More on the fact that if ever a perfect time for a trailer now would be it,but…..not relevant anymore 🙂

It would be interesting to say the least if we didn’t receive a trailer tomorrow….here’s hoping

Got it.Although ATSV has a metacritic score of 86.

Across the spider verse

Ehrlich liked “the way of water”

Remember when during Pixar’s heyday they would swipe metacritic scores of 90 and plus….those were the good days.

Not to say I didn’t enjoy it for what it is but it definitely had more potential.

I think the main problem I have with the film is the dialogue, that’s what makes it feel like a simple childrens film. I’d say it’s the first WDAS film to feel like it was made for very small children in a very long time and what’s surprising is that people will be quick to put the blame on Jennifer lee who was the writer, but I’ve seen her work in wreck it Ralph and the first frozen and the dialogue in pivotal scenes felt authentic and real.(Think of “the party is over” scene in frozen as an example.)So perhaps something changed after frozen’s big success with small children, I don’t know.

This was actually better than I thought it would be.I found myself invested throughout, with all the emotional beats landing.Asha turned out to be a surprisingly likable character with some great character animation to go with her.(although not always did the character animation work with this new style on some of the other characters.)The background art turned out really well and some of the songs like “this wish” and “knowing what I know now” worked really well within the context of the plot. If I would have some criticism it would be that some of the dialogue was childish and a lot of the film is the characters going from point A to point B which started getting a little monotonous.So I definitely think it’s better than the reviews make it ought to be-although maybe it’s my inner Disney fan in me talking, but overall I’d recommend.I mean it does lack the sophistication of some other Disney films but if your in the right mindset it works,give it a try.

Always had nostalgia for Dinosaurs opening

(On the topic of Pocahontas.)Pocahontas meeting John smith is a brilliant scene showcasing great pacing and powerful character animation.I would bet that James Cameron was inspired by that scene with Netiri meeting jake in avatar.

Not surprised by the bad reviews.Film (unlike literature) has potential to be a medium that transcends age gaps in it’s ability to appeal,and that was the real legacy of Walt.It was his ability to take simple stories like Snow White and meat it up to be a rich cinematic experience,yes some might say now Snow White looks like a simple childrens film by today’s standards, but for its time it was a revolutionary film that pushed the limits of film period.Ultimately becoming the highest grossing film of its time,with many famous filmmakers pointing it out as a major cinematic influence.So when I look at wish I see something that in theory was meant to pay homage to films like Snow White but it lacks the boldness and ambition that those films achieved.It’s like their paying homage to the stereotype of Disney rather then what Walt’s films really stood for(I mean look at the artistry in Bambi,and fantasia etc.).Not to say the film doesn’t seem to have some good elements it’s just it looks like it lacks the boldness that Walt strived for with his top tier films.

This film has that creative spark one would generally associate with a pixar film, in that from the marketing as a casual movie goer you think your getting a fun little popcorn comedy film(which it still is.) but then the themes and heart creep up on you surprising you and actually making you think. Also don’t know if anyone made the comparison but It’s very much “the matrix” meets “enchanted” .

One of the best written action films period.

Elemental:A beautiful, sincere,and heartfelt film who’s personal origins can be felt in each frame.It really was a surprise,no wonder the good legs.
