Tell me your Fav. Animated movies!

[lberghol]

So being the animation dork that I am, I was chillin in bed while Matthew took a nap today, and caught Pocahontas on the Disney Channel. It's not my favorite Disney movie, but it got me all nostalgic. I miss the days where I would get SO excited each year over the newest 2D release. Literally I would clip every article nad find every picture I

Man, only five? That is such a hard choice......

1. Last Unicorn (because it's just a favorite and one of those movies I watched all the time when I was little).

2. Lady and the Tramp (again, another movie I watched a lot when I was little and my dog looked like the Tramp so it has even more love).

3. Flight of Dragons (another childhood classic and I am waited with baited breath for it to actually come out on DVD)

4. Spirit (ok, so the story is not all that great, but I'm a complete horse crazy girl and some of the facial expressions they got are wonderful as are some of the scenes)

5. Beauty and the Beast (because I love it and have a brand new appreciation for it after seeing the rought draft that one of our art people brought in. Just wow...)

And of course, runner up include: Balto, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Iron Giant, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Pixar's films. And I totally understand what you mean about Cats Don't Dance. I love that movie and am sad that it doesn't get much acclaim anywhere.

*gasp*
I want Flight of Dragons on dvd SOOO bad. I remember watching it when I was a kid. I loved it...

Me too! I haven't heard any recent news about it though. I have it on tape, but it's a tape I've had since I was little, so it's getting to be horrible quality.

I'm going to leap on that though as soon as it comes out. Hopefully it'll be better quality than the Last Unicorn DVD though.

Guh, I don't even have it on tape, so I can't even imagine when the last time I saw it was... probably over 10 years ago, but I can still remember it clear as day. I want it so bad. And my copy of The Last Unicorn is really old... I need it on dvd before the tape breaks.
Maybe they'll do it like The Hobbit. I found a copy of the dvd for that for a dollar at a grocery store, haha...

Wow! Yu have managed to stump me! Flight of the Dragons is one movie I don't recognize! LOL! I'm going to have to do some research now....

Ooooh, FoD was the one movie my parents finally forbid me to rent after a while because I'd get it every week and watch it multiple times each rental. I LOVED that movie, and I still do. Found it on VHS at WalMart like a decade ago, and yeah, it's not the greatest quality animation (Rankin Bass was nearing their end, I think), but I just LOVED it. Some of the instrumental pieces would get stuck in my head, and I wanted to name all my dragon dolls Gorebash. XD

Wow, I feel like I need a medal for that! But yeah, it's a Rankin/Bass movie that came out in 1982. Not the best animation, but the dragons are awesome. So are some of the voices, they got James Earl Jones and everything. It's a nice story and an interesting taste on magic vs. technology. ^-^

Plus now when I watch it, Peter from the movie just makes me think of Remus Lupin in his cute scholarly dorkiness. It's amazing that they got that much plot too considering the book that it's based on you'll find in the reference section because the author wrote it as a textbook on how dragons could work and exist in the real world. Explaining dragon flight and breath and why we don't see lots of dragon skeletons lying around and such.

Ok, enough rambling. ^-^ If you can get your hands on it, I'd definately recommend it. I don't know how easily it will be to get your hands on it though. Oh and the icon I'm using is from the movie. ^-^ It is the Princess Melisande when she's a little kid and Gorbash when he's just a dragon baby.
