Avatar Critical Watch

Avatar is coming in 5 days (excitement!!), but what do the critics think so far? Well, 90% of them have given positive marks, with even Roger Ebert going as far as t osay it's a modern day Star Wars. Outstanding.

Plus, IGN Movies just gave me the best quote of the year:

"Wow. James Cameron pulled it off."

Entertainment Weekly (a magazine I currently am subscribing to), gave it a good B, though says it's climx is "stupendous" .

Great job, James. Can't wait to see the final product.

The Ultimate Musical Story...

Toy Story will replace Aladdin at Disney's California Adventure Cruise Line in 2011. As the title implies above, it'll be a musical. This what I've heard to be the 1st of many things to come. PIXAR, it seems, is trying to get some of PIXAR's films into franchises. Next up? Not sure, thoug me thinks Disney might want to seize the hype the ultra-hit Up has generated and create a nice show after that.

PIXAR, as usual, continues to expand the horizon. Also, PIXAR is among the most influincial people in Entertainment Weekly's decade of people issue. Huzzah!!
