Dissing and hating a film based off a predisposed bias? Now that doesn't sound cool at all.
Yeesh, you weren't kidding. Tell us how you really feel!Yeah. About that. I saw "Frozen" last weekend too. I just forgot to mention it. Wonder why? Anyhoo, my review is in the "Your Review of Frozen" thread. If you'd care to read it. But be warned:
SPOILERS
I pretty much rip it a new one.
your review sounded not to different from your thoughts on the film a couple months ago, like I said you went in wanting to hate this film and well you went the whole way nit picking for whatever you thought was a critique. But thankfully your words don't have any affect on its critical and commercial success (Which by the way it is receiving both wonderfullyYeah. About that. I saw "Frozen" last weekend too.

) so at the end of the day it isn't doing anything to hurt the soon to be Disney classic that is Frozen! I liked your thoughts on get a horse though! As always its been a pleasure Panther!
Walt was both.

I wasted 12 bucks to give it a chance. Okay? And as to the film's success - I take it you liked the booger joke? Well, I guess Diz has found its new audience. And of course it didn't hurt that there are no other family films out right now, and it's a cartoon with snow in it at Christmas. Disney's marketing department timed it just right. And good for them! I'm glad it's a success. I just wish it wasn't a pandering polemic to political correctness. I suppose, given that, it's amazing that it's as entertaining as it is.
I mean you have a pretty good track record when it comes down to it...And if you think kung fu panda was anywhere near better in terms of animation, entertainment, or anything else then well I don't think your case became that believable. Also the booger joke had a disclaimer for folks that easily get offended! It was in the creditsYeah, sure, I was biased, that's why I didn't like the film. I wasted 12 bucks so I could hate it. Right.
Oh, I might just go back anyway.
Just to add a few thoughts: The period touches bring BOTH eras alive wonderfully, and I laughed out loud at several points. (I laughed harder at this movie than at anything in Anchorman 2, which I saw right after. That's both a credit to this script and a reflection of the bland writing in the Anchorman sequel, but I digress.)
My favorite line in the whole film is Travers' quip directed at Mickey. I won't spoil the line, but it's so...British, and fairly subversive for something in an actual Disney movie!
Hanks as Walt I struggled with a bit. I don't think it's Hanks' fault so much as that playing a face on Mt. Rushmore is just an inherent challenge. I thought he did an admirable job with the vocal inflections and mannerisms, but the character only really came alive to me in his conversation with Travers near the end of the movie.
