In a year so geared toward human extinction it's perhaps not a surprise that the human element might be missing in movies, often literally. Beginning with Disney's Mulan, films starring beasts or computer-generated figments have edged out the human competition. The success of Antz, A Bug's Life, and The Rugrats Movie suggests that the future of motion pictures lies in animation. Fittingly, the last big film of 1998 was The Prince of Egypt, a cartoon from DreamWorks, the same people who gave us Private Ryan. The story of a young Moses, it closed off a year of human impropriety with the image of a non-human prophet scourging us for our human failures and laying down the law. |
