I wish they would make a Gigantor movie.

Originally posted by TOK Maybe because it was too preachy. I found the idea of a Cold War cartoon compelling enough to see it in the theater without kids, but was disappointed by the pandering anti-gun message, practically equating guns, war and hunting as all the same thing. Before anyone starts screaming about it, I'm not an NRA member and not a hunter. I just didn't like the way this movie forced it's opinion on you, and kept pecking away at it. This soured my attitude, despite some great moments, like the swimming hole scene, and I also thought Harry Connick Jr's character was pretty funny. Overall, I found this movie was a great idea, mostly wasted. |

Originally posted by TOK Pixar gets this right. They entertain, but do not "inform". I can only hope that has more than a little to do with Iron Giants relative failure compared to anything Pixar has done. |
