Must...not...let...thread...d
ie...
Wow, I almost don't know where to begin. I remember seeing many of the now "classic" Disney films (Cinderella, Jungle Book, Snow White, etc.) when they trotted them out and gave McDees an excuse to hawk "collector" items. Gawd help me, I even have a vague memory of a smurf movie somewhere back in there.

I'm not the biggest Disney fan anymore, and have a daughter to boot, which puts me in the camp preferring Miyazaki, Pixar and others with stronger characters and storylines. Miyazaki's are easily 3 points higher if they haven't been dubbed.

I've been lucky enough to see many films on screens at fests, cons, and others, so I'll include them here. Probably the best time I had was getting invited by a friend who was an inker at Fox Animation before they shut down. She and others there were allowed to bring us into their screening theatre to watch Titan AE, and while the film itself was...ok, it was still hilarious listening to the employees point out all the mistakes they made, even if you only noticed a flicker if they gave you a heads up, and sometimes not even that. Honestly, it was a blast, despite being noisier than sitting in a theatre with every child asking frequent questions, and their parents actually taking three sentences to answer each one.

These are in no order whatsoever; my headache refuses to allow anything else...and will probably make my scores more scathing
