Is that a good book?
That's like asking if ice cream tastes good!
Alright sorry to insult your intelligence, I just love that book. I absolutly hated how that movie made Marvin's head big. I always imagined him as a lanky, flat-headed, Futurama/Disney's Treasure Island move-esque robot.
Somehow Aruther managed to look like James from the Disney puppet version of James and the Giant Peach.
I watch too much Disney.
I read... The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And...
"I shall drink like a Pope!"

Me too. Atlantis grew on me, I admit... I saw it 5 times over the weekend and didn't get tired of it. Must've been the animation and character designs...

It got terrible reviews but hey I liked it.

It got bad reviews? Why? What did they say?
Ready for this? Because this is pretty long. And I am sorry for hijacking this thread.
It's like Treasure Island , only set in space. What an idea! Why didn't anyone think of it sooner? Probably because it's rubbish.
If fans of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic were peeved by the Muppet's attempted reworking a few years ago, then they should definitely hide their eyes now. For this charmless sci-fi caper, Disney have taken it upon themselves to make Jim Hawkins a sulky floppy-haired space-surfing delinquent, and Long John Silver a robot-armed cyborg with a cutesy shape-shifting pink blob where once you'd have expected a parrot. Disney have provided us with some wonderful characters over the years, but you'll struggle to find any in here.
Hawkins gets the opportunity to escape the whining of his suspiciously young-looking single mum when he discovers a star chart leading him to the hidden "loot of a thousand worlds". So, accompanied by a particularly irritating friend of the family going by the name of Dr Doppler, he sets off on a ship captained by an Emma Thompson-voiced captain and a crew of predictably mutinous mutants.
It's all formulaic Disney fare, but from the directors who brought us the triumphs that were Aladdin and The Little Mermaid you expect much more. Yes, the animation is brilliant, and the space theme provides the perfect opportunity for Disney to show off the full whack of its' cartoon capabilities. But we already know Disney can do that. It just wouldn't be one of Walt's flicks if it didn't utilise the latest cutting edge technology, but that's no substitute for good ideas, a sharp script, likable characters and a fun soundtrack. Unfortunately, Treasure Planet struggles to keep its head above water in all four of those areas.
This contrived attempt at recapturing the spirit of Disney adventures of old is to be followed swiftly into cinemas by a sequel to The Jungle Book. Is that the sound of great minds whirring we hear emanating from Disney HQ? Nope, it's the sound of a barrel being scraped.
It's Got: Martin Short as the malfunctioning hyper-annoying robot B.E.N. - the things you see when you don't have a tin-opener.
It Needs: To dump the groaning "adult" soundtrack and inject some proper fun.
Alternatives: Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King
Summary: The quality of the animation never fails to impress, but can't cover up for the fact that this is one of the blandest cartoon tales ever to come out of the Disney studios. Extremely disappointing.

D: I LOVED Dr. Doppler. So much cooler than that lame doctor in the book...
The book bored me, anyways.
WAITAMINNET. I was talking about ATLANTIS!
...but Disney seriously needs to cut the cheap sequels. But since they're OBVIOUSLY not making anymore more hand drawn flims, we won't have to worry about that. They're stopping after Cinderella THREE.
Walt Disney is crying in his ice block. D:
One more thing...
'Disney HAS provided us...' That boob.
It seems Atlantis got some crap reviews, too.
Maybe I'll post one.

Amen.
I learned long ago to stay away from Disneys sequels. They suck so bad it makes me cry. It really ruins a good classic movie to make a crappy sequel for it too. What a shame.
Toy Story 2 was DEFINATLEY better than the original. The Aladdin sequels were quite good too.

Jafar Returns was.... special. 40 thieves was better.
TOY STORY ONE IS COOL. Foo'. I just feel bad for Atlantis, though, because everyone's dissin' (ha) because of the way it was drawn. D:
I liked Atlantis... Milo was quite Guybrush-like.

Oooh, yeah. When I was younger and the movie first came out, I didn't have a favorite character or anything. In fact, I didn't really care about the movie. Now that I'm cool, older, dignified, mature, and awesome, I LOVE the character designs. Especially Vinny and Audrey.

I was more fond of their comical movies. I liked The Emperors New Groove and Lilo And Stitch a lot. I like all of the Disney and Pixars...but I have a feeling that may end soon. But aside from that...I think my Disney phase has long ended. I still love cartoons, but I look more forward to stuff like Shrek and Corpse Bride. (I am SO seeing that next Friday!!!) Not that they have anything in common except that they are aimed towards an older age group.
I look forward to all animated movies, just because they make me so happy. :3
I'm going to see the Corpse Bride for my birthday!
The Corpse Bride. I'm actually a little scared of what is going to happen when the movie comes out. I already saw some NC-17 pictures of the Corpse Bride three weeks ago.
People, keep your hormones under control until the picture is at least out. Then do whatever you want and leave the dignified people to their own forums....
I wish I was one of the dignified people.

