Animation Films.
 

Just watched 'Ice Age' on ITV1 tonight .. gotta' give it to these animators .. they are brilliant. The expressions, bonding animal characters with human characteristics and one-liners are absolutely brilliant.

Had me laughing, angry, hanging with the adventure, and crying at the happy ending.

Lovely entertainment at its best.:thumbsup:

Re: Animation Films.
 

Have to agree katex, the first 100 times are the best.

Re: Animation Films.
 

You softy lol must admit though, I like that film, theres a few good animated films out though, I like shrek myself

Re: Animation Films.
 

Have to agree katex, these films are great, and there are a lot of them, the first 100 times are ok, but...:D:D

Re: Animation Films.
 

Yes, Shrek good too Emzy ... how do they get all those expressions in that form ? Soo clever.

Even back to the Walt Disney films .. Snow White, etc .. was good then .. but now .. just wow!

One of the funniest lines from Ice Age was when the Mammoth was talking to the Tiger .. and suggested that he go and 'find some other creature to disembowel' . sadistic but great fun. Nearly spat out me Toad in the Hole (no LOL not real toad).

Tiddler loves Ice Age......i must have watched it a thousand times with him.....and i still love it.
Not that keen on Shrek.

Re: Animation Films.
 

I'm another big softy!
Couldn't help but have a tear in my eye at the end of Ice Age!
Love those films,very funny and great family entertainment.

Re: Animation Films.
 

Anyone watched happy feet? another good one!

Re: Animation Films.
 

The modern computer generated animated films are superb. I feel very lucky having my 8 year old granddaughter and her mum living with me because we have an awful lot of them on DVD. :)

I've got to say my 2 favourites are "Monsters Inc." and "Shrek 2" but they're all good. A lot of the humour is aimed at adults, more than children, but not so much as to spoil things for the child. "Ice Age" is very good but I'm always left pitying that poor prehistoric squirrel who never gets his nut. :D

Re: Animation Films.
 

Love Ice Age must admit I like most of the Disney/Pixar stuff too

Re: Animation Films.
 

Eeew no Derekgas .. will look out for it. Now my kids/grandaughter are grown up .. miss these .. maybe me going backwards as they say .. :D

Re: Animation Films.
 

Look out for over the hedge too, or I can lend it to you, I work in clayton, it is extremely funny.

Re: Animation Films.
 

I remember taking my son to see Ice age at the flix we both enjoyed the film when it came out on vid we had to buy it, i also like watching animated films, my favourite has got to be Toy story

Re: Animation Films.
 

Got to be Shrek 1 and 2. Like ice age as well. I was lucky - i had nieces and nephews so any kids films i used to take them or use them as the excuse to buy the videos and dvd's!!!

Re: Animation Films.
 

we have happy feet, dont buy the one that comes with march of the penguins, imo thats not suitable for the little ones.

Re: Animation Films.
 

my family and i just watched Horten hears a who,,,,,,its really funny

Re: Animation Films.
 

u know a film can have the best animation ever but if the script aint right its no use. how bad were over the hedge and a few others i dont even want to remember. shrek 3 was just livign off shrek 1+2.

for me the crowning glory still has to be toy story 1+2 the first and i think its still the best out there. Pixar are in a league of their own when it comes to animation but thankfully you can tell they spend alot of time on scripts aswell as the graphics. all their movies get regular plays in our house from TS to monsters inc to finding nemo to bugs life.

its little wonder that disney rather than lose them made them partners.

Re: Animation Films.
 

Animated films are excellent especially for kids or even big kids:D They have come a long way since Walt Disney started. I didn't watch the one last night but I watched part one of the Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic on Sky 1 HD part two is on tonight at 6pm. It's a follow on from Hogfather irst screened in 2006 both staring David Jason, if you get te chance its wel worth the trip.

Re: Animation Films.
 

I think Toy Story has got to be my favourite, although Madagascar runs a close second. Also love Shrek although I think the second & third films were nowhere near as good as the first one.

Re: Animation Films.
 

Toy Story 3 - Out 2010
Ice Age 3 - Out 2009

I.AM.SO.EXCITED!!!!!

I really do hope they're as good as the other ones!!!

They don`t get any better than the Disney/Pixar films, with each one the CGI gets better,on their latest one Ratatouille the animation is simply stunning.:D:D

Re: Animation Films.
 

Have to agree with Jaysay,the Terry Pratchett adaptations are fantastic.
I am huge fan of his and think they are wonderful entertainment for all the family(though i think some of it might go over kids heads!)

I agree with this, but think that is the beauty of these films, encourages parents to watch them with thier kids, and the films have more meaning for the children every time they watch.

Re: Animation Films.
 

A top film for me has to be 101 Dalmations:D
bloody good film for its generation;)

Re: Animation Films.
 

Tend to agree Loz but weren't over this kids head:D:D

Re: Animation Films.
 

It was quite funny the last time I saw it panther, I had the real thing led in front of the telly, Dalmations are barmy:D

Re: Animation Films.
 

I'm more than happy to say I don't need an excuse to watch Disney films as I am proud to say a love them. I own quite a few of them. My favourite has to be Monsters inc. which is run close by one of the old classics, Robin Hood!!!! But I love some of the less popular releases like Hercules and A Bugs Life too. Got to say though the more I watch Ratatouille the more impressed I am with it.

All I've got to do is ingrain them into Emily now and it'll be perfection!!!

Re: Animation Films.
 

me too!!
a right typical dally she was:p, very very boisterous, would even howl at me for a biscuit...LOL
