    Hey, everybody, welcome in to the podcast. We are back with another special bonus episode.

    Bonus episode!

    And we are once again returning to the well, Brad, for our top fives series. I'm excited about this one today. Done a couple of animated movies, top five, but it's been a while, and I think we're putting a kind of unique spin on it today.

    Yeah. Today we are bringing you our top five films, not animated by the soul sucking conglomerate that is Disney.

    I wonder if I could fit all that in an episode title, like just exactly how you described it. It'll look great on Instagram. I think so, too. Yeah.

    We're doing our top five non Disney animated movies today, Brad. We try to do, at least, I'd say, three to four animated movies every season. I'm really glad that we do. It really helps kind of break up some of the heavier, more dramatic and sometimes really long movies that we watch for this show. So animated movies are always welcome here.

    There's a running trope in my home, and I'm quoting my wife specifically on this. Bob picks the worst movies, and usually that is followed up with Why Are They So Stinking Long? So, yeah, animated films are a huge hit here in the G household when it comes to the podcast.

    You've mentioned on two consecutive episodes that we've recorded today, Brad, that your wife says this about. So I have to imagine it is both a very frequent thing that she says and that it must have happened very, very recently.

    Yeah. I was actually describing the Hunchback of Notre Dame to her, and she was like, why does Bob pick the worst movies? Well, at least it's not long. Yeah. At the very least, this one wasn't long. Usually what will happen is it'll be like late at night and she's like, heading to bed. I'm like, I'm just going to go watch this movie for the podcast. And she's like, oh, what is it? And I'm like, oh, it's such and such film. How long is it? 2 hours and 48 minutes. Why does Bob pick the worst movies?

    All right, man. So we're going to try to keep it to short movies today. And they're non Disney animated movies. As we've said. We're also going to be sipping on three whiskies from a distillery that we've been trying to get on the show for probably over a year now. I've been working with them, and we finally were able to get some samples. I cannot wait to try these three whiskies from Starlight Distillery in Indiana.

    Honestly, Bob, the name sounds like a non Disney animation studio. Couldn't you see Starlight Animation? Yeah. I imagine it being like an animated version of Et or something. Yeah. All right, man. Focus on Sci-Fi movies. Exactly.

    Brad, I think we've dillydallied already enough. Why don't we jump right into our top five? Because we have a lot to get through today. Are you cool with that? Yeah.

    My number five movie for top non Disney animated films is a movie, Bob, that I have almost zero memory of. I literally can't think of almost anything that happens in the movie. But I know for a fact that I just love this movie as a kid. I'm talking about Land Before Time, made by Amblin Animation Studios. There it is. I loved the Land Before Time when I was a kid. I never got into about it. I remember a ton about it. I don't remember any of the sequels. And then they got to the point where they were making, like, Land Before Time 25. No exaggeration. It was like there's as many Land Before times as there are. Like now. That's what I call music CDs from back in the 90s. Yeah, Tyler Perry's Medea family. Exactly. I'm pretty sure there's been a Medea and Land Before Time crossover at this point. I mean, why not?

    Land Before Time was such a good movie. I remember Littlefoot and them trying to get away from sharp tooth the Trex. I remember the Big Pointy star. I remember a very tragic, very haunting maternal death in that movie that rivals Bambi for me. Yeah, man. Wow. It's been so long since I've seen that movie. I wonder if it holds up. Yeah.

    I'm very glad that you remember as much about it as you do, because like I said, I just remember the fact that I loved it. And I have vague movie stills in my mind from that movie.

    I'll tell you what, man. It was hard to identify five non Disney movies that I was really passionate about. Yeah, there's a decent sized list, I guess, since we're already into it. I'm not a fan of, like, Japanese anime. I've never found the one for me. So we could have done a whole bunch of Studio Ghibli, Miyazaki movies. We could have even done, like, ones for adults, like Akira or something. But that's just not my genre. And so I'm really sticking with your kind of traditional made for children American style animation here. And it's hard to not trip over a Disney movie for all of my friends out there who are into anime.

    I'm going to recommend an anime show to you, Bob. Are you ready? Yes. It's called One Punch Man. Oh, you've told me about this before. The whole idea of the show is that he has become so powerful, he can destroy anything in one punch. Yeah. And so the whole philosophy of the show is like, what do you do if you are the most powerful hero of all time? It's pretty amusing.

    It's a question I deal with every day. Brad.

    Yeah? How do we deal with being the most powerful podcast of all time?

