I thought the animation in Mulan was very artistic and beautiful done, much more so then in Anastasia. All though Anasasia's animation was very good, it was also typical. In Mulan, it was obvious the animators tried to replicate traditional Chinese art without over-doing it. And they did that to great effect! Also, I thought it wonderful to have a strong girl character in the movie that could do the things the boy's did only better, and not just some love-struck girl character like in so many other animated features. Mulan is the kind of role model I want my little girl to have! Another refreshing quality was the fact the "bad guy" was not an inhumane monster, but a real person. This had a terrifying effect on my four year old! She was more scared by the Huns in Mulan then I've ever seen her while watching an animated feature (including Rasputin in Anastasia). I liked Mulan, just for the animation alone. And my four year old daughter absolutely loved it! And, after all, isn't that what is important in any Disney animated feature! CHRIS >film since Aladdin.

More often than not, these films entertain the wee ones in the family while everyone else remains, quite frankly, bored. This is most certainly the case with the tepid _Doctor_Dolittle_, in which even star Eddie Murphy seems bored. One critical miscalculation stands at the forefront of Betty Thomas's reworking of the 1967 film based on Hugh Lofting's stories, and that is the casting of Murphy as Dr. John Dolittle, the physician blessed (cursed?) with the ability to speak and listen to the animals. Murphy is one of the funniest, most energetic comedians to ever grace the silver screen, and here he plays straight man to a bunch of animals, who carry the comic burden with mixed results. Norm Macdonald has the best lines as the voice of the stray dog Lucky (his work here is far funnier than anything in _Dirty_Work_), and Chris Rock elicits some laughs (before growing old) as the voice of Dolittle's daughter Maya (Kyla Pratt) guinea pig Rodney. Other celebrity voices, such as those of Albert Brooks, Jenna Elfman, John Leguizamo, Garry Shandling, and Julie Kavner, are less memorable, thanks to some uninspired comic patter by screenwriters Nat Mauldin and Larry Levin. So while the animals shoulder the laugh load, what does Murphy do? Nothing, basically. He's a strangely passive and sluggish presence though, to be charitable, the material he is given is hardly anything to get worked up over. The main plotline is a boring thread involving a possible buyout of his medical practice, but it's made somewhat tolerable by the amusingly over-the-top Oliver Platt (a partner in Dolittle's practice), playing a medically-licensed variation of his harried campaign manager in _Bulworth_. Barely reaching the level of tolerance is the saccharine "emotional" hook involving the brainy Maya's low self-esteem. If there is anything more excrutiating to watch than an unfunny comedy, it is one that vainly attempts to pull at heartstrings and make an emotional connection it does not deserve. Although the totality of _Doctor_Dolittle_ feels incredibly tired, there is some genuine creativity and brilliance on display by the computer visual effects technicians and Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which designed the animatronic creature effects, which were used in conjunction with actual animals. It is nearly impossible to tell when the real furry friends end and the effects work begins; the illusion is that convincing. However, while this would be enough to save a film whose sole purpose is to depict wildlife, it is not nearly enough to rescue a comedy that is curiously short on laughs. The harmless _Doctor_Dolittle_'s menagerie of cute talking animals should delight the young 'uns, but the delightful-to-all-ages _Babe_ this certainly isn't--a fact that is made all too painfully obvious when a charmless talking pig arrives on the scene. IN BRIEF Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss (R) *** Much like how aspiring photographer Billy Collier (Sean P. Hayes) says he is first and foremost branded as "gay" in his cheeky opening monologue, likely so will this romantic comedy from writer-director Tommy O'Haver. But when Billy ends his monologue saying that the film is for both gays and straights, he is not lying. Though the film focuses on Billy's destined-for-doom love for a straight model, Gabriel (a Rob Lowe/Brad Pitt morph named--get this--Brad