I always find at least a little something to "oooohhh" about in all Disney

feature animation.

They're in no way slackers. They do put out a heck of a product - but they

are not going to please everyone.

'The Simpsons' take aim at current events and trends, something that is easy

to do on a weekly show where you have the chance to keep up with the times.

When you have a Disney animated feature production that can take three years

to do, where's your ability to keep current with the latest thing?

No, they have to go for more timeless stories and ways of telling them.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of animated musicals, either, which is why I

liked 'The Iron Giant' so much.

Phil Collins won't need to worry about where his next paycheck is coming

from, but he does add to the musical misery, don't he?