    All right. For my number five, actually, I'm going to go a little nontraditional. I'm going to go with a movie that's actually a stop motion animation. And it's from one of my favorite directors, and somebody has been on this podcast before, Wes Anderson. And I'm going to go with Fantastic Mr. Fox. This was a movie that he did back in, I think, 2008, and it is just absolutely freaking delightful. It's so funny. George Clooney plays the title character. He's a swindler. It's based on a role doll book. It's so good. My wife and I just rewatched it. We went through all of Wes Anderson's movies and we decided to do the two animated movies that he's done as well. And I got to say, the first time I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox, I was not a huge fan. I hadn't really developed an appreciation for Wes Anderson films yet. This time around, I mean, it's just such a feel good movie. And at the end of the day, that's what I'm looking for in movies like this. So my number five, Wes Anderson's, Fantastic Mr. Fox.

    I'm actually going to throw an honorable mention out there for another movie that I don't have a lot of memory of. Wallace and Gromit: A grand day out. Yeah. When they go to the moon. I remember loving that movie as a kid.

    Stop motion is such a cool medium. And this is a problem with me, not with stop motion, but I feel like I've really got to be hooked by the story to make it through a full movie of it because it is kind of like herky jerky sometimes. And it takes a lot of attention to be able to sit and give yourself over to a movie like that. I don't know if that makes sense to you. Yeah, no, totally. It's so far out there from what normal animation looks like, that no, you totally have to be invested if you're really going to spend your time doing it. Otherwise you'll end up like Ben does in Parks and Parks. Requiem for a Tuesday. That's my favorite short film ever made. I just love the meme that's come from that of him holding that doll and just saying, could a depressed person make this? Also a question I ask myself every day constantly. Yeah.

    Bob, my number four movie is Osmosis Jones. Is it really? I literally watched this movie. I was supposed to watch, like, I don't know, Silence of the Lambs whenever we're doing that. And instead I was like, you know what I'm going to watch? I'm going to watch Osmosis Jones, in which, if I remember correctly, real life Bill Murray gets very sick and inside Bill Murray. Is it Chris Rock? Is it Eddie Murphy who's playing Osmosis Jones? I think it's Chris Rock. It's got Lawrence Fishburn. It's got Bill Murray live in the flesh, eating literally food that has fallen in a cage of like, Zoo animal poop. It's the most not for me. Wild animated. I mean, I guess it is an animated crossover film. So I don't know if it's fully just an animated film, dude. It is so freaking funny. I was laughing so hard the entire time. It's not a good movie. It's not well made, but it's one of the funniest animated films I've ever seen, and I enjoyed it enough to put it on this list.

    All right, so for my number four, I'm actually kind of in the same ballpark as you were talking about people eating things. I'm going with a movie that was made by the directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who have gone on to make some really, really huge movies in the last ten years. This was one of their first efforts. It's called Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It's an adaptation of a children's book, and it really kind of solidified their signature style, which is, if I'm being honest, kind of hit or miss for me. Brad, I don't know if you've seen any Lord and Miller movies, but their trademark is I'm going to throw so much at you both visually and in terms of volume of jokes, that I trust that 60% of them will stick and you'll remember a lot of it, and then you'll be entertained. It's just, like, complete overload. And so a few years after this, they did The Lego Movie, and they did the second Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie. They've done a couple of live action films, 21 Jump Street, and its sequel. Then they ended up producing Spiderman Into the Spiderverse, which is a movie that a lot of people love. And for me, I felt like that was the closest I ever got to having a seizure from flashing lights in a movie theater. I walked out of that movie, and I felt like nauseous. It was just too much for me. But with A Chance of Meatballs, the visuals are just gorgeous. And I think if there is an area where they try to go overboard, it's just in having mile a minute dialogue and ten jokes a minute. Do all of them work? No, but it is so ridiculously silly that I'm just, like giddy when I watch that movie. It's so much fun. Have you ever seen that movie? I have not. Oh, my gosh, dude. Like I said, it's almost like one of those things where if you watch it, like, in 20 minutes chunks, it's almost better because it really is just like visual overload and joke overload. But at the end of the day, what works works really well. So that's my number four.

    Yeah, I'm excited, man. I think that'll be a fun one to watch.

    All right, man, what do you say we take a break here? Let's try the first of these three Starlight whiskies. I say that we start with the Rye.

    This is called Huber's Old Rick House, Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey. Brad, it looks like this one is actually coming in around cask strength. It's at 111.5 proof. It's aged for four years, and all of Starlight's whiskies are distilled aged, bottled on site. So this is not an MGP thing at all. Indiana whiskey, that's not from MGP. How did they do it? Yeah. So from what I understand, Starlight distillery is part of this farm called Huber's, which was basically a vineyard for a long time. And then they decided that they should start making brandy. So they brought in some pot stills. And once the whiskey world kind of exploded, they were like, hey, why not? Let's give it a try. And they've been slowly working their way up through the whiskey world. Their stuff went from being two years old to four years old. Very similar to what we're seeing from a lot of small craft distillers and some of their higher end products. Brad, I'm starting to see on, like, year end lists of best whiskies in America. So this is a company that's really been on my radar. I'm really excited to get into this four year Rye. It smells delicious.

