If "Shame on you" is considered condemnation, perhaps it's time one of us recalibrate the ole "hate" meter. If they want to do it, it's not going to prevent me from watching the movie. However, I've got pretty high expectations from Pixar. This would be a bit like someone saying "Oh, did you hear The French Laundry is going to work lutefisk into a delightful little sorbet?"

When you're a world renown animation company with billions in revenue from blockbuster childrens' movies under your belt, I think you're being a little heavy handed with the idea of juxtaposition or a foil by having a band who wrote an album that is about an out of body experience that "follows a quadriplegic who learns astral projection. On his journey he flies too close to the sun, burning his umbilical cord which connects him to his body, and flies into oblivion. At the same time in Czarist Russia, Rasputin and his cult were channeling spirits and brought the quadriplegic to their time. He explains his situation and foretells the assassination of Rasputin. Inevitably Rasputin is assassinated and Rasputin guides him back to his body."
