Definitely The Beast. One of the best character designs in Disney history. Not too scary. Not too over-the-top. Just a perfect-looking character, who could be frightening and sympathetic even at the same time. What a talent Eric Goldberg possesses.

All three Toy Story films in the top 5. Expected yet deserved. Can't they just combine all three into one? Beauty and the Beast at no. 28 and The Lion King at no. 40? Can't agree with that. Is this list really saying that the likes of Antz (no. 25), Chicken Run (no. 23), and Kiki's Delivery Service ...

Doesn't Pete Docter have a Pixar animated film coming out in two years? Hope so. Although I love animated shorts, Pete is simply too talented not to be directing feature-length films!

Lady and the Tramp - wouldn't it have made more a bit more sense to actually go through with it and kill Trusty at the end of that film? He wasn't one of the two essential characters, and it would have been a nice gesture had he sacrificed his life by trying to right a wrong (freeing the innocent Tr...

They deserve the criticism they get. But so does current Nickelodeon. Really, the best network right now in terms of quality children/young adult content is Cartoon Network (Adventure Time, Regular Show, the new Looney Tunes series, The Clone Wars, etc.) Disney Channel peaked in the mid-90s, and had...

Pretty much the entire Pocahontas script. Flynn Rider has quite a few, but I still think that character works at the end of the day (although not as strongly as Naveen, who had that funny and charming accent going for him, which made lines twice as funny on delivery). Don't notice any from Aladdin, ...

Hosted by Walter is NOT a bad idea. I've heard some people complain that Walter didn't seem worthy of being a new Muppet. But, I think if you compare him with some of the lesser Muppets and their minor, one note acts they would do on the original show, some appearing in the new movie too, he fits i...

From Doug Walker's Facebook page back in October "How did they turn Lola Bunny, the most bland and unfunny of Looney Tunes, into one of the most hilariously awkward psychopaths in recent memory? Maybe it's Kristen Wiig's voice, maybe it's just great writing, but she kills me. The image of her ...

During that review, there was some mention by Doug of his commenting a lot on the New Looney Tunes Show in previous vids. I can't find any vids on his site that specify that. Can anyone direct me. I'd be interested in his opinion on that show. I liked it, but I hate what they did to Lola! From Doug...

Australia doesn't get The Muppets till January! So wrong! But listening to the soundtrack now and I got really emotionally hearing all the muppets singing Rainbow Connection. The new songs are great but its so emotional hearing them all singing it together. :-) I second that. First it's the quiet o...

I saw The Muppets yesterday. I won tickets to a special preview. Let me say that this movie is fabulous. I enjoyed it immensely, and it made me laugh, smile, and at times even get very emotional over the nostalgia and joy the Muppets have brought to our lives over the years. It actually had me in g...

"Life's a Happy Song" should give "Star Spangled Man" and "So Long" some competition for Best Original Song. A strong year for Disney music.

I bought a 42 inch 3D HDTV and a PS3 (which plays 3D blu-rays) for $850 last week (I have been saving for a few months now). For well under a grand, it was definitely a steal. The 3D is of course optional, and the HD picture itself is superb as well, which is important because I probably watch 3D on...

Todd and Copper are likely bi-sexual.

Zazu is probably gay. Perhaps a relationship with Rafiki?
