Ooh, fun! Putting Song of the South on there isn't fair, though, no one under the age of 70 has seen it. (Although I guess you can put down a partial for "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.") And why isn't Roger Rabbit under Disney? *confused*

[leskuh]

Haha, isn't that the one that's horrifically offensive and will never be rereleased like EVER because it is SO TERRIBLE?

And why isn't Roger Rabbit under Disney?

I do not know! I also mentioned under the Don Bluth section that I actually don't think he had any involvement in Fievel Goes West. So there seem to be a few things off the mark here.

What are your thoughts on Don Bluth movies by the way (if you have any)? I know you adore all things Disney, but I'd love to hear what you think about some of the things Don's come out with.

[poisonivory]

Yeah, it's supposedly pretty wretched. One of my dreams is being able to see it, because wretched or not, it's Disney, and I'm an insane completionist.

I tend to think Bluth movies are weaker than Disney - stiffer, jumpier animation, frequently bizarre plots, a tendency to use celebrity voices instead of voice actors who might be better at - but I've only seen about a half-dozen of them, most when I was a wee thing. That said, The Land Before Time was one of my very favorite movies as a kid, and Anastasia is one of my very favorite movies, period (and yes, the latter has many weaknesses in the animation, but storywise I maintain that it's a damn good film). And I do have a nostalgic fondness for the ones I watched as a kid. (All Dogs Go to Heaven, though, which I just rewatched recently, is a godawful opium nightmare.)

I think it would be at least interesting to watch and study, despite it's awfulness. I do not know much of the plot/history surrounding the production of that movie, but IDK, I feel like they shouldn't exactly hide it away. IDK how they would handle putting it on DVD though, without causing a horrible stir of badness, because it is so very offensive, but I also feel like it should be available in some way

I'm kind of ashamed of the number of movies on this list I haven't seen. WOE.

[leskuh]

Haha, Somehow I have seen SO MANY of them. I'm not even sure HOW that happened. It just... did.

[champagnescene]

Oh, god, I've seen almost every one of these movies. I was gazing through it and hoping that eventually a movie that I hadn't seen would come up and alas, I ended up with about seven I haven't seen...I can't decide if it means I'm well cultured or just way to addicted to movies.

[leskuh]

That is actually really awesome! Well, okay I don't actually have an interest in seeing ALL of these movies, but I would like to see MORE.

Also, I think it's sort of hilarious that I have only seen 1 out of 16 movies in the "Adult" category, because I'm like... seven and hate everything that is geared towards adults.

[champagnescene]

I think the only reason I've seen as many as I have is because they always play the weirdest movies at like three AM and I'm always awake with nothing to do. But yeah, a few you have unchecked are definitely worth seeing like, I totes agree with airekuh, iron giant is a must-watch & Fritz the Cat is enjoyable in that it's so old that you can't help but smile way. && omg, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumber Land is one of my all-time favorites movies. I literally used to sit down and watch the movie on replay when I was little.

[leskuh]

I should probably start making a list of movies to watch. I really need to get a netflix account. It would solve so many problems.

[airekuh]

You should see the rest of the Iron Giant pronto. It's sooo good.

Also, it made me depressed that The Great Mouse Detective was under Disney's Dark Age because I will always, always, always adore that movie. :(

Oh, and another thing, I don't know much about Don Bluth, but I adore Thumbelina, Anastasia, and The Pebble and The Penguin.

[leskuh]

I have heard many great things about the Iron Giant! Yet, I have never been much interested in actually sitting down to watch it, so IDK. I know it will be wonderful, but for some reason I'm just sort of like ehhhhhhhh.

I also love The Great Mouse Detective! I only have it on this ratty old VHS copy though. My sister likes it more than I do, I think.

I am... somewhat knowledgeable about Don Bluth and his movies. Like, I have both of his books on animation/storyboarding and also am weirdly interested in the time when he left Disney because he didn't like the direction it was going in sooo... IDK what I'm trying to really say, but I have many soft spots for Don Bluth movies.

Thumbelina and Anastasia are both REALLY AWESOME. The Pebble and the Penguin is the one I haven't managed to see yet.

[leskuh]

I actually went and rewatched Fern Gully on youtube recently and it really doesn't hold up to my memory of it.

I've never even heard of Waltz With Bashir!

[leskuh]

Ah, no I'm not. That would probably be part of the issue there haha!
