Maybe Verbinski's talent takes to water. Maybe he took inspiration from the cunning script by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio; their credits include The Mask of Zorro and a lot of bright, clever animated hits (Aladdin, Antz, Shrek). But, honestly, who cares to parse the authorship? Buy a ticket, take a seat, have a ball...
...organized by campus semi-celebs B.J. Averell ’02-’03 and B.J. Novak ’01, is hosted by national semi-celeb and former “Full House” star Bob Saget. The show features numerous genitalia jokes, the voice of Aladdin, the Disney cartoon character, and tomfoolery the likes of which haven’t been seen in these parts since the previous year’s “BJ Show...

...traveler version of Treasure Island--replete with flying galleons and intergalactic pirates--splashes lavish special effects on a colorful palette without forfeiting attention to character detail. Example: the movie's protean robot as voiced by Martin Short is the most complex, delirious cartoon sideman since Robin Williams' Genie in Aladdin. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules) take a while to get their vehicle to sail and soar. But when it does, this Planet is a treasure...
