Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hells to the yeah. I love Emperor's New Groove for this alone.

You've never seen Monsters, Inc?? But it's wonderful! Just for the big set piece at the end with all the doors ALONE it's worth seeing.

I know. I need to remedy this.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I think it would be this:
Finding Nemo
Toy Story 2
Toy Story
Ratatouille
The Incredibles
Cars
A Bug's Life
Monsters, Inc.

The setting of Ratatouille leads me to place it higher than I probably would otherwise.

I don't think I've seen a lot of non-Pixar.

Emperor's New Groove is made of win.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We just saw Emperor a few months ago. I need to watch it again. I loved it to bits.

Lilo and Stitch is still a favorite among animated films.

(Please to forgive poor spelling and grammar. Am still suffering from Post F2F-Gronk.)

I love Lilo & Stitch and Finding Nemo so much I'm not sure they even belong on a list with other animated films. Ditto Spirited Away.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm guessing Nightmare Before Xmas was before that? Also, no Corpse Bride?

Nightmare is outside the scope, or it would rate near the top. I just forgot about Corpse Bride which would fit mid-list. It was a little disappointing. The characters aside from the Corpse Bride herself, were too meh.

I did like both Ice Age movies (the second one, moreso) and Madagascar though they would be middle-to-low in the pack. Entertaining enough, but not artistic triumphs.

What about Meet the Robinson's, Aims? I thought you liked that a lot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I just re-watched Lilo & Stitch a couple of nights ago, and my love for it remains so large and steadfast that I don't know that anything, Pixar or Studio Ghibli or anything at all, will ever knock it down to second.
