いただき FORUMS - Itadaki

Last night my brother and I were looking on youtube for old Disney movie songs (ya know, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan, etc.) and then came upon some older non-Disney cartoon movies.

One in particular that I loved as a kid was Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. My grandfather would always buy us the latest cartoon movies. But this one was different...it had a very "Japanese animation" quality to it, which I never knew about until much much later.

I used to have it on VHS, but when I was in 8th grade our house was broken into and they stole our entire VHS collection. And sadly that movie was and is VERY rare, including the newer 2004 DVD release from Funimation (which I'm looking for desperately!).

Anyways, I have more oldies I love, which ones did you love as a child?

You can get the DVD on eBay easily. Just... be prepared to shell out as much as $80 for a copy x.x I get the feeling it'll see a rerelease eventually.

I still have the old VHS, and it doesn't go for NEAR as much as the DVD ($10 or less). And it was a major collaboration between Japanese, French, and American art studios, and is positively fantastic ^_^

My personal favorites are The Last Unicorn and The Secret of NIMH. They're both amazing pieces of art and very deep for 'children's entertainment.'

I think one I was obsessed with as a kid was Troll In Central Park, but I don't think I'd appreciate it all that much nowadays.

I too had the Little Nemo movie mentioned, but I'm not sure we've got it anymore.

Oh, and not sure if it counts, but I still love Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Roger Rabbit should count. And yes, classic.

Yeah...that's too much for my blood. It was rereleased by Funimation...they just didn't put out enough of them. Jerks. I hope someone else picks it up.

I never watched The Last Unicorn much (I didn't see it till late '90s) but Secret of Nimh is awesome, as are most of Don Bluth's works (All Dogs go to Heaven, Land Before Time, Fievel Goes West).

And Roger Rabbit was great, I watched that all the time too! But I always skipped the part where the shoe got dipped in the ooze...D: I cried for the poor shoe!

I made a half-hearted attempt at a copy of Nemo. $30 sounded fair. It jumped to $55 without trying x.o

And yes, poor shoe ;_;

AND... the Last Unicorn got a 25th anniversary DVD release (which was last year, 82-07). I got mine for a mighty $10 at Target, and that was around March. Might be in the $6 DVD section by now, provided it hasn't cycled out.

Its kind of sad too though, but a GREAT story. Schmendrick the magician is one of my favorite characters from literature. He says some amazingly insightful and quotable things.

D'oh, and how could I forget Oliver and Company? Billy Joel just rocks in that classical sense.

Little Nemo is on there too. Pretty much every movie ever in fact. THey can't keep them off, and I guess the cost of lawyer action to get oldies removed isn't cost-effective.

One of my Old-School favorites is Animalympics.Its a really awesome Movie
about the Animal-Version of the Olympic-Games with a Nice 70es Flair. ^^

Another one is The Elm Chanted Forest from 1986. A very classic animated cartoon from Croatia(my Roots ^^), made by Milan Blazekovic.It is also available on DVD ^^

Also I have enjoyed Rock a Doodle. Also a classic one from Don Bluth. ^^
Best Elvis-Imitation ever xD

Two more are The Last Unicorn and Coonskin.
