Happy Feet

Watched 'Happy Feet'. *tap-tappitty-tap*

Cute little penguins that didn't look as cute grown-up as they did when they first hatched. Its quite a musical-ish animation.

I wonder now if kids will be interested in taking tap-dancing classes. When there was 'The Sound of Music', I bet all those eager mummies sent their precious darlings for music classes to see if there was a budding 'Maria' lurking in their child. And there's been a whole spate of cheerleading movies like 'Bring it On' which kickstarted the whole cheerleading thing. Not to mention there are a lot of dance movies like 'Honey', 'Take the Lead', 'Shall We Dance', 'Step Up'. which had the same basic overused storyline but oh, such gorgeous and sexy dancers. Dance centres probably had their profits soaring after those shows were released unto the unsuspecting public.

So lets see, they've done talking animals, dancing penguins, what's next I wonder?

'The Barnyard'. A bunch of partying animals who are much more intelligent than what their owners give them credit for. To think about it, in every animal-based animated show, the humans always end up giving less credit than due to the animal intelligence level.

How cliched. Its getting a teeny-weeny bit boring seeing the animals have their own world while we humans are so oblivious to it. And the jokes are getting a little stale.

Oh well, I wouldn't mind watching talking animals, but please please inject some fresher punchlines and not use the same storyline/plot for every show. I know that its an animated show and you gotta have a happy ending so that kiddies will watch it and love it and make their mummies and daddies buy them the merchandise that brings in so much profit, but the least they can do for all that profit they are raking in is to not be so cliched and overused.

All said and done, this animated shows really draws the kiddies in and it kinda gives you a feel-good feeling. *grinning away like a lil kiddy*

Went to Italiannies for lunch. And I'm ashamed to say that for once, I failed to finish the food. *utter humiliation*. My clean record for finishing yummy food at restaurants has been blemished by that darn lasagna. But the servings were humoungous, ok. And I had mashed potatoes and some meatballs earlier on.

Still had space for chocolate and chocolate hazelnut ice-cream later on though. =p

Met An Yi and Jun King in 1 Utama and they were rushing back for classes. Hehe. Saw a few people I knew, but that is to be expected, seeing that this is 1 Utama and practically everyone comes here.

Sadly, I only bought 'The Economist' and nothing else. =(

Not too productive in terms of items bought, but in all other aspects, today was rather fun.
