Oh my goodness! I loved watching disney. Beauty and the Beast was one of my favourite disney's ever, except for the ending. Is it just me, or would it not have been great if he stayed a beast? Oh and Lion King: classic.
Also, Fantasia (2000, I think), the part with the whales, sooo pretty. Yes, I will love Fantasia forever.
As for sequels, I don't bother watching disney sequels anymore. I watched Cinderella 2 and it basically killed Cinderella for me, not that I was much of a fan beforehand.

some people will, some people wont i guess.
Have you seen anything about the new movie 'Surfs Up'?? Talking penguins as main characters... now where do you think they got that idea...?
When i first saw the preview, in which the penguins are walking about and surfing on a hot beach, the first thing that came to mind was Billy Madison...
"It's to damn hot for a penguin to just be.. walking around!"

Not in the MacCarthy and Kennedy eras.
I acctually heard a lecture last year in my American History class that made a pretty believeable argument that Snow White is entierly an allusion to pagan and egyptian goddesses. Whether that's true or not we can only guess, but wouldn't it be cool if Disney were actually rocking the boat right under all our inocent noses.

Yeah, but Madagascar wasn't solely about penguins.
Disney/Pixar and Dreamworks have always copied each other. The thing is, they used to copy in such a way that each was a decent film in its own right. Sadly, this is no longer the case.

Over the hedge was a complete piece of shit.
as was shrek 3.
Which was a pity, as both 1 and 2 were brilliant, in my opinion.

Actually, Over The Hedge was much better than I had expected. It wasn't clever, it wasn't technically impressive, but it was a laugh if nothing else.

Fair enough. I had low expectations and I thought it was okay.

IT was more or less whenI realised that 3D animation had become a normal and widespread form of entertainment. I mean.. so far, it seemed to me as if all the CG movies were huge studio things and, when theres only one a year, you expect it to be good.
And that was when i realised that it was like normal movies.
Theres soo many, that theres also crap ones.
Up to that point, I think I had liked every CG movie.

Yeah, I know. Now they can make them so easily, they just churn out CG like they used to do with normal cartoons.

I don't think animation was ever something that could be "churned out" until now. Before advanced computer technology, animation was a very painstaking process, and as a result, most animated films were of higher quality.
But now, since it's become so comparatively easy to make an animated film, they have become more and more common, and of lower and lower quality.

thats true for a lot of half-ass, rushed, low budget stuff out there on TV, but there is a lot of high quality, well budgeted, 'GOOD' stuff out there aswell

yeah, why is it that seemingly all of the CG films nowadays come out at around the same time with extremely similar characters and settings.
There have been several animal escapes from the zoo, a couple of penguin movies, and in addition to shrek, another fairytale mash-up (though I cannot recall the name)
Pixar seems to be the only studio that is still original with it's CG films.

but pixar still works in conjunction with disney in alot of stuff.
Even the small amount of digital animation in Howls was noticeable on secondary viewings.

I was meaning that in recent years they had been making all kinds of awful films in the traditional cartoon style, which is what they're now doing with CG.
An example of a CG movie that was a rip-off and still good is Antz. Because the style is completely different (and the humour suprisingly adult), it works very well.
