Is Pixar’s ‘Brave’ Just Another Disney Princess Movie?

March 2, 2012Erik Kain

I’ve been singing Brave’s praises now for quite a while. With the release of each new teaser, the movie looks increasingly brilliant. A strong female lead – and this is Pixar’s first – and gorgeous animation only make the Scottish fantasy setting even more amazing. But not everyone agrees. Otaku Kun thinks we’ve been here […]

Five Reasons You Should Be Excited About Disney’s ‘John Carter’

February 26, 2012Erik Kain

Ignore the critics. John Carter looks like an awesome space-and-sorcery adventure. It may look like cheesy space-and-sorcery – a high-tech reimagining of Star Wars replete with the latest CGI – but John Carter has plenty to be excited about. I have no idea if it’s going to be a great film, but I’m definitely looking […]

Disney Should Make a Country Western Animated Musical

September 9, 2011Erik Kain

I’m not really a country music fan. I do enjoy alt-country groups like The Avett Brothers, and I enjoy a few country artists like the Zac Brown Band and, lately, a few of Josh Turner’s songs, but for the most part I’m pretty uninterested in country. However, I do listen to country music on the […]

What if Pete from Disney’s ‘Pete’s Dragon’ Had Been Black?

September 9, 2011Erik Kain

I hadn’t seen Pete’s Dragon since I was a kid, so when I watched part of it with my daughter last night, and realized that Pete had actually been a slave of the Gogan family, I was pretty taken aback: I also couldn’t help but think that it would have been a much more powerful […]
