Digilips: redux

Just when you thought the world was safe from badly animated, digital lips superimposed on beagles by Pixar interns, Digilips are back in theaters this summer. Step off, Voldemort. The digiwolves are in town.

Tiny dog has a long history of speaking out against the endless scourge of digilips in this country, and once again finds herself in the tiresome position of reaffirming that this endless, repetitive trend must be put to sleep at once

"Underdog" is probably the hundred-millionth live-action remake of a 70's cartoon, dusted off by unimaginative, pathetically nostalgic Gen X movie studio drones, strip-mining their cigarette smoke-filled childhoods for pop culture castoffs to press back into service. They know that a whole new Ritalin ringtone generation of children has since come of age who know nothing of cell-animated 70's cereal spokescritters, and are ready to lap up this throwback cultural flotsam with nary an eyebrow askew.

And thus, America, we are subjected to yet another Beagle with a pixelated mandible, sounding an awful lot like that guy from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
