The Princess and the Frog Looks Funny, Happy and Sweet
It was cool to get a glimpse of The Princess and the Frog back in May, but half of that video was simply about how great Disney is in general. Now there's a full-length trailer for the animated movie and it looks like Disney really is returning to the kinds of hand-drawn musical movies I so cherished when I was a kid. We have yet another Disney princess, Princess Tiana, but the similarities between this story and any of the others before it stop there.
Buzz In: Which Animated Movies Made You Cry?
As many of you likely discovered over the weekend, Pixar's new blockbuster Up is a total tearjerker. Who would have thought a funny-looking movie about a grumpy old man, talking dogs, and an inquisitive little kid could make me bawl like a baby?!
I was wondering how little kids are handling some of the sad scenes in Up, and then I remembered that animated movies have been making kids (including me) cry for years now.
12 Exciting Upcoming Animated Movies
The release of Pixar's Up has really put me in an animated mood. Ha! Get it?
Ridiculous Cuteness: Toy Story 3 Teaser
It's a Pixar kind of week around here what with a quiz and an Up review. Now, to add to the Pixar madness we've got a cute little teaser for the third Toy Story movie, opening June 18, 2010. Story-wise, nothing is revealed in the video, it's mostly just Buzz trying to one-up Woody on the Toy Story 3 sign — but oh, golly, it is so adorable.
Up: Another Major Pixar Success
From the press notes handed out at my screening of Up, I learned that Walt Disney believed that for every laugh there should be a tear, a sort of Newton's third law of entertainment. If he were around to see this movie, which upholds that "law" to a T, I have a feeling Mr. Disney's head would swell with pride — and perhaps take him up into the air like one of the many colorful balloons in the movie. See?
Will You See a 3-D Beauty and the Beast in Theaters?
Disney has made it clear that its future is so bright, we're gonna have to wear (3-D) shades. From Robert Zemeckis's version of A Christmas Carol to Pixar's Up (which looks so cute!), Disney is all about the 3-D experience for the next two years.
This includes the re-release in theaters of a few oldies but goodies, including Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story and Toy Story 2.
First Look: Teaser for Disney's Princess and the Frog
We've been hearing about Disney's first black princess for a while now, and today they've released a brief teaser trailer that introduces us to both princess and frog in the animated Princess and the Frog. The story is described as "a fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age." Tiana is voiced by Dreamgirls's Anika Noni Rose.
Should Wall-E Be Nominated for Best Picture?
Wall-E has been showered with praise from critics and audiences alike. These kinds of accolades haven't really been heard since, say, There Will Be Blood, or I dunno, Juno — both of which were nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars this year.
Now there's a a campaign afoot to get Wall-E out of the Best Animated Film category and into competition with the big guns.
