A special thanks to Derek for coming on the show!
Can’t find the podcast. It doesn’t seem to be on the page.
I’ll take a look. Thanks Mark
The audio is fixed now.
Cool. Look forward to hearing it.
Yeah, there was a lot to talk about!
Steve: A little advice. Don’t give up your day job to be a singer.
ha! What if my day job was being a singer?
Steve Norton ha!ha!
“How much is our enjoyment of the film tied to the original?” Great point. People need to watch the movie and judge its own merits. A hard thing to do. As I have said before, I think they greatly improved on the original. I wish I could have been there to participate in your podcast. 🙂
Amazing… good job Steve.
Thanks, Cassy. I appreciate the encouragement.
I think a good question to ask would be: how do people view the film who have never seen the animated version (if you can find anyone)? That would be telling.
Good job. I loved the intro song.
I couldn’t listen to the whole thing. But I see both sides and I have to see the film again with a new outlook. Plus I did miss 20 minutes of it apparently when they go back in time to bells infancy.
Thanks, Cassandra. I loved your input from before as well. It was definitely ‘slower’ than the original–gave me food for thought on why.
Good stuff, guys. It sounded like you both liked the movie better at the end of the podcast than you did at the beginning. 🙂
I can’t speak for Derek but I did. Personally, I liked the movie more than I’d expected–that helped the conversation. lol
Yes
