Is it wrong that I get chills and my eyes well with tears of anticipation for this movie? I would see this movie regardless if I had children or not, which I do.
I actually can't wait :D AND it's released the day after my birthday and on the day of my friends birthday, and even though we'll be attempting to drive to London that day, i have a feeling we might be finding a cinema that night...
These movies always seemed like a huge rip-off of "A Christmas Toy". And "A Christmas Toy" had Muppets...these movies just have never had any appeal for me, I cannot STAND that type of animation. I find it so annoying! But hey, whatever floats people's boats. Not that I even go to the movies anyway, LOL.
RocketQueen, I wanna hug you. I want you to understand the joy that the rest of us get out of this movie. It's the first kids movie I went to that both parents and children could sit through.
And it's in Imax 3D!! SWEET! I may make the kids go see it with me. Even though they're now 18 and 16....
Lol @ mngddess. I'll just have to take your word for it. I tried Finding Nemo, I tried Toy Story 1, I tried Lion King, I tried the Where Wild Things Are...I can never get over the feeling that the words and message are for kids and I spend too much time rolling my eyes. I'll take the hug anyway, though :)
RocketQueen and mngddess: THANK YOU. I always feel like a... hater for not liking animated films but I just have no, I dunno... patience for them anymore. A lot of my friends are film buffs and I get the feeling that they might feel that I don't love film to the depth they do, but I just can't get enthused about this sort of stuff. Some animation can move me ("The Snowman" and a few others) but for the most part, I just don't feel the love.
My kids are teens and I still can't wait to see this! I might have to rent a little kid, but then again, my 16 year old daughter will probably be into seeing it, especially at the IMAX theatre.
A lot of times animated movies don't float my boat that much, but 'Wall-E' was an amazing movie that just happened to be animated. I've heard 'Up' is even better, but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

ReplyDeleteUgh. I'm one of those adults who just doesn't care for animated films. I've tried...do.not.like.
ReplyDeleteCannot. Wait. My Four-Year Old are so into this movie right now. LOVE.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait, either. Love animated movies. Hanks and Tim Allen are perfect voices for Woody and Buzz.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is classic. Lots of "adult" jokes in there, too.

ReplyDeleteRocketQueen....try A Bug's Life. Seriously good film, regardless of the animation. Can't go wrong with voices like Dennis Leary and Kevin Spacey.
ReplyDeleteRocketQueen: Maybe The Incredibles or Ratatouille might be a little more grown up for your tastes. Good story telling by Brad Bird.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love everyone - especially you, Mango! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'll ease into it with Fantastic Mr. Fox - that one looks good to me?!

ReplyDeleteI just saw Meet the Robinson's for the first time the other day and I seriously got choked up and teary eyed. Very good message in that movie.

ReplyDeleteI just about lost it when I heard Take my breath away...ahahahh
