Yay I finally got my Beauty and the Beast DVD back... I think I might go watch it today at some point. I haven' seen that movie in about six years, so it'll be fun!

Um... today was cool, I guess. I'm pretty tired after getting to sleep at like 1:30 last night... so I'll be heading off to bed early tonight, haha.

I was talking to Shaina and Jessica today about how some movies just get marketed totally wrong. I think it has to do with American's preconceptions about fantasy and animated films. For example, the The Golden Compass, which was definitely NOT a kiddy series by any definition of the word, as dumbed down and marketed towards children. And because of that, it bombed at the box office.

Also, that got me thinking about The Iron Giant and how it didn't do well thanks to it's ad campaign... yes, some kids did love that movie, but it was a pretty dark movie and the trailers didn't make it seem like it. Shaina and Jessica both said that they thought that movie was boring when they saw it in elementary school, but I think if they saw it now, they'd really enjoy it. (Heck, Shaina's favorite movie is The Incredibles, and that's also Brad Bird.) I know I did when I watched it a couple of weeks ago. (I need to get that on DVD...)

So yeah... just sick of how the entertainment industry treats fantasy and animated films as automatically kid's movies. Not like there's anything bad about stuff for kids, but some films just... won't be enjoyed as much by kids in general.

Don't know if that made any sense... what do you guys think?
