If you haven't seen ROCK-A-DOODLE, you should, because it's got the most baffling songs of all time & the animators forgot what proportions & perspective were.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:41 (eighteen years ago)

also not 'split Mormon' but a man who split from Disney Studios, where he worked with Tim Burton on 'The Fox & the Hound'!

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:43 (eighteen years ago)

I almost want to say the Xanadu bit just for being a key piece of WTF in the perfect WTF movie. Anyway, Secret of NIMH still.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

NIMH will win (NEEERRRDDSS) but i am casting symbolic vote for "FIEVEL GOES WEST", jimmy stewart's last film

ghost rider, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:46 (eighteen years ago)

That movie isn't on the list; project was taken outta Bluth's hands.

I graduated high school while a person played its song "Somewhere Out There" on a pipe organ.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:49 (eighteen years ago)

i would've purposefully left out NIMH because seriously yr gonna have a lot of ppl not even consider the rest of the movies (see also why i would leave tron, flight of the navigator et al off a disney live action poll--BECAUSE ILXOR DUDES ARE NERDS). ;_;

i totally forgot about the existence of rock-a-doodle

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:51 (eighteen years ago)

I forgot everyone loves electricity-wielding darkness rats of the underworld. Oops. :(

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

Xanadu, for sure

Mr. Que, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

it's just like there are certain things guaranteed to get everything else on the poll dismissed off-hand on this board :(

but i voted for american tail :D

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:52 (eighteen years ago)

yr gonna have a lot of ppl not even consider the rest of the movies

In this case, I haven't *seen* most of the rest of the movies, aside from American Tail. Which I do like, though.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

Only the non-NIMH seekers who have actually endured "The Pebble and the Penguin" can get in my little black book.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

The only ones I've seen apart from NIMH are American Tail, way too long ago to have a sensible opinion of, and Anastasia, from which I learnt that the Russian Revolution was caused by Rasputin making a pact with the Devil.

chap, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:01 (eighteen years ago)

To an entertaining song, no less! And obligatory circling evil owls and sparks of electricity flying around for no reason!

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:02 (eighteen years ago)

I vote for Space Ace

had no idea this guy was a mormon!

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:03 (eighteen years ago)

i voted for american tail just cos i loved it as a kid. secret of nimh is prob objectively better but it always kind of freaked me out.

didn't he get his start animating on disney's robin hood? i'd vote for that one.

J.D., Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:08 (eighteen years ago)

he's on a bunch of Disney's late 70s stuff (along with Bill Peet!)

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:08 (eighteen years ago)

I have to admit that I clicked on this thread thinking "NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM! NIHM!"

Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:12 (eighteen years ago)

wondering how long that'd take

ghost rider, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

Even though I prefer NIMH I'm voting Titan AE because I'm not sure why, something to do with them trying to pilot that mechanical planet through the ice space field or something.

nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:15 (eighteen years ago)

Rock-A-Doodle is great though!

nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:16 (eighteen years ago)

i was obsessed, obsessed with rockadoodle in short pants days

A B C, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

i'm split btwn nimh and american tale and there is a voice in my head telling me to go for all dogs

A B C, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:24 (eighteen years ago)

i have been party to three groups of girls talking about how they'd fuck dmitri from anastasia if he were brought to our world a-ha stylee

A B C, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

max, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:35 (eighteen years ago)

haha yeah Titan A.E. is going to have to get my vote as well since COMPLETELY TERRIFYING MOUSE MOVIE is not cool enough for school

Where the fuck is The Black Cauldron in all this?

TOMBOT, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

Duders it's one he directed/produced. Movies, too, which is why I didn't list the Laserdisc videogame he made. Black Cauldron is hard-fucking-core, tho.

Abbott, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

yeah I mean wtf @ don bluth's idea of an appropriate body count for children's cartoons

TOMBOT, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

Black Cauldron is Disney...? Terrible adaptation, okay film.

Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 21:55 (eighteen years ago)

Tokyo Disneyland has a guided tour of crazy Black Cauldron shit/animatronics in the basement of Cinderella's castle!

"Titan AE" was awesome.

HI DERE, Thursday, 14 June 2007 02:32 (eighteen years ago)

I would have expected All Dogs to be the runaway winner rather than NIMH.

milo z, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:10 (eighteen years ago)

scuse me, what is NIMH? i've heard of everything else on the list.

darraghmac, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:13 (eighteen years ago)

This thread will tell you more.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:23 (eighteen years ago)

thanks ned, but now i must see this.

darraghmac, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:33 (eighteen years ago)

Precisely!

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:35 (eighteen years ago)

land before time

latebloomer, Thursday, 14 June 2007 03:47 (eighteen years ago)

my whedon allegiance tells me to go for titan a.e.

