...still raving about it. The first Toy Story racked in $225 million and launched computer animation as a viable film medium - but more significantly gave us an engaging storyline (like Aladdin, it appealed to kids, teens, and adults - it raked in virtually the exact same gross). But the sequel - which grossed $81 million over Thanksgiving! - is even better. The animation is better, the story is self-consciously perfect, and Barbie makes a much needed cameo. But the real question is whether Pixar - which has made three incredible movies so far - is going to split from Disney which takes much...
...Story 2 is no ordinary sequel. It's an absolute miracle--the type of movie where you shake your head and ask, "How did they do that?" But even more, you don't want to know the answer. Let the wizards at Pixar work their magic. We'll just enjoy the product. (And a whole lot of us seem to be enjoying the product.

Directors wanted their name attached to the project, producers wanted to finance it, etc., etc. But after a prolonged, tortuous attempt to translate Hannibal into a viable screenplay, Jodie Foster has officially refused to reprise her role as Clarice Starling. Anthony Hopkins, meanwhile, is still all for one more meal...
...knew that writing Hannibal guaranteed him a mammoth paycheck--$10 million minimum for the royalties and adaptation rights. So what does he do? He collects on the advance, putzes around for 10 years, and convinces us all that he's writing the sequel of all time. The book hit stands in early June and promptly divided the critics; most agreed, however, that Harris had infused his carefully written Hannibal with profound themes and delicate character textures. What a joke! The book, in a nutshell, tracks Clarice in yet another search for Lecter and gradually going insane...
