I was going to post that as a bonus question, and I find that the most shocking of all.

One time ever? All these years and we haven't yet figured out that animation has given us some of the most timelessly enjoyable films ever produced?

- It ran into a pretty strong year. Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank were the big 3....and Quiz Show was on there as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 07:27 1
  - Thank you for mentioning Quiz Show. It always gets forgotten from that year, but it's a first-rate movie. One of my top 50 of all-time. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 11, 07:30
- It should have been. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:01
- Lion King = most overrated Disney movie. It's just an ok refresh of several other classic Disney animated movies. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 11, 07:01 6
  - you...do not line up with me on animated film. -- nm - Callisto Dec 11, 07:10 1
    - I won't hold it against you. :) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 11, 07:20
  - I've been watching your last few posts on movie reviewing ... I think you're the polar opposite of me in the way you grade movies. - Beryllium Dec 11, 07:10
  - Dude, aren't you off your usual game today.. - Marlowe Dec 11, 07:02 2
    - I think WALL-E is very good, just that the third act made it one of the "lesser" Pixars. The Lion King is alright, just much prefer most of the c - Don Homer Dec 11, 07:04 1
      - I have issues with Little Mermaid, from the complete changing of the story's ending to the recyling of Little Shop of Horror's Music...it's still ok -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:10
People don't find it well rounded per se. Voices don't lend themselves to acting and that's a sizable batch of people who vote. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 06:55 15
- It's also wrongfully considered less serious of a medium, appealing primarily to children and not worthy of the same level of praise as a "real film" -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 06:57 14
  - I agree with this comment. I hate when our local cable company calls all animated movies as "cartoons" as the genre. -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 11, 07:05 1
    - yeah. an animated film can easily be in any genre. just because most of them are cartoons doesn't make it fair to lump all of them in that category. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:07
  - I have a friend that has written extensively on that subject, how Pinnochio is a masterpiece, and Grave of Fireflies is a modern classic - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 06:59 6
    - or Triplets of Bellville, to mentino a personal favorite. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:03
    - Very true about Grave, and Princess Mononoke as well. - Jelly Dec 11, 07:03 4
      - ...and Spirited Away, and at least half of Pixar's output... - TFox Dec 11, 07:05 3
        
        Tokyo Godfathers is another incredible animated film. - znufrii Dec 11, 07:05 2
        
        all of Satoshi Kon's films are aces in my book. - Callisto Dec 11, 07:12 1
        
        that's another one. although I liked Godfathers better -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:15

    - To be fair up until the 60's most animated films and shorts were for adults....Flintstones was for adults and the original Fantasia or Snow White.... - Walt_Disney Dec 11, 07:08 1
      - Walt didn't make movies for children, he made movies for everyone -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:11
    - but that speaks only to the content of those films, not the character of the medium itself. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:01
    - Same is true with comedies...but more of them get nominated -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 11, 07:00
