I shall begin this collection and publication of thoughts with a quick splurge of characters and hitting my head on the keyboard: I LOVED IT I LOVED IT I LOVED IT I LOVED IT!sgafgawFWfETR12QEW` 1WER4WEFCQW!!!!
Alrighty then, on with the review!
I saw it on opening day, at one of the first showings in the state, I got to the movie theatre, and then sat outside for 10 to 20 minutes waiting for it to open. Got my ticket, and entered.
I was really, really, REALLY excited about this (I’ve been waiting since the first press release practically) so my review is definitely biased.
The animation was wonderful—although while reading the credits I saw that Ink & Paint and clean up was outsourced to two or three different studios (Didn’t catch the names—sorry!) and I also saw something that suggested they used rotoscoping, but I wasn’t sure, a darn usher decided I had read enough of the credits, so he walked right in front of us and started sweeping. And I don’t want to hear that he didn’t see us, because he had been staring at us before he was rude. But I just looked around his body and he moved.
A big kudos to Randy Newman for the music of the film. It’s funny, I’ve never heard any of his stuff except for his Pixar and Disney music. I loved it all (The Ne-Yo track wasn’t as good as it could have been, but if you’re a hip-hop fan, you’ll tap your toe to the tune—tongue twister!) I actually went home and got the soundtrack album. (Which does feature selections from the score!)
The movie was really funny, and was a visual feast. The character, and set design were fabulous. I just really loved everything. Especially, John Lasseter’s touch (Executive Producer). He’s an artist, and you could tell the suits didn’t interfere with the production much. I don’t want to spoil much, but it isn’t all happy smiley Disney gunk.
Well, go see it…NOW! I mean it! It was great. (But some people, believe it or not, don’t like princess movies. I know, a shocker)
Want me to review a film? Let me know!

[...] So Disney can only use minimal creativity. They can’t come up with their own feature concept anymore. (At least for live action, we’re not discussing animation here.) [...]
