It's easy to tell that Jon Favreau was a kid of my generation who fell irretrievably in love with movies because of Lucas and Spielberg's work in the 70s and early 80s. There are more miniatures and on-set practical effects in Zathura than most similar modern movies. I mean, rod puppets, man-in-suit robots and monsters, and exploding miniatures are vanishing arts that are expertly used here. CG was only used where it wasn't feasible to do convincing practical work or to add an extra level of enhancement to physical effects, and it shows on the screen because things just look real.
I don't know if I'll pick up the DVD on sale or wait for Blu-Ray, but I'm almost definitely gonna buy it at some point.

Double-down, baby. Double-down!
Speaking of, do you get his show 'Dinner For Five' in the UK? Great show and if you're not familiar with it its Favreau and four guests for various media having dinner and shooting the shit about basically whatever comes to mind. AND its co-produced by Favreau's good friend Peter Billingsly, aka Ralphie from 'A Christmas Story' and aka Messy Marvin! Billingsley also co-produced Zathura!
Dinner For Five Season One at Amazon.com

Man, if Favreau is doing films like Zathura, and doing it well by all accounts, that opens up a whole world of possibilities. People with an actual ove of a genre making movies in that genre? A crazy idea but it just might work. It's like Kevin Smith directing a Star Wars film.

heh, that remindes me. Did anyone see the apprentice episode (i dont usually watch it, but happened to catch it once) where they had to promote this movie, and the one team pronounced the name wrong while pitching their idea to the studio/producers (whoever they presented it to) was pretty funny, they didnt win.
anyway, i was just thinking how they should have gotten you guys to promote it, probably would have had a bigger release
I wasnt really interested to see it before (kinda had the same feeling as YIYF) but def think ill check it out when i get a chance.

In case you didn't know, Favreau's currently in pre-production on "John Carter of Mars" or whatever the title winds up being, based on books by Edgar Rice Burroughs about a Civil War vet who winds up on Mars, fights lizard-men and gets it on with the refreshingly human-looking Princess before being reincarnated as an old-money doctor in 1990s Chicago. Well, more or less.
