Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (2010)
A Horrid Slap in the Face to fans.
I can't quite put into words how much I was disappointed in this.
I love HTTYD, especially for the flight and fight scenes, I enjoyed the dialog and the film was fun.
This "film" doesn't deserve to be packaged with HTTYD. It does literally EVERYTHING wrong. All the character don't interact with hiccup except for one scene, he's just there because he has to be, and of coarse he has the "smart" part at the end.
Toothless is seen for approximately 10 seconds and only in the background! he was the true star of the original film, the only reason to leave him out would be to cut cost due to animating him. He doesn't do anything funny, make a sound, or interact with anyone. They get him in the film in the beginning and thats it.
All the shots are static and simple, no artistic merit behind them at all, the background seemingly thrown together in 5 minutes by a studio intern.
The dialog, dear god the dialog is atrocious, consisting mostly of clarifications and terrible puns.
Gobber: "A BONENAPPER!"
Ruffnut: "A whatnapper?"
It's so atrociously bad that I'm actually saddened the original voice cast returns. It shows me they will lend there voices to anything as long as they are paid.
Do not watch this, it will be very painful to anyone over the age of 3.
WALL·E (2008)
My Favorite Love Story
Pixar can do no wrong.
It's been more than two weeks since I first saw Wall-E and in that time there is not a day goes by that my mind turns to this brilliant film. There are sequences that are so well done they approach the sublime, especially between the two main robots. Wall-E's journey to hold EVE's hand is one of the most romantic portrayals that I have ever seen.
The soundtrack is a wonderful work of texture by Thomas Newman.
Is there flaws? Yes, every film has them. The humans occasionally feel out of place, both the live actors and CG versions. John Ratzenberger's character had an unnecessary amount of dialog. Though to be honest I think they only look bad because in contrast the robot animation is so spectacular.
The best Pixar film yet, and a Romance that will last to the end of time.
