Another Take By Zac: Film Review: Cars 2
Cars 2 is fun, funny, fast paced, and an exciting spy movie that improves upon the original Cars and has fun with the genre its playing in; while turning in some quality set pieces that a lot of action movies wish they had. The original Cars has grown on me every time I’ve seen it […]

DVD Review – “Waking Sleeping Beauty”

Disney’s ‘The Princess and The Frog’ animators Bruce Smith and Randy Haycock Interview
A couple weeks ago Disney sent out some of their animators on a press tour to promote Disney’s return to traditional 2D hand drawn animation. St. Louis members of the press and I were lucky enough to interview two of the animators who worked on the film. Both seemed very enthusiastic about Disney’s return to […]
The Princess and the Frog
The Princess and the Frog isn’t a return to the brilliant early 90’s heyday of Disney Animation, but it is for sure a huge step in the right direction. Twisting the classic tale of The Frog Princess on its head this version of the classic fairytale has the “princess” turn into a frog when she […]
