PLUTO NASH sucked balls by HEADGEEK	Nov 21st, 2007 02:09:53 AM
just had to clarify my position on that film
Beer Goggles by Kingdaddy	Nov 21st, 2007 02:10:43 AM
Man Harold...you are the epitome "Rainbow Connection". The lovers, the dreamers and me. You type reviews like drunk dialing. I love to see the passion but remember you have 10,000 geeks watching you wake up with said "love" EVERY TIME. I totally dig the passion behind your reviews...but I wonder what weight the criticism or love holds. I choose to respect the love of all of it...just like I respect a child giggling at a $5 toy. But DAMN, your 3.5 -5 star/B - A reviews REEK of the screening atmosphere and expectations and not a true critique of the actual film.

I'm drunk...and stand behind my critique of El Rojo's review style.
I have to admit, I was skeptical, too by Thick McRunFast	Nov 21st, 2007 02:13:32 AM
Then I saw the positive reviews, saw the "That's How You Know" number on the film's website, and I was sold. Anyone mature enough to appreciate (and quite frankly, prefer) "old" 2-D animation will get a big kick out of this. And Amy Adams is perfect.
I know a lot of musical theatre majors by IndustryKiller!	Nov 21st, 2007 02:17:51 AM
And for that reason alone I would probably abhor this film. Hearing a musical theatre major talk about Disney is like hearing pederasts talk about little boys, it's just disgusting. It's absurd how much htey overrate things simply because there is music in it totally indiscriminate of whether that music or the rest of the film has any merit. This may be why MOST (not all) musical theatre sucks. Not to mention that as a child I was more into the works of Jim Henson, James Cameron, Spielberg, and Ridley Scott than I was into Disney.

I bet Amy Adams grooms herself better than Vanessa Hudgens. Anyone else remember Amy as one of the co-eds JB macked on in the Tenacious D movie?
Can't say I blame kingdaddy by Thick McRunFast	Nov 21st, 2007 02:34:07 AM
I still have nightmares about Harry's BLADE II review. Not everybody can write like Ebert, I guess.
Check out Robert Wilonski's review by Bungion Boy	Nov 21st, 2007 02:35:52 AM
This is a cute film and Amy Adams is wonderful. Even James Marsden gets some big laughs. But, (as I said in my original review http://www.aintitcool.com/node /34128), the rest of the film, while perfect for young kids, just doesn't work. It's a big mess, full of ideas, but clearly written by committee where people threw out fun ideas for scenes while disregarding whether or not the scenes made sense together. If you won't take my word for it, check out Robert Wilonski's review in the Village Voice here: http://www.villagevoice.com/fi lm/0747,wilonsky,78409,20.html . He kind of nails it. He even uses some of the same words I did. If you have little kids, especially girls, take them this week. They'll love it. Anyone else will be charmed to a point but then logic will set in and drive you mad.
Ummm that makes YOU the asshole Harry by IndustryKiller!	Nov 21st, 2007 02:40:59 AM
"This guy has different point of view than me on films, HE CAN"T COME TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!" is how that last post comes off. Kingdaddy wrote a completely valid post critiqueing your reviewing style, a complaint a lot of people on this site have voiced before, and you just slag him off and gloat about how you didn't let him eat at the big kids table. Weak sauce my friend. or you know the guy and this is all an inside joke, I dunno.
I read your review, Bungion Boy by Thick McRunFast	Nov 21st, 2007 02:42:08 AM
And the nitpicking about naming vacuums and toilets was absolutely ridiculous. It's a Disney musical fantasy, for crying out loud - allow for a smidge of disbelief. You probably hated THE LITTLE MERMAID because they sang underwater.

I love Disney by one9deuce	Nov 21st, 2007 03:29:40 AM
I'm interested in this film especially for the hand drawn animation sequences. But Harry's post title is nearly enough to ruin this for me. I have to agree with the other talkbackers here, Harry has NO perspective. Honestly, I don't know if the big guy could pick out a good film from a bad film if his life depended on it. How many shit films has he absolutely gushed about? GODZILLA, BLADE 2, ATTACK OF THE CLONES just off the top of my head.

