I have heard recently that they are coming out with an Independence Day 2 and 3.. so this might be the most excited I have been for a sequel since The Mighty Ducks! Let's hope that these live up to my hype or at least are as half as good as the first movie. It seems like when talking about a sequel to a movie that came out so long ago it becomes really difficult to assume it will be just as good. However the new Toy Story comes out soon, and while it is the third of the series, it seems like I probably won't like this movie as much as the old one, but seriously how could I. I am not 20 years old and while I still enjoy animated films (cause they are funny and still somehow have great story lines) but it just won't be the same. While I can only hope that it is, and I will probably go see it on its opening weekend still, so I bet the makers won't care as long as they can make some more money and with all these people recapturing their childhood the movie is one of the surest things in the movie theater since.. Star Wars.

One of the best things about animated films, Pixar in particular, is that they fit adults and children the same. The kids get the enjoyment of the characters doing childish things and saying things that they understand to be funny. However, there are also a fair amount of adult innuendos. I remember watching Finding Nemo when I was probably 14 and first realizing this. By putting these adult jokes into the films it keeps the adults attention and kids completely overlook it. Im very excited for the third installment of Toy Story!
ReplyDeleteLook for the messages. While kids movies do offer cool characters and ideas for kids, there is some moral fiber there for adults to look into. I can't remember where I read it, but I saw a list the other day of common themes throughout kids movies. I think Antz showed the idea of not giving up on your dreams and following them through fruition.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit I enjoy the latest kids movies when I take my little brother out to see them, they are for the most part pretty decent I've found.
My sequel of choice this summer? Iron Man II. Ready ready ready.
