AniMoWa: Animated Movie Watch

#41. The Fox and the Hound 26.07.2021 50:01 ↓

Neither of us remembered Disney's The Fox and the Hound (1981) being such a slow-paced tearjerker, but here we are!

#40. American Pop 13.07.2021 55:15 ↓

Finally, a Bakshi film we both like! American Pop (1981) was a rock 'n' roll good time!

#39. The King and the Mockingbird 28.06.2021 44:09 ↓

We adored Paul Grimault's The King and the Mockingbird (1980 version), a comedic, surrealist fairy tale!

#38. Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro 14.06.2021 49:48 ↓

We look at Hayao Miyazaki's directorial debut, Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), with the help of a guest and Lupin III aficionado.

#37. The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie 31.05.2021 46:32 ↓

Put on your pj's and grab a bowl of cereal, because it's time to revisit some Saturday morning cartoons with Warner Bros.' The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie (1979)!

#36. Watership Down 17.05.2021 44:54 ↓

In this episode, we discover that Martin Rosen's Watership Down (1978) contains just as much bunny-on-bunny violence as Richard Adams' novel.

#35. The Lord of the Rings 03.05.2021 33:00 ↓

Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings (1978) may not be a good movie, but we still had a good time watching it!

#34. Wizards 19.04.2021 38:14 ↓

We enjoyed Bakshi's "family film" Wizards (1977) better than the others we've seen so far...but is that really saying anything?

#33. The Rescuers 05.04.2021 43:02 ↓

We were surprised by how much we liked Disney's The Rescuers (1977), though it isn't without its Bronze/Dark Age flaws.

#32. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 22.03.2021 30:05 ↓

Join us over in our Thotful Spot as we discuss Disney's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)!

#31. Allegro non troppo 12.03.2021 45:00 ↓

It's time for an Italian response to Fantasia, Bruno Bozzetto's Allegro non troppo (1976).

#30. Robin Hood 22.02.2021 42:55 ↓

Oo-De-Lally! It's time for Disney's Robin Hood (1973)!

#29. Heavy Traffic 08.02.2021 27:01 ↓

We return to Bakshi with Heavy Traffic (1973). Thanks, we hate it.

#28. Fantastic Planet 25.01.2021 43:38 ↓

Journey with us to a Fantastic Planet (1973), where strange creatures and allegories about all the things abound!

#27. Charlotte's Web 11.01.2021 38:38 ↓

We begin our second year of AniMoWa with a beloved childhood classic, Charlotte's Web (1973)!

#26. Belladonna of Sadness 28.12.2020 45:53 ↓

Our first foreign language film, Belladonna of Sadness/ Kanashimi no Belladonna (1973), was disturbing, beautiful, hard to watch, and fascinating to discuss. (This movie contains sensitive topics; listener discretion is advised.)

#25. Snoopy Come Home 14.12.2020 28:49 ↓

Snoopy Come Home (1972) was a simple delight! And that's about it.

#24. Fritz the Cat 30.11.2020 44:20 ↓

Join us as we cringe our way through the X-rated, screwed-up Zootopia that is Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat (1972). (This movie contains sensitive topics; listener discretion is advised.)

#23. The Aristocats 16.11.2020 43:28 ↓

Beffers and Birdy are too nice to tell you all how much they really disliked Disney's The Aristocats (1970).

#22. A Boy Named Charlie Brown 02.11.2020 40:34 ↓

Join us as we discuss A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), and all the things these adorable, abusive kids say to him.

#21. Mad Monster Party? 12.10.2020 40:31 ↓

Our first stop-motion film, Mad Monster Party? (1967) by Rankin/Bass, sure is a mad party with monsters.

#20. The Jungle Book 29.09.2020 53:04 ↓

Talking animals, colonialism, King Louie and all that entails—it's time to talk about The Jungle Book (1967), the last animated film Walt worked on.

#19. The Sword in the Stone 14.09.2020 44:57 ↓

Whoa, what, oh!! Disney's The Sword in the Stone (1963) is filled with a lot of nostalgia and not much else.

#18. Gay Purr-ee 31.08.2020 38:48 ↓

Cat puns and good singing don't make up for the cheap execution of 1962's Gay Purr-ee.

#17. One Hundred and One Dalmatians 17.08.2020 42:07 ↓

Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) is adorable and charming, and Cruella needs to have her license revoked.
