Yeah it's a bug, just saw it on the news...silly apple knew about it as well

This is what irritated me more. If they knew they should have fixed this! Making me almost late for work.

The millenium bug was better dealt with!

Great movie start to the year.

Cinema was nearly full at the Lowry in Manchester, kids seemed mostly entertained especially when Eugene was in the wardrobe which produced howls of laughter. Although some smaller children began running around and loudly playing hide and seek near the end which was a bit annoying.

Really enjoyed the film, saw the trailer a few weeks ago and was expecting something a bit more like Shrek which played with the fairytale conventions, but this was fairly traditional and no worse for it.

Not groundbreaking like Pixar, pointless 3D, but overall good entertaining family entertainment with some solid songs and plenty of laughs.

Caught this at Edinburgh Omni this morning and it was packed out. There were about 10 spare seats and it was a big screen room too. Loads of kids but they all behaved!

I actually quite enjoyed this, much to my surprise as I hated Princess and Frog from last year and really am not a big Disney fan at all.

They handled the story well and actually padded it out so it was interesting enough for adults to follow too. The songs were dire and lyrically increadibly weak and I really felt that they were so weak they'd have been better left out as they added nothing; albeit her magic hair wouldn't have worked!? It's a shame they spent all the money on 3D which was completely unnecessary and added nothing and didn't spend the money on a decent songwriter instead, given they've won Oscars for their Disney film songs before.

It was better than OK so that counts as a rave review for Disney from me. 6/10.

Sorry SH that you missed the beginning, they did indeed start at 10:15am which I think is a very selfish and heartless act by the cinema staff/management. A lot of people would have made long journeys and is a slap in the face for those that b*ght food from their foyer too. Not to mention the poor excited kiddies looking forward to it (like raineylb 6 year old kid). I would be insulted for being treated like that, its blatant discrimination. Alright SH, unclench your fists, I didnt mean to fuel your rage in a physical manner but a complaint is defintitely a good idea

Ok enough downer because I had a most enjoyable morning being in the company of 2 enigmatic girls, Valda and Prettyxcool, arent I a lucky guy And thanks to Prettyxcool for letting me ride on her ticket as there would have been no preview screening for me at all this morning.

I did have to catch 3 trains to get there and my first train was cancelled which meant I had to wait another half hour for the next one. But thankfully, I have a good habit of never depending on the last trains to get me somewhere on time, I always take the train before it. So instead of arriving planned 9:40am, I arrived 10:10am with the thought that I had of course 20 minutes to settle in and chat with the girls But just 5 minutes later as I opened my mouth to start a conversartion on the exciting subject of British Rail, we realised the bloody film already started.

Now to be honest, I lost focus at the beginning as I dumbly kept thinking "whoa they started early, lotta people gonna be p*ed off!" "aww, here we go again , 3D. ie 3 times Darker...wait where's the remote control I need to rewind the last 4 minutes, I wasnt listening to the narration "

The film was very entertaining. Its not reaching anywhere near the heights of the golden and silver eras of Disney but for a modern fare, its definitely good deal of fun. I thought some of the visual set pieces were quite breathtaking. And as this is an animated film, the use of 3d is actually effective in some places but I agree with Valda, it really is unneccessary because apart from the very few moments of "I can touch it!", the 3d was a distraction and of course when the parts of the film is dark, the 3d glasses make it too damn dark. The sidekick characters were immensely funny, particularly Maximus the horse who I can only descibe as a deranged horse who thinks he is a swashbuckling hound. The story was sweet but not exceptional, the humour made up for it.

However, there is still too much pop culture and wink winking at the camera for my liking. The songs are serviceable but extremely bland and unmemorable despite some obvious accompanying visual nods to classics such as "The hills are alive..." and Beauty and the Beast.

I have to nikpik being a big fan of old Disney classics but I still rate this very highly at 8/10
