Theater Thursday

Theater Thursday

Theater Thursday, because I'm too damn tired to think up something else to say right now.

Shrek 2 opens this weekend in theaters, hoping to be an even bigger hit than the prequel. From Antz, to Mulan, to The Lion King, to Heavy Metal, even Anime; There are hundreds of animated movies.

1. What is your favorite animated movie?

Right now, it's Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Easily the best Batman movie of them all. It lets Bruce Wayne/Batman be the conflicted nutball/effective and cool vigilante he is in the best comics, without getting bogged down in a director trying to affect the character stylistically.

Other favorites, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut; Beavis and Butthead do America (with a cameo by David "Earl Hoffert" Letterman); and Transformers the Movie, even if it is an 80 minute long toy commercial.

2. Which animated movie is your least favorite?

Does Space Jam count? I've watched a lot of stupid, written down to the audience crap in my life, but Space Jam's pretty rough.

3. Who is your favorite animated movie character?

Well, the animated Batman's the best Batman. I guess that's my answer.

We miss you in Toontown.
Thanks for playing. Don't forget to leave a link to your blog in the comments, so we can all see what your thoughts are on animation.

(I saw the meme at the Inn of the Last Home, and also Knock/Snooze.)
