Seconding doctorlit, first of all. I like "Flight of the Navigator." If they could take the same story and present it with nice effects, that would be okay, but you know that isn't what they're planning. No. So it's going to stripped (of its charm), polished (a flaming urple), and then rammed down our throats with the rest of the tripe.

Second--and this is actually unrelated--I get the impression that ~jarredspekter has no soul. How does he get off deriding "Avatar" for having a cynical, bitter message and then turning around and claiming it has no story and no point? This does not compute. Especially not when he's doing this in comparison to "Terminator" (which actually has the SAME MESSAGE, if you ask me; at least in part).

Jerk.

~Neshomeh, who can't understand why the ideas of tolerance and responsibility for our world, in any packaging, are so offensive to some people.

Remaking...Flight of the Navigator?

They will pay. They will all pay.

*people start dying*

But that could be just me. I was sad when Disney announced that Home on the Range would be their last 2-D movie ever, and was mildly elated when that didn't turn out to be the case. That said, I don't want to debate this.

I love the old 2D movies, even the cheesy Disney ones. No matter what anyone says, the original Disney stuff was good, along with the rest of its ilk. (Brave Little Toaster, anyone?)

Kids' stuff now is... almost creepy. I mean, yes, there's this, and it's teetering on the edge of the Uncanny Valley--but there's this one show called the Backyardigans. I think they're supposed to be farm animals? I can't tell if one's a bird or a fish. Or maybe it's a pig... No, I think it's a snail. Yes, it does look rather like a claymation blob given eyes.

It seems that people are forsaking quality and story for the sake of flashy 3D. Sometimes the 3D isn't even all that flashy--sometimes it's downright disturbing. I mean... Donkey Ollie. DONKEY FREAKING OLLIE. That thing gave my friend nightmares.... -gulps Bleeprin- Augh. Sorry. I think that thing scarred me permanently.

...I'm ranting, aren't I. I'll stop now.

I loved Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin and all them - I liked Toy Story, too, but that was about it for the CGI movies. Disney made a huge deal out of the fact that The Princess and the Frog is traditional 2D animation and it was a great movie. Regardless, the moviemakers are pouncing on 3D films that make me dizzy. What, may I ask, is wrong with 2D films and hand-drawn characters?

That said, I never watched Yogi Bear as a kid so I'm not overly attached, but this remake still looks pretty bad.

I highly doubt I'll go see this. *shakes head*
