(The presence of this inaccuracy is particularly strange, because this is something the books got right.)"<br /><br />I was wondering about that. My best guess is that "Most Writers Are Male" ( http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostWritersAreMale ).<br /><br />-JD-manAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893026474426881196.post-7133116669809555462011-07-14T12:15:43.086-07:002011-07-14T12:15:43.086-07:00I agree with you on Happy Feet!

However, the owls in this movie weren't really (physically) anthropomorphized except for moving eyeballs and talking, and I thought that turned out much better.Albertonykushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345306530772709064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893026474426881196.post-38810515292670430052011-07-13T16:30:39.713-07:002011-07-13T16:30:39.713-07:00Interesting post.

I guess because Anthropomorphised maniraptors and other organisms are, I don't know, disturbing!! XDDDD Although, it could just be that I'm a traditionalist in the sense that I love The Lord of the Rings and just anything pertaining to that. lol!

I like reading animal stories that take into account their real life biology, too, although I might have enjoyed it even more if the owls didn't start cooking, drinking tea, reading books, and using weapons.
