The Edinburgh International Film Festival press launch

"Hey look, I'm Woody, howdy howdy howdy"

I was priviledged enough to go along to the press launch of the Edinburgh international film festival today. A crowded Cinema 1 were treated to some of the potential highlights from what is to come this June.

Two things lept out of the screen and of the programme.

They are....

Wall.e - Pixar are hammering out the pics now. If Ratatouille was anything to go by (and it is...) then this is sure to be another work of art. Lack of dialogue aside, there is a cute robot, who is all alone. Could we be looking at the new eeyore? (When me and my family visited Disney Land in Florida, there was a queue for Whinnie the Pooo, but eeyore was all alone - was it set up that way? Sympathy vote!)

Back to the Future - Clearly not new and rather uninspiring of me posting about this in a blog focusing on the finest Film Festival in UK, but, as my favourite film it is being taken to the max. An outdoor summer screening! Surely there will be face offs over scientific inaccuracies and communal quoting throughout.

"Let's see if you bastards can do 90" GO MARTY!
