    Animated movies are unviersally amazing they've bought us together and put a smile on all our faces for a century now. Here's to hoping for another century worth of smiles.

  • Frylocke, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1That was actually way awesome.

  • popltree2, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1@nesagwa If you are insulting someone in a thread about the English language, please at least try to exercise third grade spelling and punctuation. In other words, it is "you're" and not "youre". Have a chipper day too, douche bag.
  • chaos7, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1where will we be 100 years from now
  • RegalBegal, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1...but not the 'invention' of opium :)

    superfluous words are superfluous
  • RegalBegal, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1That minstrel BASTARD!!!
  • Mason86, on 04/12/2009, -0/+0I was thinking it should be "Le Voyage Dans La Lune" until I found an even earlier one. an Edison film by James Stuart Blackton called "The Enchanted Drawing". its great little animation and I find it even more fascinating that he is interacting with the animation too!! you can find this animation on youtube!
  • VVCephei, on 08/18/2008, -0/+0Fun Fact: ***** you.
  • JMartzall, on 08/18/2008, -0/+0So the French are responsible for Cartoon Violence... I thought it was itchy and scratchy.
  • asskicker32, on 08/18/2008, -2/+1Wow, Animation is almost as old as McCain!


  • t3hmyth, on 08/18/2008, -3/+1It's not.

  • kishosingh, on 08/18/2008, -5/+0What do you think about the Indian Movies : http://allmoviesandfilm.blogspot.com/
  • Scrappy1850, on 08/18/2008, -7/+2happy birthday anime tentacle pr0n!
  • Vulphaestion, on 08/18/2008, -7/+2Wait, you're telling me Walt Disney didn't create it?!
  • nesagwa, on 08/18/2008, -11/+5Fine.

    Youre a douchebag.

    In this ever evolving language and under my misunderstanding of basic definitions I just said you were a very fine fellow.

    Have a chipper day douchebag.
  • blankmedia, on 08/18/2008, -6/+0Live-Action FTW!
  • daRoach, on 08/18/2008, -10/+3Fun fact: This animation was created in Macromedia Flash.
  • daRoach, on 08/18/2008, -14/+2The english language is a living changing being. What's not a word today will be a word tomorrow.
