🤠🥀 (hi it's metal-dads 👋)

Hello @metal-dads !! Thank you for sending this! 😊

🤠: Are you more of a City Person or a Country Person?

Oh, definitely a City Person haha! I don't think I could ever live in a rural community or somewhere out in the country just because my biggest fear would be how long it would take to get to the hospital in case of an emergency. I can't help but think that any time I see a beautiful farmhouse when we drive to see my inlaws, 'BUT HOSPITAL?!'

But I've also lived in a big city my whole life so I don't have the experience of country living.

🥀 Your Favourite Animated Movie?

This was a way tougher question because I have so many caveats, are we talkin favourite animated movie from my childhood, my favourite now as an adult? A favourite claymation, digital animation, hand drawn? Because I love so many animated movies honestly.

IF we are talking, favourite from my childhood, that I could recite verbatim now as an adult? It would be The Lion King -hands down.

But also maybe Nightmare Before Christmas - I watch that every year and have to sing along. Tis a must every Halloween!

(This was very fun to think about and try to answer, thank you!)

11-15-24 Lock. From Secret of Nihm

[whispsofwind]

I wonder why there's so many children stories about mice and other small critters behaving like people.

I mean, on the top of my head, I can name the Redwall books (I was OBSESSED with Martin as a child), Don Bluth's An American Tail and The Secret of Nihm (with their sequels), Disney's Basil of Baker Street, and the absolutely adorable Brambly Hedge series (I had the one about the four seasons as a child and the illustrations are so absolutely charming).

Like, when you think about it it's SUCH a specific trope. I am sure the anthropomorphisation intrinsic to many classic tales and parables is partly at the root of it, but it goes beyond it because it's not just speaking animals, it's speaking mice and rats specifically behaving and dressing like tiny people.

Dunno I just find it cute

[sonicjustbecause]

Mhhh... I doubt right now.

PG 12 = PG7 in 1982

On a side note - how necessary was to show the rat was a guy?

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no what do you mean the movie is going to be pg-12!?!?!? no no way nope nu-uh it's got to be at least 15 or 16!

Someone literally got shot and I am not leaving the Cinema without seeing my dead Maria!

Movie night!

Hey everyone! So last week I wasn't feeling well and couldn't host. But this week I'm back! And we're doing an animated mouse double feature.

When? In about two hours Where? Right here! We're usually talking non-stop in the chat, but if you just want to quietly watch along too, that's just fine! We'll be happy to have you either way. ^__^ At the end of every movie night, we discuss what to watch next week. So if you have a suggestion you want to put forward, you gotta be there! =p

Watched Secret of NIMH the other day and then put on Secret of NIMH 2 on right after. How the fuck did I like that movie so much as a kid???? I know all Don Bluth movie sequels are just Like That but that one felt especially egregious in how deep the quality fell

This started from an old iAnimate exercise from 2020. I wanted to improve and expand upon the original 7 second project, and still had a couple months left on my old student license for Maya 2019. All character rigs provided by iAnimate. All animation done in Maya 2019 and 2023, and rendered with Arnold For Maya.

Why would you do this to me, OP?! It’s like making me pick my favorite non-existent child.

THIS IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST. I just wanted to highlight some beloved and underrated nostalgic classics.

I am NOT counting: Studio Ghibli, DC, Marvel, Scooby-Doo, sequels/prequels, and most other franchises. I made an exception with MLP and Care Bears because both films were produced at the beginning of their franchises, as opposed to the G.I. Joe series, Transformers, etc. There's a LOT to cover in the 80s-90s, hence why I split the two polls. This is basically Don Bluth's Era lol.

90's Poll

Happy voting! ❤

Stray thought's about Burrow's End before I go to bed

I strongly suspect that Brennan with his character Tula is deliberately channelling Mrs Brisby from The Secret of NIHM, the single mother mouse who's very timid socially but extremely brave.

I like the way Erika plays an elderly character, other Dimension 20 PCs who are supposed to be old, I.E Timothy Goose in Neverafter, don't really feel old but Erika's voice and body language and mannerisms are really rich with character

I'm not familiar with Jasper but I am tempted to check out Three Black Halflings based on how charming he was here

Aabria continues to be a really absorbing DM, compared to most of the other popular DMs, Aabria gives me the vibe of reading a book.
