Posted September 14, 200915 yr OK, for some reason, my girlfriend hates good movies (District 9 - 'Thats disgusting!!!') and likes stupid movies (Sex and the City). Apparently it has something to do with DNA, I dunno. Anyway, she occassionaly takes me to see kids movies as retribution for me dragging her to the latest Sci-Fi blockbuster. Yesterday, we went to see "Up", the latest animated feature from Pixar. It. Was. Awesome. But the almost wordless first third of the movie had me blubbering in the corner like a little girl. And I wasn't the only grown man in attendance crying into his popcorn. I garauntee if you don't mist up at least once in this movie, you have no soul. My question to the unwashed masses is this: Have kids movies gotten sadder latey? Sure, I remember Bambi's mum copping a .303, and Mufasa getting stampeded by wild buffalo. But goddamn, a kids movie reduced me to tears yesterday, and I need some assurance that its not just me lol. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
September 14, 200915 yr I really should go see it :o Another animated feature I saw only a few days ago was Ponyo, which I absolutely adored. http://i.imgur.com/wofKY.jpg Portfolio Site http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/OperationCrownRibbon02.jpghttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/opagamaserv.jpg
September 14, 200915 yr lol, even i want to see up , saw the trailer and looks hell funny haha. but yer, kids movies seem to be geting deeper and deeper and more complex. and really cant be called "kid" movies anymore, i mean just cus its CGI or animated dosnt mean its a kid movie lol. http://i.imgur.com/TLiDl.png
September 14, 200915 yr ^^agree, just because it looks cutesy doesn't mean its a kids flick. There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
September 14, 200915 yr Author Pixar is the (controlling) arm of Disney animation though - typically purveyors of 'Family' entertainment [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
September 14, 200915 yr and I need some assurance that its not just me lol. It's just you. As Chopper would say "Harden the F**K UP!"
September 14, 200915 yr You cried in a movie... HAR HAR! XRogerMellieX: "Fiancee is on night shift and I only see her on weekends. Sunday night is nookie night."

September 14, 200915 yr *Ahem* You might want to add some of this to your popcorn next time you go see a kids flick http://www.heidelbergcement.com/NR/rdonlyres/198BE3CD-8DB4-42D6-A107-F1770815FB0E/0/castle_readybag_concrete_27.jpg Aresnik [WC] Leiutenant Braaaaaaaarp!
September 14, 200915 yr Alpha Male!! *GRUNT* *GRUNT* No emotions means I'm a man! Now I have gotten that out of the way, yes you are right. It seems movies are becoming really good at pulling your heart strings these days but Pixar are the prosa. I’m sure I’m going to be pulling some seriously strained faces when Where The Wild Things Are because even the trailer to that one was making my vision blur up. Earn respect don't demand it.
September 14, 200915 yr you're all hard on they outside lol, Agreed, sad as FK movie, wanted to off myself after the first 10 minutes. one heartbreaking chi-tty situation right there ombre.... :(When swimming in sh!t, best keep your chin up! http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/3D_Gimp/bDSig2014_zpsbfe88bfb.png
September 14, 200915 yr its ok Base u can have a cry with me, my wife calls me a toasted marshmellow hard and dark on the outside but all soft on the inside
September 14, 200915 yr I was hooked the first time I saw Toy Story and noticed just how much adult humour is thread in there along with the usual happy kids story. Besides I watch allot of anime and frankly for every 1 kiddie flick/show they make there are 5 that you don't want your kids to see. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa188/VisOne_Photo/Signatures%20and%20Banners/VisP.png
September 14, 200915 yr Who has seen the new Ice ice? That movie has tons of adult humor in it and it was so bad It rocked! I preceded to lulz to myself in the corner at every joke made http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2111/shotgunreal.pnghttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/opagamahons.jpghttp://www.bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/lol.bmp Love you long time gunner <3 I like to wait till im nearly done, then pull out and yell "COVERING FIRE!!!" Ahhh. Im so glad I have a GF and she doesnt read these forums...
September 14, 200915 yr Yeah i just watched ice age 3 and it was really funny, well worth the watch http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man. It tells you not to play the second worst PR map [burning Sands] (first is Wanda Shan). QFT: if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough
September 14, 200915 yr Sure, I remember Bambi's mum copping a .303, and Mufasa getting stampeded by wild buffalo. That cracked me up . The first Ice Age was sick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy213/Frenzal/ANZ.png
September 14, 200915 yr "Up" is Pixars best movie to date IMO. And yes, that opening sequence is very touching and probably one of the best movie introductions I've ever seen. Besides, I don't think kids movies are getting sadder. It's just that a couple of studios (Pixar and Dreamworks in particular) are getting very, very good at storytelling that appeals to a much broader audience. It's probably unfair to limit them as "kids" movies when both the makers and the viewers know that they're not exclusively for kids. It's just a stigma that comes from being an animated film in Western Society.

September 14, 200915 yr I love animated movies! I grew up and cartoons and still like them. As for tearjerkers, mine is Reign Over Me with Adam Sandler... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_Over_Me I want to see this Up movie and you guys just sold the missus on it as well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/SirChuc/smokejumper3.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmphttp://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/OperationCrownRibbon02.jpg Or as one of many thousands of Canadians have said, my guns are at the bottom of that lake.

September 14, 200915 yr I found myself bawling over a film called "Freedom Writers", I thought it was a pretty great film at the same time though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
September 14, 200915 yr I found myself bawling over a film called "Freedom Writers", I thought it was a pretty great film at the same time though. that movie is so good, i didnt cry as such, but it was very touching. i want UP . . . think i might find myself a copy . . . Edited September 14, 200915 yr by crawfs http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
September 14, 200915 yr For some reasons most movies completely bore me... Horrors don't scare me and sad films don't make me cry.. (often) Its quite sad actually, i took the whole "not real" thing to far when i was about 13 The only movies i can really enjoy are comedies http://i.imgur.com/zoL1k.png
September 14, 200915 yr As for tearjerkers, mine is Reign Over Me Not to be confused with the similarly titled German porno. XRogerMellieX: "Fiancee is on night shift and I only see her on weekends.

September 14, 200915 yr I dont like anime, I havent watched animated/ cgi movies for a long time, I did watch and like toy story way back in the day.. But im not to keen on alot of the new stuff.. its all to colourful, bubly, kiddy'ish and musical / dance related for me.. And I never cry! Fear is another word for weakness.
September 16, 200915 yr I usually fall asleep during every movie i watch. Its like my brain is being fed information instead of having to think, so it switches off. [/url]http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/nodachi7.png
