Disney’s D23 Expo animated film presentations: Moana + Toy Story 4 + Finding Dory + Zootopia + more!

Stephen Brooks — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:47:04 +0000

This weekend was Disney’s D23 Expo presentation so we discuss all the information that came out of that… live-action remakes, sequels, and the incredible line-up on Disney and Pixar animation film slate all the way to 2018! Stephen starts the show by giving a mini-review on the British re-dub of the Argentinian animated film “Metagol” (which in the UK is called “Unbeatables”), Rob tells a story about having poop on his shoe and Pat breaks some news. Then we’re off talking about how Furries love Zootopia, why Cars 2 might get too much hate, if Donald Trump was producing the upcoming Dia de los Muertos inspired Pixar movie “Coco” and the problem with trying to make the “definitive” version of a fairy tale. Enjoy the show!

Stephen Brooks — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:34:33 +0000

Rob and Stephen saw the new “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (2014) film… and have some words. We break it down and compare it in depth with other iterations of the franchise such as the 1990 movie, the 1987 cartoon series, 2003 cartoon series, and the original and new IDW comic book! Also, in true RubberOnion fashion… we do our own rendition of a beloved song. Listen for it! So what did you think of the movie and our review?
