Plague Dogs is great, one of my favorite movies. But totally heartbreaking, esp. if you like dogs.

too low for Bimbo's Initiation!
I'm not sure what you mean here? As in, we should read the book instead and thus the film is worthless? Does that mean you've never enjoyed any adaptation ever? No matter how skilfully directed/acted/edited?
I'm slightly less hardline about this as a principle than when I was 7. but in this specific case, Briggs is so warm and inviting at first, and (as in all his work) the audience is drawn in so much by how much of a hand-made, one-creator artifact each page and panel is, with the colour so splotched and unblended; and then the adaptation hurls all of that charm away with herky-jerky motions and smoothed-out character models with dead eyes and iirc a really stiff clash btwn flat-colour figures and immobile painted bgs.
UGH I just looked at the first minute or so on youtube to check my decades-old memory and opening with real news footage! having him read TV coverage in the newspaper? crossing back and forth btwn film and cartoon! COMPOSITING FILMED SKIES INTO CARTOON BGS! him on the bus where Jim is animated by one person or team, the teenage couple on the other side are obviously animated by an apprentice team, rocking that 30's bouncy motion, LOOPING one second's action even though they then move afterwards, and the couple up the back being non-animated part of the background UGH UGH UGH
The Snowman can fuck off too imo (actually I've never seen it. I did see the Irn-Bru ad that parodies it, on the internets, though.)

Kung Fu Panda is one where I spent some time reconsidering where to put it in the ballot - it's shiny and corporate and it has a terrible sequel, but on the other hand it's flawless for what it is, it's funny and fat-positive and a great Kung Fu film made by people who clearly love Kung Fu. That trailer, though, is terrible.

8 Ball Bunny -- didn't find a decent YT of this, but damn did I feel the surge of memories, I couldn't believe how much empathy it elicited from me (well, there *is* the cute as hell penguin).
