High placing for WoS&T shows what a little repping in the pre-threads will do.

Eric OTM. My favorite classic Disney.

*struts a bit, in my mind*

waking life really? *pukes all over the thread*

again, Dumbo above Pinocchio is insane. Came out a year after and feels like a b team effort

It's not as good as Pinocchio, but it's a perfectly formed little film.

i like dumbo a lot more than pinnochio.

*shrugs*

Dumbo is the single greatest Disney film ever, crows aside (or maybe not even aside; they seem to embody a certain running constant of -ism under Disney's surface).

I'd rather watch Dumbo. The only terrifying part is the drunk-sequence.

I can't believe those Linklater films placed that high. Crazy shit.

Waking Life was pretty cool to see as a college freshman or whatever, can't imagine it holding up at all. Some cool bits in the animation I guess? A Scanner Darkly was weeeeeak IMO, although I have to say I can't really remember anything about what happens in it, just left the theater thinking "meh."

Monsters, Inc., on the other hand, is just lovely.

wizard of speed is dope, never seen it

effects are amazing - running past the train wtf ftw - song is lame tho

bill plympton is so awesome -- did y'all see the simpsons couch gag he animated last year!?

Best Simpsons-related thing in what, 8 years?

trailer (best ever, apparently)

Now we can resume are previous Nausicaa talk! (The boxset manga arrived this week, btw. It's hueg.)

Nausicaa that high? Remind me what other Miyazaki have placed, I'm sure there've been some superior ones.

97: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro
71: Laputa: Castle in the Sky
67: Princess Mononoke
65: Porco Rosso
39: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

seems pretty standard, with Spirited Away & Totoro (& maybe Kiki) still to place?

I like all those other films better than Nausicaa.

(mostly agree w/ chap)

Watership Down is way too low.

Is it the one where humans have all killed each other in war, leaving stewardship of the planet to a bunch of anthropomorphized critters?

Haha, not quite, no.

That's "Peace on Earth". http://youtu.be/d8stkqssLYc

That post-apocalyptic toon where the owl reads the Bible has been bugging me for years.

I need to rewatch gohst in the shell

Love Ghost in the Shell, though first time I watched it I hated it. Gets better with each rewatch. As far as "conventional" anime canon (i.e. action/SF), probably my favorite.
