Probably the funniest line and deliverance of the year from Disney Pixar's BOLT! The pigeon banter. Go see the pigeon banter!Okay, I must admit I was not enthused about getting in line - albeit the line was short and those who waited in that line for about 15 minutes were the only ones who attended the 4:40 show. I was even kind of fine with going to, the concessions stand to get popcorn, nachos, candy, and drink for my entourage, hoping maybe I would miss some of the movie. Luckily I did make it back into my semi-worn-out stadium seat before the opening scene when a little girl (voice of Miley Cyrus) picks out a doggy in the window and names him BOLT (voice of John Travolta).
Truly Disney, as I thought about Woody's laughable line to Buzz Lightyear -- "You are a toy!", with a keep you watching story line. The second act may have stayed a bit longer than needed but the (sometimes difficult to keep together) third act was clean and on point in that it wasn't anti-climatic, and offered a maybe predictable but a smart resolution. But all in all I loved the pigeons!
The line for TWILIGHT - which also opened this weekend - was four times as long and outside of seeing this dismal rated pic for myself, I was pleased with the cinema bucks spent.
Ciao Y'all.
