forman-7

I have come across a few criticisms over this short, but even those didn't ruin if when I finally saw it. First off, the animation was great. I love the way they did. They basically kept Minnie and Mickey's designs and freshened them up. The only thing I can complain about was the pace, since it did move a little too fast. But I think it is a great way to evolve Mickey into current trends and it'll still appeal to teenagers. Honestly, when the classic Mickeys were put out, do you think that the time was and trends were the same? I think not.

Also, for the people that say it's too scary. I find that hard to believe. I showed this to a 7 year old, and they like it. Played three times more. I also showed it to my pops, who seemed to enjoy it and laughed at the references. So I think this was a success.

The only reason I think some didn't enjoy it was because it came as a surprise as how dark this was. I guess some people didn't catch the commercials that were being shown on Disney channel that I saw when I was like...7 or 8. Anyway, this was a great way get put Mickey in the current time. And I see they're doing the same with "House of Mouse". They actually do have some good jokes in the show.

This movie rose slightly above my expectations. I'm from Atlanta, and when I was watching this movie, I felt like I was at home. If you are from ATL, you will surely enjoy this movie.

I could relate to the characters even. I was reminded of T.I.'s character, Rashad, of myself constantly. The friends he had also had similarities to my own friends.

Also, if you're from a different city, or state at that, then it should be interesting to you. It shows different characters. The four main ones are nothing alike and each are connected but still have completely different problems.

The only problem I had was that I think this is the only type of movie, T.I. could fit in (no disrespect). He's clearly from the city, but on one scene he seemed slightly false, and on another scene he was close to looking silly.

Big Boi on the other hand had a very good performance. He also provides plenty of comic relief and still stays in his antagonistic character. The roller blading scenes were my favorite though. Mostly because it combined performance with hip hop music, which is something I enjoy.

This movie is good for anyone. It will give you a nice side of Atlanta and it stays in a class of it's own. It doesn't glorify anything negative. It may not be a classic, but Chris Robinson, Dallas Austin, T-Boz, Will Smith, and Antwon Fisher had something here. Something special.
