the cartoon is dark, it is about separation and anxious issues, and it makes you cry, when you watchakes you cry. i don't doubt for one minute it will find an audience and it will be perfectly fine holiday fare, but it doesn't have anything like the classic quality of the original. and the reason is it weirdly lacks that emotional engagement. there was something about the original cartoon thatjust, you know you watch it, it is like et, you watch it and you immediately start crying, you can't resist it. in the case of this, i found it oddly unengaging, for all the things that were 0k and impressive, it never gets off the ground in the way it should do. do you think that is a trend then, that the original animation actually has more heart and soul? notjust in this film but other things that have been remade? i thought thejungle book was extraordinary, but the fact of the matter is that was, to all intents and purposes, an animated film. i don't think, there is no reason why you can't take anything and redo it in a different format and add to it. thisjust doesn't add. out of blue, which

there was something about the original cartoon that just, you just, you know, you watch it, it is like you can't resist it. in the case of this, i found it oddly unengaging, for all the things that were ok and impressive about it, it never gets off the ground in the way it should do. do you think that's a trend then, that the original animation actually has more heart and soul? notjust in this film but other things that have been remade? i thought thejungle book was extraordinary, but the fact of the matter is that was, to all intents and purposes, an animated film because so much of it was to do with cg and motion capture. i don't think, there's no reason you can't take anything and redo it in a different format and add to it. thisjust doesn't add. out of blue, which is an unconventional kind of investigation of a murder of a renowned astro physicist. it sounds rather intriguing. i loved it. it's made by carol morley, who made the falling. it is a radical reinvention, based on the novel by martin amis. carol morley said she set out to rescue the characters form the pages of the novel.

roosevelt and those editory cartoons the reason that they were so popular and so effective was, that roosevelt was the first president in the age of the modern mass newspaper of the penny press. technological developments in the printing industry made it possible for newspapers to be printed and sold for a penny. newspapers in the middle of the 19th century were like expensive magazines today. ordinary people didn't read newspapers. you had to have a certain threshold of income. but by the beginning of the 20th century, everybody could read newspapers. the president, and this also contributes to the rise of the president as the center of american politics -- reporters can with great difficulty tell , stories about a large group like congress. it's only with great difficulty. it is really tempting for reporters to tell their story about a single individual. if you have a charismatic and arresting individual like roosevelt, then it's easy to tell stories about. and so as the expectations change, as the technology changes the system selects for , those characteristics as an aside. it's
