The Lion King was the first film I went to see with my stepdad. I was 10 and went to the movie theaters a couple times before that, but this movie being the first one I saw with him will always be a cherished memory.
I don't recall which movie was the first I saw in theaters though. I want to say Asterix and the Big Fight because my real dad loved the Asterix comics, God rest his soul, but I'm not sure.

Since Disney movies have been mentioned, actually got Blu-Ray/DVD copies of Turning Red and Encanto in the mail today. So some new movies for my animated movie library.

@MarioLover92 Yeah, Star Wars games are always fun. Rebel Assault II, Battlefront Classic, Dark Forces, and Star Wars Episode I Racer are some I really liked.

Yup, that's how I saw most of the classics back then. Over the years, I've been getting the classic Disney stuff on DVD and Blu-Ray. Yeah, if an animated movie I want to see comes to theaters, I love to go. Just for the experience of the screen and sound. Also, it's a fun way to watch your favorite characters. Seeing Anna, Sonic, Tails, and Poppy on the big screen is just something I love.

If only Turning Red and Luca got the big screen treatment, I would have loved to experience them that way.

Tell me about it.

I was so saddened they didn't get a theatrical release and there were reports that some people who worked on these movies at Pixar were heartbroken because their creation wasn't shown the way it was intended.

Let's hope this never happens again.

@seaboyluca @Sunsy Why did effing Lightyear have to be the first Pixar movie in theaters since 2020? It's not even that good.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

Mioaionios

@HotGoomba
Yeah... Lightyear was such a disappointment. It's only the second Pixar movie I dislike, after Cars 2.

Mioaionios

HotGoomba

@seaboyluca Lightyear wasn't even the first Pixar movie I disliked.

I didn't like Cars 2 (duh), Tangled BRAVE, or The Good Dinosaur. I even think Finding Dory is a bit overrated (still like it, just not as much as the original).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

@HotGoomba
Tangled was made by Disney animation, not Pixar.
You've got to be the first person I came across who doesn't like that movie. Are you sure you're not thinking about Brave?

Tangled is ace - the horse is one of my fave characters in anything.
Faaaaaar better than Frozen, IMHO

@Rambler
I agree, I love Tangled.
It was their best 3D animated musical until Encanto came along.

Hello dear @Fizza
Have you had the chance to see Luca yet?
Sorry to push you, but I'm curious if you enjoyed the movie. 😊

@seaboyluca Unfortunately not yet, I actually had to do some work for my dad so I wasn't able to watch it yesterday. I will today though I promise!

Somewhat related, I see you went through a name change as well!

@Fizza
I did, yes. I think this username makes it a bit more clear what I love most.
The previous one was a bit too cryptic.

Sorry to have asked, I need to be more patient, I know. 😅
Life has its priorities and helping out your dad is definintely one of them.

@seaboyluca @Rambler Shoot, no I meant Brave, not Tangled. My bad, I actually really like Tangled, more than Frozen infact, but Brave is just mediocre.

Edited on by HotGoomba

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

Sunsy

@seaboyluca Yeah, I remember reading about that too. I still remember how mad some were that Turning Red wasn't going to theaters too. I hope it doesn't happen again, those two I would have loved to see on the big screen.

@HotGoomba I love Pixar movies, and honestly, I had no interest in Lightyear. I get it's suppose to be the movie Andy saw as a kid that got him into Buzz Lightyear, but it just feels too different than Toy Story IMO. Maybe I'll wait for it to show up on Disney+. Honestly, I ended up looking forward to the summer showing of Trolls World Tour more since it originally did skip theaters.

@HotGoomba @Rambler @seaboyluca Call it an unpopular opinion, I liked Cars 2. Saw that and the third in theaters. I like it was a break from the Pixar "I'm gonna make you cry" thing they do, lol. Also I feel The Good Dinosaur was underrated, with Inside Out taking the spotlight. It's been a long time since I've watched The Good Dinosaur though.

Also, I loved Tangled. Rapunzel is actually one of my favorite Disney princesses next to Belle, Ariel, and Anna.

@Sunsy the cars movies just don't do much for me. But I like your point - they are making fun, exciting films with them, not trying to make you think or cry.

I've got the opposite issue with Soul - they seemed to have got rid of the fun and jokes in that! Yes the cat was amusing, but it's still an ancient body-swap gag.

@Sunsy
I like The Good Dinosaur as well, same with Brave.
Both are underrated imo.

Anyone else thinks that this year of movie releases is pretty bare bones? Almost nothing really original and really few big releases to look forward to in the next few months. Like what movies did you all love this year and what are you looking forward to the most?

I'm surprised to see so much The Good Dinosaur love. It's such a boring movie to me, I don't think any of the dinosaurs are interesting or likable, and it just feels like a showcase of how good Pixar animation and graphics are, which, I will admit, the movie is absolutely beautiful, but you need more than that for a good film.

Take for example Spider-Verse, one of the best animated movies of all time. It has great writing, an interesting story, very enjoyable characters, a really good villain, some nice.plot twists, and great humor, and those are all accompanied by the excellent animation.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

@Solaine Turning Red was my favorite movie of this year. I feel like Marvel films have been a bit "eh" recently to me (excluding Shang-Chi, and No Way Home, but those are 2021) and even Thor Love and Thunder was just kinda ok compared to Thor Ragnarok. The Sonic 2 movie was pretty good, I haven't seen Top Gun or The Batman but I heard those were good. Minions The Rise of Gru is at least a billion times better than Jurassic World Dominion. Chip 'n Dale is surprisingly decent. I heard Everything Everywhere All at Once is absolutely excellent, haven't gotten around to waiting it yet though. The movie Men has a stupid name so I'll never watch it. And Morbius is one of the movies of all time.

And that's about it for recently released movies that are good and/or stupid. Unless you really enjoyed Paws of Fury. More power to you.

As for upcoming films, the most interesting to me is NOPE, Bullet Train, maybe Luck, [I]maybe[I] The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Black Adam if I remember it, Black Panther Wakanda Forever if Marvel doesn't screw it up, Shazam 2 since the first one we'd great, and Puss in Boots The Last Wish.

Not a bare bones year, just a bit disappointing for major franchises and a year for newer IP and projects, as well as properly handled existing franchises, to shine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

@Solaine There's plenty of good and exciting new films to watch, it's just people need to step out of boring bubble of only watching Disney sanctioned family fun and then weirdly complaining about them as if they are forced to watch Lightyear or Thor.

Northman, Three Thousands Years Of Longing, Nope, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Brian & Charles, Prey, RRR, Grey Man etc are out this year and all look/are amazeballs.
