I greatly enjoyed the movie, too, although I've really liked every movie Walt Disney Animation has done since "Bolt." There's just something about the films the studio has produced over the last decade or so that has appealed to me. I found the musical numbers creative and the songs catchy...

I guess it's possible they cut the intro where Jiminy sings the song and opens the book. I can definitely imagine a scenario where Zemeckis has Erivo sing "When You Wish Upon a Star" over the opening castle logo, which then transitions into the camera swooping through the village until fin...

At the moment, the song I'm predicting to win the Oscar is "No Time to Die." Billie Eillish has been inescapable lately, including hosting "Saturday Night Live", and appears to be winning a lot of admirers. The last two James Bond movies also won for their theme songs, after seve...

Annie Award nominations have been announced. Here are a few of the categories: Best Feature: Encanto Luca Raya and the Last Dragon Sing 2 The Mitchells vs. the Machines Best Indie Feature: Belle Flee Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko Pompo the Cinephile The Summit of the Gods Best Direction - Feature: Bel...

Although if Lasseter was still at Pixar, would Dan Scanlon, Enrico Casarosa and Domee Shi have been replaced on their movies? Because I have noticed since Docter has taken charge, he has let every directors finish the movie they started as opposed to what happened to the likes of Jan Pinkava, Bob Pe...

In the sixteen years since Toy Story was added, the National Film Registry has added five WDAS movies. Four of them (The Lion King, Dumbo, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty) were added from 2016 to 2019. WALL-E is only the second Pixar feature to be inducted, while Shrek is the only non-Disney animated...

Noooo! I was hoping it was at least doing better than Raya. Also wouldn't it still be affected by Covid especially with Omicrom now? And also the fact a lot of people now know they can just wait a month and watch it on Disney+ ? I just think Box Office these days cant be measured by old metrics, th...

Oscars’ Eligibility List for Original Song and Score Contains Few Surprises Highlighting some notable parts of the article: Eighty-four songs and 137 original scores have been deemed eligible for Academy Awards consideration this year, Variety has learned. All of the songs that have been campaigned...

Interesting enough, despite Hollywood reportedly shunning the Golden Globes, Disney's social media accounts publicly acknowledged the nominations today. The Critics Choice Association also announced their nominations today. Here are the Animated Feature nominees: Encanto Flee Luca The Mitchells vs t...

Aside from mostly action movies and horror movies, a lot of movies haven't been pulling in their pre-covid numbers at the box-office. We're still in this pandemic and movies with appeal to older viewers are struggling the most, especially dramas and musicals. Family films also aren't at the grosses ...

James Cameron also cited pulp magazines and authors like Edgar Rice Burroughs as a major influence on "Avatar", so if there are similarities, it's because Hall is inspired by the same sorts of stories. Sort of like how "John Carter" brought up comparisons to "Star Wars"...

I remember the filmmakers of "Into the Spider-Verse" saying they had a lot of ideas they were really keen on including in the first movie, but couldn't for time reasons. So it's likely the screenplay for the sequel got so massive and there wasn't a way to trim it down without losing import...

The National Board of Review named "Encanto" the Best Animated Feature of 2021 "Flee" was also cited as one of the Top 5 Documentaries and was given the Freedom of Expression Award. This is a good start for "Encanto", although the NBR and the Oscars have only agreed fo...

With Encanto now out, I wonder when Disney will officially announce the next WDAS movie. We usually know what it is at this point, but it surprisingly hasn't been revealed yet. Maybe they will time an announcement with Encanto's release on D+ in three weeks.

I knew those previous predictions about an opening weekend of $20-35M for Encanto were ridiculously low and unrealistic. :roll: The industry hasn't been too good recently at predicting Box Office openings and guessing the audience reaction and is sure to make no exception when it comes to animation...

I noticed Netflix updated their awards page. They now have The Mitchells vs. the Machines, Vivo and The Summit of the Gods listed in animation. Oddly, they don't have Best Original Song listed among Vivo's categories. I also find it strange they removed Wish Dragon. It probably only has an outside ...

For those who are introduced to the movies via the live-action remakes, Disney+ does do a good job of showing the animated films front and centre. When I finished watching the "Lady and the Tramp" and "Mulan" remakes on D+, a pop-up immediately appeared suggesting I watch the ani...

Allow me to explain why I have this opinion. Back when The Lion King remake was released in 2019, there was a user on YouTube (I can't remember who he was), and he posted a video 30-ish minute long video in which he basically bitched about the movie. Not even 5 minutes in, he was almost out of brea...

I was thinking back to the animated film and specifically to the prince and he really has no personality at all, except for being a romantic. Even the forest animals have more personality. :P Every other character is pretty straightforward and easily identifiable (Snow White is kind and caring, the ...

Pixar has officially announced Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas wrote three songs for the boy band in the movie. They also revealed their voices. Meet Pixar’s first-ever boy band in Turning Red… #4Town, with three all-new songs written by Billie Eilish & FINNEAS. The five harmonious voices...