FUCK FRED CLAUS, ENCHANTED WILL BE HUGE by TheDohDoh	Nov 21st, 2007 03:41:37 AM
Admit it, this is the ideal holiday movie for the family and for dates. It's going to make a gazillion dollars, no prob. I loved Beowulf, but I really want to see a new 2D animated movie in theaters. I can't believe there's such a drought these days.
God i miss Disney... by Obscura	Nov 21st, 2007 03:43:33 AM
2D Disney needs to come back. not just the format, but the magic that Disney creates. Who'd have thought id be crying out for another Tarzan or Hercules...both average at best, but compared to Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons they were fantastic. And i'm a 3D Animator. I love 3D Animation. and 2D Animation. i hope this is Disney starting to tell great magical stories again, cos the world needs it.
If the opening animation sequence doesn't by HEADGEEK	Nov 21st, 2007 04:09:02 AM
cause you to go gaga, then this movie just isn't for you. But the film is a perfect DATE movie, perfect FAMILY movie and just great for those that want something to make them smile for days. It's that type of film. Like GALAXY QUEST or SHAUN OF THE DEAD - but for the Disney Animated Set.
SHAUN by Billy Sunday	Nov 21st, 2007 04:20:03 AM
Wow if this is really Shaun of the Dead for Disney, then I'm totally in! Flying to NYC with my family this afternoon for Thanksgiving and I know my Mom's already excited about this...and now I am too! So does Amy Adams have a scene with Patrick Dempsey where they try to decide which records to throw at James Marsden's head?

The film was animated by James Baxter Animation. http://jamesbaxteranima tion.com Check out the Wikipedia entry for the movie. Disney's 2d department is currently nonexistent and will make a come back with The Frog Princess.

Ok... by Crimson King	Nov 21st, 2007 08:13:34 AM
So I just watched the trailer again, and it does look like it could be pretty funny and entertaining, but I don't know if I'm gonna be as ENCHANTED as Harry was. And notice I said COULD BE. I will admit, I kinda miss the old days of Disney, even though Pixar has pretty much stepped up and taken over. I just hope they learn from Disney and don't follow suit. Disney used to be about quality family entertainment, now it's all about the almighty Dollar. Perhaps that's even the way it's always been, but at least they used to earn it. There used to be a time when Disney was indeed "magical." In the end, maybe we shouldn't be so hasty to pan this movie. Maybe this is the one that brings that magic back, even if it is just for one more movie... If not, well, we've still got Pixar.
Well, anyway... by Kid Z	Nov 21st, 2007 08:16:24 AM
... maybe we should give Harry a break on this one. Marrige does tend to turn you into a big, giant, Toho Studios-sized vagina for awhile. You wise up once the divorce comes and she's emptying out your house and bank account with the help of Tod, the new boyfriend and personal trainer.

If the Enchanted film is a huge hit (which it's extremely likely to be) I hope to God Disney don't pimp this to death (and we know that they will), like fucking High School Musical, via sequels, Enchanted the stage musical, Enchanted the fucking ice skating musical, etc.

If this movie by Series7	Nov 21st, 2007 09:15:37 AM
Turns out to be a huge sucesss, it would be awesome for it to get best oscar. Though it would be a long shot and a controversial. I am just so sick of all these overly dramatic movies getting plastered with "Going to win all the Oscars on it", musicals and comedies are harder to do correct then a drama. And this year musicals have all be top notch. I am not saying that this is going to be my favorite film of the year. It would just be nice to have an Oscar ceremony not congradulating downer movies, even though they are my favorite type of movies.
... My Two Cents by The Brain Machine	Nov 21st, 2007 09:17:15 AM
I was there at the screening last night, and had a good time. I love Disney animation, and love most of the 2-d Disney films. This movie has a lot of the magic of those films, but I didn't feel that the animation of the 2-d world was quite up to Disney standards. It wasn't nearly as good as good as say Beauty and the Beast, or even The Little Mermaid. Some of it had a bit of the Direct to DVD Disney sequel feel to it. I wish the animation would have been a bit better - this is Disney after all, and we need to hold them to the standards of their past - not just accept what they give us. The songs were really good, though. The stand outs being The Working song and the huge musical number in the park as Harry mentioned. I have to admit that I had a pretty big smile on my face at the end of the film, so it delivers on it's promise. It is much better than I was preparing myself for. If you want to re-capture that feeling you had when watching Cinderella or Snow White when you were 8, you will enjoy the movie. If you truly hate Disney musicals - you probably won't dig it. But it's Thanksgiving weekend, and this movie WILL BE HUGE. I agree with Harry that this should be a stand alone film for Disney. To go back and make sequels to this will not be a good thing. I appreciated how this film used the themes of past Disnay movies, but didn't have all the groan inducing pop-comments ala Shrek. Sequels will most likely fall into the same trap. Over all, a great family movie, a perfect date movie, and a lot of fun. Thanks for the screening, AICN and Disney!
Also by Series7	Nov 21st, 2007 09:18:56 AM
Its good to see Disney make something worth while (minus Pixar), because the last animated movie they made that was worth anything was Treasure Planet. I really enjoyed that movie not everyone did, but since then all there animated movies have been crap. Chicken Little? Horrible. The cow movie? never seen it. Also I say that Harry hit his peek with the Blade two review, ever since that review I've never been able to read any other review the same way. That review made me go see Blade 2 again, because i read it after i had already seen it.
Lasseter by Series7	Nov 21st, 2007 09:21:05 AM
Said no more Direct to DVD sequels for disney animated movies, hopefully that means live action as well. Aladdin 4 Juffar goes to the eye doctor. Number 3 or number 4? I wonder if Lasseter had anything to do with this movie?
Loved it by Kraken	Nov 21st, 2007 09:26:32 AM
I thought going in it might be a guilty pleasure movie, but seeing the look on my wife's face as we were watching it, and the glow we were both in during the credits, I don't feel guilty at all loving this movie.

