Viggo Mortenson is again a charismatic mystery man involved with organized crime. This time, in a script by Steve Knight (Dirty Pretty Things), it's the Russian mob in London. Naomi Watts plays the innocent trapped in a toxic...
...While the combination of cheap drinks, touchy French people, and stripping firemen could have and, in fact, should have resulted in an iffy situation, it didn’t. Maybe it was because we were in a firehouse, or because the drinking age is 18. Maybe the French relaxed vibe completely engulfed us, but it was simply a memorable night...

That movie changed animation history, as Walt Disney had in 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Like Walt in his early genius period, Lasseter saw that the secret of an animated movie is story...
