Maybe a wherefore art thou gnomeo game to replace KimPossible in Epcot? Got ideas anybody? Going to see this anybody?

Originally Posted By basil fan I saw it, too. Thought it was pretty good, but the creators have a somewhat bizarre sense of humor. I got the feeling that it would grow on me with repeat viewings. Several dandy moments: the jogger in the alley, the guy in the thong raising his hand, the kitty lawn mower, the 2-D animated overlays, the flamingo... But I didn't expect the Elton john songs to be established songs. Thought we'd at least get the Lion King treatment. As a true non-fan, I found this to be a drawback. I thought the flashback was extremely poignant. May have to try this film a second time. Replace Kim Possible? Bite your tongue.
