Rewatched this for the first time since I was 5 or 6.

Holy cow - the animation is mind blowingly next level. Apparently, it was the first digitally finished animated film, ever.

Yet, it completely tanked at the box office. Its director also later did Pocahontas, and animated most Disney hits in the last 30 years.

Do yourself a favor and rewatch this gem. No need to watch the original first. It’s a completely different film.

    Yes!! I haven’t thought about what my favorite animated movies are but this might be number one. I know it makes a difference having watched it when I was little but it just feels so immersive, like I’m moving through that space as the story unfolds around me.

    I used to call one of my good friends Bernard instead of his real name, the joke was using some made up wrong name and that one stuck, but I didn’t realize until now why I liked that name : ) And we say Joaaannaaaaaa surprisingly often in our house

    Hands down my favorite animated movie (apart from Aladdin for some reason). Wife blew my mind when she taught me about the original Rescuers. “Rescue Aid Society”… that’s my jam.
