...teach. Maybe that's salutary for the wee ones, but I'll bet they, and their elders, prefer the subsidiary creatures, who in the movie's better moments crowd the screen and take over, like the Preston Sturges rep company in The Miracle of Morgan's Creek and Hail the Conquering Hero - or like Scrat the Sisyphusian squirrel in the Ice Age pictures. In Mad 2 we get some penguins and a lemur, all balm to the comic spirit...

...polls to cast a ballot in his first U.S. election. "I like this fellow Obama," he said in Spanish. "I agree with my daughter that it's time for a change around here, and he seems to have a more open mind than McCain." Basurto, who doesn't exactly hail from Ecuador's lily-white élite, is also pleased by the fact that Obama will be America's first black President. "The world likes Obama better too," he adds. "I think he's going to be as popular around the world as the dollar...
