Meltdown Presents: The Disney Click #10: Marvel: With Great Acting Comes Great Responsibility  

 

Rick and Briers discuss the superhero actors of the Marvel universe.  Who has done the best job of embodying the powerful roles that we've mostly known from comic book pages up until now. Also, Briers takes us back to when Pixar's A Bug's Life went up against DreamWorks' Ants in the Fall of 1998. Was this a case of business before friendship? Finally, when you think of theme park attractions that were turned into movies, do you think about Pirates of the Caribbean or (gulp) The Haunted Mansion? We look at Disney's past and future attempts to turn beloved park experiences into good films.
