One of the most original animated features in a long while has just landed at a theater near you, and I’m very pleased that director Shane Acker’s 9, produced from his original Oscar-nominated short into a feature by Tim Burton, has opened at number two at the box-office, with a $15m take.

Witch Mountain, Super Friends, and Disney history!
News reviews, plus catching up on some Disney history! |
|
Super Friends: The Lost Episodes
These episodes saw the last of ther Wonder Twins, and a lot of cheesy plots. But darned if I wasn’t entertained. |
|
Race To Witch Mountain
Disney’s modern update of its own 1975 thriller isn’t as shameless as it might have been, providing the same kind of thrills for today’s audience that the original did back in original release, but the discs are very poor in terms of supplements, making this Race a rental at best. |
