Hoodwinked

Fine the way of animation studio is to go towards something more 'organic'. Why not just say that the creators want something that is close enough to being human without the hassle of dealing with costumes and actors memorizing their lines?The film is probably a great way to reintroduce a tale that sublimally informs youngsters of the darker side of human nature. The big bad wolf will get his due no matter what the art form...hmmm.
Now I have an issue about always seeing famous names for the people doing voices for animated cartoons. It doesn't have to be that way as there are other creative talents with voices yearning to speak out. I know this because of years of voice work myself at lesser known sound studios. Don't know whether to point my finger at the studio for taking advantage of an actor's celebrated status to bring in a box office cache, controlling American distributors or both.

Living Among the Grizzlies

About the film on Treadwell's encounters with grizzlies:


The way to succeed these days is to do something off the wall but it doesn't mean one has to throw ones life away. The fact that this guy was able to sober up to face a challenge of this sort is inspirational but reckless. Did his girlfriend share his passion or was drawn along out of compassion? One could even say he was responsible for her death and now we're going to celebrate his egocentric prowess. Do we all care enough about bears to watch them share the same plateau, maybe not. Still because of the audacity to live among beasts known to attack humans is reason enough for the curious to go and see the film. One wonders how the man was able to stay off the bear menu for 11 summers.
