Unfinished version of Disney/Pixar's 'Up' leaked online: SEE IT HERE!
Well, that headline should bunch up the panties of my still-MIA Disney flack, Andrea Throw-some-vowels-together. She still doesn't call or write, after I called her hypocritical, knee-jerk bluff about my post after a screening of Ratatouille noting that a lot of children got bored and headed to the lobby. She said that violated some previously unknown Disney policy of no advance reviews (not even of an audience, I guess).
Of course, the very same day, Time magazine and the New York Times ran glowing reviews of Ratatouille and Disney's "policy" was nowhere to be enforced.
Anyway, the loonies at FunnyorDie.com put together this spoof of Disney/Pixar's Up, opening Friday. It does a brisk job of spoofing the studios' increasingly cliched strategies, including vocal work by John Ratzenberger and Randy Newman's songwriting. The short may be more entertaining than the movie.
Check it out before someone like Andrea cries foul and demands it be taken down.
