Tinkerbell and The Lost Treasure @ IMDB
Just…just don’t ask.
The 9/9/09 is a packed day this year. We have Beatles Rock Band, my son’s birthday and the 10 year anniversary of the release of the Dreamcast.
The overriding feeling I get when I think back to those days was optimism. Everyone was hoping that the games would look as good as they said they would. Hoping that this really was the start of something new.
Hoping that Sega would get things right this time.
This is the third time I’ve started this review. Now, that might sound like a bad thing. It isn’t, this is a superb film. I just can’t get my thoughts down in a coherent way so what to do?
Bullet points!

So we get The Sun. I’ll admit it. We don’t get it ever day, mainly on Saturday for the TV Guide. Here’s this weeks:
Tanya moves in? Crazy. Anyways, I flick through it looking for anything interesting when I see this:
Argh!
Argh!
After sitting in a corner for a while and calming down I take a look at it again. Some parts catch my eye, like this one:
The size of a real baby? A real monkey baby, surely. Also I note that the monkey is to be enjoyed by ‘Adult Collectors’ which is an opening for a joke that I won’t even touch.
What else?
Why would it need a free dummy?
Oh. That makes sense. I guess.

The very first baby monkey doll? Collector quality vinyl? Her eyes will look trustingly into yours? What freakish world is this that I have stumbled into? Surely it can’t be that good?
Alright, so it is. If I’m going to trust anyone it’s going to be Kathy Barry-Hippensteel. Hell, with a surname like that I’d trust her with my child. I’m sold. How much?
Maybe not. Bring me one playing tennis, then we’ll talk.
Quentin Tarantino once said that he makes two types of films: He makes films like Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs. Then he makes films that characters in those films would go to see, things like From Dusk Till Dawn and Kill Bill.
The ultimate example of this — Grindhouse — was a commercial failure so maybe it’s time for another Jackie Brown? Or maybe it’s time for a Tarantino version of WWII starring Brad Pitt leading a brutal group of vengeance obsessed Jewish soldiers?
I never like it when proper scientists can’t explain stuff.
Like when they find weird unexplainable things in space.
Let’s hope it’s Vulcans and not the aliens from Independence Day. Fingers crossed!
Ah, claymation. Before this new fangled CG nonsense if you wanted 3D kids films you had to work until your fingers bled. The question was, though, why would you bother. This style of film has never been that huge in the cinema, despite it’s footholds on TV.
A fair old while ago I posted this trailer for a Japanese film called Machine Girl.
So as previously discussed the kids film market for CG films has effectively split into two main camps: Pixar and Dreamworks.
