    It does kinda seem like Pixar's been remaking the Buddy Picture over and over again with different "things". (the Incredibles being the exception in my book). I actually expect "Things" to be an animated 3d movie, sooner or later.

    'Things' ... sounds funnier than 'Ferrets!'

    Love the list! love it. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who notices these clichés. Also, it helps if the premise is the "Secret lives of" approach. See, you take common everyday things and then reveal to the audience that they lead secret lives that one wouldn't expect. it could be the secret lives of Toys, Cars, Ants, Monsters, Superheroes, Penguins, Farm Animals, Zoo Animals, Food Product Characters, or even Ferrets!

    Secret lives... yeah I get what you mean. In Toy Story, whenever the people showed up, they became non-moving toys. That idea probably goes all the way back to looney tunes and the frog that only sang when people weren't looking... :)
