Animation meme, stolen from ambertdd~

X what you saw
O what you haven't finished/saw sizable portions
Bold what you loved
Strike for what you disliked/hated
Leave unchanged if neutral

(As a note, I've seen a lot of Disney's movies since when I was a kid, but I don't particularly care for Disney personally... I appreciate the sophistication of their animation but I'm just not a fan of their storytelling for whatever reason. I'm not going to strike them all out, though. XD)

So, I apparently have a flat tire. Well, that sucks. I hope I can get it fixed in time for tomorrow, assuming I have to go down to Yuba City... If not, I may have to borrow Mom's car or something.

Six hours until I can call to see if the corgi is still there!

I am surprised you have not see all of the Pixar movies. I have not seen Cars either so I can't say anything about that but I definitely recommend, Toy Story 2, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and WALL-E. :)

edit: Also Who Framed Roger Rabbit...that's a must.

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

I definitely intend to see at least WALL-E! I admit to being a bit skeptical about Pixar movies, though. Not because I think they're bad or anything, but I do think they're rather overrated... It seems like everyone goes on about how amazing each one is, and then I go see it and find it nothing but entertaining and shiny, but overall kind of lacking in substance. But that said, I don't mind giving them a try.

I think I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a kid, but it was so long ago I literally can't remember if I saw it or not. XD

Psst!! Hey! Are you going to the Cherry Blossom Festival this or next weekend? We should meet up and trade Pokemon! I'll likely wear my Team Aqua bandanna if I go. :P

[slashaddict.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope he's still there...!

Oooh, fun meme. I want to do it. Though I can already tell the last couple of categories are going to be a lot of blank ones.
