Thanks to 1st year Scheree who leant me her DVD. It was as visually delicious as Avatar. All those patterns and designs based on illuminated books and early medieval tapestries. Beautiful. The ending seemed a bit rushed (story tempo-wise), however.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735300076419917663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672748823714736344.post-85507018750261147492010-03-10T09:14:13.614+10:002010-03-10T09:14:13.614+10:00Up, won the Oscar.Up, won the Oscar.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735300076419917663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672748823714736344.post-91265459559392564382010-02-15T21:42:14.647+10:002010-02-15T21:42:14.647+10:00The Princess and the Frog was so beautifully contr...The Princess and the Frog was so beautifully contrived. It had all the essential ingredients and heart string twangs.

The animation on the human characters, however, I hardly noticed. Now that is good animation.<br /><br />Yes, we will have an award, I think. I have been incubating that idea egg for over a year and might hatch it this year.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735300076419917663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672748823714736344.post-51866671440903743042010-02-03T11:43:37.419+10:002010-02-03T11:43:37.419+10:00haha, good idea Frank.I know the story was a bit l...haha, good idea Frank.I know the story was a bit lagging, but I'm still in love with scrag and scrag-et in Ice Age.<br /><br /> I can't wait to see fantastic mr fox (I can still remeber reading it from whoop-whoop ago) Princess and the Frog or Avatar...among others. :) If nothing else, last year was a bedazzlement of wonderful animation features. We can only hope for the same kind of content this year.<br /><br />Maybe we should have a frank awards in class???The Loud Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273705368080443961noreply@blogger.com
