Paranorman, near the beginning of the film. I love how the camera spins around him and suddenly unveils the world through his eyes.

Randomly seen this just now. I do love how anime captures nature sometimes. Too bad they only included what they had rights to.

Sin City...awesome hybrid aesthetic animation. It might be controversial but I feel especially the Hitman's scenes feel more animated than some of the rest.​

Note: Lea Salonga is actually the singer for the version in the film itself.

It's not overly complicated, but the animation supports the music especially with the fractured reflections, and her behavior in the clip expresses her devotion to her family/ancestors even while she's distraught over her inability to meet expectations and disappointment in that juxtaposition.


Followed shortly by this really well-done sequence, her attempt at resolution (she offers her own life both as recompense for her inability to meet expectations + as a gift of love to her parents) -- and note again how reflections are repeatedly used here:

My favorite very, VERY disgusting scenes in animation:

Ren & Stimpy - that time Ren let all his teeth rot out of his head, then proceeded to pull out his nerve endings to leave under his pillow for the Nerve Ending Fairy.

Terrifying children into oral hygiene since '92.





...and let's not forget Homer's ophthalmic adventure:

Kung Fu Panda

The camera positioning/tracking is so wild:

The dumpling fight choreography (@ 3:05 or so) is just ingenuous:

Art style for the opening of the film (@ 0:00 - 2:00, Po's fantasy):

Of all the shows to bring back without having to change much, it would surely be Gargoyles.
Owen Burnett was/is my favorite character, followed by the Weird Sisters Demona and MacBeth, and some of the best depictions of Oberon and Titania in fiction; The Pack and Xanatos added such complexity to the series, Xanatos managing to sometimes actually make me root for the the rich bad guy. The Gargoyles themelves were a legitimately fascinating set of characters, and Lexington actually being one of the best queer characters on television before the Sheera Reboot came out and the Ducktales reboot.
slow playback speed to .75 and its still it bit sped up, but theres no helping it. Still worth a watch if you've never seen it​

Ah yes -- "Bard & Rogue go on solo adventure together, when the rest of the D&D party isn't paying attention"
It really is one of the best D&D movies outside of the GOTG series. Also Chell was a lot of fun.

There are probably other parts I like even more in this film, but at least this one has the "PRESENTATION!" meme. Gawd, Tighten is such an incel
