@Brood, we really need to talk about these delusions of yours.

The delusions about Hangover being good, or his delusions about having a girlfriend?? :wacko:

I think the thing with Up is that the first 10 minutes are just so brilliantly done. It is my favorite movie opening in a long, long time. The score was very well done as well.

Yep, the opening of the movie is easily the best part.

If I were to rank Pixar's movies over the last ten to fifteen years or so, it would go

Finding Nemo
Toy Story
Monster's Inc.
Up
Wall-E
Incredibles
A Bug's Life
Cars
Ratatouille
Toy Story 2

You're all going to hate me for this but I couldn't stand Finding Nemo... I thought it was the least funny and entertaining ixar movies. Monsters Inc would probably have to be my favourite.

Also Emperors New Groove >>>>>>>>>>> All other Disney Films, EVAR!

You failed utterly with that first statement...but redeemed yourself with the last.

Finding Nemo > any other new millenium animated movie, hands down. DORY! :>

Also, I must say Wall-E touched something vulnerable inside me, really. Especially the dialogues and interactions between Wall-E and EVA :> I found it interesting: just how much can you communicate with just animation and voice use and no actual words beyond names. awesome :wacko:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Heh, glad I have some good qualities! :wacko:

Just couldn't enjoy Finding Nemo and I don't know why...

Perhaps it's nostalgia but I rate Toy Story above Finding Nemo. Also Ratatuille is, IMO, rated too low in MTS's list. For me it's just below those two.

Of course, if we talk of animated films in general, Ice Age beats them all.

ha! I was surprised too. Then again, the touchy dad-son moments in Finding Nemo get me trembling to regain my manliness too.

I never liked Toy Story. Could be that I never had any action figures as a kid.

Ice Age is my second favourite overall.

Overall I agree pretty much with MTS' list, i'd put cars dog last

I always really enjoyed Shrek. Ice Age was brilliant too, mind you.

There's no such thing as Shrek 3, and they're not making a Shrek 4.

If only

The Incredibles is the best, of course.

I watched Up at the cinema. The room was dusty. I was tired. My eyes were sore from the all-night crodile-wrestling I had been doing. Yeah, that was it. Bloody cartoons.

I disagree. Ratatouille was so very, very boring.

As for the best animated films ever, can't go past Emperor's New Groove and The Lion King.

Bah! Disney's Robin Hood FTW!!!!!

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Is that the one where Robin Hood is a fox? Yeah, that's a pretty awesome film, but it's got nothing on ENG and TLK.

So wrong! The film is ok at best and rather annoying in many parts. I'll definitely agree with The Lion King being one the best Disney films ever.

And so the First denied their Mother,
in their fury, and so were cast out,
doomed children of Mother Dark.

ENG is one of the funniest films I have ever seen, the humour is far beyond most Disney films, and there is some classic randomness in there...

Now that I understand which film you are all talking about( the Italian title is a bit different), I don't understand all the love. Sure it's a funnny movie,I agree, but, IMO, it's mosty random humor.

Patrick Warburton makes that film for me. So good.

And I just noticed you have a Steve Holt avatar...+rep.
