Upcoming Animated Musicals Hall of Fame

[gbgoodies]

This is my first time running a Hall of Fame, so we may have to work out some bugs together, but I'll do my best to make everyone happy.

For those of you who don't know how a HoF works, everyone who joins nominates one movie. In this case, it will be an Animated Musical Movie.

Once all the nominations are in, (we'll work together to decide on a good deadline for this), everyone who nominated a movie will watch all the movies, in whatever order you want to watch them, and then we will discuss them here on the board.

When we're done watching all the movies, (we'll agree on a deadline for this too), everyone who joined will PM me a list of the movies, ranked #1 - however many movies were nominated, and then I will calculate the votes and announce the winner.

I haven't had a chance to compile the rules yet, but I will list the rules in this post tomorrow. If you have any questions, please ask.

You can start calling "dibs" on your nominations now right here in this thread.

Beauty and the Beast

Now how fast was that!?! :p

[SilentVamp]

Beauty and the Beast

Now how fast was that!?! :p
WHATEVER!!!!! :rolleyes:

Now I have to think about this! Yeah, you beat me to it! Congratulations! But I think it is just your evil genius self at work again! You know you're to blame for last night's events. ;)

[gbgoodies]

That's funny because I was thinking that whoever picks Beauty and the Beast will probably win. :lol:

I'm probably the only one who wasn't going to pick that because I like to pick movies that I think are underrated and underseen.

BTW, I watched a little bit of Team America, and if Camo wants to nominate it, it's okay with me if it's okay with everyone else. It's not really animated, but it's not live-action either, so I'll allow it in this HoF if nobody objects.

[Ðèstîñy]

WHATEVER!!!!! :rolleyes:

Actually, I just hold a severely high score for getting around on this board. My banning record is insane. Something like 22 seconds 3 times, and then 34 seconds for the last. I move like greased lightening, girl friend!:D

[Miss Vicky]

Oh what the hell, I'm in.

I nominate The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Swan]

I'd like to nominate The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'm hoping someone else nominates Fantasia. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, so I can't really nominate it as I don't remember much about it, but I've been meaning to rewatch it.

[Ðèstîñy]

I don't care. To me, whoever runs the famer, should decide everything. I'm too easy going, I suppose. I just like for it to be peaceful. I like peaceful. I REALLY LIKE PEACEFUL!!! :p

[Miss Vicky]

Well crap. Why don't you take Nightmare and I'll take Charlotte's Web then, Swan.

[Swan]

Well crap. Why don't you take Nightmare and I'll take Charlotte's Web then, Swan.

Thanks Vicky, appreciate it.

[SilentVamp]

Well, I have to be honest. For one brief moment I looked at Pinterest. And I went back and there it was! All that went through my mind was "Not again!". :D

Well, I have 2 films in my mind. I will think about it tonight and if nobody has said anything, I will announce my nomination tomorrow.

[Miss Vicky]

One question though, does Fantasia even count as a musical? It's set to classical pieces, but to me a musical involves characters singing, which Fantasia lacks.

[Camo]

Sorry for being a d earlier GBG :) . South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut?

[Swan]

Sorry for being a d earlier GBG :) . South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut?

Oh that's a good one. I love "It's Easy, M'kay". :D

[Miss Vicky]

Sorry for being a d earlier GBG :) . South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut?

Ugh. That won't score high with me. Then again, being that this is an animated musicals HOF and I dislike most musicals, it's hard to say how well/poorly it will actually do on my ballot

[Camo]

Oh that's a good one. I love "It's Easy, M'kay". :D



I meant a dashing fellow!

[gbgoodies]

Sorry for being a d earlier GBG :) . South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut?


It's okay. We're good. :up:

IMDB lists South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut as both animation and musical, so it's eligible. :up:

[gbgoodies]

One question though, does Fantasia even count as a musical? It's set to classical pieces, but to me a musical involves characters singing, which Fantasia lacks.


I'm trying to be as lenient as possible with the nominations so that everyone's happy, so as long as nobody objects, Fantasia would be eligible.

But I knew I should have added a comment about no spider movies. :eek:
Just kidding. :lol:

[Camo]

Ugh. That won't score high with me. Then again, being that this is an animated musicals HOF and I dislike most musicals, it's hard to say how well/poorly it will actually do on my ballot

SERIOUSLY!!??!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?

