Well, my day is going great, thank you very much. I've been watching my animated films all afternoon. I've got my big bottle of Dr. Pepper, a large bag of Cool Ranch Doritos, and I'm just watching DVD after DVD. When I described that as a fun way to spend a day, my American co-workers back in Kumagaya found it to be the most repulsive thing a man can do.
Anyway, I'm done the Disney animated films, and I'm moving onto Dreamworks this evening. I'll do full reviews later tonight, but here's what we've got so far:
Lilo & Stitch - I was surprised at how good this actually was. It's been a long time since I found genuine heart and soul in Disney animation. 3.5 Nibs.
Treasure Planet - Put this next to The Black Cauldron and Atlantis as a worthy attempt to make something a little more grown-up and action-oriented. I say "worthy attempt" because, like the first two, it still comes short of being something truly cool. Amazing animation, thought. 3 Nibs.
Brother Bear - I felt rather "meh" towards the whole thing. It was good, but.... Felt like we'd seen it all before. However, I did laugh my ass off whenever Tuke and Rutt (that is, the moose re-incarnations of Bob & Doug McKenzie) were on screen. I'm still hovering between 2.5 nibs and 3 nibs for a final rating.
And now, supper's on the stove!
Next Issue...DreamWorks
