I’m curious if the Live Action package is up to theatre owners to decide what order it plays, or whether it comes pre-loaded. “God of Love” definitely benefits from being the straight comedy that comes at the end of the package, though I was completely in the minority about its quality (everyone else in my group loved it. Me, not so much). Went with a group of five this weekend and we were all completely perplexed by the choice of the U2-Hutu joke…just a crazy way to end that short. We all loved Wish 143 – seriously hoping that one wins.