I'd be happy to make SFS like bets on what MV will like. Except MV doesn't like anything :D . And I don't cheat :D

I don't expect South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut to rank high on my ballot either, but I've actually never seen a full episode of the TV show, so maybe it will surprise me. I watch "The People's Court" every day, and Judge Marilyn Milian quotes from the TV show a lot, and she's awesome, so how bad can the show be?

[Miss Vicky]

SERIOUSLY!!??!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?

Yes, I seriously hate South Park.

[Swan]

Yes, I seriously hate South Park.

[gbgoodies]

Just a note. I'm adding the nominations to the first post of this thread as people call "dibs", so if you nominated something and you don't see it listed there, please let me know so I can add it to the list.

Also, I'm trying to do this as democratically as possible, so if anyone has any questions about eligibility of a movie, we can try to make a group decision here. Hopefully we'll be able to work it out together. If not, my decision will be final, (and hopefully as fair as possible).

[gbgoodies]

Also, if anyone wants to change their nomination, changes will be allowed as long as we haven't started the HoF yet, but obviously once we start, there will be no more changes allowed.

[Miss Vicky]

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/southpark/images/0/03/Craig.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080901225415

Ingrate.

[Camo]

Yes, I seriously hate South Park.

So SC got pulled up for being xenophobic, and MV hasn't been banned get :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure SC didn't get pulled up, but what has MV not been banned yet?


Also don't tell MV that I like her

[Ðèstîñy]

Yes, I seriously hate South Park.

Ditto!

[jiraffejustin]

I love the South Park movie, if Camo didn't want to join this one, I would have gone that route. When would I need to have my nomination in if I was going to join? I haven't decided yet, and I am having a tough time coming up with my nomination.

I haven't set a deadline yet, but it should be at least a week before we close the nominations. I want to give everyone a chance to decide if they want to join, and what movie they want to nominate.

[gbgoodies]

I added the release years to the nominated movies listed in the first post. They should be correct, but if anyone notices a mistake, please let me know. Thanks.

[Monkeypunch]

Can I call Jungle Book? That was one of my faves as a kid, and it has Louis Prima as a singing orangutan, so obviously I like it. :D

[Camo]

That **** is animated Monkeypunch, you should be ashamed of yourself :D

[Monkeypunch]

It is. :up:

Was I not animated enough?

[Miss Vicky]

Well so far this is turning out to be one really easy HOF in terms of locating the nominated films. With the exception of South Park, all of the nominated films are in my movie collection.

ETA:

Pretty obscure one coming up Teacher's Pet you guys took all of the good ones :mad:

I spoke too soon.

I got rid of that because I realized no one said The Little Mermaid yet

LOL.

Now you've gone and changed it and what I said is true again. Everything but South Park is in my collection.

[Nope1172]

Teacher's Pet is still pretty good though, check it out

Another great choice. :up:

[gbgoodies]

The only movie called Teacher's Pet that I've heard of is an old classic starring Clark Gable and Doris Day. I'll have to look for an animated movie with the same name.

I think I'm only missing South Park and Charlotte's Web in my personal collection, but I know that I have both of them in the warehouse.

It doesn't have a great rating on IMDB, but that's never stopped me from watching a movie before, so I won't let it stop me now.

Plus it stars both Nathan Lane and Kelsey Grammer, so it should be pretty good. :)

[Gatsby]

I nominate Fantasia.

The only Disney animated film in my 100, and for a good reason. The segments all play together in harmony, even though they're all totally different. The imagery and music are things I can listen and watch all day long.

I was originally planning to nominate South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, but I saw Swan had already nominated it, or Frozen to annoy everyone. :p

Don't get your hopes up, last time I saw the movie was when I was very young, and I loved it, it could very easily be a piece of ****

[gbgoodies]

There's usually a schedule for the HoFs so we don't have too many of them going on at the same time. There was only supposed to be one Musical HoF, but it got divided into two separate ones, (Live-Action and Animated), at the last minute.

I know that there's a Documentary one scheduled after these, but I'm not sure what's on the schedule after that.

Camo nominated that, not Swan. I let Swan nominate The Nightmare Before Christmas, even though I could've held onto it.

Just to let you know, Swan nominated The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Camo nominated South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

[Miss Vicky]

So actually I don't have Beauty and the Beast in my collection. I thought I'd picked it up when I bought a bunch of other Disney classics, but apparently not. I do have Fantasia, though.

[gbgoodies]

Don't get your hopes up, last time I saw the movie was when I was very young, and I loved it, it could very easily be a piece of ****


That's okay. I'll watch it with an open mind. I love a lot of "kids movies", so I wouldn't be surprised if I love it.

