Show us the cartoon character that annoys you the most.
All of this recent animé shit annoys me. I don't know character names, but Yu-Gi-Oh is perhaps the most obnoxiously badly drawn and animated of all of them.
Video: What is your favorite children's movie?
Submitted by I-Luv-Eeyore.
I have fond memories of seeing this on pirate video as a kid.

Blades Of Glory was sold out last night so we saw this, in Disney Digital 3D!
Before the film, they showed a trailer for A Nightmare Before Christmas 3D and a Donald Duck/Chip & Dale cartoon that had been reformatted for the technology. Jess jumped at some of the stuff coming out of the screen during the former, it really works.
I believe this is Disney's second in-house CGI movie after Chicken Little, but given that the only Disney-related films I've liked since I was like 10 are all Pixar, I could be mistaken. That being said, and having not seen Chicken Little, I would go as far as saying it is second only to Monsters, Inc. in terms of my favourite Disney-related CGI movies.
Based on the book A Day With Wilbur Robinson, it tells the story of Lewis - a young orphan who happens to be a brilliant inventor. After successive rejections from potential foster parents, he decides to invent a machine that lets him remember his mother so he can track her down.
Upon completing the machine and entering it into his school science fair, he runs into Wilbur Robinson who claims to be from the future, warning him of a mysterious man in a bowler hat who is after the invention. And that's where I leave the plot recap.
The CGI is beautiful (this and pending Pixar flick Ratatouille are leaps and bounds ahead of their predecessors), the story is great and only a bit predictable, it has Rufus Wainwright on the soundtrack, and we laughed a lot throughout.
I was not at all disappointed that we saw this instead of Blades Of Glory.
Here's the trailer...
