JOURNAL - The Incredibles and Operation Dumbo Drop
Sunday, November 28, 2004
Yesterday I spent some time reworking this website to incorporate
blogger. I am so far happy with the results. There are a few little
nick pick things to sort out, but overall things are good. During the
time that I wasn't site designing, I watched two films, "The
Incredibles" and "Operation Dumbo Drop".
Operation Dumbo Drop was on ITV1, it was basically a Vietnam story telling of how a small group of five had to transport an elephant across Vietnam without getting killed, ending with them and the elephant parachuting out of a cargo plane. It's a Disney film and was based on a true story. I laughed at the jokes and enjoyed the film starring Danny Glover and Ray Liotta. I'd recommend it as one of those random films you catch on TV that turn out to be quite entertaining. (Recently also seen "An American Werewolf in London" and "Holiday for Love" which were similarly good).
I went to see The Incredibles at the cinema. I loved it. It was brilliant in every way. The jokes were original, they didn't rely on pop culture for their laughs and they didn't setup a sequel (despite the opportunities). The storyline wasn't from a Disney formula either (as with Finding Nemo). My faith in Pixar has been firmly restored and I look forward to their ventures without Disney. Without spoiling anything, I'd like to mention a couple of scenes I particularly enjoyed: 1. The kitchen family argument scene. 2. The flying choppers after Dash scene.

How wonderful it is! Today, I had seen the film - "The Incredibles" this afternoon, My father also had seen this film in this evening. This cartoon movie is powered by Disney Company.
In this film, I love the people's sensation, scene, bugbears. The scene is so sublime.
With the great imagination.
