Wait does anybody remember that Disney movie about animals, and man invades their forest because there was a radiation spill somewhere so they're forced to move out and they had to cross a street and go into a desert and doge owls...
Yeah, Fern Gully was a great movie. I never had it but we always watched it at school on rainy Friday afternoons when our teacher was way too tired to make us do anything else.
Edit: I'll tell you what were amazing Disney movies : The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under.
Classics.
That introduced me to the great bird that is the Albatross.
And you can not beat George C. Scott as the villain in Resuer's Down Under.
Also
God this movie was so freaky, and those fucking owls.
Twiddle-e-dee, twiddle-e-dee They're running out, they're running out They're running out of batterieeeeeees Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, no batteries!:whistle:
Despite being made for children, it has a few things that might be considered a little too grave for the genre. For example, animals are shown being suffocated by poisonous fumes, and it is more than implied that a very large number do not survive

The best Disney movie of all time is Dumbo. It's the best combination of an unlikely hero and racism in the form of singing crows.
Goofey Movie began with disrupting a school assembly to perform an unwarranted rock concert.
Tell me you never wanted to do that. Just try.
But Cats Don't Dance was infinitly better than all these.
And less furry and more cartoony because all the people weren't the same species (like the goofey movie).
Cats Don't Dance had a visual reference to the Grinch who Stole Christmas, when the villian makes the exact same expression the grinch had when he first thought of dressing up like santa.
That was the funniest part of the movie for me. And the songs were awesome too.
I loved the freakshow appliances and how the mechanic would tear them apart while they were still alive. I think they even showed their 'blood' in the form of oil.
Oh and the mechanic's dog could drive his monster-truck.
And the bit where they arrive at the kid's apartment and meet all the high-tech 80s gadgets and they sing that song about the old guys being obsolete.
Oh god, the scene where Toaster is standing next to a flower, and the flower sees its reflection and starts to hug it. Then toaster gets pissed and hides behind a bush. When he looks back the flower's dead.
Oh hell, and the AC unit that kills himself early on from over-heating! Flames shooting out of his busted 'mouth'.
Blankie: "Poowa aiwconditionur"
Lisping, childlike blanket learning about hard reality.
Don't worry kids, 'Master' fixes him later.
Was there any character who didn't almost-die at some point? Even the 'Master' at the end nearly gets crushed in a compactor. And they blatantly murdered all those old junker cars.
EDIT: This is why we're so much better-adjusted to reality than the current generation. Our cartoons were some hard shit and we didn't even realize it.

I have to say, though, that shows like The Fairly Odd Parents and Foster's manage to teach a few good lessons.
Oh agreed. It's because our generation is starting to take the reins. We had a weak link in the chain between our childhoods and our childrens'. Syndicated licensing all over the place, watered-down, shitty japanese cartoons being brought in every week. Companies were so afraid of controversy but way . CTN ain't afraid of nothin since they know their prime audience is in college, not preschool.
Nickelodeon was growing balls when they invited Jhonen Vasquez to do a cartoon for them, but then they canceled it because it was the kind of cartoon a guy like Jhonen Vasquez would write.
So, I was just thinking (and humming "I2I"), since you jerks got my mind on the Goofy Movie.
There's a distinct lack of Peg, Pete's wife and PJ's mom, not to mention whatever the little sister's name was. Considering what a d-bag Pete is, I wouldn't be surprised if she divorced him and took custody of her daughter. What say we over-analyze children's animated movies a little more?

The Ducktales movie was awesome.
It is awesome.
Everything about it is glorious.
butters
you have no soul
He's right though.

Tim Curry!
You're drawn to my eccentric Brawl Code: 4596 9143 4529
I do like Tim Curry and part of me wishes he never did Rocky Horror so we'd have seen more of him in big-time comedy roles.
You might get a prize for being the 1 millionth person to tell me that.
I'm not crazy, what movie is this?
And you can not beat George C. Scott as the villain in Resuer's Down Under.

We find an energy far apart
and maybe love is the reason why
for the first time ever, we're seeing eye to eye
Oh Power Drive, you musical genious.
this is probably up there as one of my most beloved childhood movies
i should watch it again and see how it holds up
The vacuum commits suicide
That's what I took it as
i want to go rent a billion disney movies now
Tell me you never wanted to do that. Just try.

my childhood has been tainted
And when the toaster jumps into that cog machine.
That was the funniest part of the movie for me. And the songs were awesome too.
yeah, but the toaster was brave and was trying to save someone/thing
The vacuum is eating his own cord
Oh and the mechanic's dog could drive his monster-truck.

This is why nobody likes black people.
Oh wait, no it's not.
