Which totally avoids the question of whether faux-fruit sugar balls can be part of a well-balanced breakfast.

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

megan needs to see more Miyazaki and Aardman.
I have seen all of Miyazaki up through Porco Rosso (thanks to Scola), I meant to keep going chronologically but haven’t got around to it. But all I’ve seen fall before your 1995 cut-off. I looked at your link and realized I’ve seen the following non-Pixar:
Shrek
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the WereRabbit
Chicken Run
Lilo and Stitch
The Iron Giant
Shrek 2
The Emperor's New Groove
The Simpsons Movie
Antz
Pooh’s Heffalump Movie (courtesy of my niece)
Ice Age (yes, I'm ranking this below the Heffalump movie)
Of those, I remember liking the first three quite a bit. I saw both Lilo & Stitch and The Iron Giant based on buffista love for them. I was underwhelmed in both cases. I think I’m just not a big animation fan.
Of course, I adored Les Triplettes de Belleville and Persepolis, but don’t really count either as kids fare.
ETA: I fear Sean watched far too many prison movies as a child.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
a) This is SO TOTALLY GLOSSING OVER the racism inherent in singling out his bunniness every time they snatched sugary bliss from him, and b) You mother never taught you to share?
a) It would make no difference if he was a bunny or a toucan or a tiger or a naval captain.
b) Not with fuckin' bunnies, she didn't.

Oh god, the animated movie list. The top spot on my list is a three-way tie between Lilo and Stitch, Monsters Inc., and Kiki's Delivery Service.
After that, then there's Toy Story 2 (even if it makes me sob my eyes out at a certain point), The Incredibles, Finding Nemo ... and why the hell don't I own Emperor's New Groove, yet?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'd pay cash money to see that on YouTube.
Well, there was that Robot Chicken where they cast the Trix rabbit as Pacino in Scarface (basically). Of course, he ended up being denied his Trix in that too...

Hubby will not watch Toy Story 1. He was horrified that they left those other toys with the mean kid, because he didn't think the mean kid was completely reformed. The kid would recover and be even worse. Hubby has a low expectation of bullies and sadistic kids. He can't watch Toy Story 2 without brooding over the poor toys from Toy Story 1.

Pixar did a bunch of bumps for Saturday morning ABC shows after TS1 came out that are on the Ultimate Toy Box set (TS1, TS2, and a third disc of just extras). Quite a few of the mutant toys are shown playing with Buzz, Woody, and the rest of Andy's toys, which made me happy ("Legs," the Barbie legs with fishing pole torso, plays a mean game of Go Fish).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Quick comments!
Cars is definitely the worst Pixar movie. It's actually kind of BORING, and the main character is insufferable for half the movie.
Lilo and Stitch is awesome. "Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw."
Emperor's New Groove is also awesome. "Llama faaaaaace."
If I were to make a list, I would fail and just throw things at people. Except Ice Age would not be anywhere on it. Sorry, I cannot deal with prehistoric humans who shave and wear jewelry and have modern family social structures. Also, the movie had approximately two funny jokes. I will admit that the Skratt scenes were the best thing about the movie.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's a rare film that makes a reviewer consider giving up the movies altogether.
Remember when Siskel & Ebert reviewed that Tony Danza movie She's Outta Control and Gene's response was "Maybe I'll just quit"?
"...Jessica Alba... is to acting what Dame Judi Dench is to sex..."
Regardless of people's opinions of her attractiveness, I would at least imagine that Dame Judi Dench knows how to have sex.
(Not that Prince of Egypt was going to make my list.)
I'll give 'em credit for one thing, though. The Angel of Death from that 10th Plague sequence was way creepier than even the Devil from "Night on Bald Mountain."
That Trix rabbit still needed to just start shanking some kids, though.
What he needed to do was sick that cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs bird on the damn kids and eat himself some cereal while it was freaking out and making them run for their lives.
