Quote: "Ah, you must mean the seeing his life flash before him scene. The bionic reference was class!"
Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed that. The rest of the movie didn't really do it for me, but seeing the Bionic Gingerbread man pleased me immensely.
Quote: "what can I expect from a kid's movie anyways"
A lot, I've seen some great ones - Shrek 1,2, The Incredibles, Cars, etc.
I end up watching these because of my kids. Most do suck, but they mostly suck because I actually expect something from them. Others are just fantastic. I had no such expectations with old school Disney animated movies, but Pixar has really raised the bar.
Come see the WIP!
