This & That:
Today is Father`s day. My talented daughter, Raven, created this card for me. Gods she is getting good. She may have to barrow this back for her portfolio. Killer image. Very haunting.
I have been really looking forward to Wall-E from Pixar. The last 2 Pixar animations were below Pixar standards. Which only means that Cars and Ratatouille are outstanding films that would have made the name of any other studio but fall short when comparing Pixar to Pixar. I know it is not fair but those are the facts.
Ratatouille has some great moments but Brad Bird took it over way too late in the game and it shows a little. He did a marvelous job in the time he had but it has not the brilliance of The Incredibles. And anyway, rats in the kitchen sets poorly with this former Chef.
Cars; the concept was strained from the start. Cars living in a human world that is not made to fit their dexterity or lack there of and not a human in sight. No one but John Lasseter could have made a feature length animated film in Susie the Little Blue Coupe`s universe minus people and made it work. That being said it was still a stretch and it made it hard for me to suspend my disbelief.
If you are a ASIFA-Hollywood member you too can come check out Andrew Stanton`s time back up to bat on Saturday June 28th. Your invitation should have arrived in the mail last week Here is hoping Wall-E comes through when comparing brilliance to brilliance.
