That's true.
So, the poll: Woody and then Rex, currently, at least... 1st place isn't really a surprise, but Rex? Although I love this guy, I would have guessed Buzz - he is kind of the second face of Toy Story, and his "I'm your father!"-moment in the second movie is still awesome (and I'm suddenly wondering how many kids got that one...)!

Yeah but the mouse is immortal and doesn't care who watches or dances along with him as long as someone does. It represents the uncaring face of big business to me.

If you watch closely, it's Mickey that whistles to get the old man a chair. I was a little shocked by your response because I thought I was showing Disney fans something they may not have ever seen, & I thought that would be kinda cool addition to the tread. Disney isn't really the ideal American company, so I do understand your point of view. I admire animation done by hand, as opposed to computer generated. I just see it as more of a true art form. When I see that short film, I think about how each cell was drawn by hand & how incredibly long it must have taken; a true labor of love.

Is The Mouse running out of plot ideas? Frozen was a twist on the "saved by true love's kiss" idea, and Aladdin had a male protagonist, but unless we just shift entirely to animal heroes, I think there are few new plot ideas out there.

And ethnicities too. Maybe that could try Inuit (not very colorful scenery there), or Eastern European.

Or would they dare take their animation into PG 13? I'd like to see an adaptation of Garth Nix' Abhorsen trilogy. But it has some bloody scenes.

I voted for Buzz mainly because he had to adjust to realizing he wasn't a real space ranger. Honestly it was a tough choice but in the end Buzz won out for me.

Honestly if they need plot ideas I have plenty though probably only one or two are appropriate for kids.

Wait, what happened to Buzz's father?


I have not the slightest bit of an idea, but considering the reference, I would say, he did the Skywalker-thing.

Frozen had a less budget (150 Million) than John Carter (250 Million), and Frozen made one and a half billion dollars, while John Carter made 280 Million with a budget of 250 Million. Fail!

Just started watching it. I have a theory maybe Frozen was all a hallucination inside Anna's head and the scene where Elsa's magic made her lose her memories was really her getting beat up by Elsa because she was born into an abusive family.

Then she would snap out of it and find out that history happened the way it did in real life.
