favorite scene: I liked the opening scene in the royal dining room. The attention to detail was simply awesome.
I liked the "Every time I've entered, I've failed to win. So, by the sheer Law of Maths, I must have a really good chance this time" scene.
I liked the Sea Monster scene, too.
audience reaction: N/A. I was by my lonesome self.
2nd audience reaction: There were two brats and five adults in the auditorium with me. And I didn't hear much of a reaction from any of them.
recommendation: I liked this movie. They really did a great Claymation job of it. Go see it with your little brats.
spoiler alert! This movie took liberties with History to make itself work. A whale would never survive an impact like that. When the cannonball hit the painting, the canvas didn't get pulled away from its frame. Cutlass Liz ran Peg-Leg Hastings through with a sword during the awards ceremony. Yet, he was shown alive and well near the end of the movie.
fyi: When they first went on shore on Blood Island, a storefront to the right could be seen with a big sign above it which read: Napoleon Blown-apart. And, to think, I thought that I was the one who originally came-up with this wordplay!
I enjoyed that bit about dunking a cookie 'cause I've done it myself on a number of occasions. And, yes, a piece of cookie would break-off and plop into my cup of coffee, too. Ha, ha, ha.
The Internet version of this movie gives a different reason for the invention of the Airship: "But, mostly, it's for looking down ladies' tops." Hear, hear!
You can use a Baking Soda/Vinegar mixture as a Fire Extinguisher.
Sit around for the Bonus Scenes during the Ending Credits. They have some funny ones.
A disclaimer at the end of the Ending Credits says: "No Dodos were made extinct during the making of this movie."
word of advice: If you believe, you can achieve.
tidbits: After the movie today, Monday, April 30th, I headed-off for work. I took the shorter, more direct route thinking that it would get me to work a little bit sooner. But some Cal-Trans workers were trimming the hedges on the Redwood Street over-pass and had to close the right-hand lane to traffic. I ended-up being two minutes late for work! There's got to be a "Murphy's Law" somewhere in there ....
After work, I told Edward, a co-worker of mine, that I had a craving for Sushi and that I'd go eat it at the Empire Chinese Buffet in Vallejo, CA.
By the way, the Chinese owner's hot and sexy daughter doesn't work there anymore. No wonder I've been gradually losing my craving for Chinese food.
Anyway ...
After I was assigned my seat at the buffet, I went to the men's room to wash my hands first. The Mongolian Stir-Fryer/Sushi Maker was in there washing his hands with soap and water.
That's a good sign, I said to myself. I can trust this guy to make some Sushi for me.
Then, he went to use the urinal!
Wait! What ...? Ah, shouldn't he be washing his hands after doing his "bit-of-business" at the urinal--not before?
The thought of Sushi with pubic hair all over it bounced around in my head. Yuck!
I ate Chinese food, instead.
