Just wondering why #4 was removed. That was a real line from the movie, about how villians sometimes aren't make-believe, but are really out to get you. I thought instantly of al-queda, et. al., and I think most of the theater did, too.

Our audience let out a gasp, like someone had finally spoken what everyone was already thinking. Bravo!!

Saw it last night...totally dug it.

Kids movies...not so sure. There were a good amount of obvious cartoon deaths. Some suggested sex between the MR and MRS Incredible...suicide thang...actually when the dude jumped my first thought was 'Hmm, how would I explain that to my boy? Surely he'd ask..'. Of course my boy is only one year old...

Anyways...it was nice to see a movie that didn't have a anti - God , pro-commie, liberal POV.

I was upset that the movie ended :)

For the record: I thought the cartoon was cute.

My daughter, with all of the wisdom that she has acquired in her 13 years, told me that she didn't think it was appropriate for younger children. I haven't seen it myself. My daughter went with her friends. If you'd like more specific information, I will ask her about it when she gets home from school and send you an email.

A movie Ronald Reagan would have loved.

EXACTLY! Great Call!

The Incredibles was great (Pixar movie). I truly enjoyed it. Lots of audience laughter - been a long time since I've heard that.

The last Disney animation (Home on the Range) was short in duration, predictable, full of bathroom humor and used the grating voice of Rosanne Barr. I felt like I had been ripped off. Disney animation is dead.

I thought the previews for Cars looked good, myself. Realistic NASCAR stuff.

Perhaps PIXAR will start a theme park. I hope so - I like the service that Disney once provided, but I think Disney has lost touch with America and has ran out of ideas.

Haven't seen this movie,

Do. It's well worth it.

Edna, darling...

I don't think Daredevel and Hulk left people wishing for whimsy. Those are very dark heroes, especially Daredevil, some heroes are 4 colors and a simle, some aren't. I like Incredibles, it was really good at being what it was, I liked Daredevil inspite of Ben, it too was really good at being what it was. I hated Hulk because it stank, it wasn't good at being anything.

I thought XMen 2 was also superior in droves to X 1

Watch them back-to-back as a double feature -- it's really one movie in two parts. Part one exists almost entirely to set up part two.

Yeah, but dude... the second one SUCKED.

Saw it yesterday with my boys (5, 9, 18). We all thought it totally rocked. And Dash' delighted chuckle when he saw he was running on water tickled me, too. There was so much to love about it, as a conservative, a father, a family man....

I'd be scared to be a Pixar CEO today. I mean, EVERY TIME they've knocked it out of the park. Statistically and accordig to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, they just have to whiff one, sometime; and then everyone will lament the ruiation of Pixar.

But, as Buzz Lightyear might say, "NOT TODAY!"

this is a great movie
some other surprisingly good ones ADULTS can love too are:
Shrek (1 &2)
Atlantis <~~~~incredible movie~!
Treasure Planet
the emperors' new groove <~~~ ALSO incredible
Ice Age
Toy story (1&20
Monsters Inc

if you have watched all the trash from hollywood that you think you can stand try any one of these 'cartoons'

[Guenevere]

#60..I agree, but I didn't even check the rating...(my small chilren are grown)...because I just assumed with Pixar......

..anyway, my grown son who is a 3D character artist, says he was surprised parents didn't realize it was PG.

After all Pixar did bring us Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Monsters, Inc.

[discostu]

I think Cars will be their obligatory flop, that just looked lame, like a Chevron commercial only duller.

[bigjoesaddle]

One of the things I noticed is that people actually die. Not only do they refer to the long list of dead superheroes, but the henchmen don't jump out at the last minute.

I noticed that too.

My 8 yo an I saw it Sat., it is the best animated movie I have ever seen.

[bigjoesaddle]

Well, yeah. It's not G rated. It's PG. You'd be irresponsible to bring a small child to this movie.

Any YOU'D be an ass for telling someone how to raise their kids. Very LIBERAL of you to do so.

If you'd like more specific information, I will ask her about it when she gets home from school and send you an email.

Thanks. I'd appreciate it.

Atlantis completely ripped off "Stargate" and the animation wasn't very good. "Treasure Planet" didn't live up to its hype. Other than that, I'd second your list. Especially "Emperor's New Groove".

Where's the spoiler alert? A couple of paragraphs in, I had had half my potential enjoyment robbed, and had to stop reading further. Bozell obviously hates movies (or hates moviegoers), or he would have written in such a way as to skirt around as many particulars as possible, not reveal everything possible in advance. The movie just opened, for crying out loud!

[BibChr]

It did look lame. But I wasn't so sure about Finding Nemo, before I saw it, so....
