By the way, any North Americans on this discussion anticipating the local release of the film adaptation of The Little Prince that came out last year... and is coming out in March?

To be fair, Universal put out a widescreen DVD and Blu-ray of the original back in October. Chances are, some older fans are showing it to their kids (if they have any, of course).

Mm-hmm. Just two sequels. I'll give Universal some credit, though, much as they barely even acknowledge that Balto existed (giving North American fans the same fullscreen DVD from 2002 reprinted last year even though there are better DVD editions available in foreign countries), they pulled the...

Oh, I think I saw that on TV once... about 11 years ago. And I only barely remember that I saw it. I'm not even desperate to rewatch it nor was I even months after that. Same went for (sorry to bring this up again) Balto III: Wings of Change. I saw it the day it premiered on YTV (right before...

Wonder how many people will buy that? Come to think of it, how many people will remember the other three existed before they buy that? It's been what, about 5 years now? Speaking of cheapquels, the next three you-know-what sequels were revealed: The Big Fureeze, Dinosaur Digs and Journey to...

I was at a Tim Hortons with a friend yesterday, and at one point, the flat-panel TV in front of where we sat showed a TV spot for Norm of the North. I confided to my friend that it would suck, and she agreed. Anyone else keeping their fingers crossed that Kung Fu Panda 3 doesn't get overshadowed?

No kidding. Come to think it, putting CGI talk onto anything live-action looks creepy (e.g. Baby Geniuses). Sure, the live-action talking animal thing didn't look bad when Babe did it, it helps that it was a very heartwarming movie to begin with, but nowadays it seems to amount to "Hey look...

Around this time, the CGI film Rock Dog was supposed to come out in China (where it was partly made) but it was delayed until next year. And who should be responsible for that but, once again... ..the Weinstein Company! *insert APM dun-dun-dun!* I think that's even more proof that when it...

Now that you mention it, those comparisons seem to make sense. To quote what TV Tropes' "So Bad, It's Horrible" page said about Action 52... "Well, they weren't "plans" so much as "pie-in-the-sky dreaming with absolutely no grounding in what we call reality" In fact, Active Enterprises had a...

Well, I've added them to the page on TV Tropes. I still suspect that Colin Slater engineered a "get-rich-quick" scheme rather than telling a heartfelt story, but TV stations doing the bare minimum of effort to broadcast it (i.e. with little to no advertising beforehand and at random times of...

Holy mackerel. I was expecting bad, but not this! At least the characters resemble the concept art more so than the showreel and the end credits song is actually not half bad. As for the voice acting, most of them give that "I wish I was doing something else right now" type of performance. Not...

It might be an attempt to draw the child's attention towards the character... but remember when the poster or video art for a children's movie was something like these?: * The protagonist(s) in front surrounded by characters and objects from the movie flying all over the place. * All the...

A full frame DVD made after 2008? Sheesh, you'd think the studios would know by now that almost everyone in this decade has at least one wide screen to watch movies on. Not really CG-related, but I found out that the newer DVDs of Universal's many kids movies (e.g. The Cat in the Hat, Balto...

I went and Googled it and... that film you don't remember is actually Rango. Fun fact: Like a certain film about wolves, Barnyard was also released in Iran. Apparently, despite not being an official dub, it was still a success there, or at least that's what TV Tropes tells me.

Yeah, judging by the inclusion of a few actually good films and only one of Lionsgate/Grindstone's Redbox/Netflix filler CGI dubs in this set, it's almost as though they want to make their products more valuable to customers with good taste. Or maybe that's just me being hopelessly naive. Then...

You know, not to beat a dead horse or anything, but when I went to Walmart earlier today, I bought this 10-film box set from eOne (I live in Canada): Oh yeah, and I saw the new A&O sequel in the "New Releases" display along with All Creatures Big and Small featuring Martin Sheen. Is he another...

Anyone else besides me think that this film here is going to bomb? At least at the US box office? No disrespect towards Mexican animation. It's just that... I can feel it in my bones.

Anyone else know about the Weinsteins pulling Underdogs from its US release a week before it was to be shown? Considering how Doogal turned out... do you think we might have been spared a horrible dub?

As far as CGI reboots go, I don't really have a problem with the character designs for the newer Chipmunks cartoon. In fact, they look much better than they did in the films... to me, at least. I have yet to watch it, though.

Oh dear! Sounds like it would've been worse than Fly Me to The Moon 3D! Not to mention that it sounds like many of those cheesy cartoons that were made back in the 70's, stuff like Casper the Friendly Ghost accompanying two Charlie's Angel-wannabes IN SPACE!, or the Partridge Family in the...