Stop worrying about sequels by dasaroo	Nov 21st, 2007 10:17:20 AM
Series7 is correct, now that Pixar & John Lasseter have taken over Disney Films, they have thrown out the old model- there will be no more garbage dvd sequels. They WILL be going back to 2-d animation (there is a new short on the Ratatouille DVD that demos some of the new and old styles they will be using) , and will be much more careful about the quality of their live-action product. Basically, everything from here on out will hopefully have the Pixar stamp on it. As Martha S. would say, "THAT'S A VERY GOOD THING."
Lasseter by dasaroo	Nov 21st, 2007 10:23:49 AM
BTW- I was just watching Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" on my new big screen TV (gorgeous movie), and I CANNOT FORGIVE Lasseter's utterly inane intro to the movie - "World, meet Hayao Miyazaki!" What a self-important maroon. He should have said, "Ignorant Americans, meet HM!" Cause the rest of the world already knew HM was a God. Lasseter responsible for bringing HM to light? As if.

Irony of ironies: by Barry Egan	Nov 21st, 2007 10:48:35 AM
Disney had to farm out the 2D animation at the beginning of the film as they had recently shuttered their hand-drawn animation division. God bless John Lassiter!
This has been a great year for musicals. by Barry Egan	Nov 21st, 2007 10:54:55 AM

What's with all the Blade II hate? by MacTard420	Nov 21st, 2007 11:31:25 AM
So what if Harry came in his pants during the review (and probably several times afterwards). I thought Blade II was the best of the trilogy. Other than a couple sketchy CGI sequences involving superplexes, it was a pretty damn fun movie!
I'll wait till Moriarty chimes in, if ever by Pipple	Nov 21st, 2007 11:57:21 AM

Not only do I get in touch with my inner princess El Rojo, but I finger fuck her through her purty pink panties often. I'm not upset I didn't get into BNAT. I would love to go, but you didn't pick me. That's fine. Just don't sling poop in my direction for my opinions. I didn't say your reviews suck. I was simply stating some of your reviews seem to be about the "event" of the screening, which seems to add to the "magic" of the film. For example, I thought "Apocalypto" was a great film. And I'm sure attending a screening with Mel Gibson sitting next to me, drinking genuine Yucatan Jungle Juice, and having topless Mayan women feed me tamales would make me paint the screen with my Mayan Man Milk...BUT...I think some reviewers need to digest a film before they RAVE about it and how it brought their "inner princess" out. So, there ya have it. I'm not going to BNAT. My soul is crushed and I'm AMAZED I even still have an opinion on anything...
I am not the Enchanted type. by rbatty024	Nov 21st, 2007 12:59:23 PM
If this film really is as good as claimed then the previews aren't doing anything for it. I do remember seeing the first preview and being excited about the 2D animation only to be let down when real actors showed up. Isn't Disney working on another 2D film? I thought it was the Frog Prince but set in jazz age New Orleans.
Pluto Nash is incredibly underrated!! by TheMcflyFarm	Nov 21st, 2007 02:09:45 PM
From the commercials it looked like another Eddie Murphy kid's movie piece of shit, but I was surprised at how adult it was. It had clever realistic dialogue and situations in a wacky futuristic society. It's probably a masterpiece compared to this shit.
Princess and the Frog... by nonsensical	Nov 21st, 2007 02:14:38 PM