[gbgoodies]

Do you know where one can find this schedule?


I'd have to go searching for it. I think it's somewhere in the Tournaments section, but Godoggo was keeping it up to date. I don't think it's been bumped at all since she left.

[gbgoodies]

I got lucky and found the Diamond Edition of Beauty and the Beast at a garage sale for $1, and it was still brand new.

[Gatsby]

I don't trust someone who sells a good copy of an animated masterpiece for a dollar.

I buy DVDs at garage sales all the time. You would be amazed at how many people sell brand new DVDs for $1 or less, regardless of the movie.

I'm not sure, but I think the schedule was somewhere in this thread:

There's also some talk about the schedule in this thread:

[Sane]

Is Allegro Non Troppo animated enough or is Gauche the Cellist musical enough? Whichever qualifies I'll nominate.

[gbgoodies]

Is Allegro Non Troppo animated enough or is Gauche the Cellist musical enough? Whichever qualifies I'll nominate.


I only saw Allegro Non Troppo once, and I've never even heard of Gauche the Cellist.

I remember that Allegro Non Troppo had quite a bit of animation, but there was some live action too, so it kind of falls in between the two categories. Hopefully someone here knows the movie well enough to know if it qualifies as animated. If nobody objects, then it's okay with me, so I'll tentatively put you on the list with Allegro Non Troppo, and I'll make a note that Gauche the Cellist is your backup.

We'll have to ask on here tomorrow when more people are online to see if these are eligible. Meanwhile, I'll try to research them a bit tonight and see what I can find out about them.

[Miss Vicky]

Personally I don't think Allegro Non Troppo is a musical for the same reason that I don't think Fantasia is a musical. But if you're going to allow one you may as well allow the other.

[rauldc14]

Alice in Wonderland would be my choice if I were in.

[Camo]

For the record I'm fine allowing Allegro Non Troppo. So far I've seen everything, just need to rewatch them all. I might start tonight with The Nightmare Before Christmas.

[Friendly Mushroom!]

I'll join.

http://images2.static-bluray.com/movies/covers/754_front.jpg

[rauldc14]

I really want to rewatch Pinocchio. It's been ages.

[Camo]

I might leave now Pinocchio is one of three films that have truly terrified me along with Poltergeist 2 and The Exorcist. :p

Just joking FM I actually had it on my Animation list. Welcome :)

[Miss Vicky]

Pinocchio - another film in my collection.

I've been meaning to rewatch it anyway. :up:

[Swan]

Peenoooooocchio!!!!

[Camo]

Peenoooooocchio!!!!

Seriously though that film traumatized me. I wouldn't show it to my nephews and nieces and I showed my nephew Mary and Max :laugh:

[jiraffejustin]

Was it because of the donkey scene?

[Camo]

Was it because of the donkey scene?

That and the Whale scene, also just the story in general. Disney often took f'd up stories and made them into pleasant things, but I've read Pinocchio (now) and for whatever reason they decided to make it a lot darker. :up: Disney a lot of my love for The Exorcist comes from my childhood nightmares, same for Poltergeist 2 I prefer it much more than the original now which just feels like the 12 year old Spielberg attempting horror. I still love Poltergeist, but think of it more as an adventure film now rather than a horror.

Also I know Spielberg did not direct it.

[SilentVamp]

Alice in Wonderland would be my choice if I were in.
So, you are NOT going to take part for sure? I am only asking because this would've been my nomination.

[Miss Vicky]

Just for clarification, is this HOF still a go?

[Nope1172]

Is it too late to change The Little Mermaid to The Lion King?

[Gatsby]

So I just caught up with the other musical thread.

I know that most of the racket was for laughs. but did it have to go that far? Nobody gave enough room for CR to even breathe. It seemed like everyone left him out because he's an old geezer that doesn't think properly. Even though I also don't agree with him I would have taken the time to discuss and reach an agreeing point, and at the same time joke around. Once the first few flames were ignited the thread went to the wrong direction, leading it to be closed.

I really wish this could all start over again, because something is going to go wrong, eventually, in such an unstable state. Both threads were barely standing and now one of them has fallen. Maybe we can start again after the main MoFo Hall of Fame thread is created again and the docs one gets a proper schedule. Or we can all take a break from HoFs for a while because if every single HoF gets planned and run like this in a rapid speed I'm not joining anymore.

