It'll be interesting to see how AVATAR translates to the small screen. Will the cliched script be even more evident without the dazzling 3-D and huge IMAX screen to distract?

So excited about The Great Mouse Detective. One of my favorite Disney films.

On Avatar, James Cameron said he would only do Avatar once movie technology caught up with his vision. I don't know, maybe to build anticipation they hold the DVD release until home entertainment technology catches up with 3-D. Too much to ask of Hollywood but I doubt they need any more money with this film.
