Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shrek hurts my head. Last Canada Day I watched it after drinking a 40 of whiskey and by the time they got to the castle I wanted to strangle Eddie Murphy.

I don't like separating animated films into their own "genre", since they can be any genre. One if my all-time favorite films is Grave of the Fireflies, which is a drama.
I just consider it to be the medium. It's no more a genre than black and white films are a genre. Animated movies would range from Bambi and Lion King to Ghost In The Shell and Akira to A Scanner Darkly and Zemeckis's Beowulf.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I think it makes sense. Then "musical" can be considered the medium too, rather than a genre, and we can put Mary Poppins in "Comedies", and West Side Story in "drama". Bears like.

The American Film Institute classifies animation as a separate film genre.
AFI defines "animated" as a genre in which the film's images are primarily created by computer or hand and the characters are voiced by actors.
Wiki link.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Wrong.
I'm anxious to get phase II started already!
If we do an animated one and Fantastic Planet doesn't pass the first round I might choke on my own saliva.

I would nominate that in the sci-fi tournament.
Just posted the last tiebreaker. So once that's over Round 2 can begin!
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I've watched Fantastic Planet at least a dozen times in the past couple of years. Such a great film. I actually heard rumblings of a remake recently.

It so happens six are mine.
There are a whole lot of movies in there I had never even heard of much less watched.

One of the best aspects of these kind of tournaments; now you can update your Netflix queue with awesome new films to watch!
Here's some food for thought for our eventual sci-fi tournament: http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...l-time#slide-1
Excellent list, although I'm not sure if I agree with Gattaca as number three...
I think I need to watch it again, it's been a while.
It's definitely in my Sci-Fi Top 10-or-So.
I was wondering where Gattaca came from
