Destiny/Disobedience debate
As many of you may remember, there is a scene where Tillie sneaks off to pull the birthday train over the mountain while Tower is asleep. Some of you may think that this may teach a wrong lesson: it's okay to diobey local authority figures, especially if they aren't very nice. Well, you know what? It's not a matter of obeying or disobeying authority figures; it's a matter of following your destiny and fulfilling it. Now I bet this may lead to another question: does following your destiny mean that you even have to disobey authority figures? Well, I'll answer that by explaining this: there have been similar moments to the said scene in other animated features, notably Disney cartoons. Like, for instance, in the Disney short "Peter and the Wolf" (based on the classic musical story by Sergei Prokofiev), the Grandfather doesn't want Peter to go out and hunt the wolf, but Peter sneaks out to do it anyway while the Grandfather is asleep. If you ask me, Tower is just like the Grandfather: he just doesn't realize that just because somebody is little doesn't mean they can't accomplish big things, even if it takes effort and perseverence.

DVD Release
Who was the person that said that this movie would be released on DVD in 2011? And if it's not due until next year, shouldn't it be in future tense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by StarLegacy (talk • contribs) 16:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
