I may be in the minority here but I think that one of the best and funniest Disney (not Pixar) movies--certainly of the last ten or so years--is the Emperor's New Groove. A large part of that was due to Kronk. So squeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Sure, it'll probably be crappy. But I can dream!

Ditto that - TENG was lotsa fun!

[nigeltde]

And all the same actors are signed on, which is always a good sign!

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

*And* they've waited a few years between drinks, which bodes well for the script.

[nigeltde]

Well, the Disney record for years-later sequels of their animated movies isn't the best (Lion King 2 or Little Mermaid 2, anyone? *g*) but hopefully they've learnt SOMETHING from Pixar by now.

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

Maybe they should just steal Pixar's entire staff and be done with it?

[nigeltde]

Short term solution. The Pixar staff would all probably die quite soon after being removed from their utopian communal happy wonderland Steve Jobs-ey environment. Dinsey would crush the pinko right out of them, and with it any creative ability and the will to live.

And then, of course, movie-lovers everywhere would commit ritualistic suicide, refusing to live without the only production company to release consistently excellent movies for the last ten years *g*

And yet, Disney has Shrek to wave in our faces. Both of them, even. *suspects industrial espionage*

[nigeltde]

Ah, but isn't Shrek Dreamworks? Hell, they're probably owned by the same people anyway *suspects international conspiracy* And at any rate your point is proved by the existence of TENG itself *g*

Although I do have to confess I found the second Shrek far inferior to the first. I didn't even finish watching it.

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

Shrek 2 is good for in-jokes and the Fairy Godmother. And Rupert Everett. I lost count of how many rip-offs they managed to stuff in there.

Oh, and it gets an extra-special vote, because: Puss in Boots. GIMME.

Huh. So I've been trying to double-prove an already-proven point? *looks around* I need alcohol.

[nigeltde]

Yes, I suspect that at some point I will have to force myself to get it again, if only to enjoy again the gloriousness of Everett and Puss-in-Boots. (Jennifer Saunders I'll always love for the first couple of seasons of Absolutely Fabulous, but every time I've seen her recently she's annoyed the pants off of me.)

*hands you a Puss-In-Boots cocktail* *dies laughing of the pun*

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

What, exactly, is in a PiB cocktail? Aside from catnip, that is....

[nigeltde]

erm...... *confesses* I made it up. But in my head it contains Antonio Banderas >:-D

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

Blended, shaken or whipped stirred?

[nigeltde]

Trussed up *g* With a liberal dash of Johnny Depp for good measure. And ice is definitely involved at some point.

[veronamay.livejournal.com]

... oh, you're evil.

*goes to find OUATIM on shelf*

[nigeltde]

*cackles*

[nigeltde]

[lainy122.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever *bg*

[nasubionna.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that movie! And a large part of that love was for Kronk. I have a feeling this will be one of the only Disney sequels (other than "Rescuers Down Under") that I will watch.
Thanks for the heads-up!

[nigeltde]

Oh man, I ADORE Rescuers Down Under.

Kronk is so wonderful! I need a Kronk icon.
