Questions about your animated likes

[mythicmistress]

I would like to get some activity going, so here are some questions/discussion starters. (hopefully) I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries by doing this.

1. What is one of your favorite animated films growing up that is from a foreign country, if there is one?

2. What are five of your favorite animated films and why do you like them?

3. Do you like any web cartoons? If so, what are they?

4. Do you watch anime? If so, name some of your favorite anime.

5. What are five cartoons that you grew up with that you still enjoy?

1. man, i dont know if i even had any foreign animated favorites growing up... seeing as Winnie the Pooh is pretty well Americanized...

2. I kept crying during Wall-E, at the silent part in the beginning, because the animation was just so pretty I was overwhelmed. Honestly, all the major Pixar films could be on here. Except Cars, fuck a Cars.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the most technically fucknuts movie of all time.
I'll fight people over Lion King. It's a masterpiece, shit is Shakespearean.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind has to be on here. It's hard to pick just one Miyazaki for sure, but.
And Fantasia 2000 because if I don't love it who will damn it

3. I. Love. Homestar. Runner. and you can take that shit. to the bank.
I also used to watch Red vs Blue, but I lost track of it awhile ago.

4. [tosses aside curtain to reveal a creepy shrine to Revolutionary Girl Utena] come here and stay still i need to tell you about this show. stop running you only delay the inevitable.
I also enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist back in the days during the first series. Haven't seen Brotherhood yet, should really get on that.
I used to love Yu Yu Hakusho but like. Endless tournament arcs really wear you down.

5. I loved Invader Zim as a kid, and I still love Homestar Runner, which was probably the other formative one.

Eyyy, Utena fan!!! :D

Also, yeah, super hard to pick a fav Ghibli film ... Nausicaa is a close second for me.

HELL YEAH UTENA'S THE BEST

what's your fave ghibli film?

[sankseas]

Spirited Away :) I've watched it slightly more than Nausicaa lol

I love Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Just the technical aspects of the film (particularly most of the effects work) and the animation look amazing for something that was handled without computers for the most part.