Okay... Harry and other audiences... by nonsensical	Nov 21st, 2007 02:37:00 PM
You were screwed... completely screwed. Apparently reviews and screenings of Enchanted are not being accompanied by the Goofy short How to Hookup Your Home Theater. I was very concerned about this given how great the short is and how much I want others to see it too. So I did some digging. According to Disney the short will now debut with National Treasure: Book of Secrets on December 21. This is apparently being done to get Disney's new cartoon shorts program more exposure among general moviegoing audiences, rather than just animated film audiences. Something of a mistake in my opinion given that Enchanted is a better family film vehicle. Again, I am truly sorry for you all who will be robbed of seeing Goofy for another month.

little kids in the theater by CherryValance	Nov 21st, 2007 04:26:43 PM
When I walked in I thought "OH NO!" lots of tiny tots. And to my knowledge this was supposed to be more along the lines of a romantic comedy. So when the little ones started twitching because they were bored, I had to laugh that they were stuck in there. But I really lost it when they started "EWWWWWW"ing in chorus everytime a couple kissed. Hilarious. Anyway, I really liked it but that would have been obvious to anyone who knows my movie tastes. If I had one complaint I'd probably ask for more singing. I expected there to be more. But the casting was amazing. I mean who else but McDreamy should play the Prince Charming type role? I know Marsden actually plays a prince but that's not what I meant. And Marsden was great, btw. I just want a movie where he sings the whole time.

That's why current disney sucks so much. It's too gay, not the sexuality, but the gay kind of gay.

I mean damn is your package so small, and your frequency of sex with an actual female so seldom that you only see Hardcore Sci-Fi/Action/Guy movies every time, all the time? Maybe its just that some folks in here are in the midst of sprouting their first pubes and don't want their friends to find out they have "Cars" sheets and Fap to pictures Princess Jasmine. But hey, if it's not your cup of tea thats fine, we can agree to disagree...but stop bitching about these guys reviewing these films if they are in fact well done and worth notice. Myself I have no fuckin problem watching something like this before I hit the strip club, I can appreciate both. I just want to see a GOOD film, animated, cute, hardcore, Sci-Fi..it doesn't matter, just entertain me. Oh Don't worry...I'm sure there is a review for a movie with bad acting, a piss poor script where Giant Fucking Robot Slusho Monsters blow stuff up real good while looking like Megan Fox full frontal right around the corner.

Ugh, remake the animated classics? NEVER!! by Drath	Nov 22nd, 2007 08:20:19 PM
Harry's idea to remake the classic animated movies in live action is a heresy! I love animation too much to be in favor of it. Remake non-classics like Mulan, sure, that'd be nice as that movie suffered for having all the dopy songs and truncated running time, but we don't need the live action version of Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast. I want NEW animated classics. If they'd followed this kind of shit we'd have had live action Cinderella instead of the Little Mermaid. Give us the next generation of animated classics! That's what I want them to get right. I'd welcome that crappy remake idea only if enabled the return to animation. That's the more important goal.
Isn't this a remake? by DrMambo	Nov 22nd, 2007 11:38:15 PM