Edit - Alright, I just found out that CR didn't act cool even after apologizing. So it pretty much means that everyone is being real cranky all because of one message board tournament. We all need to chill. Chill Club anyone?

[Miss Vicky]

Dude, don't drag that crap in here. The other one got closed for a reason.

[The Gunslinger45]

Hey can I get in on this? If so I call Sleeping Beauty 1959.

[jiraffejustin]

Hey can I get in on this? If so I call Sleeping Beauty 1959.

Whoa, no Frozen?

[Ðèstîñy]

Yeah, this isn't really happening right now. I need to figure a few things out, to get things more managed around here.

[gbgoodies]

I'm not sure what's going on with this HoF, but for now, we'll continue under the assumption that it will most likely move forward. I stated earlier that I was going to keep this open for about a week to allow people to decide on their nominations, so until then, you can keep posting your nominations.

I updated the first post with the nominations list. allowing Allegro Non Troppo, changing Nope1172's nomination from The Little Mermaid to The Lion King, and adding Friendly Mushroom's Pinocchio nomination and Gunslinger's Sleeping Beauty nomination.

Two people mentioned Alice in Wonderland, but neither said if they wanted to nominate it, so if it's someone's official nomination, please let me know so I can add it to the list.

[Camo]

I don't think Raul is joining, pretty sure he was just saying that would be his pick if he did.

[The Gunslinger45]

Whoa, no Frozen?

Was my first pick, but I opted to stick with the more classic Disney. :D Plus most everyone has seen it. Except for Miss Vicky who hated it. :D

[Charlie Kelly]

I added your nomination to the list in the opening post.

[SilentVamp]

Well, I am kind of torn between "Alice In Wonderland", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "An American Tail". I really don't know which to go with.

"Frozen"? She's not the only one. I absolutely ABHOR "Frozen".

[Miss Vicky]

Well, I am kind of torn between "Alice In Wonderland", "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "An American Tail". I really don't know which to go with.

I think Alice is the best bet of those three. I loved An American Tail when I was a child, but a recent rewatch of it just annoyed me. I watched Hunchback for the first time not long ago and didn't like it either.

Then again, I hate musicals and most animated musicals aren't exceptions to that.

[gbgoodies]

I've never seen The Hunchback of Notre Dame, so I can't compare it to the other two movies, but IMO Alice In Wonderland is better than An American Tail. I loved An American Tail when I was a kid, (I even have a big doll of Fievel Mousekewitz), but it wasn't as good when I re-watched it recently for the Animation List.

As long as nobody comes along and picks those movies, you still have a few days to decide.

[SilentVamp]

It is funny that the two of you both, essentially, said the same thing about "An American Tail". I only started to consider it because I bought it really cheap at the store a few months ago and haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. I haven't watched it in YEARS. So, this would've been my excuse to get around to finally doing so. But with both of your opinions, it makes me wonder how I will feel about it after all of these years (I, too, loved it was a kid, which is why I went ahead and bought it). So I will keep that one for when for myself to watch sometime. Hopefully I will feel better about it than the two of you after the rewatch. ;)

I will just nominate "Alice In Wonderland".

I kind of like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (I haven't seen this one in years either), but I was leaning more towards "Alice In Wonderland", anyway. So, I will nominate that one.

I've only seen it once, and I think it was OK. In my mind, it was a pretty decent movie, but that was years ago that I saw it. So I will be curious to see how I feel about it now.

I just watched this one about 6 months ago or so. I hadn't seen it in years and really wanted to watch it again. I always loved it. And it was still pretty good, I thought. Although it was a lot shorter than I remembered it being.

Good choice SilentVamp!

Where did you have it on your list? I loved TLBT when I was a kid as well as its sequels.

I don't remember exactly, I'll have to look when I get home. But it didn't even make the near miss list, while two other inferior Bluth movies made the countdown. :(

Anastasia and what? I can't remember.

[Miss Vicky]

Anastasia and what? I can't remember.

All Dogs Go to Heaven

[Camo]

Yeah that's right I liked all three as a kid but TLBT was probably my favourite, not enough to make my list sadly :shrug:

[jiraffejustin]

Anybody want to predict the winner yet?

I predict Pinocchio takes it.

[Miss Vicky]

I never saw Anastasia as a kid. I liked All Dogs Go To Heaven but nowhere near as much as TLBT.

[Camo]

The Nightmare Before Christmas is my guess.

[rauldc14]

This is going to be a fun one I must say. I might play along and watch some of these just for fun.

[gbgoodies]

I think Beauty and the Beast will win.

