    What does a director do in an animated movie?

      What do you think that a director does in a live action movie?

        Give directions.  You there, walk to right!  Extras, to the left.

    I loved Brave. I really don’t get the mixed reviews.

    • blueelm

      Felt the same way. It’s a more subtle movie than I guess people want.

    I hated Brave.  It was just like every other recent Disney Princess movie.  ‘A strong -willed princess square peg is trying to be stuffed into a round hole by her parents.  A dangerous act of rebellion by the princess turns into reconciliation and a deeper understanding and appreciation between parents and child”  Awwww!!!!

       While a bit formulaic, what’s wrong with that?

      what? didn’t you just get it by the trailer? That’s exactly what the movie is about, with pluses. I recommend you watching it again, later. 

      But I mean, don’t go see a movie with a bunch of expectations. Enjoy it for what it is…

    I can’t wait for this film. My little one it chomping at the bit as well. Fun Fact – I’m a McKinley on my Mom’s Grandmas side, some how related to the president. Our tartan is – IMHO – a very attractive pattern. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mckinley/Tartan3.jpg

    One more thing – what’s weird about this film is it appears both the mother and father are alive. How many films do they have where one or the other is dead?

  • Brendan Hogan

    Hurrah!  BoingBoing and sound design, my two favorite things!  Fun Movie too.  I saw it at the Seattle International Film Festival.
