Empire Magazine recently published a very thorough and interesting article called “Your Guide To Disney’s 50 Animated Features.” If you’re a Disney-phile or an animation buff like I am, it’s well worth your time to read. The list includes a few behind-the-scenes production details that help flesh out your understanding of the films.
In particular, I was fascinated to revisit the films from the early 2000’s. Specifically films like Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear and Home on the Range. I’ve given those films their fair share of guff, but it’s important recognize that they weren’t the flops that some people made them out to be and – perhaps – aren’t as terrible as you remember.
Compiled as a whole, Disney’s cinematic accomplishments are astounding. It’s easy to heap praise on the standouts like Peter Pan or The Lion King. But I am much more interested in how the so-called “lesser” films have been woven into the tapestry of the venrible studio’s history.

Empire Magazine recently released images for three covers they’re using to help promote X-Men: First Class. This is the cover that caught my eye.
Nicholas Hoult looks a little more convincing as Beast. But Jennifer Lawrence’s Mystique looks drowsy with a receding hairline. I don’t care how much cleavage you show, you’re creeping me out, Jenny. The cover is obviously ‘shopped. They couldn’t have gotten a better picture of her?
If you want to check out the other two covers (including Michael Fassbender as Magneto) swing over to Empire Online and check them out.
What’s your take on these new images? Also, when did Empire Magazine become a total fanboy rag? I used to think they were one of the classier, “high-end” movie publications. Did I miss a memo?
