WALL-EEEEEEEEEE!!

You betcha!

I just saw this for the second time last night, there was a showing of it on my campus. :D

It doesn't get any less awesome the second time around.

I'm pretty much a fan of every Pixar film, except I didn't really enjoy Toy Story 2 that much. Also, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid are two of my favorites.

Lilo and Stitch is a favorite. Lilo is so earnest in wanting to be friendly and make friends. Stitch approaches life with non stop gusto. Stitch reminds of a dog I once had who seemed full of supreme confidence in himself no matter what.

The Secret of NIMH. Yeah... I have the DVD and I still watch it...

In terms of Disney stuff... Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast were always my faves.

I would also like to add Ratatouille ^^

The original Lion King is probably my favorite Disney.

Watership Down, for non-Disney.

My fiance made me watch the video for "Bright Eyes" with all the little bunnies dying and their little spirits flying away...

I think I was emotionally scarred forever that day...

Definitely Lion King! Especially since they speak Swahili and it's taken from Kenya & Tanzania:) And lions rule. I also liked Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood, Monsters Inc., Ice Age, Shrek, the Incredibles and so on:) Absolute worst is Pocahontas:rolleyes:

Mulan is pretty good too. My youngest sister has both Dvd's so naturally I've endured that movie a couple of hundred times:rolleyes:

By the way, my favorite song in animation, "Be Prepared" in the Lion King. Scar is just way cool. The English version is alright by I prefer the voices and atmosphere created by the Norwegian version:evil:

You can have both, as "Shrek" was DreamWorks. :D

Absolute worst is Pocahontas:rolleyes:

I have a soft spot for the song "Just Around the Riverbend" in Pocahontas, though it's been a long time since I've seen the film in it's entirety. :)

My favourite animated movies are mostly Hayao Miyazaki films. But the movie that I just finished watching for the first time is called Grave of the Fireflies. It's really a heart-tugger, and it makes me upset now... I highly recommend that movie too.

Yes to Miyazaki- "Spirited Away" is definitely my favorite animated film with "Princess Mononoke" ranking right up there.

Finding Nemo is by far the best animated movie ever to this date.... However there have been some good releases these days... such as: Cars over the hedge!

Bee movie
Toy story2

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

Yes to Miyazaki- "Spirited Away" is definitely my favorite animated film with "Princess Mononoke" ranking right up there.

Howl's moving castle and Ponyo on the cliff are pretty good too. Howl's moving castle is based on books written by Dianne Wynne Jones. There's also a sequel in bookform. Ponyo on the cliff is mostly adorable.

WALL-E was the greatest animated film of all time. Truly a masterpiece, it will become a classic in years to come. I've also enjoyed Toy Story 2 and The Incredibles.

I agree 100%!

I hadn't seen it yet the last time I posted in this thread. :D

Just popping in to say: Yes, Wall-E is awesome. Just gorgeous.

But, so is Finding Nemo. Of Pixar's films, I have to say that ends up as my favourite.

Miyazaki has been mentioned here as well, so just let me throw Spirited Away and Mononoke out there, though I'm sure they've already been mentioned several times. :cool:

Toy Story would definitely be my #1, but Up is my second favorite...so sweet and a must-see for adults and kids!

I'm not too much of a fan of animated movies, but when I was forced to watch Cars, I really liked it. Also I really like Shrek too.

I revisited "Watership Down" recently and found I had forgotten how good it was. Dark and unsentimental, which makes it stand out from most animated films produced in the West.

01-13-2011, 12:08 PM

My favorite is The Incredibles!

If you want to talk animated TV shows:
* old school favorite: Jonny Quest
* new school favorite: Liberty's Kids (I'm a history buff - and my boys and I have been going through the episodes on Netflix)

My childhood favorite - Disney's Cinderella.

Also Beauty and the Beast.

Disney movies I like Robin Hood, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King.

Otherwise I like Watership Down.

I'm sure there has to be more but I can't think of them. And, although I watch tons of anime, I'm not a big Miyazaki fan, nor are there any Japanese anime movies I can think of that I like that much, only series.

EDIT: Aaaand I just remembered, An American Tail (or as I called it "Fievel Goes to America) and Fievel Goes West. I remembered because I was thinking about Watership Down and "Fiver" sounds like "Fievel". And also, Rikki Tikki Tavi! :)

I vote for Shrek. I still remember how excited I was when I watched the movie

Lotesse

Snow White, the old-school Disney flick and the foundation for Walt Disney's empire. It was the first movie I ever saw. I still remember being utterly terrified by that awful witch/stepmother.

