Once, while in Vietnam, I had pho in tom yum goong. It was, like, the perfect blend of Southeast Asian awesomeness.Our local Vietnamese place closed before I got to try it.
I was eating nachos in front of my 8 month old. She desperately wanted one. My wife was in the shower. I gave my infant daughter a chip. She dipped the chip in the queso con carne like a pro and a took a bite like a boss. I was super impressed. She was watching me and aped me perfectly on the first try. She threw up later, but I was proud of her fine motor skills.
Depends on if she has to deal with the baby first or not.
She didn't really have much cheese, and she only ate one chip. No diaper explosions. 
Generally, yes. More specifically, it sounds like Wernicke's aphasia.
Better than Anastasia, the disease where you just can't keep wasting great animation on awful stories.
Hey! I loved Anastasia. Probably Don Bluth's best release of the 90's.
Really? Don Bluth's charm was in doing films that didn't ape the Disney aesthetic while still being good. This makes Anastasia (which he made during a financial situation) one of his WORST movies. I mean... the comedy bat? Rasputin as a wizard in an otherwise realistic film? The movie had some serious dissonance issues.
It was just trying too hard to be Disney right down to the blatantly inaccurate historical depictions, Disney OWNS that!
No, that was clearly....
*Checks when Titan A.E. came out*
Huh, 2000. Never mind, you're safe this time, I don't care to debate over the rest.
Now THAT is an under appreciated movie. Almost as under appreciated as Treasure Planet.
Being an ex-Disney animator, I'd say he actually DID have a very Disney-style, but always with his own twist. It was something he carried over with him. You could tell when he was the lead animator on a character during his Disney years. As far as success, it had a number of Oscar nominations and is still his high-grossing movie. (Though I wouldn't say his best. Personally, I have a hard time choosing between The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail or the original Land Before Time.) And yes, the movie could have done with less Bartok, but I find him on par with Iago for "sidekicks that could have used FAR less screen time".

Whoa. Clear Channel just changed their name.

I expect to see them selling off radio stations faster than they have been, I think, given their shift to internet-based nincompoopery.

Haven't they been using that name for awhile? I'm sure I've heard stuff for iheartmedia before.

It was one of their "brands." This would be like... Samsung renaming themselves Galaxy.
Honestly, the Land Before Time doesn't hold up QUITE as well as an adult, having just showed it to my daughter (she LOVED it). NIMH definitely had a more mature subtext that I missed a bit of as a child, but it was enjoyable on all levels, like An American Tale.
I just loved Anya's character design... dem redheads, yo.

I had a choice once as a kid with his mom in a movie theater, to get a ticket to see The Dark Crystal or The Secret of NIMH*. I chose Crystal because it had been in the theaters longer and I thought that meant NIMH would still be around for me to see when we came back a week or two after. It was not. I was all kinds of teenager unhappy for a couple months about that, and it was probably almost 10 years later that I finally caught a good bit of it on cable at someone's house. Still haven't seen the whole thing beginning to end. Can't be creepier than Watership Down, though.

Yeah, Secret of Nimh was pretty boss. Probably my fav.
Now you want to see a REAL indie animator? Check out Bill Plympton's work.[DOUBLEPOST=1410903877,1410903829][/DOUBLEPOST]

It's nowhere near as bad as Watership Down, but it has some spooky visuals.
I used to really love his work until I met him at animation festival. He spent a good amount of time trying to get us 20-year-old women drunk and back to his hotel with him.
