Most Foul, Strange and Unnatural.

After watching The Simpsons, I think I'm going to start using "murther" instead of "murder" again.

After watching The Incredibles, I think I am going to give a list of movies it rocks the socks off of:
  • Monsters Inc.
  • Finding Nemo
  • Toy Story & Toy Story 2
  • Spiderman 2
  • Superman
  • The Man With the Golden Gun
  • Dr. No
The design and animation were amazing, and the story was much more complex and subtle than Pixar's previous efforts. Rarely do I say this, but I'd really like to go back and see it again.

After pleasantly frittering the day away, I must report that it is a wonderful thing to be easily pleased. However, it is not a good component to getting one's house clean.

Along with the above, my new mindless time killer is Jewel Quest. The basic gameplay is the old standby Bejeweled. But when a match has been made, the squares wear the jewels were removed turn gold, like Alchemy. And like in Alchemy, the goal is to clear the board. It moves pretty quickly, and the most tricky bits are still pretty simple. And the danger of running out of moves is low. It requires very little thought, and is good for when one's mind is occupied elsewhere.

I don't think they will

That whole "outtakes" thing is already old. I doubt Pixar will be revisiting it again. (Wasn't Nemo the first time they didn't do it?) The Incredibles' end credits were beautiful -- that's some great graphic design, type and character art. Plus that great score again: cool, a little retro, and action-packed.. Swoon...

Chicken Little is Disney's way of saying "Hey, we can make as much money as Pixar can with this CGI stuff. Who needs 'em?" I didn't see a preview of it when I saw the Incredibles, so I hope it's good. (Dinosaurs was pretty ho-hum. But I imagine they'd do a better job of something more cartoony.) But since Disney has laid off most of its animation staff (basically, no more cartoons from Disney unless it's direct to DVD) I wonder who's left that knows this stuff?

Oh speaking of Disney, are we gonna have a trip to Anaheim next July, Tablesaw? Arewearewearewe? I'm planning to take advantage of every vaguely-related animation thing I can while I'm there for the wee so I wanna start planning early.

That's a good point! I'll keep an eye out.

I just saw the two trailers. It looks good! And yes it's directed by the fella who did Emperor's New Groove so I feel much better now. :)
