"Following his five-year commitment to the two-part Hobbit movies, Guillermo Del Toro already has enough projects lined up to keep him busy and us entertained through the end of the next decade. In his pipeline are new, more faithful versions of “Frankenstein,” “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” and “Slaughterhouse-Five,” as well as an adaptation of Dan Simmons’ upcoming novel “Drood,” about Charles Dickens. Oh, and there’s always that chance of him making another Hellboy sequel, too. Apparently he’ll be able to keep all productions alive simultaneously by maintaining a split personality and an uncontrollable ability to become unstuck in time. Remember that TV series that involved five individuals who came together to make one bigger superpower? I mean Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but if you were thinking of Voltron, you were kinda close. Mark Makowski, whose biggest credit is for directing episodes of Queer Eye, is in talks to "

"The 80's were not kind to Disney, as most of their animated films during that period didn't become the classics I'm sure they were intended to be. But then along came Disney's interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid; you couldn't get away from this movie if you tried. Toys stores, McDonald's, backpacks, Jell-O...everywhere you looked, there it was. I enjoyed it mostly because those damn songs (written by the dynamic Alan Menkin and Howard Ashman) absolutely would not leave me alone, and I had thoroughly enjoyed their work on Little Shop of Horrors three years previous to this film being released. I find myself watching it every few years and, no matter how much my taste in films have changed over the years, it still brings a smile to my face. Fun for the whole family! "

"This series of side-by-side comparisons of frames from various Disney films (via WIRED's Underwire blog) is meant to show how Disney recycles frames from one 2D animated flick to another in order to save time, money and labor value. But more impressively, it's also solid proof of the animation factory's tendency to recycle themes across decades. The tableau above tracks the "nubile nymph dances for plump (read: impotent) male onlookers" theme, first seen in 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and then resurrected 36 years later for Robin Hood. And surely there are more examples of such a scene playing out across the Disney ouevre--it's been at least 17 years since I've seen it, but The Little Mermaid immediately comes to mind. For all the films collecting dust in the Disney vault, there are really only three or four stories being told--young males, abandoned my their families, turn to nature "

"After 17 years, I have finally had a chance to take in one of my favorite Disney films, The Little Mermaid, on DVD This film was the first in a line of Disney that defined the studio during the early to mid 90s in a line of popular animated films such as The Lion King and Aladdin. I was excited yet a bit cautious to take this film after so many years because nostalgia has a way of making memories more pleasurable that what they really are. The rose-tinted glasses effect as they say. This really was no the case with this film and I really enjoyed revisiting this film again.When you are younger one really doesn’t care about the technical aspect of any film, but one of the first thing that I noticed about this film is that the character designs seems very expressive for a Disney film. There aren’t many traditional human character designs in this film, obviously, but the human elements of the characters’ faces are over exaggerated, almost like those found in anime ... "
