Now i'm not usually a fan of spending hard earned money to sit for two hours to watch a goddamn cartoon.
Unless said cartoon entertains my ass.
Examples of this are rare, but fortunately i can add the disney "film" UP to this list. Others include the lion king, one of the shrek movies and ...well that's all i can remember at the moment.
Hollywood's getting real smart about writing these. They're taking the kill two birds approach, where they realize people like me don't want to watch cartoons generally. But kids do..and kids can't go to the movies by themselves anymore (wow times have changed) so, they're writing these stories with adult themes - too subtle for kids to understand, while throwing in the obligatory cartooney stuff. Smart marketing - appeal to the child in the child, and the inner child in the adult.
Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised by UP. It was well written, looked fabulous in HD and those tricky bastards convinced me i was watching real people and not a billion files of data in some complex computer software. Granted, i probably started off discounting it because it was a cartoon after all.
But i'm guessing those sneaky mofos producing these things know that too.