[Ðèstîñy]

Goodies, I actually own all but three of those films. I also added a beautiful photo to my original nomination post.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. :rolleyes:

[jiraffejustin]

I'm getting pretty excited for this. I've never seen Fantasia or Allegro non troppo, I'm most pumped about seeing those. I've probably seen the rest of the Disney noms, but not since I was a lot younger. The exception being Beauty and the Beast, I've never seen Beauty and the Beast. Also, three-year old jiraffe cried when his parents took him to see The Lion King, so this hall of fame might bring to the surface some traumatic experiences for me.

You've never seen Fantasia?! I'm not crazy about it, personally, but it just seems like it's one of those requisite childhood viewings.

Wait what?!?!?!?!?

[jiraffejustin]

I didn't have Fantasia on VHS, so it didn't get watched a million times like The Patriot, Shrek, Austin Powers, and other movies I don't remember.

[Camo]

Allegro Non Troppo is fantastic, I voted for the Bolero part in the Animation countdown.

I've seen all of these except JJs nomination. The only one that truly needs a rewatch is Fantasia which I haven't seen since I was around ten, but I'm going to rewatch them all anyway. Probably watch a few of them with my nephew.

[Miss Vicky]

JJ's nom is the only one I've not seen, too. I'll be rewatching all of the the others (except Pinocchio, which I just watched), but there are several that I don't like or am indifferent to.

[Camo]

I like them all to varying degrees. Chances are my nom won't be my #1.

[The Gunslinger45]

I like this HOF. This works well with my very busy schedule since I actually have seen most of these movies. :D

That being said I never saw Anastasia, Allegro Non Troppo, or Sita Sings the Blues. But I have heard of all of them, so there is that.

[SilentVamp]

How many people here, who have seen "Fantasia", have also seen Fantasia 2000?

I saw it when it was first released, but I remember nothing from it.


Out of the 13 nominations, I have seen 10. Other than "Beauty and the Beast", I haven't seen any of them recently (or even in the past 10 years or so). I am expecting this to be a good one to kick off my Hall of Fame experience here. After all, I remember liking most of what I have already seen.

[mark f]

:yup:

[The Gunslinger45]

:nope:

[NedStark09]

I have seen lets see how many disney animated features and lets face it all the disney animated films were musicals. The Pixar and Dreamworks movies were animted but had modern music thrown in not composed music. My favorite Animated Music cal Movies were The Land Before Time yes i know a Don Bluth film but he worked on many disney Classics. Then there would be Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, Jungle Book, Fantasia Movies. Lion King and Hunchback Of Notra Dom. The List would go in that order for me.

[Miss Vicky]

Not true. Most of the modern Disney animated films are not musicals and even among the classics you have films that don't qualify, like Bambi.

[Gatsby]

Bambi is a horror film.

@SilventVamp I remember Fantasia 2000, I probably watched it when I was little, back then I immensely enjoyed it, but I rewatched it for the MoFo Animation List countdown and I was hugely disappointed, the music was there but the magic wasn't.

[gbgoodies]

I have Fantasia 2000 on DVD, but I don't think I've ever watched it. I might watch a double feature when I watch Fantasia.

[SilentVamp]

That would be a good idea just to get the chance to really compare the two. I know it doesn't live up to the original, but I really don't remember that much about it. Maybe I should make a double feature out of it, too. :)

[Camo]

I watched both when I was a kid and don't remember much about either. When does this start BTW?

Destiny said something about a temporary hold on the HoFs a few days ago. She said it's okay to continue the nominations, but she asked me not to start this one yet, so I'm just waiting for her "okay" to start it.

Cool. It will take me a few days to start watching the noms anyway, so this is a welcome break for me :) .

[Gatsby]

This HoF will be good. Every post full of juicy nostalgia and grown men fighting over Disney movies. Worth the few days' wait.

[SilentVamp]

I'm OK with it not starting right now, too. But I should be able to get right into it when you want to start it. :)

[gbgoodies]

While we wait for this HoF to start, who's up for another song tournament?

[Miss Vicky]

What's the point of waiting?

There's been no drama in this thread and everybody's excited and ready to go. :shrug:

[Ðèstîñy]

I have the new idea worked out. I was just too sick to post it last night. I'm doing sort of better right now, but I don't want to push it. Anyway, with that being said, yes, go ahead and start this thread.

What are you implying, that I might loose my cool and threaten someone because they did not like a Disney princess movie? ;)

You guys can always start slow. Make sure everyone has a good start to collecting the movies in some sort of way for viewing, and then maybe set it up to watch them together, or close to, anyway. Why rush!?!

