Ah! The "Moving Graphic Feature" category

millen,

You're absolutely correct, it was gross negligence to an entire realm of movies that I forgot animations ! Or is "animation" out- like "comic book" and we have to say "moving graphic feature" or something invented by critics today?

"Pinocchio", "Seven Dwarves", "Peter Pan", and "101 Dalmations" several od Disney feature animations were great- with Pinnochio (c. 1940) possibly the greatest animated feature ever. I actually haven't seen "Bambi" since 1964 as a tiny tot. Now there's even the "Bambi II" where Bambi faces the realities of a harsh advertising, religious, and marketing world bent on World domination. Disney has produced some remarkable fascist tracts like "The Lion King" too!

Say, did you know Walt Disney is still alive? A friend and I walked across Hampstead Heath (N. London) late one night and came into Golder's Green. In a brilliantly lit large room was Walt Disney sitting at a desk with a 40' map of the World behind him. And this happened in 1989- 13 years after the media reported his death. No, Disney's like L. Ron Hubbard- away comtemplating the Universe, simulataneously saving on his income taxes, but still very much in charge of the Western Hemisphere.

While they're not features, I can watch the older Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny/Tweety/Daffy/Roadrunner cartoons again and again. Even the musical scores for Tom and Jerry beat any aspect of "Titanic"- and Jerry has more personality than DiCaprio.

Honourable mention is the live/animated feature dept: " Who framed Roger Rabbit?"

Bugs Bunny is a kind of hero of mine- he's very much his own rabbit under all circumstances and makes his hole his castle. As I currently live in a small hole in the ground too, Bugs in an inspiration.

Cheers,

Bambi (-no relation)
