That's interesting to know; it's well known that Lasseter made both Cars films as passion projects, your response is kind of proof positive (if it were needed) that he does know what he's doing, and made a story well-suited to car enthusiasts.

Yeah, there is an argument that they needed a new title to make the story seem new and appealing (especially as they already have 'Mickey and the Beanstalk' in their back catalogue). But their initial press release said they wanted it to be the definitive Jack and the Beanstalk… which they've guaranteed it won't be by…

You think laziness can be intentional? 'Love is an Open Door' rhymes the central phrase three times, and TWICE it rhymes it with 'more'. It's uninterested in finding anything evocative; the words are just a filler to match the music, and not even interesting filler. And the other lyrics don't make up for it - for…

Her, it's a husband and wife team - Robert Lopez is a decent composer who has worked on a number of great musicals. Kristen Anderson-Lopez is a terrible lyricist who can barely manage multi-syllabic words and is so unimaginative she rhymed 'door' with 'more' five times in the space of four songs. The lyrics to both…

Yeah, 'Tangled' at least has a few connotations with some bearing on the plot (though I'm sure there's a better title for it somewhere). 'Brave' is ridiculously irrelevant to its plot and themes. 'The Bear and the Bow' is about the central conflict of the movie as an image and as a metaphor; it references not only two…

The composer is fine. It's the lyricist who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near musicals.

And songs by the team behind Frozen. Hard pass.

As a character arc it would in theory be an interesting one, changing someone who was compassionate about the Hosts (to the point of abandoning the human he arrived with) into someone who could so easily rape and murder them. Turning a white hat into a black hat - that's a good arc.

I'm right with you. It's an interesting enough concept that I'm curious what they had planned for their season finale so I'll carry on for the last couple of episodes, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to stand a second season of it. Unless the plot speeds and smartens up considerably over the next two…

But as the reviewer says, so much of it just feels like filler. Think about Maeve's story, think about how much screentime she's had in the last five or so episodes. Now think about where she is at the end of this episode… has she actually come all that far? Every scene with her is presented as a big change without…

I really hate the bland and unevocative one-word title trend that seems so popular with so many production studios today… and yet I must confess, as a guy, I'm not sure I'd like 'Rapunzel' as much as I love 'Tangled'. And 'Frozen' has so little in common with its source material that a new [bland] title was perhaps in…

"Balls"

What really bugs me about 'Let It Go' is that it's presented as an equivalent of 'Defying Gravity', not just sharing the performer but also deliberately emulating that 'End of Act 1' feeling (and I believe it's even been name-checked by the writers as inspiration), which would be fine… except for a couple of important…

There's still time for him to vote on November 28th though, right?

Indeed (several still technically do but have been colourised - with varying degrees of success).

Could also nitpick that many more than 97 episodes were lost but a number of them have been found or reclaimed from overseas copies, but I understand the brevity desired for an introduction.

That's the sort of thing they could do for next season in advance, and then use it instead of the breaks in broadcast we've had.

Impressed by the pretty accurate Boris Johnson, but was hoping he'd embarrass himself a bit more.

Schwartz is a mixed bag - some of his lyrics in Pocahontas are pretty good, others seem really lame. And yet look to Hunchback - there's some brilliant lyrics in there (the lyricism in 'Out There' is just sumptuous). Even more so if you look to the stage show, where 'Made of Stone' has a great rhyme scheme plus very…