[Camo]

No need to rush. Not sure why you quoted me there? Was it because I was the first response to GBG?

[tatmmw2]

Hello there, I hope it isn't too late. I would like to ask first of all what would be an animated musical movie? I mean it's any animated movie with a song? Also in the HoF of this category, the movies are voted by it's song or by movie itself?. I asked this because maybe the whole point is the songs or maybe it is a category and we have to vote the best movie. May I nominate The Emperor's New Groove, I am not sure if it is an animated musical? If it does then I'd like to nominate it :)

[Camo]

Vote by how good the movie is not the songs. It is up to GBG to decide what does and doesn't count, personally I feel New Groove doesn't despite how much I enjoy it. Still I'm sure you can think of some more that do count Tat :) . Assuming anyone agrees with me that is.

I didn't remember The Emperor's New Groove having any songs in it, so I just looked it up, and it only has two songs. I don't think that really qualifies as a musical.

An animated musical is basically an animated movie that has more than just a few songs or musical selections in it. If you look at the first post of the thread, you can see the movies that have already been nominated,so you can get an idea of what has already qualified.

I'm willing to be lenient on allowing movies to be nominated, but I don't think that only two songs really qualifies it as a musical. (There will be an Animated Movie HoF sometime in the future, which will be animated movies that don't have to be musicals, and The Emperor's New Groove will qualify for that one.)

[SilentVamp]

I just had a thought go through my mind. Which version of "Beauty and the Beast" are we watching? Is it going to be the original theatrical release or the special edition (which, essentially, just has the one song added to it - a song that was supposed to be in the film but was cut)? It is a very minor thing, I suppose. But I was just curious. :)

[Camo]

Does it matter? I'm actually asking you vamp, if it makes a difference and everyone has access to it, I'm sure that's the one we will go for. :)

[SilentVamp]

I suppose which version a person watches doesn't really matter that much. I was just wondering because with that one song put back into the film (where it should've been to begin with - I believe it was cut because they thought it made the film too long), it would make the movie more "complete" with it back in its proper place.

But I don't care. I will just go along with what everyone else wants to do. :)

I have the Diamond Edition Blu-Ray + DVD that has 3 versions of the movie, so I'll probably watch the Extended Edition, but I don't think it really matters. Anyone who has access to the Extended Edition will probably want to watch it, but I think the Theatrical Version is okay if that's what people have access to.

[Miss Vicky]

The copy I just picked up from the library is the special edition, so that's what I'll be watching.

Tatmmw2, I answered your question earlier about what would qualify as an animated musical. Do you want to join this HoF before it officially starts? The Emperor's New Groove doesn't qualify as an animated musical, so you would have to pick a different movie, but there's still time to join. (However not a lot of time because this will probably officially start tonight.)


Also in the HoF of this category, the movies are voted by it's song or by movie itself?. I asked this because maybe the whole point is the songs or maybe it is a category and we have to vote the best movie.

BTW, I missed this part of your question yesterday. The movies are ranked by the movie, not just by a song.

Each person who joins nominates one Animated Musical movie, and after you watch all the movies, you would rank the movies in the order that you liked them, numbered from #1 through however many movies were nominated, and then you would send your ranked list to me by private message before the deadline. (The actual deadline date hasn't been determined yet, but it will be about 1 week per movie nominated, so for example, if there are 13 movies nominated, then the deadline date would be 13 weeks from the official start date.)

[jiraffejustin]

I watched Fantasia. It suffers from the same problem a lot of other anthology movies suffer from: inconsistency. Outside of maybe two segments, I wasn't very interested in what I was seeing. The Bald Mountain sequence is fantastic, but nothing else comes close to matching it.

[gbgoodies]

I'm going to post the official thread for this HoF later tonight. Do we want specific discussion threads for each movie too, or just one main discussion thread for all the movies?

[Gatsby]

One main discussion thread for all movies. Generates more conversation, debates, and overall fun. :up:

[Camo]

Yeah I agree with this. So what is everyone starting with?

I started with Pinocchio a few nights ago. My first time watching it since childhood. It's a charming and beautifully drawn movie, though still not a favorite.

That was the other segment I enjoyed. I get that the movie was a groundbreaking achievement, but it didn't really feel cohesive or engaging. It felt like "here's a little bit of this and now a little bit of that."

I agree with you, I can't consider myself a fan of the overall product.