    Yeah. It has all of the spiciness you want from Rye with a little bit of, like, a soft, fruity tone to it. That kind of reminds me of Pear. I love the nose on this. And then when I got into the actual palette and finish. Bob, this is an incredible Rye whisky that you're getting out at four years, I was really blown away with how tasty this is.

    Wow, this is fantastic. I'm just drinking it live now. You're right. I think Pear was a really good note on the nose. I think that the Rye is just young enough that you still get a little bit of kind of like a raw grainy scent to the nose, but it almost smells like if you took a Rye and you just mixed it with a classic bourbon caramel, it has some great dark, sweet bourbon-y notes on it as well. And that's all there on the palate. It's nice and spicy. There's just a little bit of that kind of, like, Tannic quality to it. Man, this is such a good ride at only four years. Yeah. Starlight. Holy crap.

    This is a bottle I would buy in a heartbeat. What a way to announce yourself to the film and whisky podcast. Yeah, for real. I am highly impressed and super thankful that we got to try this one. So let me ask you this, Brad. Do you think that this works at the proof point? Would you prefer it higher or lower or is it in the right spot? Honestly, I don't need it any higher. This might sound a little blasphemous, but I think sometimes bourbon uses proof as a crush point. It almost needs to be higher proof to bring out a lot of the flavor that you're looking for in bourbon. Whereas this one, I don't need any more proof. I have everything I need in the flavor profile here, and it's not blasting me out of the water on proof. I'm happy. All right, Brad, it looks like retail on this is about $55. At least that's what I'm seeing on some websites that picked their own barrel of this and are selling it. So it might honestly be a couple of dollars less than that if you're just getting it off the shelf at a liquor store. I think for $55, especially coming from a small craft distiller, this is a phenomenal value. Yeah, really a spectacular value coming out of a state that isn't known for its unique whiskies. So go buy yourself a bottle of this old Huber Rye whiskey as soon as you can.

    All right, Brad, let's get back into our top five. You want to hit us with your number three pick?

    My number three pick is coming out of the Illumination Studios. It is Despicable Me. Oh, interesting. You're going with the Minions. I am not going with the Minions. I am going with Steve Carell having one of the most beautifully fun and touching relationships with three little orphan girls that you could ever imagine. Out of all the films dealing with touching relationships with orphan girls, this is the most Steve Carell. Yeah, it's the one, man. All right, so is that what hooks you with this movie? Yeah, I think that the way you watch grew the main, I should say, villain of the movie transform through his relationship with these girls. It's just so touching. It feels weirdly down to Earth. And I really like it. And I will say that in this movie, before Minions became the cash grab that they now are, I actually enjoyed the Minions in this movie. They were amusing. They brought a level of humor to the movie that I thought was unique in the world of child entertainment. So I enjoy the Minions in this movie. I think they're funny, but it's really that those three little kids are so cute and so funny. I really love the way this film brings it about. I know that you are not a big Despicable Me fan, though.

    But here's the thing is, I don't know if I've ever sat down and watched it front to back. I think it's one of those things where the culture got so saturated with Despicable Me stuff. And also, if you remember, right around the time Despicable Me came out, they started releasing the Hotel Transylvania movies, and they've done, like, four of each of those franchises. And I think my mind is just so worn out with both of those franchises that I've just kind of formed this amalgam of non Disney movies that I hate. And it's just like both of them are in that and unfairly. So because I don't know that I've ever given it a fair shake. I think based on your recommendation, I might have to go subject myself to some Minions here. Yeah, do it, man. As long as it's not the Minions movie, just watch Despicable Me, the original, the one that started it.

    All right, so for my number three, I'm also doing a movie that launched a few sequels. It's a DreamWorks animated film, Kung Fu Panda. This was a movie that, again, on paper, really silly. It's a Jack, black voiced Panda doing Kung Fu. Like, what more do you need? The fat jokes abound.

    But what I was really blown away by was the depth of the relationships in this movie, especially between PO, the main Panda, and his family. Really strong emotional moments in this movie. And this was also one of the first times where I was truly taken aback at how well other Studios Besides Pixar had figured out how to do computer animation, especially, like, some of the moments where characters are in flight and you see, like, this beautiful sky. A lot of the wide establishing landscape shots in this movie are just breathtaking. And, of course, now I think it's been, like, 13 or 14 years since that movie came out. And it's like, all right, well, we've improved even from there. But this was the first time that I felt like DreamWorks was really doing something on the level of Pixar, and so it's always stuck with me. I really love this movie. Kung Fu Panda is my number three.

    You would say that this was the first time DreamWorks was doing something on the level of Pixar?

