Before the movie started, I was treated to a fine example of why Disney needed to buy Pixar. All of their non-Pixar productions just suck! The finest example of this was the upcoming "Beverly Hills Chiwawa".
Yep, Disney once again pulled a whole lot of nothing out of it's corporate ass and decided to put talented CG people to work on -- making dogs talk? I was no fan of the "Phantom Menace" but at least the CG people did some really cool stuff. I can't imaging being a Disney employee that has to take the time to digitally move a dog's mouth up and down to some dead headed script for eight hours a day.
I find talking animals really damn creepy. I don't want to know that my dog or cat can magically move its mouth and speak in the voice of a famous actor or actress. It's chills my bones to the core. All I think about is possessed animals that will vomit pea soup while their heads are rotating around.
Come on people. There are so many great creative things that have changed the face of movies for decades to come. Do we really need more talking animals. Did Benji or Lassie have to talk? I think "Wall E" was a great example of that. There didn't need to be dialog to show emotion or action. If Wall E had a little animated mouth, it would have shot the whole show to hell.
Please, I'm begging every animation studio on the face of the Earth to get away from the talking live action animals. Just stop it!! I don't want the next dog I pass on the street to look at me and as where the nearest fire hydrant is.
