..anticipation.. and questions -

1. who are the brilliant imagination-architects of our time? Miyazaki for sure, Burton probably (with this film, it seems so), Jackson, perhaps Cameron (though he seems to copy Miyazaki) - who else?

2. do fantasies, like the ones popularized by Disney, prevent ordinary people from feeling truly happy and fulfilled, by suggesting something more beautiful and impossible and extraordinary could be experienced? Or do they allow greater happiness by feeding the imagination and fostering escapism?
