Tried to see Beginners tonight, but the print threatened to eat itself, so I wound up getting a raincheck. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. But I did see...
Winnie the Pooh (2011)
The latest hand-drawn Disney animated feature. It's wonderfully charming, but there's something a little off about it. Part of it, I think, was that Rabbit seemed like he had stepped in from an entirely different movie. Eric Goldberg's a fantastic animator, but I think he went a little wild with the character, and it didn't really fit with the gentle, meandering mood of the rest of the film. The animation staff list is an all-star group, though, and the hand-drawn animation still looks beautiful. It's too bad it seems like this movie was sort of a throwaway for Disney.
In the future:
- Beginners (2010)
- Incendies (2010)
The Maybe List:
- Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)
