Great reviews Cara. I’ve never seen 9 but from what you say it sounds like something I might like
I’d be very curious to see what you think, Mike–especially because I feel like most people would be harder on it than I was. But then again, seems like almost everybody is a tougher critic than me…lol.
It just means you take more enjoyment out of life unlike horribly cynical losers like me 🙂
Bahaha. Ohhhh hush now. You’re the one running around interviewing famous people!!!
Thanks so very much again Cara! Your review looks great on the site and lovin’ seeing the BSR logo over here too 🙂
I think that’s a great point you make about the way ‘9’ is rated and how awkward the PG-13 label is attached to something animated. It does very much leave the movie open to a very select niched audience. I have not really thought about that too much, I guess b/c most of the animated films I have seen have been, yeah, PG or under. I think the most recent Studio Ghibli film I saw — The Wind Rises — might have been the last (and only) animated thing I’ve seen rated like that. (I don’t really count the South Park movie or anything like that in there haha) .
Bahaha yeah I think it’s pretty much a given that South Park is going to have an adult audience pretty easily, and I think the Studio Ghibli/animated stuff has a pretty solid audience, too, but it gets iffy once you step outside stuff like that. Titan A.E. comes to mind. I think it actually has a PG rating, but I remember seeing it way back when and thinking it was mostly for adults. Those types of films are the awkward teenagers of the movie world. Hahaha.
Oooh! Titan A.E. wow I completely forgot about that one! (Still ain’t seen it though. 😦 ).
I like the description, the awkward teens of the movie world. Perfecto. They really are. And then there are those that really push the boundaries of their ratings. . .i.e. Antz — which if I remember rightly has a pretty violent sequence of events in it for its modest PG category. Those films are equally awkward!!!
Oh wow! You’d forgotten about Titan A.E., I’d forgotten about Antz! Gees I think I even saw that one and was like, “Whaaaaat is this???” There’s another example of animation that weirds me out… *shiver*
Very nice, Cara Gale! I’ll go give it a look!

Yaaaayyyy! 🙂