I'm going to simply go backwards in the mental stage and say:

F
?!
HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY DRAW PORN ABOUT A MOVIE BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT?! THAT'S JUST... STUPID!
And you're not one of the dignified people simply because you enjoy psychoporn too much. Last time I checked.

It was basically a pornographic rewrite of the trailer. Also the movie is based on an old poem.

Too true. too true. As long as it's well-written, plausible, and out there I'm all for it.
I was going to mess with your mind some more but seeing as I have company over who is staring over my shoulder I might have to use a code to say this.
Never mind. They implanted this idea in my mind. You know how Dogen got his mind taken out by Dr. Loboto and Loboto's primal memories were of Dogen? Why yes, put the two together and you have one of the more nasty ideas from another person's mind.
Still, I find Loboto and Crispin more disturbing.
Well, I know the poem part...
But how do you porn-up a trailer? That must be harder than writing a Tetris fanfic.

I'll PM. I don't want to dirty up the thread.
Ah. Thanks. Young ears wander... and I can't say I'm not one of them. But I'll live.
Shinzuku updated! Now I can rest in peace.
Um... okay... how old do you think that person is, exactly? Is Isabelle some warped Oc or something? That was just...
...
...
Special?

I'd say 12-13 as they are usually too shy to post anything resembling intelligence and well-written sentences.
Isabelle is the name she gave the Corpse Bride. What Burton is going to do. I don't know. However she podded the person. It means implanting a seed of Mary-Sue into a canon character and completly murphing up their character.
Now I am going to have to laugh as I said murph

People are weird O.o
Is there a section for that in FF.net yet? If there is I'm going to disown that website.
K, it's alright. Still no section. Although I bet they'll have one in by the time the movie comes out 9.9 Even tho they've neglected Psychonauts for this long!!

Murph. Isabelles is such a pretty name, too...
Murphmurph. I hope I never pod a character. That would be sad.

I bet Fanfiction.net voted REPUBLICAN! (no offense to any Republicans. I kid. Some of my best friend(s) are republican!)
How could you ignore Psychonauts? You can't! They're just spiting you.
That must be harder than writing a Tetris fanfic.
Tetris fanfic? I'm tempted...
Heheh, its kind of a joke between Zetty and I...
...that sounds like a play. Anyway, we were talking about how there's more fanfics for Tetris and the Bible than Grim Fandango, and... well. I'll bet the posts are buried in this thread somewhere.
Seriously, it would make probably make a really trippy story. You could totally pack it with metaphors and comparisons to teen life, or something. I'm sure some psychoanalytically inclined author would have a field day doing it up.
Why do your avatars keep changing to higher and higher degrees of awesome? Seriously.
We discussed a Tetris CROSSOVER. Wouldn't that be trippy.
Now quick! Stop talking about it! They might forget to name everybody!
Tetris fanfic? I'm tempted...
They have Tetris porn for god's sake.
I have it saved on my computer.
Eh, depends on what kind of references you make. I mean, it could be a story about mass rape at a mosh pit. Seriously, when you think about the metaphoric value of all those pieces stacking up...
Anyway, yeah. Thanks for the compliment. FLCL is completely awesome.
But, I digress...again.

Are you kidding me? That's...well, I suppose we should have expected it by now. But...ugh.

Rape. Any nonconsensual intercourse disguists. And then you actually meet the people who write it for pleasure. Makes those odd pairings fanfiction seem like a walk in the park.
If I was to do a Tetris fanfiction I would do it as one block's fight to get out of the bottom but is being outweighed by the rest of society.
Then he gets his super awesome gothic powers and flies out above them all as they burn in their own orgy of filth.
Cause you know goth people are the only people worth writing about.

You better be kidding. Because if you're not...
...
I don't know what I'll do. Probably lose all faith in the goodness of mankind and become a super villain.
I'm going to write a Tetris fic write now. Right here. Hang on.
Aren't we all just falling? Down, falling into an abyss... All of us squares, all of us... angular. NO ONE can express their individuality. No speaking. None. God's Gameboy is our home, and we are always crammed together. And in the end, just when you find someone you can talk to, someone JUST LIKE you... you both vanish. Into the abyss...
...
...That was it. GEEZ. God's gameboy? That fic was total CRAP. Its making me laugh very hard, though.
Nonsense, it was totally a spiritual journey for me. Soul-wrenching and powerful to the last sentence.

God's Gameboy is hardly spiritual. And yet, I feel I've described the feelings of our opressed, cubical friends. And they were all SO goth.
...I wish I were goth. Then people could write about me.

I lost my faith in humanity when I read Celebrian. NO I will NOT let anyone see that. I'm totally serious about that fic. No one should have to be put through that.
