Oh yeah. I definitely preferred it to Death Proof, although that was pretty awesome, too.
I realize I've never seen The Rats of Nimh, either. Huh.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Well, yes, but I love him all the same.
I'm having a hard time picking a favorite.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I would totally have predicted that Nemo would be one of Aims' favourite Pixar.
We shall see how that holds up.
Have you gotten to whale yet?

We did and I loved the whole movie. Like, a lot. Am still surprised I haven't seen it all until tonight. Em's been watching it for years.
My favorite Pixar is a toss-up. I loved Nemo, and it now shares my top 4 with Ratatouille, The Incredibles and Wall-E. I feel that all four of those represent four facets of my personalities.

Hmmm, I associate fire more with Incredibles because of Syndrome's lava wall. Whereas, Wall-E and EVA are out in airless space, their space-dance seems...airier. Though WALL-E is pretty earthy. There's nothing in the Pixar catalog quite as airy as a Miyazaki, though I guess Up qualifies.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So my 1980's cartoon movie ignorance has come through. I had not seen nor read Rats of/Secret of NIMH.
Oddly, the book is far less traumatic & scary than the movie. (You know how most movies you watched as a kid, you went back and read the book and were horrified at how dark the story really was? This is the exact opposite.)
I was so obsessed with that movie when I was a kid. And by the time I read the book I was kind of disappointed by the lack of action.
I have a friend who works at NIMH, and refuses to believe the movie (or book) means THAT NIMH.
I had probably seen that movie a million times before I realized that NIMH = NIMH. And I grew up practically across the street.