Rowe), _Kiss_ does not feel exclusionary. This is mainly because of the endearing character of Billy, who is portrayed first and foremost as a simple, everyday person, not necessarily a gay man. A great deal of the credit goes to Hayes, who gives a natural, understated performance tempered with moments of subtle humor. The character of Gabriel is more of a cipher, but Rowe projects a personality likable enough to make one understand why Billy would be so taken with him. For a low-budget effort, _Kiss_ certainly does not look cheap. _Kiss_ is shot in 2.35:1 CinemaScope, all the better to showcase the vibrant, near-Technicolor hues created by production designer Franco-Giacamo Carbone and captured by cinematographer Mark Mervis. O'Haver also makes good use of the space in the widescreen format; one of his most inventive flourishes is the placement of still-life Polaroids on the side to depict flashbacks. However, O'Haver does make some missteps. The drag queen dance number that accompanies the opening credits (and subsequent drag numbers) is too campy (or, as Billy calls it, "groovy") for its own good, and two of the three heterosexual males in the film are one-dimensional, buffoonish cartoons. Nonetheless, _Billy's_Hollywood_Screen_Kiss_ is an emotionally satisfying and entertaining film that accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of making sexual orientation a moot point. (opens July 24) Hav Plenty (R) ** 1/2 A homeless aspiring writer (Christopher Scott Cherot, who also wrote, directed, and edited) and a wealthy, engaged woman (Chenoa Maxwell) are unlikely friends. Of course, the two are obviously destined to be even less likely lovers, but they naturally can't see it. _Hav_Plenty_ (a married combination of the two characters' names--Lee Plenty and Havilland "Hav" Savage) is formulaic, but it has plenty to like, especially Cherot, who has an appealing self-deprecating air onscreen, an ear for dialogue, and an eye for realistic details (some blemishes on his forehead are uncovered by makeup). He and Maxwell have an engaging chemistry, and they are ably supported by Robinne Lee (as Hav's sister Leigh), Tammi Katherine Jones (as Hav's snooty twit friend Caroline), and Hill Harper (as Hav's songwriter fiance). The film, however, ultimately underachieves, most notably in the general humor department, relying too heavily on broad, unfunny slapstick (Lee falls out of a chair, Caroline is doused by toilet water after flushing a broken bowl). Also, the subtle emotional momentum it manages to build is erased by the in-jokey and completely unconvincing epilogue, featuring cameos by Nia Long, _Young_and_the_Restless_ hunk Shemar Moore, the Fugees' Lauryn Hill, TLC's Chilli, and producers Tracey and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The appearance of the sparkling Long just reminds one of a similar, far-superior African-American romance released last year--the unjustly overlooked gem _love_jones_.

The romantic comedy, about a woman who has left a string of fiances at the altar and a reporter assigned to write a story about her (sounds like an update of "It Happened One Night," with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert), is scheduled to shoot in October, says Variety. -=> * <=- Because his movie "Dirty Work" performed so miserably at the box office, former "Saturday Night Live" comic Norm MacDonald has had the plug pulled from his proposed next movie, "Ballbusted." Variety reports that the move by MGM shocked the film's creative team, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who were set to make their directorial debut. Their writing credits include "Ed Wood" and "The People vs. Larry Flynt." "Ballbusted" is being shopped elsewhere. -=> * <=- Elizabeth Taylor, 66, is ready for her close-up. After enduring illnesses, ailments and other setbacks for more than a year, La Liz is preparing to go to work this November in an adaptation of "The Visit," based on a play about a rich woman who returns to a small village where she had been abused as a youngster. Variety columnist Army Archerd reports that the project, according to Taylor's agent, Robby Lantz, is not being perceived as Taylor's farewell film. "Like Sarah Bernhardt," Lantz said, "you can expect 10 years of 'farewells' from Elizabeth." Lantz said Taylor is "in a good mood to work -- in a good script with a good director and co-stars, and she is tired of 'guest' appearances. They are very boring."
