JV - Cha – the first part of the movie was rather slow, but it got better as the
story began to flow…
I just saw it again today with my dad and sister. Dad liked it, and I got to see
the Ratatouille trailer for the forty-sixth time. 
I’ve seen MTR twice and I thought it was alright. The
one thing thing that bothered me was Wilbers voice. He sounded way too mature for a 13 year old.
As much as I love Wilbur, I
admit I was weirded out by his surprisingly low 13-year-old voice, and there were a few lines he spoke that
didn’t sound so low, which was even weirder.
Perhaps boys mature faster in the future.
Heheh.
~~=oP
Cha – I noticed that, as well. Wilbur’s voice seemed to
be alot higher in the trailer for the film…for some reason. And then when you listen to him talk in the movie
itself he sounds five years older than he really is. Odd, but it does kinda seem to work… 
Yeah, it does fit him. I like
it. 
~~=oP
PV and Wilbur, sittin’ in a…
Ok, I’ll stop. 
And here comes Tony to chop it
down. 
Silly Mitch.

I just have one question.
How is the music? What I mean by that is if
it’s the type of movie with wall to wall contemperary pop and rock songs with almost no orchestral musical score
to speak of like most of Dreamwork’s Animated CGI Films and Chicken Little. Basically spitting in the face of
the musical genious that is Danny Elfman or is it mostly brilliant and wacky music score by Elfman with no more
than 3 songs that really compliment the movie and fit the sequences they are in such as like in Over The Hedge
which had only 3 songs all of which were very fitting and well intergrated into the score. No jerky stops and no
lame fade outs. The songs intergrated perfectly into the music score. They blended.
So which is it?
Bealive it or not this will effect my decision to go see it. I know Im a wierdo.
The soundtrack includes 10
tracks by Danny Elfman and 8 songs by Rufus Wainwright, Rob Thomas, The All-American Rejects, Jamie Cullum, They
Might Be Giants, and Jonas Brothers.
I’ve been listening to it infrequently. It’s no
Incredibles soundtrack, but it’s good. It’ll probably catch on if I listen to it
more often. So far, my favorite song is “The Future Has Arrived” by The All-American Rejects.
~~=oP
Second
time watching(in 2-D, need to see in 3-D at some point), I actually noticed some other things like the Jungle
Book and Toy Story 2 signs at the baseball game, a “3-D, just a fad?” thing on a board at the science
fair (could easily be applied to either the 3-D format or CG animation either way in my book) and like a lot of
people seem to be talking about: the 2DBB203 license plate (2D Be Back, though the 203 seems rather ambiguous in
meaning)
Interesting thing I found about Wilbur’s voice actor on iMDB: He voiced Charlie Brown in some
2002 specials.
PV and Mitch -
I noticed that Wibur’s voice was different too. Specifically with the “to the future” line. I was
wondering “what’s going on?” !
And no, I will not add to this whole thing you guys are
having, about certain cartoon characters. You know what I’m talking about.
Even if Wilbur’s voice
is a little low, I still love it to death. It fits. And hey, maybe he just
developed early. No one grows up the same, you know? XD (I hope you guys know that ‘XD’ is a face. I’ve been
trying to abstain from using it, but I give up. So, if you didn’t know… it’s a face. Pretty much equilivent
to ‘lol’. …XD)
Now, as for the soundtrack- I actually really like it! Danny rarely disappoints me.
Although the bonus track ‘Kids of the Future’ is kind of annoying (and that is in no way related to Danny’s
awesome score- I think that was just Disney being lame…), the whole CD is still rather fun. If I had the
booklet with me, I’d point out which score tracks are my favorites. As for my favorite actual
song on the CD, I’d say ‘The Future has Arrived’, like PixarVixen. (Even though
it was played in the credits.)
As far as how the music fit into the movie, personally I think it fit in
well. 
No abrupt ‘transistions’ aka ‘anti-transistions’ as I call them, and the songs all fit into the
theme and story pretty well. I say it’s definately worth the buy, although as PixarVixen said avout the
Incredibles soundtrack… I say, it’s no ‘Finding Nemo’ soundtrack- but it’s cute.
:roll: They attach lame Disney
Channel bands to movie soundtracks so they have something to play during commercial breaks.
Pheh.
~~=oP
I’m hoping I’ll see this film today- it looks interesting ^^ Kinda strange, but more
promising than most cartoons that have been released lately.
That “Kids of the Future” song is
annoying- especially since I recall hearing “Kids of America” with something to do with Jimmy Neutron a
while back, and it seems “Kids of the Future” was just re-done to the same tune. =P

Kids of America was in a lot of movies released
in the 90’s, not just Jimmy Neutron. Kids of the Future is like a copy and paste of bad lyrics over the old tune
of Kids of America. 
Pretty annoying. Especially because it’s one of Disney’s emo-pop bands that I really
don’t understand. Ah well.
Wooo I saw it. ^^
Wasn’t my type of movie, but awesome nonetheless. A big pick-me-up, since I was thoroughly depressed over having
to go back to school tomorrow =P
I recommend anyone who hasn’t seen it to see it. It’s pretty
interesting- not half bad for a Disney film. Lasseter was executive producer
FONY - I’m glad you liked
it! Did you cheer when John Lasseter’s name was displayed on the screen? I did… (snigger)
I did have to stifle a scream,
lol. xD
I knew there was something fishy about the film. He was the reason why it was good. And the
reason for the ad of TS2 in the baseball field. ^^
Hey now, not that I don’t want to give John any credit… but I also don’t want
to rob the original creaters of it either. This movie has been in the making quite awhile, and I’m pretty sure
John only popped into the picture about a year ago- so it isn’t ALL John. I’m thinking John just had a few
changes made in certain scenes, etc; but I wouldn’t say the film is good solely because of him. That isn’t
very fair.
I’m also not picking on you Fairly Odd New Yorker, a lot of people have been saying similar
things and I just wanted to put in my own two bits.
I just meant if I knew he had something
to do with it at first, I’d’ve gone to see it without a second thought. It was a lot better than I expected,
though I can’t compare much with the others since I never saw Chicken Little.
I’m psyched to know Nicole
Sullivan played Franny! xD I’m a daily viewer of MadTV so that was cool that she had a part in it.
My
favorite character was Goob. ^^
And the villain (forgot his name) was hysterical. I love his animation-
his movements and satanic grins. xD
