Gothamist saw Finding Nemo this weekend, and while it was cute/sweet/nice, we were more affected by the previews. Basically because the previews of children's movies were stultifyingly awful (except for Will Ferrell in Elf: Physical comedy, Will Ferrell dressed as an Elf, how can you go wrong?) - it was almost enough to make us vow never to have children. Example, Brother Bear, which was dripping with treacle and messages. Also, if Disney thinks that having a movie with songs by Phil Collins is a draw, then Gothamist understands why the company has been so troubled lately. We wonder, do people, when they turn into parents, lose their taste?
Slate's Chris Sullentrop analyzes Pixar's current strengths with Disney's weaknesses. We went to the McDonald's website to learn more about the Finding Nemo Happy Meal (hey, Pixar can make sea creatures very cute and Jen is partial to cute bizarre things), and thought the McDonald's "disclaimer" of "Hey, Kids, This Is Advertising" is ridiculous and amazing.

Deja vu. That's EXACTLY what we thought yesterday at Finding Nemo. Sinbad? bad. The Rugrats movie looked horrible; the Looney Tunes movie looks like a giant loogie hocked on Mel Blanc's grave; and Brother Bear looks like the dvd-only sequel to Pocahontas. (Did you know she had an eskimo brother? Neither did she!)
The worst of it: we were in DC, where, unlike NYC, people don't openly mock bad trailers, so we had to seeth silently.
We didn't even get to see Sinbad or The Rugrats movie. We saw Brother Bear, Looney Tunes, Good Boy (Puppy From Another Planet), and Elf. Plus Pixar's The Incredibles, which looked good too, but I counted that as part of the movie. And we couldn't openly mock the trailers, because we were afraid the small children would beat us with their Finding Nemo toys from McDonald's.
Do you think that the McFish sandwich is available with the Finding Nemo happy meal?
