movies at la casa de mousepod

[mousepod]

OK. Let me be the first to post the sad truth that the movie was not so good. While a few of us liked bits and pieces of it, we all agreed that for the most part it was a mess. The animation was pretty and at times beautiful, as evidenced by the trailer, and the music had its moments, but from a narrative perspective - blah. To say that there were plot holes would be an understatement. To paraphrase Heather, it was as if they took a long book and randomly selected a few pages from several chapters and animated them, without any explanation of how they were linked. I sure wish there had been a Le Guin fan among the group last night to explain what the heck was going on.

On the other hand - I was delighted (as always) by the folks who turned up. Other than the film itself, it was a fun night filled with great conversation, interesting sodas and lots of "coming attractions." Expect another mousepod movie night in a couple of weeks.

I didn't care for the movie. But there was some amazing animation here and there in this flick. The backgrounds and reflections were standouts.

Last night was great fun. It was my first time at casa de mousepod y Heather. Also, meeting the doggies was nice... even though Jack didn't care for my dancing.


Thanks for the wonderful evening.
