Meme: Every Frakking Animated Movie Ever Made (Almost)

I stole this from Andrew Wheeler, who stole it from someone else.  Should be fun!

All the animated movies in the world, sort of:

– X what you saw
– O what you haven’t finished/seen or saw sizable portions
– Bold what you loved
– Italicize what you disliked/hated
– Leave unchanged if neutral

(I’ve added a final thing to these:  a grade–good, average, and sucked.  I might as well, right?)

CLASSIC DISNEY

——————————-
[X] 101 Dalmatians (1961) — Good
[X] Alice in Wonderland (1951) — Good
[X] Bambi (1942) — Good
[X] Cinderella (1950) — Average
[X] Dumbo (1941) — Good
[X] Fantasia (1940) — Good (and trippy.  Every time I see this movie, I feel like someone has inserted an extra ten minutes.  No joke.  My experience watching this as a kid involved frequently feeling as though I missed something the last time I watched it.)
[X] Lady and the Tramp (1955) — Average
[X] Mary Poppins (1964) — Good
[X] Peter Pan (1953) — Good
[X] Pinocchio (1940) — Good
[X] Sleeping Beauty (1959) — Good (I liked it, but I’ve only seen it once.)
[X] Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) — Good
[X] Song of the South (1946) — I barely remember it, so I can’t grade it.

(Note:  My grandma pretty much made me grow up with most of the Disney movies.  I’m not complaining, but I’ve pretty much seen every classic and semi-classic Disney movie ever made, even if I can’t remember seeing it.  That is, except for new Disney, which I’ve mostly been avoiding.)

DISNEY’S DARK AGE

[X] Pete’s Dragon (1977) — Good
[X] The Rescuers (1977) — Good