Finding Nemo. I love that movie so much, I not only have it entirely memorised in English but also, almost entirely, in its French version. L. O. V. E.

Fantasia, another childhood filmic breakthrough. To this day, I still hold to the idea that inanimate objects can contain a spirit, too. Those brooms! That music! Everything about that film is amazing.

The Wall. Well, it was mostly animated! Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Oh! I forgot to mention Ratatouille and Wall-E, both labors of pure genius.

Rían

Interesting bit of trivia - we know Brad Soden, the guy that made the machine that Wall-E was modeled after. His wife was paralyzed in a car accident, and he got so frustrated that she couldn't join the family on hikes anymore that he built a wheelchair with tank tracks! (http://tankchair.net/company-history) (click on the "Our Products" link to see the tank chair). My son (the one with the handicaps) has ridden on it - it's pretty impressive. They don't take government money because they don't want to be held to ADA standards - the guy is a genius, and puts the craziest things on it! My son got one of their speedster chairs - it's the coolest thing, and SOOOOO fast! They just gave another chair to a paralyzed policeman, and another one to a kid that wants to be on his school's marching band. They drove from Arizona to Texas to drop that chair off. Brad came by before they left and showed us how he set up their Suburban for his wife - unfortunately, she's having a bad time with pressure sores, so he took all the seats out behind the front seats and set up a very comfortable bed, complete with computer access and tv screen for her. She's very sweet and soft-spoken, and he is just a wild and crazy guy :D he experiments with explosives for fun :D That's Brad in the video with the bright green speedster chair - it's 3 times as fast on pavement; he's going pretty slow.

Lotesse

09-11-2012, 09:28 PM

That is seriously fascinating, Rian, and my interest is piqued like crazy- does he have a website to link to? Surely he must! I want to read up more about the original Wall-E guy, he sounds bloody amazing, genius like you say.

Rían

09-12-2012, 02:56 AM

Yes, he has a website - I guess my link didn't show up for some reason. Anyway, here it is:

Tankchair (tankchair.com)

or you can always just search "tankchair" or go to tankchair.com. Click on "our products" to see the tank chair, and "the company" to read the backstory.

Yeah, Brad is just an crazy amazing genius! The chairs are just SOOO cool, they've really been great for my son - it's like a car for him, which is nice since he's 17 now and we can't afford an adapted vehicle. He can travel several miles in it at a very good clip (up to 25 mph), and it just looks so cool - not like an institutional, drab, scary-looking wheelchair. He took it to a skateboarding competition we had here a year ago, and a lot of the skateboarders loved it and signed right on the fenders, including Rob Dyrdek. It is so well-balanced that it can literally spin (REALLY fast) on a dime, and anything that isn't tied down flies off. It has turn signals, headlights, and a great air-horn (which is actually for safety, because he goes in parking lots and is harder to spot than a car). The one they made for the paralyzed policeman had a siren and flashing police lights! :D

The video of Brad in one of the speedster wheelchairs is on the right side of the page in the "our company" section.

Lotesse

09-13-2012, 02:56 AM

That is SO freakin' cool! Your son must be hella stoked to have wheels like that. Thanks for the info link, too, Rian. He's such a great invention & inventor, very inspiring.

Rían

09-13-2012, 10:34 AM

You're welcome - and yes, you should have seen the smile on my son's face when he got those wheels! That's one of Brad's goals - to take away the "scariness" of wheelchairs and make them cool so that people will not be afraid to come up to handicapped people.

Lotesse

09-19-2012, 05:44 PM

Yeah that tankchair is extremely cool-looking- they custom build each one to the person ordering it, they said on their company website but I had to google to find out how much they priced out at. 15-25K, one person said. That's not bad, considering it's a lifetime investment and is pretty much like a car. What a fantastic invention!

So, animated movies...

They're releasing Finding Nemo in 3D around here (I live in L.A.), so of course I'll be seeing that. I heard it's awesome but that the 3D darkens all the colors, a thing I noticed when I watched Prometheus, which was my first-ever 3D experience. It was so, so cool but so DARK!

ParaNorman looks - a bit silly, but I'll definitely catch it on DVD later. I'm a real sucker for animated films. Besides, it's produced by the same team who gave us Coraline, and I LOVED that bizarre, imaginative movie.
