Nice album, decent review.

It was difficult to review, and all in all, you did a decent job. From my point of view, I prefer to be communicated a bit of "personal emotion" rather than a critical perspective (which, after more than a century of analysis like in this case, is more or less common). View the rating from this standpoint. I wouldn’t know what else to add about the book.

Thankssss!

Well, Super, my friend, Hopper has always been a businessman (he argued with Fonda back in those days over issues related to the exploitation of the "Easy Rider" image), so I'm not too surprised. Iggy Pop advertising a UK RCA Auto insurance policy makes a bit more "sense" to me ;-)

Never loved much.

Ace!

well

"has started again," not "has restarted"

Mmm, the first paragraph is definitely debatable: if Disney (and it has started to do this recently, definitely with "Bolt") can reclaim what it considers its "right," namely filmmaking for a non-adult audience (or for adults who are still a bit childlike inside), it is also thanks to Pixar, which in recent years has worked (with extraordinary results) on scripts decidedly aimed at a more "grown-up" audience (the latest "Wall-E" will be remembered as the definitive emancipation of American animation in the realm of cinema at large), giving its sister company (remember, in terms of ownership, Pixar is currently the majority...) the chance to regain that clarity (since Dreamworks has completely lost the plot by producing unclassifiable hybrids like "Kung Fu Panda" or "Madagascar 2," all to keep up with the more talented Pixar) that was lacking in choosing the target audience.
That said, no one disputes the greatness of Disney's magical four decades (40s, 50s, 60s, 70s), even though I recall it still managed to produce masterpieces like "The Lion King" in the 90s, but here we are discussing the validity of comparing that period with Pixar today since, as mentioned, they are simply two different ways of making animated films, both magnificent.
Speaking of Alice, I must say that, while I have beautiful memories, now that I am a bit more "grown-up" ;-) it pales in comparison to other Disney Classics like "Sleeping Beauty" (which is far too underrated), "101 Dalmatians," or "The Aristocats," which are stylistically (from a drawing perspective) more intriguing. Then again, the story of Alice is certainly wonderful, but the credit there goes primarily to Carroll...
