A few of the insider reviews from the more animation-obsessed AICN'ers 
have actually been positive (in the same sense as "Emperor's New 
Groove"'s anarchy was a temporary breath of fresh air after the formula 
elements of "Mulan" and "Tarzan")--
Although noting that most of whatever positive notice it's gotten was 
considerably helped by an enthusiastic group audience spirit of "Hey, 
guys!...'2-D is dead' THIS!!  :)  "

If luck holds out--and, like its two predecessors, gets a few moviegoers 
past the poor mismarketing--somebody in the boardrooms could be in a 
rather awkward position...
(Assuming, of course, that "Brother Bear" finally *does* get blamed on 
its reviews, for a change.)
