MOVIES: Big Hero 6 on the lineup from Marvel

TALK BACK: Brave
It’s been a while since Disney/Pixar released a animated movie that wasn’t A) a sequel and B) hasn’t been hyped as the greatest thing since chocolate ice-cream. This weekend saw the opening of Brave across the country.

Happy Father’s Day from Disney/Pixar’s Brave

SHORT FILM: Little Quentin
When I saw this pop up on my AppleTV, I knew I had to check it out. Little Quentin is very good, and if I had to describe it I would say it is Roger Rabbit meets Very Bad Things meets Toy Story.
“TOY STORY!”?
Oh, yeah, you’re gonna want to watch this to the end.
