    I saw this at Well Hall Coronet with my brother,  must have been around 85/86. Was an absolute buzz, as a kid as i was obsessed with Transformers.

    As an adult i find Disney and Pixar films a drag. While they can be very funny, the characters echo classic tropes with very similar arcs.
    Saw it first when I got the VHS for my 5th birthday, wore that tape out I loved it so much. Still love Transformers to this day at the age of 41! And this old movie still looks great in the 4k Ultra HD blu ray version!

    I brought itvon DVD sometime ago, but without a dvd player i can't actually watch it.

    I remember the head of Unicron floating in space, but that may have been a subsequent film.

    I sold most of my G1 figures about 20 years ago to buy a microphone and some other recording equipment. 💔
  • Flushed Away is a great shout. So many good one-liners in that film.

    I've got a bum like a Japanese flag.
  • I'm surprised to see Up getting so many likes. Personal tastes and everything, but the first fifteen minutes were just pure misery, and after that it bumped along but managed to keep its maudlin undertow going. Not for me.
  • Ratatouille another to add to my list.

    Incredibles for me.
    This, all day long
  • Grave of the Fireflies. 
  • Ghost in the Shell (if anime counts) both films

    Fav series is Guyver bioboosted armour.
    If anime counts?  You’ll never guess what anime means in Japanese!!

    Watership Down

    You may not agree with my choice but can anyone seriously claim a better soundtrack?
    That got shown in my primary school, which was a wild choice.

    Growing up, it was probably Wind in the Willows, which I used to watch all the time, still got a soft spot for it now. 

    I've been watching a few Ghibli films recently which are great. Saw The Grave of the Fireflies which was a fantastic film, but made me sad for about three days afterwards!
    Only three days?  You hard-hearted bastard.

    I think that was the point? Genuinely not a movie made for children - I've never had kids, and never wanted them, but that opening montage hits me in the gut. There are only five films that have ever made me cry - and Up is one of them. Just because it's animated, doesn't mean it needs to be happy clappy.

    I made the mistake of watching it on a plane, and all the times people have told me anecdotes about distracting themselves with films on planes, thought it was a load of waffle so switched it off after the pure misery of the opening and put the eye mask on fr good measure

    You're out of your mind
  • Toy Story 3 is a top 10 all time movie of any type, it's close to perfect
  • There are a lot to choose from. The original Pixar ones are all fab. Iron Giant is great. Love Studio Ghibli. Overall I'd go for Spirited Away. I like classic Disney but cba with anything sfter the 60s. Not a film but a series Cowboy Bebop is also up there.