Gukbe, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:19 (eighteen years ago)

Pizza Hut had these killer LBT tie-in hand puppets, and one of the commercials for them had WANG GHUNG on the soundtrack IIRC

latebloomer, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:29 (eighteen years ago)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time

Inaccuracies

* The dinosaurs featured existed in different time periods. Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus existed in the late Jurassic period, while Triceratops, Pteranodon, Saurolophus and Tyrannosaurus existed in the late Cretaceous period. Therefore, the period where this film takes place is unspecified.
* Pteranodon ate fish and lived near beaches and coastal areas, and didn't have teeth.
* Tarpits are not just giant pools of tar, they were supposed to have a layer of water and sand this way the creature being fooled would not realize it was a trap. Also tarpits did not form during the age of the dinosaurs, they formed during the Cenozoic era.
* A Dimetrodon appears once in the film, which would have been extinct before the dinosaurs appeared. Also Dimetrodon was bigger than the way it is depicted in the film.
* Pachycephalosaurus were not carnivores, and did not have horns. However, in the sequels they are seen in the Great Valley so they might not have been trying to eat Cera.
* Tyrannosaurus did not stand up straight, according to current paleontological thought.
* Grass is often seen in the series, and did not grow until the cenozoic, shortly after the dinosaurs died out (there was grass ancestors found in titanosaur dung).
* A Meganeura appears briefly in the movie, smaller than it was in real life.
* When an animal is ready to hatch from its egg (including a dinosaur), it takes a few hours for the animal to come out.
* Dinosaurs did not speak English.

latebloomer, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:30 (eighteen years ago)

oh i guess it wasn't wang chung

latebloomer, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:34 (eighteen years ago)

* Dinosaurs did not speak English.

Begging the question as to what they did speak.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 June 2007 04:38 (eighteen years ago)

I had the storybook adaptation of Nimh years before I ever saw the movie for some reason, and I'm still determined to name my first kid 'nicodemus'. American tail is the one tho.

tremendoid, Thursday, 14 June 2007 05:38 (eighteen years ago)

Secret of NIMH.

I have an irrational hatred towards Anastasia due to every girl my age somehow being completely in love with that fucking "At the beginning" song, argghh fuck you, Richard Marx!

Also guys, check out the Titan AE soundtrack - alt-rock galore! I remember loving that Bliss 66 track, not sure if I would now tho.

1. "Over My Head" — Lit
2. "The End is Over" — Powerman 5000
3. Cosmic Castaway — Electrasy
4. "Everything Under the Stars" — Fun Lovin' Criminals
5. "It's My Turn to Fly" — The Urge
6. "Like Lovers (Holding On)" — Texas
7. "Not Quite Paradise" — Bliss 66
8. "Everybody's Going to the Moon" — Jamiroquai
9. "Karma Slave" — Splashdown
10. "Renegade Survivor" — The Wailing Souls

"Anastasia, from which I learnt that the Russian Revolution was caused by Rasputin making a pact with the Devil"

ha ha yes!! those evil bolsheviks etc.

Frogman Henry, Thursday, 14 June 2007 06:09 (eighteen years ago)

All now is clear to me.

ladies and gentlemen, the genesisbirth of lolsaurs.

tremendoid, Thursday, 14 June 2007 06:44 (eighteen years ago)

I went for All Dogs because NIMH will get plenty of votes as is. It was hard to say no to Rock-A-Doodle though.

jessie monster, Thursday, 14 June 2007 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

* Grass is often seen in the series, and did not grow until the cenozoic, shortly after the dinosaurs died out (there was grass ancestors found in titanosaur dung).

this seems like a picky point, grass v "grass ancestors" depicted in a cartoon, considering there are SO MANY OTHER REASONS TO HATE THIS MOVIE.

the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 14 June 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

FINALLY remembered why I know this name. Dragon's Lair! Amirite?

The Land Before Time is on HBO Family right now and you get exactly 12 minutes in before OH AND THE DINOSAURS ARE RACIST AGAINST EACH OTHER DO YOU SEE and then you get another hour of these babytalking little assholes. Fuck this.

marmotwolof, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:36 (eighteen years ago)

Is it the first one or godforbid one of the 34576 sequels?

Not only did that movie make me cry my ass off, I hated that fucking triceratops more than anything. If you're going to include a token female (at the suggestion of producer Steven Spielburg no less!), don't make her an irritating sasshole. They should've all been retarded Buster Keatons like that one stoned-looking big one who never did anything at all.

Abbott, Saturday, 16 June 2007 01:01 (eighteen years ago)

it was the first one and reading the wiki pissed me off because Lucas and Spielberg made Bluth edit out 19 scenes worth of kickass T Rex carnage for fear of braking kids' branes

marmotwolof, Saturday, 16 June 2007 01:06 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, those dicks; Bluth films are scary as fuck under his guidance & god bless him for it.

Abbott, Saturday, 16 June 2007 01:09 (eighteen years ago)

three years pass...

Dragon's Lair just got rereleased for the DS!
