Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me; the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality” – Emily Dickinson
If Death took a holiday, the guns would go silent in Iraq, the slaughter on our nation’s highways would cease, and the news media would be compelled to cover positive events in the humanities, arts, and sciences. Unfortunately, Death has not had a vacation in recorded history, but Mitchell Leisen’s 1934 fantasy, Death Takes a Holiday, allows us to consider the possibility. Co-written by Maxwell Anderson and Gladys Lehman and based on the play "La Morte in Vacanza" by Alberto Casella, Death Takes a Holiday stars Frederic March as the Grim Reaper who takes on human form in an attempt to discover why men fear him so much. Why he has waited 5,000 years to satisfy this curiosity is not explained.
[Spoiler] After a brief tryout as a shadowy figure who scares the daylights out of those that cross his path, Death shows up at, of all places, an upscale party at an Italian villa, posing as the mysterious Prince Sirki. Only one person knows who he really is, the host Duke Lambert (Guy Standing), and he is sworn to secrecy. Sirki proceeds to fascinate the guests. Given to bursts of wit and poetry, he can just as quickly turn sullen and threatening, and some soon find out that it is better not to look too deeply into his eyes. During the three days in which the Prince is at the villa, however, people all over the world miraculously escape death and potential suicides are doomed to frustration.
To see what’s behind all the conversation about love, the suave but naïve Prince Sirki falls for the irresistible Grazia (Evelyn Venable), the daughter of one of Duke’s friends. Grazia knows who Death is but does not fear him, much to the chagrin of her fiancé, Corrado (Kent Taylor) who has developed a strong disdain for Prince Charming.
More sinister than Brad Pitt in the 1998 remake Meet Joe Black, March turns in a very convincing performance as the creepy yet strangely appealing guest. Although the ending is melodramatic, the emotions are very real and the suggestion that Death may in reality be a friend disguised as a foe is quite touching.

In this wearisome and predictable plot line, Death falls in love and bores us to death talking about it.
(Dennis Schwartz, homepages.sover.net)
I've heard DRACULA was advertised with the tag line "The Weirdest Love Story ever told!" (this is probably a paraphrase), but at heart, I've never felt that you could honestly call that movie a love story. The tag line would be much more appropriate for this one, since it ultimately boils down to what amounts to a love story. This movie is very good indeed, particularly if you consider that it is built around a concept that could have easily been handled in a cute or facile manner. Instead, it is handled as seriously as possible, with some real thought put into how death would try to come to terms with a life and an outlook that was to that point totally unfamiliar to him; much of the credit does go to Fredric March in the title role. It's quite scary when it needs to be, particularly during the first twenty minutes. From then on, it deals with its themes with subtlety, a quiet wit, an enduring sadness, and an everpresent tension on how Death might react if crossed. It's not perfect; some of the dialogue is self-conscious and artificial, as if the writers knew they were dealing with weighty issues and were trying to be profound. But I am certainly glad they didn't try to turn it into a musical comedy of sorts.

五郎叔和熊猫也来客串了，是不是意味着这个ip挺火的，可能还有下一部？！
想说真梨邑那个角色好像羽生，突然想起就是古泽的剧本……剧情就还好吧。
又烧脑，又喜剧，关键又是长泽雅美的无敌笑容。
最后那个2.5次元舞台剧的梗没有看懂。龙套来的山田孝之也太好笑。
本以为这节奏是走向完结 看到还有20分钟的时候知道了 总归是要反转的
比上一部好看，上一部打了四星，这一部应该有4.5，哈哈哈，好喜欢长泽雅美。真真假假，游戏人生，有趣。
回归了欺诈本身！反转再反转！呜呜，太好看了！完全猜不到好吧！！
没想到等完资源，还要等字幕，终于...感谢字幕组
虽然可以当成漫画剧场版，但节奏真的可以再紧凑点！
皮克斯动画长片里的 “宠物” ?：《光年正传》→机器猫，《青春变形记》→猫，《心灵奇旅》→猫，《夏日友晴天》→猫，《1/2的魔法》→小龙，《玩具总动员4》→猫，《寻梦环游记》→狗；《恐龙当家》→野人，《头脑特工队》→狗&猫，《怪兽大学》→惊吓猪，《勇敢传说》→马&狗&乌鸦…，《玩具总动员3》→狗……《飞屋环游记》→狗，《机器人总动员》→变异蟑螂 ?，《美食总动员》→老鼠，《海底总动员》→鱼类，《玩具总动员2》→狗……《虫虫危机》→小蚜虫，《玩具总动员》→狗……
絮絮叨叨的巴斯光年原来一直都这么神经质。有信念真好，相信自己是对的，但盲目自信千万不能，执念太深最后会变成自己最大的对手。宠物猫简直就是喵喵队立大功，如果陪伴型机器宠物喵宠物汪都这么强大还不得卖断货？啥时候给胡迪、翠丝、牧羊女也拍个前传？每个玩具都有它自己的故事。
剧情是越来越自说自话了 阵容是真的豪华 缅怀二位
挺可爱的，我喜欢sox。前半段非常紧凑，好看。然后就是这些讨论真的散发着顺性别（自认为比黑色人种高级的黄种）直人的恶臭味，儿童剧里能出现白人异性恋，就是不能出现黑人女同性恋，我们活着但凡不是白顺直就是在叠buff，对吗？你的（异性恋）同事结婚生子：合理，你的（女同性恋）同事（和一位女性）结婚生子：为什么要在儿童片里讨论政治？骄傲的顺直想同性恋死光就直说算了，在这里装什么晓之以理^_^
到了点头妹出来的时候才好看。赤星才是真爱啊。
开篇点题：讨厌菜鸟！一会一个失误的剧情，很破坏故事节奏，简直要看不下去了！很讨厌！白瞎了这么好的动画质感！
还可以。// 其实一开始是为了花花而看的。 // 还是好喜欢Dako呀！ // 反派很讨厌，但是演得我觉得还可以。 // 什么时候换掉东出昌大呀，上一个新角色呗。
从影片本身的角度来看，完全是不合格的，无论是主题还是人物刻画上都非常的赶进度。私以为，《玩具总动员》当之无愧是跳跳灯创作的一个伟大的系列，为了尊重这一系列以及所有爱它的观众们，请不要再出任何关于这个系列的续集or番外or平行宇宙了，已经够了。
这么多年了，三木律师还是活在片尾里，TNND什么时候才有这个什么2.5次元音乐剧。
《伽利略傳》的那句話：沒有英雄的國家並不可悲，需要英雄的國家才最可悲。這句話值三星，其他的零星。
