A few days ago I was looking through some of my old work and I came across this Firefly piece that I composed a while back in my high school writing class, which brought back some memories. I figured, given that it was the fourth anniversary of Serenity's release, I might as well go ahead and post a revised version, just for fun ( Read more... )

Once again, the interlude between my reviews has been akin to the gap of Valles Marineris but I am back.

This time round I look at the three most likely contenders for Best Animation at this year's Oscars, discounting the as-of-yet unreleased Princess and the Frog. That is, to say, Coraline, Ponyo, and Up.
