I have a feeling I know which one of these choices is going to top this poll, but I've been wrong before when it comes to predicting the actions of the people on this forum.  So which one did you like and why? |

Had to go w/ Roger Rabbit, as far as the actual animation stuff. But my sentimental choice would be Pete's Dragon, love it! Used to watch it all the time as a kid.  I also love Song of the South. |

Roger Rabbit, of course. But I was tempted to push it for Space Jam (which I haven't seen) just to be less predictable. |

Space Jam was pretty good, just not as classic as some of the others.

Well, no point in avoiding the innevitable anymore. I voted for "ROGER RABBIT" as well. For my reasons, just check out the Robert Zemeckis thread in the FAVOURITE DIRECTORS section. Suffice to say, it's a brilliant movie. I still haven't seen SONG OF THE SOUTH and thanks to these PC times we live in, it doesn't look like I will, unless I spring for one of those laserdiscs going for hundreds on eBay. Frankly, I don't wanna see it that bad.  |

I can barely remember going to see Song of the South in the theatre, my grandma took me to see it if I remember correctly. Yeah, it's a good movie, but you're right in saying it's not worthing paying big bucks for on Ebay.

I downloaded it...
I mean, seriously, how else am I going to see this movie?
Anyway, it was really good... and it's about as racist as Finding Nemo. People need to grow up.

I just saw LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION on cable and I thought it wasn't too bad. Not nearly as bad as critics made it out to seem anyway. People stayed away in droves when it was playing in theaters. Not sure why since it's pretty obvious that most people don't read movie reviews. It actually had several pretty funny moments, the animation was top notch, the voice acting was good, Brendan Fraser was a likeable lead. The weak points, I would have to say, are maybe Jenna Elfman, who I've never been able to warm up to, and unfortunately, Steve Martin as the main villain. Why did director Joe Dante have him act like a cartoon character as well?? These types of movies are funnier if the real people around the animated characters act mostly like real people and not cartoons. Let the cartoons be the cartoons. Anyway, Martin was way over the top.
This flick, like most Dante movies, is filled with movie in-jokes & sight gags. Everything from PSYCHO to STAR WARS to Dante's own GREMLINS is referenced. It'll take repeated viewings just to catch all the jokes. Plus there are lots of cameos & brief appearances too. Watch for Ron Perlman, Roger Corman & Heather Locklear among others.
Anyway, a pretty fun movie that didn't deserve the blasting it took by critics in it's short theatrical run. It's a family movie folks, lighten up. Not a classic, but worth seeing if you're a Looney Tunes fan. 6.5/10

Hey Newbies and people who maybe have been here a while, but never saw this thread, how about voicing your opinions?

Like everyone else I went for Roger Rabbit as well. I mean, it's cartoon noir baby!
Though Mary Poppins pretty much encompasses a lot of my childhood.

I voted for Roger Rabbit, because I felt it was the best movie, and also it was sort of at the top of its non-CGI generation. I've never seen "Song of the South," and more than likely, if it's never aired on TV in some form, I never will. Yet, it was parodied rather well in "Fletch Lives."

Hold off on buying some kind of SONG OF THE SOUTH bootleg. There have been rumblings that it may finally hit DVD in our lifetimes.

I also love Song of the South.
