Thanks!! :D
That said, I hated the music in Pooh.
I thought it was merely descent. The songs were cute but forgetful. The only song I disliked was the end-credits one "So Long".

I liked the songs sung by Pooh, Owl etc. Especially "The Backson Song" and "Everything Is Honey". The songs by Zooey Deschanel I don't care that much for, perhaps because I find her a little irritating.

To get specific, I hated the Zooey Deschanel songs and the tummy growling...thing. The other songs were painless but pointless.

FYC ad for Cars 2:

Still don't think Cars 2 is getting an Animated Feature nomination.

I would prefer Kung Fu Panda 2 over Cars 2. I have not seen TinTin, Rango, or any of the other animated features.

Call me old fashioned but the character animation in Wrinkled looks terrible. I know it's the movie's style, but I find it very off putting. It's almost as if it wants to be a Chomet picture but is stuck with a TV-budget. Yuck.

I think that the animation and the design is quite descent. It is certainly better than the rest foreign animated movies this year competing for an Oscar nomination.

I was expecting, "Rango," to win, because despite its top critics, it has a clever story. Maybe next time in the Academy Awards.

Here's Steven Spielberg in the press room after his Tintin win at the Golden Globes:
