March of the Penguins

2005-05-30T22:16:00.000-07:00

In a year full of exciting movies filled with dazzling special effects, the trailer that has me most excited so far (besides Narnia) is for an upcoming documentary called March of the Penguins. It looks to be an amazing story with fantastic cinematography, and penguins are entertaining no matter how you present it. So I'm looking forward to this film, but since it's not released yet, I can't say

American Idol

Some people love it, some people hate it. And some people, like me, fit into the category of finding elements of it irritating but appreciating it nonetheless and standing on the edge of it being almost a guilty pleasure, but not in the same way I find stuff like Dirty Dancing. (i cant explain that one, either) Is American Idol, as some would say, a cleverly rigged marketing scheme that only

The Nightmare Before Christmas

2005-01-12T13:15:00.000-08:00

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is a masterpiece that was 10 years in the making. The film was not produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, but only distributed by Disney’s Touchstone Pictures. The film was originally conceived as a poem by Tim Burton when he was working as an animator at Disney in the early 1980s. Since he created the concept while working there,

Home on the Range

2004-04-02T13:13:00.000-08:00

Jumping ahead by a few decades here, what started in 1937 with Snow White now apparently ends in 2004 with Home on the Range, which the Disney studio says is their last feature film in the traditional, hand-drawn style of 2D animation. All films from now on, outside of the sequels and whatnot coming from Australia’s studio, will be computer

Walt Disney once wrote: “Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them. But I don’t believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn’t treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and

Snow White

2003-06-19T13:02:00.000-07:00

One day in 1934, Walt Disney called his staff together for a meeting, and in the aura of a single light bulb, spent two hours acting out the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. At the end, even the most hard-nosed artists were wiping away tears, and Walt told them, "That's going to be our first feature." Just like many other films that happen to have Biblical elements in them, Snow White is
