It's called "He Layeth on High," and it's about a big baby duck who gets his head caught in a stewed tomato.

In the mid 2000s, Sean Astin recorded the voice of Rover the cat for the animated film “Cat Tale.” The star-studded cast included Stanley Tucci, Billy Idol, Fred Willard, Alan Cumming, David Cross, Jerry O’Connell, Donna Summer, Gilbert Gorrfried, Rip Torn, Jim Cummings, Elisha Cuthbert and Catherine O’Hara. WOW! Unfortunately, the studio went bankrupt, and the film was never completed. A trailer, however, does exist!

At Christmas I got the DVDs for some of those Christopher Guest mockumentaries. I really wanted them because their cast list sounded so good (I've seen half the performers in those movies in other things, and they're always funny). And if anyone hasn't yet seen these Christopher Guest movies, I encourage you to see them. Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, even that one on Netflix (Mascots, I think) was pretty good. And it certainly helps that the movies tend to have a big list of stars: Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Fred Willard, John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch, etc. They're great movies.

Our organist, Peg, is under the weather, so we have a replacement organist for the day. And I'm now seeing that he brought his own much larger organ.

Fred Willard as Buck Laughlin and Jim Piddock as Trevor Beckwith, the tv commentators for the Best in Show (2000) competition. This is Fred's third honorable mention, after Waiting for Guffman and For Your Consideration.

(Archive) Animated movie of the day: WALL·E (2008)
Originally posted: January 12nd, 2022 Yeah, we had to talk about Pixar at some point. While every movie goes through multiple iterations and changes over development, Pixar takes the concept to the extreme, with pitches that see the light of day pretty much over a decade from their first showing. This often leads to movies that are polished to a T in almost every aspect, which is the case here…sort of.
While I do consider this environmentalist piece a very nice film, with gorgeous visuals, endearing characters and a great sound design, I feel divided about its structure, themes, and just how it ends up as a whole.
Sure, every plot thread is connected, but this film clearly has two very different presentation styles and even in repeated viewings I can't help but feel the abrupt shift from a wordless narrative of a garbage collecting Earth robot bonding over time with a probe unit from space, and the high action/comedy heroics of the second. I like both for different reasons(preferring the first half) but the way they're integrated clashes a bit in my eyes, even if it may be an artistic choice of ironic contrast (the Earth is silent and Space is now noisy).
And then there's the themes. It's environmental discussion(and many other social criticisms it has), while ever relevant, feels undermined by Disney's greed. I can agree with the message(or at least the core ideas) but it's hard to not feel a bit conflicted. It's exploration of nostalgia is striking in it's simplicity though. With just a few images it says so much about this concept.
So, do I love something about the film without caveats? Well, WALL-E itself. This romantic of a robot is such lovable protagonist, and its caring nature is infectious. The relationship it has with EVE is so wholesome too, because it is defined by that attention and care.
I may not think the final blend of it's ingredients is seamless or flawless, but there's definitely a heart to it that makes it an uplifting watch.