What a surprise... by OptimusCrime	Nov 22nd, 2007 11:38:34 PM
Alright, this movie probably isn't my type of film and I admit it. Still...another Harry review, another hysterical rave. I'm jealous of him actually, every movie he sees is a magical instant classic.
Of Elf, with Will Ferrell? by DrMambo	Nov 22nd, 2007 11:40:16 PM
Seriously, a guy from an animated and sugarcoated world where everyone sings and crap ends up in "tough" new york? A children's movie that adults will love too? Etc...? But I loved Elf, so if this is anywhere near as good I'll still be happy.
Just to be a total woman, Harry... by Frijole	Nov 23rd, 2007 12:36:16 PM
that castle in the logo is NOT the castle at Disneyland. It is the castle at Disney World. The OLD logo was Sleeping Beauty's castle (from DL)... the NEW logo is Cinderella's castle from WDW. And yes, there is a huge difference, both in size and design.
This review is 100% dead on. by Steve_Dooku	Nov 23rd, 2007 02:02:52 PM
I saw this movie last night with my wife and two kids. It was outstanding.
Im wondering how much....? by LargoJr	Nov 23rd, 2007 07:34:14 PM
Disney paid Harry for that vacuous blowjob of a review?
EXCELLENT movie by GibsonUSA	Nov 24th, 2007 12:12:38 AM
took me by surprise
"Thanks for the screening, AICN and Disney!" by thegreatwhatzit	Nov 24th, 2007 01:19:23 AM
And thank you for the very unbiased review (NOT!)
Way off topic... by WillowFan2001	Nov 24th, 2007 11:19:53 AM
Hullabaloo Canek Canek!
I swear by Harry Weinstein	Nov 25th, 2007 12:01:03 AM
Every time I see that review headline, I think it says something about Harry peeing on an 8-year-old wearing a tiara. Then I look again and that's clearly not what it says. But I do a double take each time it pops up on screen.
Flawless movie by Anakin Whoopass	Nov 25th, 2007 11:51:14 AM
Home for Thanksgiving, wanted to see No Country for Old Men but needed something Mom would go to and ended up at Enchanted. This is a happy movie. Oh, and Rotten Tomatoes is up to 93%. Please, no lame sequels.
THE INCREDIBLES in 3D, Disney--make it happen by Mr Incredible	Nov 25th, 2007 01:16:55 PM
I'll pass on this movie.
I totally thought sequel (spoilers) by CherryValance	Nov 25th, 2007 04:26:12 PM
when Menzel and Marsden went into the toon world. Makes sense doesn't it? And it could be a classic Disney animated feature.
Yes, Mr Incredible by darth jobu	Nov 25th, 2007 09:15:51 PM
Nice call. Incredibles must return. 3D would be bonus. Budump Dat Dah Dahhhh
this film is brilliant by zooch	Nov 25th, 2007 09:18:09 PM
A real return to form for Disney. A smart funny script. The animation at the beginning looked great. Great acting all around. Adams especially, she's oscar-worthy. There's a part where her character gets angry for the first time in her life and she's both angry and excited at the same time, and it's at that moment she realizes shes is in love and Adams plays it perfectly.
I actually think this movie will make more money next week by Razorback	Nov 26th, 2007 10:34:38 AM
It is very rare for a movie to pick up business the following week but word of mouth on this is HUGE.
Just saw it last night... by Moonwatcher	Nov 27th, 2007 08:36:35 AM
and it's everything Harry said it was. I know words like delightful and whimsical aren't usually tossed around in these talkbacks, but for once maybe we could all get behind something that makes people feel good when they leave the theater.
My review... by Kingdaddy	Nov 30th, 2007 09:18:11 PM
The trailer for Alvin and the Chipmunks was first. Blissfully perfect! A chipmunk farted. Genuinely amazing! Then, in the "The Water Horse" trailer the dragon burped. Absolutely sublime! Then Enchanted managed to squeeze 3.5 good scenes into an hour and a 45 minutes. Oddly magical! The direct to video look definitely impressed all. Absolutely magical! Most of the kids in the audience seemed bored and only watched the chipmunk character. Subversively hilarious! (spoiler) The chipmunk gets scared and poops. (spoiler end) Worked perfectly! A "fun" film that 12 year old girls will see 6 times at the theater. Absolutely magic! But they did the same with The Princess Diaries 1 & 2, Ice Princess, Princess Caraboo, Ever After, 13 Going on 30, etc...All...wait for it...Absolutely Magic!
I'm really looking forward to this by Chattery	Dec 2nd, 2007 01:01:10 PM
I'm really looking forward to this, it looks like an interesting film. I'm interested in seeing what the filmmakers have to say about the Disneyesque world vs our world. Plus I'm just really in the mood for light-hearted Disney fun. Plus Amy Adams is hot. And James Marsden getting hit with bikes while serenading his loved one...nice. If I were him I'd so open my eyes and obliterate them with my optic beam.
Uhh, I think Stephan Schwartz wrote the Lyrics. by Smerdyakov	Dec 2nd, 2007 07:48:46 PM
Menken is a composer. Shades of Ira Gershwin.
Speaking of the Score, I could point out that... by C.K. Lamoo	Dec 3rd, 2007 05:01:45 PM
"True Love's Kiss" is pretty much the same tune as "A Girl Who's Merely Me" from Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella."
I think this may be the word-of-mouth smash of the year... by workshed	Dec 12th, 2007 07:22:12 PM
...everyone i know who has seen it is raving about how it feels like a creative turnaround for Disney after all those years ruled by you-know-who. BUT SERIOUSLY - Harry, a live-action Little Mermaid you sick-bastard.? Don't ever let this man swim with a dolphin, perrrrlease.
