My son showed me the BnL website and I thought it was a riot! I remember saying to him in the theater that I bet Disney bought that web addy. Sure enough.

You know with Pixar you have to step back from reality. I mean look at any of their movies. Although my son turned to me a few times and said "That wouldn't be there still."

By the way, the roach ate twinkies obviously. Did you miss that part;) Which my son found amusing that a twinkie was ok to eat still!

I love their privacy statement - of course, now that I've read it, they own my soul

Peter Gabriel - reliably upbeat in my book, though the song didn't blow me away, it was a nice ending.

I could read the BnL website forever. I still can't believe this is related to Disney. How do they get away with it??

:D

Hysterical Stuff. Alas for Pixar's pocketbook ... the new way to support them is to avoid buying any related merchandise (though purchase of the actual films, music and other actual art product is still kosher, I suppose).

Socialist summer camps! Brilliant! :D

Peter Gabriel's done both songs and voice work for the Myst series (Burn You Up/Burn You Down is featured on Uru), which is produced by the company my sis works for- Cyan Worlds. Great guy. I love his voice.

I just got caught up on about a week's worth of WALL-E discussion. An few random replies:

In my opinion, animated films/shows/shorts/ etc. can get away with story details that are unrealistic. I learned early in life that moose don't walk upright and squirrels don't talk. I am a LOT more accepting of laternate realities with animation that I am with live action.

Favorite Pixar:

The Incredibles
Ratatouille
WALL-E
Monsters Inc
Findng Nemo (although the overkill at Disneyland has made me tired of the film)
Toy Story 2
Toy Story 1
Bugs Life

Least favorite: Cars. The more time passes, I find that I didn't like the film at all.


Has anyone seen it a second time? I'm sure there are many little details hidden in the film and I want to know what they are.

I saw Cars a second and third time and still don't really get what people like about it. It's kinda dull. Although, I do like Owen Wilson a lot.
