Emperor's New Groove is awesome. Another favorite of mine is the Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. It's kind of a tradtion for me to watch it around Halloween. Mr. Toad inspired an awesome ride at the Disneyland, it's gone at Walt Disney World. It's got a good energy to it.As for Ichabod, based on the Headless Horseman story, for something made in 1949, it's still pretty creepy.

I watched it last halloween, and its awesome. Both stories are really great

I really want to buy it, but I didn't found it yet in this Disney promotion. I also want Toy Story 2. Already bought 1 and 3...

I have just about every Disney animated film, some I haven't gotten around to yet, Tangled, PATF. And some like Home on the Range and Brother Bear, I just didn't like enough to buy.I thought of two more underrated films, Atlantis and Treasure Planet. I really liked those films and appreciated Disney trying to do something different.

Bullish box-office observers believe the reboot starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone could even earn in the low-$30 million range for the day based on early returns.

Estimates for Spider-Man's six-day opening vary, with Sony projecting a conservative debut in the $110 million to $120 million range. Based on Tuesday's business, others believe it open between $120 million and $140 million.

What's this from? I said the other day that 30m OD was the success/fail line.

Sony tried to say SM3 made the same at Midnight? Nice try... :rolleyes:The only way I'd believe that is if they owned up to LYING the first time. ;)

It gets worse. They tried to say Pirates 2 made the same at midnight as well. They tried to change the numbers of another studio's movie.

TUESDAY 9 AM: I’ve just learned that Sony Pictures’ The Amazing Spider-Man opened with $7.5 million in midnight showings from 3,150 theaters, which is the same result as such blockbuster films as Iron Man 2, Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, and even Spider-Man 3 (playing in only 3,031 venues). “We’re right up there with big boys, giving us a great hand-off,” a Sonyexecutive tells me.

Source: http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/

And after that, it was transformed to this:

The Amazing Spider-Man earned an estimated $7.5 million from midnight shows last night. Among comic book movies, that's much lower than The Avengers ($18.7 million) and The Dark Knight, but about on par with Iron Man 2 ($7.5 million). Sony is also reporting that the figure is identical to Spider-Man 3's midnight haul from the first weekend of May 2007. IMAX showings at 300 locations accounted for $1.2 million, or 16 percent of the gross. (bolded by me)

Source: http://boxofficemojo...?id=3478&p=.htm

At first I thought it could've been advance screenings besides the midnight screening, because the single report that we have of 2007 never mention midnight numbers, only that Friday made $49m, leading me to believe that it could be more than the midnight screening for this $10m when it comes to the $49m, but now I think that what Nikki reported is been taken too seriously:

"Right with the big boys" IMO means that they are in the same ballpark, which isn't that wrong. But hey, let's crucify Sony in flames for the damned reboot. I was just trying to give Sony the benefit of the doubt, and out of sudden I'm defending Sony's lies.

That's OK, I'll never forgive them for having two Spider-Man origin films yet still no better than a 75% reverent adaption of it, so anything else they do or say doesn't really bother or surprise me. While I was disappointed in seeing another origin adaption, the rest of the film was damn good, and Garfield blew Maguire out of the water in a lot of ways, IMO.
