To be fair though, it sounds like she actually made Travers more likable than she even was in real life (at least concerning the development of Poppins). If you read about it online you can see that she pretty much hated everything about the movie until the day she died, even stipulating in her will that Disney could never have the Poppins rights again. She walked up to Disney on the red carpet of the premiere and demanded the animated sequence be taken out. That's just the kind of person it seems she was. Basically she needed the money or else no one would have ever gotten their hands on the movie rights. Reading about her, it sounded like she was very possessive of her writing and didn't want it in the hands of anyone else, not just Disney's.
I just said I don't understand the appeal outside that demo, not that it's not there. It apparently is.
And I'll continue to be the resident hater for it here since someone always has to be for a movie.
Yeah in truth I don't even hate it (gave it a C+) I just think it's been terribly overrated. I really don't understand the appeal outside of young girls.
The audience had no real connection to Jessie's human owner (who's name I literally can't remember). Andy and the toys on the other hand push an altogether infinitely stronger emotional button.
TS3 is chock full of the best scenes from Pixar. The opening train sequence, the You've Got a Friend in Me time capsule scene, the daycare breakout scene, the Daisy/Lotso scenes, the furnace scene, the ending...
If Nikki's projections are right (which is always a big if) then DOS dropped nearly identical to AUJ in its second weekend. Good, though I was honestly hoping for a bit better hold than AUJ.
