Up

This looks brilliant, worthy of Roald Dahl himself. How does Pixar churn this stuff out so damn consistently??




I find it only mildly strange that they've chosen to pit animated versions of Spencer Tracy and Ted Turner against one another. And the fat kid and Dug the dog are hilarious. I can't wait!

This looks like fun. I can't wait either.

woohoo, i love the fat kid. he reminds me so of Edwin the boy scout and his acts of kindness.
It is a wonder indeed, how they do this film after film.

Woenvu: The dog really tops it. I have a great merchandising idea for them: they should sell talking collars (so that all our pets may sound polite and stupid).

Paras: Amen.

Andy: Woohoo!

Um. Who's Edwin the boy scout?

woenvu said...

squirrel!

lol. that's definitely the best part. and that standard manic expression on the dog's face. priceless.

the brother of florence craye who burns down Wee Nooke.. the wodehousian tribute to the pest like clan of boy scouts.

heh. i should've known it was a plum reference, coming from you. it's been ages since i read any jeeves. i should, soon. gah.

my favourite bit was after the house has taken off, and the boy is stuck and says 'please let me in', and he says no and slams the door, and there's three odd seconds of silence before he lets him in. hehe.

actually, rewatching it now, the humour is a bit more.. um. childish than previous pixars, i think.

never know. the devil might yet be in the details.

seen the preview for Funny People? It's actually... funny.

eyefry said...

Yeah, I did. I'm actually turning into quite a Seth Rogen fan. I'm still not sure why, though.
