I can't believe Shreck beat Monsters Inc. for the first best animated picture. Walt Disney would be turning in his grave "if he wasn't frozen solid".
Like what...maybe your call for movie of the summer...Atlantis? Shrek has the higher box-office total, set records for DVD sales and took home the Oscar for animated films. Shrek is undisputably the better animated film of 2001.I cant help but wish that there was a better representative for a first time winner than Shrek.
Actually I like Monsters Inc almost as much as Shrek (kids like watching both about equally), but feel that Shrek really was the better movie. I also wanted Shrek to win because hopefully that will help Disney wake up and return to doing what they do (or should be doing) best. Besides, with all the Disney supporters around here, someone has to take Shrek's side!Anyway, I know that you love Shrek, Johare. I figure that Shrek is a flash in the pan that will be about as relevant as the smurfs in a couple of years, but hopefully Shrek 2 will prove me wrong about that.
Sorry...I just don't care for it when people still say that Shrek didn't deserve the award. The movie was widely praised by critics, had a huge box office take, had record DVD sales AND won the Oscar. I'd say that Shrek does a great job representing animated films. As for Atlantis, I didn't enjoy it and neither did the general public or most of the critics, I guess that's why I still find your "movie of the summer...rush out and see it, then see it again" comment to be funny. <p> btw: Congratulations on the baby boy. We just had a baby boy back on Dec 8th...our 3rd.Hmm...my first post in months(just had a baby boy!), and once again Johare your response seems more like a personal attack. Yes I liked Atlantis but I certainly would not put it up with other Disney Greats like Lion King, etc.. It was a fun movie but not something deserving of an oscar. That said, just because I liked that movie does not mean your opinion is any better than mine
Actually I like both movies, however I do feel that Shrek was the better of the two films, plus with all the 'Disney cheerleaders' around here I figured Shrek needs someone in his corner. Also, just in case your keeping track, unless Disney comes up with something better than Return to Neverland (which I hope they do), my pick for next years Oscar is Ice Age!We all know that you like...I mean LOVE Shrek. Now seeing that we are on a Disney Board, then surely you must know that some people on here LOVE Monsters, Inc., and that their opinion is going to be different from yours
I'll take that as a compliment...at least you didn't call me a donkey!Why must you be such an ogre?
