Re: Oscar predictions, anyone?

[sugar_spun]

ParaNorman was pretty okay, but I feel like Wreck-It Ralph was definitely the best of this year. Probably the best Disney movie since Lilo & Stitch.

Brave might win, but I feel if it does it will win on virtue of having female characters and relationships and the Academy likes that. I don't feel like it actually deserves it.

ParaNorman has a really strong chance, though. Wreck-It Ralph might be off-putting to a lot of people because of the video game angle. I honestly feel it was better, though.

Out of curiosity, is your username from the song "(Song for My) Sugar Spun Sister" by the Stone Roses?

Re: Oscar predictions, anyone?

It wasn't, but I do like that song. :)

Honestly, I'm a bit put off of WIR because I saw a review which talked about how it focuses more on the Sarah Silverman character than the title character...

Spoiler Alert:


It does.

I don't care because her character is my favorite, but it is kind of weird.

Re: Oscar predictions, anyone?

Well, her story becomes the more important focus of the actual plot, but I don't feel like it focuses more about her feelings than it does Ralph's. They never abandon Ralph's side of the plot, but it becomes intermingled with Vanellope's and a bit overshadowed by it. Ralph actually has a character arc, which Vanellope doesn't, exactly.

I also felt like I was really going to hate Vanellope coming into the movie, but I didn't. I don't like Sarah Silverman, I don't like obnoxious kid characters, but I ended up really liking Vanellope. She feels like an actual little girl with real emotions, and I really understood and empathized what she felt like. I didn't ever feel like we were seeing an adult reaction or an adult's version of a child's reaction, but a little girl's. It makes some mistakes with characterization and the plot, but very few.

What really struck me about the movie was that I had all sorts of expectations about how they'd end up portraying certain characters, what sort of stupid cliches and archetypes they'd go with, but they never did. The characters were consistent and likable and genuine.
