Tom & Dinosaur Hand:

Tom and Dinosaur Hand present
Hey, Movies!

Dinosaur Hand: Stop! Before you start looking at your crazy, super eclectic list of movies, let's review something fun!
Tom: Oh. Okay, I like fun too. It's just like sometimes I like movies that make me think and delve deep into the...
D.H: Yeah yeah, blabba blabba. I say cartoons! We have seen a few cartoon in the past six months. Cartoons are FUN!
Tom: Sure. Go ahead then.
D.H: Sweet. Remind me, what cartoons have we seen lately?
Tom: Oh, now you need me. As far as animated features, we've seen a few. Although maybe your viewing could have been a bit foggy through your greasy popcorn fingers.
D.H: Let's not go there.
Tom: I'll rattle off a few, starting with The Lego Movie, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, How to Train your Dragon 2, The Boxtrolls, and Big Hero 6.
D.H: What about Frozen?
Tom: Did you want to admit you saw Frozen?
D.H: I liked Elsa, she was a psycho frozen crazy-ass ice queen bitch. Look at her Eyes!
Tom: Scary. She had mad powers.
D.H: Ooh, ooh! Let me tell you my favoritest of the cartoons. I loved Boxtrolls! Oh, and there was a nutty girl in that movie, too. She was different.
Tom: Winnie? Might you expound a bit? Different?
D.H: Oh, well obviously Winnie is the chick, and she finds Eggs, who is the main character kid who was raised by the Boxtrolls who everyone in the town thinks are dangerous but really aren't so much and Winnie is a bit odd - she is somewhat deranged too, probably has daddy issues- and Winnie likes
danger and gross stuff and helps Eggs ( he wears an egg box ) and I don't want to give anything away, but, everyone lives happily ever after.
Tom: Almost everyone.
D.H: Oh. Yeah, almost everyone. Hee.
Tom: Good movie, stop action. Also Richard Ayoade did the voice of one of the misunderstood thugs. Great voice, funny.
And check out the soundtrack, I especially liked Little Boxes.
Next, did you like The Lego Movie, Dino?
D.H: Are you kidding me? Who didn't? Everything is Awesome!
Tom: Ha, I see what you did there. Lego was pretty manic, way over-the-top, and generally hilarious. It had an Academy Awards nominated song, too.
D.H: Might I say... ridiculous, but Awesome!
Tom: Yes, awesome, and pretty good. If you want to watch one unique animated feature, then this would be the one. It broke a few molds and was intelligent and fun in the process.
D.H: You say process like a smart guy, like it's a hoity toity word or something. I hate it.
Tom: What's next? lotsa movies on the list today.
D.H: Yawn. Um... How to Train your Dragon 2 was fine. It's got dragons - bunches of dragons. Mr. Peabody and Sherman was good. New movie based on an old TV cartoon. Time travel and stuff. Sentimental and fun. Who doesn't like a boy and his dog movies?
Tom: Only this was a dog and his boy. You skipped right by those two. Last review and you can chill, Dino. Big Hero 6; did you like it?
D.H: Uh huh. Disney movie, had all the Disney stuff, like death and cuteness and goofy characters and danger and you know, happy endings. No duckies or kitties. But the robot was fluffy and non-threatening and kind of huggable.






Tom: Yeah, Big Hero was good, but basically formulaic. After seeing this and Frozen, I think Disney has definitely taken a back seat to other studios, like Pixar and even DreamWorks.


D.H: Sure, but what do you know? You're just a shlub with a dinosaur hand!
