Flamin' and Arcade Myself!

I was watching animal antics on U-Tube recently. You know, dogs, cats. rats and ferrets playing around and doing their tricks. Proud pet owners show them on video because it can all be very amusing and entertaining. You can also get some very useful pet care information from experts.

Imagine my dismay when I saw a video by one sicko pet owner who filmed his ferret killing and eating a live young mouse on a floor in his home.

The mouse was simply tossed in front of the ferret who took its time killing the poor mite and then hauled it away to eat. There was no chase, no thrill, no competition – just a downright bloody spectacle.

At first I was horrified. Then I thought why can this sort of garbage be allowed on U-Tube which is a very public site. Do we accept mentally unbalanced people publicly displaying sickly scenes like this? I’m sure a lot of pet owners like me would not support such actions.

It’s not only with mice and ferrets. There are also other videos on U-Tube, like snakes eating rats. God knows what else if you go searching for it.

I mean would you really want to watch that kind of thing? Do you want your young kids to?

I hope the bosses of U-Tube read this and maybe do something about it. I’m all for reality and teaching young people the facts of life but killing creatures for the sake of macabre entertainment is just not on.

What do you think? Do you have an opinion? Let the world know for the sake of our pets as well as the moral aspect.

It’s said we live in a sick society. It seems like that when you witness the killing of pets for entertainment.

With 1995′s Toy Story Pixar forever changed the way we watched animated movies. As great as classic hand-drawn animated films like Snow White, The Jungle Book and The Lion King are they just don’t pop off the screen the way that today’s three dimensional CGI films do. Though oldtimers might argue, movies today are more visually arresting and immersing than ever before. Pixar has continued to raise the incredibly high bar they set with Toy Story, somehow managing to outdo themselves with each new film they release. Up is no exception to that trend, and the film has become an instant classic and is one of the contenders for the title of best film of 2009.

While most of Pixar’s early films were light and fluffy their most recent offerings Wall-E and now Up have introduced more emotional depth. In this latest film the storytelling is so powerful that you will find yourself a helpless passenger on an emotional roller coaster throughout, and you’ll feel an empathy for the characters rarely elicited in an animated movie. There were plenty of moist eyes in the theater when I saw this film, and a few people were openly crying.

Don’t let that fool you into thinking this film is a downer – it is not. Sure there are some poignantly sad moments, but that is just part of the emotional roller coaster I mentioned above. Like all Pixar films there is plenty of humor as well, and once again they’ve struck the perfect balance of comedy that will appeal to children and adults alike.

Also, like all Pixar films the voice acting is top-notch. Ed Asner of The Mary Tyler Moore Show fame does an Oscar-worthy job voicing the main character, the once gentle but grown cantankerous Carl Fredricksen, who sets off on an amazing journey to fulfill a promise made to his deceased wife. 9 year old Jordan Nagai is also great voicing Russell, a young wilderness explorer who is swept up in Carl’s adventure. Fans of the TV show Cheers will recognize John Ratzenberger’s voice. A Pixar movie regular he always seems to have at least a bit part in each of their movies.

Up, like Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Wall-E before it, is a movie that will be enjoyed by viewers of any age, and this clever animated film more than holds its own on the list of contenders for the title of the best movie of 2009.
