I also detested Winnie Pooh. I loved the character design, but the story lines were rather bland and the characters themselves were just too stupid.

Emperor's New Groove though, as I've already mentioned, was freakin' awesome. Lilo and Stitch was so-so. However, if you think that The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King are not as good as Winnie the Pooh and Lilo and Stich then I must say that I disown you.

You are officially out of my will.

I agree that Emperor's New Groove was better than Lilo & Stitch. The Little Mermaid took a great fairy tale and replaced all the beautiful bits from it with kitsch. As movies Beauty and the Beast as well as the Lion King were both somewhere in between okay and good. In fact none of these three films were truly bad, it's just that they have no place amongst the truly great children animations such as Disney's Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Snow White, the old Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck shorts, Miyazaki movies such as My Neighbour Totoro or Spirited Away, or the old Russian version of Snow Queen. (I haven't seen Mulan so I can't comment on how good that is.)

It sucks being left out of your will though. It's okay though, I won't complain. I guess I'll just have to rob a bank.
