That was kind of random, but still cool.

Yeah, I remember seeing that preview in the theatre. I was al excited, lol.

 

[Buck Bee3ee]

i actually saw that movie today

and the last thing i'd call it is a "cartoon"

but yeah, 'jichael mackson' was mentioned or seen three times

 

[wannabestartinsomthin21]

Yeah, I want to see the film too. It looks like it centers on a pretty serious subject. My guess from the preview is women's rights in the middle east maybe? I could be totally wrong. I thought though, given the fact that its obviously a serious film, that it sucked when they gave the oscar to that mess "Rata.." however you spell it for best animated feature.

I don't understand. Was the mother mad because the child had the MJ button on?

Someone please explain.

No, I think it's just a sense of losing one's culture. I'm not sure though.

In Iran the priests pretty much rule everything - and anything western - particularly music - is illegal! So that's why, in the clip, they whisper the names of American bands and artists, etc.
