two different Snow White movies coming out from two different studios. The other one is much darker and has Charlize Theron as the evil queen. I'm not saying it looks good but it does look better than the Julia Roberts one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THX2WRftK68&feature=youtube_gdata_player
C) How was The Muppet Movie?

I thought the Muppet Movie was cute. Not something to write home about, and not really something you need to see in the theater, but I've always loved the Muppets so it was cool to see them again, and the villain was truly fabulous!
