denWhy do animated movies have singing in them?
Why? It really gives me the shits to see animated characters singing. It breaks up the movie. It halts the story. It's a fucking interruption.
In the Toy Stories they had songs, but they added to the images. And the characters didn't stop to sing. The same with Antz, Chicken Run and Shrek (except for the end bit) : The songs were in the background, adding to the movie. Even Road To Eldorado was mostly free of character songs.
But DizCo seems to insist that their animated movies stop so the characters can sing a naff Elton John song.
Look, just

Toy Story 2 is the *only* sequal I have. The others I deemed unwatchable after trying to watch them.
