I didn’t like Toy Story either. Too scary. And I saw it AFTER TS2 came out. Shrek and The Emperor’s New Groove rock. NOT Kronk’s New Groove. That was just stupid.

Anyone plan on seeing The Princess and the Frog?

I admit, I have kind of a crush on Pixar. Up was great, though I sobbed through good chunks of it. (That’s nothing new though, most Pixar movies do that to me.) Overall I think my favorites are Wall*E and The Incredibles. Wall*E is just such a wonderful character, and I think overall The Incredibles is the most easily re-watchable.

No Ben 10 or Danny Phantom, for me, but I’m very much a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Great show, crossing my fingers for the film.

Yeah, Avatar is great. Puppet is pretty big fan. I’m just going to go ahead and say, the movie will probably be terrible.

I love Avatar! But I didn’t like the ending either… mainly because I was a Zutara shipper. But after Mai had a change-of-heart, I couldn’t decide between Maiko and Zutara…

The Dragon Turtle seemed like a stretch to me. Sure, they showed a statue and a picture once per season, but they didn’t elaborate on spiritbending at all. Which is a shame, since they could have swept it in on one of the spirit realm episodes. Just have that face-stealer guy mention it in his episode :/

Its just that they build up all of this angst in having to kill the guy, and then its “Uhp, nope, magic turtle power ftw”. Cheesed me off =/

Honestly, I would have prefered it if either;
A) Aang dies (either beating him and then sacrifices himself, or the Firelord ‘surrendering’, then breaking out some super-lightning and smiting his bald *#&), but the comet has passed overhead, ruining the Firelord’s chances. With his army in ruins and Ba-Sing-Se liberated, the Earth Kingdom is able to strike back and invade the Fire Nation. Cue the next avatar being born…

B) The Firelord is beaten, but instead of surrendering, tries a last ditch effort of shooting lightning. Aang reflects the lightning, and The Firelord, surprised, takes it in the face. This can either kill or cripple him, but either way he has taken a karmic beatdown.

But, I don’t write TV shows :D

South Park, yeah. This season’s rather good, but the last two felt like…a checklist of things to make fun of, sorta. (Tourette’s, check. Breast cancer, check. China, Britney Spears? Check, check.) Nothing’s been quite as good as the tenth season, though. That was my favorite.

Yeah, that episode’s so underappreciated.

Has he eaten a potato chip yet? :D

Mmmm…. Xanatos c:

Zuko is pretty hot… I like Sokka, too. Especially when he’s being all cute and angsty. huggles Sokka

cough OK, I’m back to being normal now.

I’ll have to agree with RVL and swenson; both Zuko and Sokka are awesomely lovable, and pretty darn good looking for men of the two-dimensional variety.

In terms of the movie… I don’t know. There is so much potential in the material, if it’s done right, it could be really incredible. I think I’m just going to have continue on with my fingers crossed and hope for the best. At least the Jesse-McCartney-as-Zuko thing didn’t pan out. Dev Patel can at least act, although I would have preferred him for Sokka.

First season, I think.

Oh dear… I had forgotten about that charming detail.

I’ll cross my toes as well.

I think there were hints about spiritbending (like when Aang was able to find Appa in the swamp). It could have been set up a lot better though.

The third season felt sort of rushed towards the end. My favorite parts of the series, though, are during the second season, where all the characters play off each other nicely (especially in ‘The Blind Bandit’ — the fight scene between Toph and Aang makes me smile every time I watch it). The rich and believable characters, who contributed to a moderately intricate story, was what made the show so fun to watch for me.

I love Wall-E so much. Although I wonder if it’s because it reminds me of two people who used to use it as their avatars.

Either way, yes, I also tear up when he’s trying to wake Eve.

I just about lost it when Wall*E almost crushed his roach friend… The change in his eyes, the difference between ‘souled’ Wall*E and ‘mechanical’ Wall*E is incredibly touching, and really a crazy feat of animation.

@Steph- I’ve been meaning to say, I love your icon! Daria is awesome.

Lost it as in, burst into sobs :-) I did that a few times, actually… when Wall*E was trying to wake up Eve, when Wall*E got crushed saving Eve and Eve couldn’t find the right chip, when Wall*E lost his memories… I think I even cried during the space-dancing scene because it was so beautiful. For what it’s worth, I don’t usually cry during movies, but Wall*E just made a basket case out of me.

Yay, Incredibles!

Did you ever watch the sock puppet version? It’s awesome.

It’s an easter egg on the DVD

How did you do?

:O

Coooongraaaats!!!! :D

Now make a cartoon.

Whatever happened to the “Physics of Alagaesia” series?

Used to. Loved the parody of the superhero genre.

“SPOOOOOON!” :D

“Sometimes you can lay an egg, and still feel like a man” :D

Have you talked with Complete Bastard today? My words are having quite the effect today…

:P

To repeat what I said in the animation thread I started before I was notified of this thread:

My favorite animated movie happens to be Tarzan, followed closely by Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Honestly, I don’t care much for the small amount of anime I’ve seen. I don’t understand why the frame rate is so poor for much of it. The only anime I recall liking was Princess Mononoke.

Hater.

Indeed.

Booooooooooooo.

You don’t like South Park?

While I’d like to throw it a bone, anime does have its flaws. I can’t get into any of the shonen series. Most of the more recent shows out there are pretty average. And Japan’s made more harem fanservice crap than the world will ever need.

Still, there are some good shows out there like Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist (both versions), Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Paranoia Agent, and plenty more.

It’s like any other medium. None are exempt from Sturgeon’s Law.

I like Avatar… and yeah, I’ve never really been able to get into anime. Manga, yes, anime… not so much.
