I've seen The Wind Rises, and I can tell you it's pretty spectacular. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the American release, because the voice cast they've assembled (including Werner Herzog) is impressive. Oh boy. Oh loving boy.

I just caught up on The Croods the other night, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by it. Between The Wind Rises and Frozen, I'd say The Croods chances at a win are slim to none, but I'm pleased to see it land a nomination regardless.

Pick posted:Right, I think it deserves a nomination, definitely not a win. But I really like the style of it all and admired its tough message. In a purely technical sense, I think The Croods definitely stands toe to to with the rest of them. Some of the animation is gorgeous, particularly the scenes of the family on the move, where it seems like everyone is running 50 miles per hour. The film has an incredible sense of motion to it, which feeds into its theme of forward momentum vs stagnation. It's just that the others offer so much more, you know? Frozen is an impeccably produced Broadway-style musical, while The Wind Rises is a quiet, at times layered meditation on the nature of art and the act of invention. The Croods is just...well...The Croods.

Corek posted:"Psy’s “Gangnam Style” plays prominently into a mid-film dance sequence and a post-credits curtain call (including an animated cameo from the singer himself)." I hate this. I hate you. I hate everything.

The Nut Job ends with every single character doing the Gangnam Style dance with an animated Psy over the end credits. The whole goddamn song.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I finally saw the trailer for The Boxtrolls tonight, and hoooooly poo poo does it look good. I realize everybody has already seen it, but I held off because it was something I wanted to see on the big screen first. And man oh man, I am beyond excited for this film. The only thing that put a damper on it was the fact that the trailer immediately led into The loving Nut Job.

I would honestly be surprised if one of Disney's next moves were a Frozen sequel. That's not really their MO. They've done sequels before, but those have either been DTV or many years after the fact. Sure, Frozen made them upwards of a billion dollars, but they tend to pump all that extra cash into whatever other ideas they happen to be working on. And then sometimes Planes 2 happens anyway.

I was thinking of Return to Neverland, but it looks like that was done by Disney's offshoot studio.

The point still stands: I'd be surprised if they jumped straight into a Frozen sequel instead of something completely different.

Paddington grows up to be Boog from the Open Season movies, doesn't he? That's the only way my brain can make sense of this.
