Boring? You do know it won academy awards right?

Have you seen it? Yes, it’s boring. Nothing happens. The live action scenes are terribly written and amateurish. And, yeah, I do know my Disney history. I’m glad Mr. Baskett got the special Oscar, but the movie as a whole is dull and a chore to sit through. It’s Sominex in film form.

i have seen it. bootleg copy. and found it rather enjoying even though it is very racists.

It’s all relative. The animated sequences in SotS are fantastic and worth sitting through the “boring parts”.

For Best Song and a special honorary award for acting, not for its story.

I said it won oscars. Category does not matter. "Boring" is his opinion it does not change the fact it is an award wining film.

You brought up the Awards in direct response to the claim that it is boring. The Awards are completely irrelevant to whether or not the movie is boring. You might as well state some other random facts in response as well.

Yes I did to point out no matter his opinion it is an award winning film despite his bias. I know the point I made I don't need you to repeat it or defend it to you so please stop replying to me.

You're not forced to respond to people. They wouldn't have responded again had you not responded.

The film winning an award has nothing to do with the opinion that it is boring. There is no correlation. This is the point that was being made.

Says the lady who thinks its odd for a guest to swing or stomp on a suspended rope bridge when that is the purpose of the bridge.

Another irrelevant point.

I was disappointed that this wasn't in the Extras section for the Parent Trap on Disney+. Blew my mind when I was younger to find out that both twins were both played by Haley Mills!:

Extra selection on Disney+ so far seems to be poor compared to the bonus features for the respective movies on DVD/Bluray. Not sure why so far only Marvel movies have audio commentaries when many Disney movies and all Pixar movies have had audio commentaries in the past.

I thought Lindsay Lohan was a twin.

Who said that? Not sure which lady you’re talking about.

Still irrelevant though, so...

IASW Holiday is better than its ever been this year. Feels like they added a lot more life to the attraction with more props and archways in addition to all the new scents.

Yep, I was blown away. I couldn't remember it being that good, and wasn't sure if they had added stuff or not.

My son's company got to setup for the cast member 5k run this weekend. He had a great time setting up the balloons and decorations at each mile marker. He had fun running around Cars Land and Main Street early in the morning after the park was closed.

It was really great. IASW Holiday is a shot of joy. It’s much more enjoyable then it’s non holiday counterpart.

It's everything an overlay should be. It actually builds upon the themes of the original attraction to create an even better experience.

Have you ever watched a film where the ending caught you by surprise and made you cry buckets? Netflix’s new animated feature “Klaus” is one of those, and it’s fantastic. It’s one of the most beautiful animated films I’ve ever seen, making CGI animation look hand-drawn but with texture and lighting effects taken to a new level.

It’s not for everyone; it’s dark and quirky and not at all the “Santa Claus is coming to Town” reboot Netflix was making it seem to be. It’s a film more in the realm of Laika, Aardman, and The Book of Life. Not all the jokes work, the Postman main character is a selfish jerk through the first half and Mr. Klaus doesn’t appear until 25 minutes in. But there’s a lot of great comedy, unexpectedly powerful heartache, fantastic character animation and some of the most stunningly beautiful scenes ever put on film.

The last five minutes are worth the whole deal. I did not expect the ending, and it left me gushing tears to the point where I literally could not read the closing credits. It was like Studio Ghibli-at-its-best great. Seriously, if you find the film’s initial dark tone off-putting, at least skip to the last five minutes and catch the wonderful bittersweet ending.

Oh, and attention classic EPCOT fans: the opening scenes feature a great Drill Sgt. character who seems to be a direct tribute to General Knowledge.
