tealinI will now relate my train of thought through the opening three minutes of the movie.
Those who have not yet seen the movie, and who do not want the opening spoiled for them, read no further!
I had just reached the movie after what felt like half an hour of commercials and trailers. (When will the audience revolt? Oops, digressing.) When the Paramount studio tag came up, the first thing to clue me into something being "up" was the weird little opera singer trill at the end of it. Maybe it's just the new Paramount... thingy. Dreamworks tag ... well, they always have some sort of chipper music on it but this seems a little different. Nickelodeon ... hmm, never seen the planets before. Interesting. Hey, the movie's starting! Finally, sheesh. Wait, what the... woodpeckers and hearts? Is this some short?* Hmm... a short. [sarcasm] Ooh, look, everyone's copying Pixar. [end sarcasm] Huh... introducing the studios again. They all collaborated on this short? That seems unlike them. Wait a minute.... this is WAY too corny to be real. What are they .. oh, no way. No WAY. This .. oh, this had better be The Littlest Elf ... come on, come on, Littlest Elf, Littlest Elf, Littlest - LITTLEST ELF!! YAAAAAAH!!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!**
*I hadn't known "Boundin'" was going to be on The Incredibles and when it started I was thinking "but ... this doesn't look like a superhero movie!" I thought the same thing was happening here.
**Note the Five Exclamation Points of Insanity. (See Terry Pratchett's Maskerade. Or, rather, read it, and do so after seeing Phantom of the Opera so you get the parodical elements.)
I dutifully jotted down notes in my rust-brown notebook all the way home, taking care not to be seen, and shall transform them into some sort of long-winded review over the weekend, when I am not working, or sampling cheeses.
!!!WARNING!!!
