I love Fantasia!

I was digging it until Shark Tale. No. Also, no Hayao Miyazaki films (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle)?

I thought Shark Tale was OK. It is #39 out of 40 on the list. Also, there are two Miyazaki films on the list, Nausicaa (#16) and Princess Mononoke (#18). I actually didn’t much care for Spirited Away. That probably makes me a bad person. And I’ve yet to see How’s Moving Castle.

Where is Beavis and Butthead do America? Surely people are more prepared to see a person turn hyperactive (Beavis as Cornholio) than gigantic (Alice as giant).

Actually I wouldn’t mind a flood started by Alice’s tears, she also at one point stood up to that bully of a queen of hearts literally.
I also love Cornholio “I am Cornholio, I need TP for my Bunghole”.
