There are two movies this week. One is the animated movies... is it
"wall-eye"?

JoeBarber
Its "Wall-E"

T
You know where I stand on these movies

J
IIIIII know.

T
I actually think the worst thing that's ever happened to cinema in
America was that they now give out an award for animated films... an
Oscar for animated films ... thereby encouraging people to make these
disgusting little movies

J
Well, in the first place, Tony, those films are made for people who
have children.

T
Yeah.

J
But anim---

T
Well, I have children. Let 'em watch Westerns. You know...

J
But animation can really be something special and that's what the
folks at Disney did. They really revitalized animation when
Katzenberg was helping to run the studio, and they did things like The
Little Mermaid, and The Lion King, and Hunchback of Norte Dame and
stuff like that.

T
I had to watch those things 30 to 50 to 10,000 times in my house. And
I just could not wait... my children could not grow up fast enough, so
that I didn't have to watch that slop anymore.

J
Well, you were showing your kids stuff like Bambi and Song of the
South, for goodness sake.

T
Right. What's the... the only one that I've ever liked is Lady and
the Tramp. I've liked Lady & the Tramp. It's, like, 80 years old.
But... anyway... go ahead. Wall-E.



J
...Pixar are the guys who've done this brilliant run of films for
Disney the last few years including Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo,
and Cars, and last year's Ratatouille.

T
All junk.

J
No!

Jean McManus
No! You're so wrong! So wrong!

T
Okay! All right! I'm wrong! Okay!

J
And as I've said on this show before (and will continue to say,
obviously, for however long we continue): The great thing about the
Pixar movies is that they are made with everybody in the family in
mind, in that they appeal to both kids as well as adults.

T
You like these kinds of movies?

JM [noted hater of musicals]
Well, not this one... this one does not ring my bell, I have to say.
But Finding Nemo and Ratatouille were adorable movies.

J
This is not the kind of raw, [based?], embracing kind of film that
those were, or that, say Kung Fu Panda... has been. But if you're
someone who likes a bit of adventurousness in your films, I'd give it
a shot.

Nigel
Mr. Tony, what'd make this better: Instead of a robot, if they had a
chimpanzee in a suit cleaning up the planet.

T
That would have been much funnier. And you're telling me.. you're
recommending a movie to me where you say for the first half-hour, 1/3
of the movie, nothing is said?

J
Well, no, there's a lot of physical action and...

T
Robots.

J
and comedy like that and the dialogue...

T
Animated.

J
...yes, is very static. There's not a lot of talking. But the
kids...

T
I'd rather crack eggs on my head.

J
As I say, the kids I saw it with, as well as the adults, really
enjoyed it.

T (mumbling)
Okay.

J
I'm giving it 3.5 stars. I think it's very entertaining.

(unknown)
Wow. That's a lot!

J
Yes.

T
Not going to this one.

Terrence Briggs, with a little something for everyone :-)
Peace to you...
