Is Rhino leaving so Bolt & Mittens can talk actually an example of I Need to Go Iron My Dog? Because Rhino doesn't actually make up an excuse. The first time he goes to get a ladder because it would actually be useful in getting a cat out of a tree, rather than deliberately leaving the other two alone. The second one, he just wanders off, again not deliberately leaving them alone.
I teleported home last night / With Ron and Sid and Meg / Ron stole Meggy's heart away / And I got Sidney's leg - Douglas Adams Hide / Show RepliesOk, no response in three days, I'm cutting it.
I teleported home last night / With Ron and Sid and Meg / Ron stole Meggy's heart away / And I got Sidney's leg - Douglas AdamsDo we have a trope for the reaction "Lies! Lies! It's all lies!!"? 'Cuz I have that for Mittens's whole "oh I wish I were really a dog" spiel. Ain't no way in hell a cat would prefer to be a dog, and the whole idea that dogs are by nature cuter than cats is backwards as all get-out. It's crazy and lame and a horrible blight on an otherwise awesome and heartwarming film... moreso because it's not a throwaway line but like a major character moment.
Yargh.
Only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all. Hide / Show RepliesNo, we don't have tropes for the viewer liking cats more than dogs and disagreeing with the film over it. "Crazy and lame and a horrible blight" are both gross overreactions and purely subjective responses.
I always thought that Mittens was just making that up to make Bolt feel better.
I teleported home last night / With Ron and Sid and Meg / Ron stole Meggy's heart away / And I got Sidney's leg - Douglas Adamsare you forgetting her backstory, chances are that her family had a dog, and they took the dog with them leaving her behind. so it would make scence that she would rather be a loved dog than a abandoned cat...
Do we have a trope for characters who are the kind-of-crazy artistic type? Because there seem to be a lot of them in fiction, and the director would definitely qualify. He's not sociopathic enough to qualify as Mad Artist (unless you want to make the case that he's a "mild example"), even if his ideas do have a devastating effect on Bolt's psyche.
"The Cameo: Cast member Carrot of The Funday Pawpet Show gets a cameo as Bolt's chew toy." - Was this ever confirmed? I looked around and couldn't find any info on it nor confirmation from the directors of the film confirming it.
