Day Two


Day 02 - Your Favorite Movie


It's no secret that I'm something of an animation nerd. There is just something about classic, traditional handdrawn animation that's (don't hit me for using a cliche) magical. It's a painstakingly thorough art, and when done well it is clear to the viewer that he or she is watching a meticulously crafted labor of love. Knowing this, it's only logical that I have an affinity for Disney's animated films, and that my favorite is the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty. The artwork in this movie is absolutely stunning, with backdrops inspired by classic midievil paintings complemented with a musical score adapted from the original Tchaicovsky production. Plus, Maleficent is the head bitch in charge of Disney villains, the original BAMF.

Honorable Mentions are Kill Bill (Vol 1 and 2), Josie and the Pussycats, Jennifer's Body, Ponyo, and just about half of Disney's animated films.
