You know, I always assumed that Bonnie's Mom and Andy's mom were good friends. I mean it's not like Bonnie's mom wondered who he was, rather why he was there.

[Avaitor]

I'm just saying that I can kinda see where Doug came from, not that I agree with him word-for-word.

[Avaitor]

Uh, for whatever reason, Doug skipped straight to Bolt, skipping Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons.

Okay?

[Daxdiv]

WOW. I kind of wanted him to talk about CL first. I hope he goes back and does Chicken Little & Meet the Robinsons before tackling Wreck-It Ralph.

[Goldstar]

Uh, for whatever reason, Doug skipped straight to Bolt, skipping Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons.

Okay?

Perhaps Doug didn't see those 2 movies?

I was hoping that Doug would review Meet the Robinsons. That was an enjoyable (and underrated) film. Not on the level of The Incredibles or Toy Story, mind you, but it was still good. Chicken Little was just "eh", though. Another anthropomorphic animal movie. Been there, seen that.

Well, you would've expected him to find time for a series like this, right?

If not, this just reeks of one of my biggest problems with Disneycember- overall laziness. If Doug can't find the time to watch at least a couple of movies he's reviewing or even go on a fucking Wikipedia page for research before he starts said review, why bother doing these videos at all?

I've been interested in seeing MTR for a while now due to some comments from people on it... shame I won't see it in this special.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I watched Doug and Rob's review of Bolt in Sibling Rivalry, and in their I believe that Doug made a comment indicating that he kind of hates MTR.

[Avaitor]

I can understand if he didn't like it at first, but MTR does hold up to repeat viewings.

The second act is what kills it- all flash and no substance in the worst possible way. But the first and third acts are really sweet.

[Goldstar]

Admittedly, Meet the Robinsons suffers mostly in the middle of the film; most of the extended relatives are really only there to fill up the numbers and to pad out the story, but overall, it's an enjoyable movie and 1 of the better handlings of time travel that I've seen in fiction. Plus, it was a nice change of pace to see a CGI animated film with a mostly human cast.

[Silverstar]

Wilbur's relatives were unnecessary to the overall plot of the movie, but they were all featured in the book that the movie was loosely inspired by, A Day with Wilbur Robinson. In the book, Lewis visits his classmate Wilbur's home after school and meets his kooky family; the 2 aren't related in the book and there's no time travel plot.

The second act with the family is more or less a homage to the book. No, it doesn't further the story along any, but some of the gags were funny, and like Gold said I can't hate such a sweet, inventive movie which actually focused on humans for a change.

Doug may not have liked Meet the Robinsons, nor was it a major critical success, but it's one of my favorite Disney movies.

[Avaitor]

Well Doug just put up a Chicken Little video, so maybe he'll get around to MTR as well. I've yet to see either video, but hopefully he has an explanation for why he skipped to Bolt in one of them.

[talonmalon333]

For some reason I haven't felt the desire to check out his non-Pixar videos.

[Avaitor]

Wow, the quality of the Chicken Little footage used is dreadful.

He obviously found a poor copy of it, and didn't bother to find a better one to use.

[Daxdiv]

Couldn't even bother finding a DVD rip of Chicken Little, could you Doug?
