I don't know what Shardian could possibly be talking about.  If by "original" he means, copy the Doc Hollywood script scene-for-scene, beginning to end, then, yeah, I suppose I'd call it original.  Otherwise, I think I'd call it unoriginal.

I really want to see KFP, and I think I'll love it.  But I doubt it's as good as Pixar's best.  I think you just forget how magical Toy Story was the first time you saw it.  I also doubt it will be as good as Monster's Inc. or The Incredibles (or even Toy Story 2), but I could easily see it topping Cars, Bug's Life or even Finding Nemo.

I LOVED Ratatouille.  And I've seen tons of Ratatouille merchandise for kids, so I'm not really sure what Shardian is talking about there either.

I hope I'm not ruining anything for you, or maybe you already knew this, but Jackie Chan does the voice of Monkey.

Great! I love Jackie. He was totally cool in Canonball Run, so this must be good too.

without getting into the pixar discussion (why are talking about pixar again?) I thought this movie was great, and this is coming from a guy who cant really tolerate jack black anymore. the "anime" scenes were downright amazing.... basically I liked everything about this movie, it was cute, funny, and entertaining; made for kids enjoyed by adults.

ChoiceStriker:
Heh, thanks for getting the thread back on track, Malenko.  ;)  You're right, the opening sequence was one of the highlights of the film - it reminded me of Samurai Jack.  I was glad to see the movie sustain its momentum after that.  Did you stay through the credits?  There's a nice little bonus scene at the end that's worth checking out.
 

ChoiceStriker:
Aw man, that sucks.  At our showing, all the previews were incorrectly projected and matted.  You're right, stuff like that really tarnishes the experience.  And then the theaters and studios can't figure out why attendances are down.  Um, let's see... I can pay $30 to buy tickets for my family of four, pay $11(!!) for a large popcorn and soda, sit through 15 minutes of commercials and 15 minutes of previews, listen to some obnoxious ass's phone interrupt the movie, have my seat kicked, etc. etc...

Or I can wait 3 months, pay $18 for a DVD I can watch over and over again, view it in the privacy of my own home, pause and rewind as I please, have better sound and no projection problems, and eat my own food at non-extortionate prices.  Tough decision.  Nowadays it's only the huge event movies I feel compelled to watch in the theater and have the whole experience, for better or worse.
