That's what caused me to edit. Well, that and apparently the new Mighty Mouse cartoons he supervised in the late 80s were very cool. EDIT: TOTPD!

John Smith is not arrogant or greedy. He's not from my nation, that's for certain. It's only good because Billy Conolly voice stars as one of the sailors.

The sad quasi-ending, or the happy-ish coda? If you mean the coda, I totally understand; why couldn't they just leave us with memories of the Iron Giant making the ultimate sacrifice? Making it so he lived (a nuclear explosion, mind you) cheapens his sacrifice. Now, if you're talking about the tear-jerking part of the end, I would like to introduce your face to a friend of mine. Name's Club. Rusty Club. Either way, it's still my most favoritest animated movie of all time.

Urusei Yatsura is actually a classic Manga and TV series done by the same Woman who did Ranma and Inu Yasha, started the whole magic girlfriend genre. Saw some of the TV series, was funny but dated. Lots and Lots of characters. There are a bunch of movies, I hear some are horrible...
I heard the DtV Stich movie wasn't that bad... But all the other ones are just crimes against humanity. Lots of bad anime movies and OAVs out there... sometimes the movies are completly different in tone then the origanal series (Nadesico) sometimes you have movies that expect you to read the entire Manga and Novels, hard to do in America (Kenshin OAV 2, Nadesico again) and some are just plain bad (MD Geist)

I agree with Musca, A few of the Uresei Movies were horrible, but there was a classic or two among them.

But anyway, I'm with Matt Groening about the whole Christmas shows thing (on the ATO2S DVD commentary, he mentioned how most Christmas specials sucked) and the worst animated film I ever saw was probably Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer. Stiff, predictable dialogue from the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Bob Newhart along with bland, uninspiring animation make it the feature-length Christmas equivalent of those animated Bible-stories you used to get on ITV on a Sunday morning.

Jeff! 8 Crazy Nights is the cartoon based on a song that us Jewish adults have been waiting for. Also all Nick. movies and those Amblin Entertainment cartoons and Don Bluth crap. I hate that guy. My least favorite is probably Disney's Pocahontas, basically Poca lectures John Smith for 90 minutes about how much European settlers suck. I'm guessing you don't know about the sequel. You would hate that even more.

I saw the Pocahontas Sequel... The kids I was babysitting at the time just got it and they wanted to watch this. I blocked a good 95% of it out of my memory. I remember telling the kids what happened to the real Pocahontas.
I think you can forgive Little Nemo it was a comic from the 1910's. They don't age to well.

I find it hard to look past the history of the company for one thing. Than when I do manage to look past that and do rent a Disney movie it's some cutesy cliched movie with an already overused moral and if it's not that, than it's a movie based on a book that was ten-times better than the movie. The animation's good, there's no denying that, but I just don't see what sets Disney apart from the other cartoon studios, except for loads of money, tons of merchandise, and three or four theme parks (I'm counting Euro-Disneyland).
