I will say that there were certain things I did appreciate in terms of subverting the conventions, but on the whole I found it underwhelming. Beautiful to look at, for certain, but I'm sorry to say it just didn't do it for me.

The music, I felt, was sort of hit-and-miss, honestly, with only a couple of songs sticking out as the sort that will last beyond the fanfare of the movies, but the story itself was so refreshing. After "The Princess and the Frog", I was pretty ready to just ignore any Disney movie aimed at children.Alex Hursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556334141936498897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-45297340184756590472013-12-20T12:31:42.028-08:002013-12-20T12:31:42.028-08:00RG: I understand how that goes.

I mean, how many utterly optimistic characters do you come across these days? You don't. And in the cynical society, I think we've lost even the belief that optimism is a good quality to have. That's one of the biggest reasons I liked the movie. It reminds us several things society seems to have forgotten.

I'm glad to hear there's something out there as good as TS3, because that was one amazing way to wrap up that story. Of course, I cried in TS1 also. I'm a cryer. All I remember of TS2 is the creepy almost naked baby doll being the mob boss poker player.... I'm looking forward to this movie even if my boys have gotten so old they might not watch it with me...or have they...check out my excerpt from my contest story. And I totally threaten you with weapons and call (and link of course) you by name so you might want to go defend yourself. Just sayin'.
