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.

"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.

Hey. New board.
Pixar List: Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., Ratatouille, Toy Story 2, Toy Story, A Bug's Life (I didn't see Cars)
Animated (kids-ish) since 1995 list: Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Spirited Away, Monsters Inc., The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lilo and Stitch, Ratatouille, The Emperor's New Groove, Shrek, Toy Story 2, Toy Story, The Iron Giant, James and the Giant Peach, Meet the Robinsons, Fantastia 2000, A Bug's Life
I've never seen Anastasia, The Prince of Egypt, Horton Hears a Who!, Kung Fu Panda, Howl's Moving Castles, or other potential high scorers. I didn't include anything ranked below A Bug's Life (e.g. Pocahontas and Mulan) or adult things (South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut)

I really enjoyed Ice Age (though I haven't seen the second one).
And I'm with Jess on Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, and Spirited Away.
Also, I would probably put Iron Giant on that list of films that need to be seperated out from other animated films.

Going by the fact that we own them, I would say the favorites of Chez Neil are Lilo and Stitch --because it reminds Hubby of his years living in Hawaii--and Ice Age --because Hubby loves dinosaurs. And not the cutesy Land Before Time dinosaurs, because we keep voting on which one we want to see get squished.

It is the most affecting animated movie I've seen, and Lilo is my favorite kid character. Maybe in all movies.
I was bummed to hear that the Lilo director was booted off Ratatouille by Lasseter after an artistic disagreement. I should go check to see what he's working on now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What about Meet the Robinson's, Aims?
Oh yeah. Damn. That's up there, too. Prolly tied with Incredibles and boots Monsters, Inc down to #2. "I have a big head and little arms" is a common phrase for expressing frustration in the Miracleborn home. Complete with arm movements and t-rex voice. Makes Joe laugh ev.ry.time.

Corpse Bride rocked amazingly. Must rent that.

FUCK! Forgot about Iron Giant.
I have loved all animation since Steamboat Willie and they are all my favorites.
