Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god. She said slurp in the same post as the e-word.

OK, there was just an ad for the movie Barnyard on. Am I mistaken or is the cow with prominant UDDERS voiced by a MAN?

That's gonna confuse the hell out of some kids. I'm sure having the appropriate distinguishing anatomy might offend the parents of some childrens but still! Make it neuter! It's a time honored cartoon technique.

Yes. Boy cow with udders. It's very wrong.

She makes tons and tons of devilled eggs. Which I slurp down. Love them.

Sprinkled with paprika, and chilled to the perfect temperature of "cold, but not frozen"? Yum!!

I doubt pixar or whoever is intending to suggest that. But who knows? Maybe the cow does have that bent, whatever that'd be called for bovines.

Barnyard is an Ardman (Wallace and Grommit) film.

If there was any sort of intentional gender bending implied in any way by the trailer, my opinion of the movie would skyrocket.

(eta: That's so sad, Ardman has never let me down before, but it looks so very bad)

The credits on the official web site say it's Steve Oedkirk and Omation Animation Studios.

OMG, I almost forgot. There's a (very cool) statue of a moose on the plaza outside my office. Made of old chrome fenders. [link]

I must have crossed the plaza at a different angle than usual the other day. That is a boy moose. I mean seriously a boy moose.

Now I can't look away. (Nor, I notice, can most of the little kids who come near it.)
