Fascinating!

The only animated movie in the past few years that has been good without being heavily influenced by anime, IMO, is "The Emperor's New Groove" - which was so unlike the last few things Disney's put out, I couldn't believe it was theirs.

Sigh... I have to find an outfit for a funeral tomorrow.

I think that since the rise of computer animation a lot of US animation has become more anime-ish--maybe computers make it easier to do that or something.

I haven't seen Emperor's New Groove. I generally try to avoid Disney stuff now, although I rented Atlantis recently and that was better than I expected. For the most part I only watch pre-1990s Disney stuff, though--I think about Little Mermaid was when they really started to go downhill.

Whose funeral do you have to go to tomorrow?
