I sat down for a online roundtable chat with the directors of the Oscar nominated Disney film ‘The Princess and the Frog.” John Musker and Ron Clements have collaborated on projects for Disney since 1986, including “The Little Mermaid,” and “Aladdin.” This is a return to traditional 2-D animation for the studio, a chance to […]

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
The third film in the trilogy is superior to the awful second, but doesn’t have the heart and all around quality of the first film in the series; and it utilizes the use of 3-D fairly well in a couple of key action scenes. Diego, Manny, and Sid are all living together in there own […]

Coraline
Henry Selick’s latest stop motion adventure is his most beautiful yet and while after a first viewing it isn’t my favorite of his work, there is definitely a lot of room for this one to grow on a second and third go around. Coraline and her family have just moved into an apartment up in […]
Wall-E
Andrew Stanton and Pixar’s latest is right up there with the best of theirs, which is certainly saying something, as Wall-E is one of the best characters in cinema history.The humans have abandoned Earth and left behind an army of robots to clean up the mess. Wall-E is the last of these robots left to […]
