If I can put my two cents on this. First of all "The Rescuers Down Under" was one of my favorite films when I was about 4 or 5 years of age. But I seemed to grow out of the movie and moved on to "An American Tail". I haven't seen that movie again since I was 6. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime later. And for "The Secret of NIMH", I have to make it number one on my list.

NIMH rules over all animated movies.

Big Three Worst Villains:
Evil Martin (NIMH 2)
The Poachers (Ferngully 2)
The Bunny (Hoodwinked)

To a degree, I would agree with you. But I seriously think that you should expand the list from just three to perhaps four or even five. One reason I say this is because you left out Disneys "The Great Mouse Detective." I totally agree with Cedric in his assessment of NIMH. This movie kicks butt even after twenty-four years.

Peace :D

He also didn't count the second Rescuers movie (Down Under) and that was a good one. Perhaps he used three because everyone is talking about big threes. The big fives and fours aren't as well known and might seem pretty weird.

Yea I'd agree with a lot of you, both Resuers movies are great movies so he should added part two in his list. And I also agree that NIMH beats them all hands down.
Also I would like to put my two cents, I'm not sure if this counts as a mouse movie but what about "Once upon a Forest.." Well I do since the lead character was a mouse but that's me..

Also I did forgot "The great Mouse Detective.. " One of the best Disney films before they turned into "kiddle friendly".

"kiddle friendly"? What do you mean by that?

Jayn

26-10-2006 22:43:27

Oh sorry, I mean Kidde friendly..

Cedric

I know that, but what do you mean by kiddie friendly?

I meant Disney had gone down hill when they stop putting a bit of adult humor in their flims. Like in the great mouse detictive you have the Kitty scene as welll the Big Ben scene.. In Dumbo you have him getting drunk and the scene where he visits his mother. Disney just started to make movies for small kids and I fell they should do that again..

Cedric

Ah that. I hear you, Disney is turning into something for infants. And yet my mom still has me watch them. The oldies were the goodies, and the newbies are crap.

I'd have to say that I'm adding another movie to my list that, even though it isn't a "mouse movie", is a big part of furry fandom.

Secret of NIMH
American Tail: Fieval Goes West
Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest
Robin Hood
