Be Wary of Gimmicks by

One of the big problems is that when something using a particular gimmick is successful people think it's the gimmick that's responsible for the success. that and it's easier to just use gimmick X than to actually put together a quality movie. (or book, or whatever.)
I enjoyed Shrek not because, or in spite of, it being computer animated. I enjoyed it because it's fun.
The medium should be chosen not because it's this week's cool thing, but because it will serve to effectively present the story.

Seconding the point about traditional animation. by

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.

Then you'll know how to upkeep the Wikia (ppc.wikia.com). I don't. So, you have good skills. Goody!

Tolkein, yeah. And just about 50% of your local library. If you really wish to know,
Books
Gail Carson Levine (Ella Enchanted, Two Sisters of Bamarre, Ever, etc.)
Louisa May Alcott (Little Women, An Old-Fashioned Girl, Jack and Jill)
Alexandre Dumas (The Three Musketeers)
Terry Pratchett (after a while, I got tired of hearing inside jokes I couldn't understande and read some Tiffany Aching)
Tamora Pierce, although sometimes her extreme feminism gets annoying "Wow, I beat up three guys who told me I couldn't be a knight 'cause I'm a girl. Hur hur hur." (Circle Opens, Alanna series, Immortal series, and a lot more)
Ludlum (Bourne trilogy)
Narnia, of course, and CS Lewis' Screwtape Letters
And lots more, lots and lots. Mah.
I, too, ventured into Harry Potter and decided to escape quickly. Twilight is more... sappy, but I did the same with that. Actually, I take that back. All the rabid fangirls are scary. And, um, doncha think that Beren+Luthien is way better than Bella+Edward?
Well, you're here and that's all that matters.

I Have read the original series, as well as a lot of the others. I'm like a lot of fandoms but the ones I'd like to protect and the Star Trek and Jak and Daxter ones. slightly off topic, but I admin a wiki devoted to the Jak games (jakanddaxter.wikia.com).

What's with the conspiracy... by

...to turn all of my beloved childhood classically animated characters into freakish computer-generated monstrosities? Is classic animation just not good enough for you people anymore? What is wrong with you? In my day, we didn't have computer animation, except for Reboot, but that wasn't an awful rehash of something else! We had to walk nine miles in the snow to...
But anyway. I must give props to Justin Timberlake for taking on a role like this. I'd say he's about worked off the uncoolness brought on by N*Sync by now.

Thank you, and likewise! :)
I'm not giving you any sort of look - I read Ella Enchanted when I was younger and, while I must admit I couldn't get into it and mostly enjoyed the film for the musical numbers rather than anything else, I can see how people would like it. Thank you for the box! Indeed, it does look like it will be useful.
I'm in the Tolkien fandom - both LotR and Silmarillion. I once took a tentative step into the Harry Potter fandom, but found it frankly scary and have retreated into Middle-earth.
How about you?

shouldn't it be OMV? Never mind that, who doesn't like a ring that blows up stuff? Although, he probably shouldn't have taken it... what is it with Feanor and jewely thingies?

Experimental physics, ooh. Cool.
Meh, we're Sue-haters that send out figments of our imagination into other people's imagination and kill them and bring back trophies and laugh about it later and personally I'm in love with explosives and you're telling us not to hurt you...
Nah, we won't. Really. Really.
Seriously.

Since you already have several presents, and are going to get so many more you can't count them all, my present is a 'fairy box' from Ella Enchanted. Hey, don't give me that look- the book was pretty good even if the movie wasn't. And the box will expand to almost the size of a hot tub, or shrink to the size of a charm on a bracelet without damaging the contents. Good for keeping stuff.
Anyways, welcome! What fandom are you, again?
