The Designated Girlfriend

We got our kids a bunch of movies for Christmas, including Toy Story 3 and Ratatouille. We're well on our way to having the complete Pixar collection, and I want to emphasis that I really love these movies. The only ones that haven't interested me are the Cars movies, because I'm not really, um, a Nascar enthusiast. I picked apart Wall-E's gender conventions earlier, but it's not because I dislike the film - quite the opposite. These are some of the best movies out there, animated or otherwise, entertaining for kids and grown-ups alike, and endlessly thought-provoking.

Here's a few more thoughts they've provoked.
