Re: a sentient... rag doll?

I started to watch "9" today. I got 15 minutes in and stopped. I wanted
to keep going, but I knew Jo would want to see it too, so I made the supreme
sacrifice and stopped until she was available to watch it. It does look
quite good though.

In the realm of seeing connections that don't exist, I was amused that
Elijah Wood did the voice of #9.

It's the pseudo-3D-like-ish animation I hate. "Brave" was very good, except
for the 3Dishness of it. (Also I hate that all the people had pumpkins
instead of heads.) Same thing for "How to Train Your Dragon" -- good story,
excellent backgrounds, fake-3D is stinkers.

I wanted to see "Up", I wanted to see "Monster House", I wanted to see a
pile of other animated movies, but the animation style was really painful.

Ah, but Bugs Bunny, "Treasure Planet", "Hercules", "Little Mermaid",
"Hunchback"... Now *that's* great animation!

After only a short bit of the film, it looks like "9" also has excellent
animation.

Yup, that's true. In my encroaching old age, I'll retreat into crotchety-
ness and harrumph around that when it comes to animation I'm right and
everyone else is wrong and it stinks that I lost the animation wars.
