Nope, I gave POTCII another shot recently. It's complete crap.

BoxOffice RecordBreaking Crap.

It's been pretty much substantiated (as far as industry rumors go) that This Film is Not Yet Rated is at least partially responsible for the MPAA's recent overhaul of the ratings appeal system. Matter of fact, reps of the MPAA are at Sundance this week to meet with Indie filmmakers in crafting the details of the appeals process. New rules include the ability to reference previous films in making a case for a ratings change on a new film. (i.e., to paraphrase mousepod, if Dumbo can get a G Rating with a drunk-induced psychedelic episode, why am I stuck with an R?)

GD and CP - - my fave Dreamworks animated movie is, I believe, their first ... Antz. I highly recommend it. (Warning: the ants are anthropomorphized out of all proportion).

Also, I'd have thought the two of you would surely have seen The Prince of Egypt. Tsk, tsk ... bad jews.

I don't have a problem with anthropomorphizing, I just thought that the turtle was more anthropomorhpized than the rest of the characters, so he stuck out like a sore thumb. He had a butt, for crying out loud. A human-style butt (when his shell was off). Even though a rather important plot/character point was all about his tail tingling, without his shell on he had two cheeks and a crack.

But the rest of the movie was more than good enough to make up for that one shortcoming.