    Well, the first time that I really found it noticeable. You got to remember, too, around this time, Pixar had just done ratatouille. They had just done WALL-E, and, like, WALL-E with Ratatouille, it was like, wow, you've really gotten, like, skin textures and fur down. And then WALL-E came out, and it was like, oh, my gosh, you're animating, like, dust particles at a level that no one's ever done this. And so Kung Fu Panda comes out right around that same time. And I'm like, it might not be WALL-E, but it's darn close. And so I felt like if nothing else, the gap had been short a little bit.

    Yeah, dude, I'm just going to say it. Nobody can animate like Pixar. Disney can't animate like, Pixar DreamWorks. I don't care who it is. They have some sort of black magic that they do over there. They're one short about the little Piper birds. I think it's called Piper bro. It is just mind boggling how they animate that stuff. All right, man, we got to drink a second whiskey. I say we go for the baseline bourbon this time. This is called Carl T. Huber's Indiana straight bourbon whiskey. What do you say, Brad?

    Let's get to it.

    All right, so this is Starlight's signature whiskey. It clocks in at 92 proof and four years of age. Brad, you know what? Every once in a while, I just like drinking a no-nonsense, no frills baseline bourbon. Yeah. I mean, we've just gotten into so many different whiskies over the last almost three years now with the podcast that sometimes we do kind of miss out on, like, hey, here's just normal whisky. Drink it. Yeah. Well, and speaking of, I think this perfectly fits that mold, right?

    Yeah. Bob, everything about this whiskey, I don't know how to say this. I need whiskey in my life that just ranks like a seven out of ten in every category, you know what I mean? Yeah. Because I feel like those are the whiskies that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts kind of a thing. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. If each category is a seven, then the whiskey overall ends up being like an eight and a half. You know what I mean? Yes. And that's kind of where I'm at with this. It is pleasantly sweet. It's not overpowering. It's a little bit grainy, but not in such a way that it sours my palate. I mean, every little bit from nose to finish of this experience, I'm just sitting here going, man, this is just a really nice, smooth whiskey. I don't think it should be any higher than 92 proof. I really like this, Bob. I do wish this was aged for maybe one more year.

    Brad, I'm with you because when I first took a nosing of this, I couldn't tell if there was just, like, something residually left on my palate from the Rye we just had. But it was a little grainy and it smelled just a little young. And it was, like, just a wisp of that because the predominant note I got on this was peanut butter. Really nice peanut buttery nose here with an undercurrent of, like, a young Rye. I was like, oh, maybe I'm remembering something or it's just still in my brain, but when I take a sip, those are the two notes as well. It's really drinkable. It goes down like water compared to some of the ones we've had on this show. But again, it's like it's peanut buttery, nice, round, well aged bourbon notes, and then it's undercut with some real young graininess. I assume they're blending this from a variety of barrels. I wonder if this was just a little bit older, if just that little tinge of youth would come out of it. But as it stands, man, this is really, really good. And it's $35 for a bottle of this. Yeah. You can't get that much better. You can't get much better than that from a craft distiller.

    Yeah. I mean, based on my "expert" whiskey palette, I think if you age this 4.28 months, it would be just perfect. Well, listen, I think that this really sets us up well for the last whiskey that we're going to try today. And we'll get to that after our number two picks. So, Brad, why don't you reveal number two?

    Number two! I'm going to be jumping into the DreamWorks Animation studio for my final two films. First up, though, at number two is how to Train Your Dragon, bro. This movie in 2010, I literally don't know what to say about it. It's one of the best movies of all time. It's so well made. It's just so incredibly well made. The pacing of the movie is just spot on at every single moment. The band of Unlikely heroes just fits the mold so perfectly well. It's epic when it needs to it's up close and personal at the most tender of moments. I love how to Train Your Dragon. I was literally just like reorganizing my DVDs and Blurays, and I saw that I have how to Train Your Dragon one and two. And I was like, man, I need to put those back in and watch them because not only is the first one spectacular, but the second one is amazing as well.

    And the third one is quite good too. It's not up to the par of the first two, but if we're talking about trilogies that don't have a bummer of an ending in terms of quality, how does Trainer Dragon has a pretty good third chapter.

    Yes. I honestly haven't seen it. It's good. At some point, you really need to Brad.

    My number two movie also comes from the DreamWorks Animation Studios, and it is a little film called how to Train Your Dragon. Hey, I've never heard of it.

    I love this movie, man. I'm excited we get to talk about it for like 30 more seconds because, you know me, you know, my father's son relationships in movies always touching a chord. I got to say, man, when we started this podcast, I a) did not realize how much I was moved by those kinds of stories in films. And B) did not realize the sheer number of movies that the whole plot hinges on father-son relationships. I guess for the last hundred years, the men of the world have really been grappling with their relationships with their fathers. And that's what cinema is all about.

    We haven't done any foreign films, so it seems like American culture struggling a little bit. Yeah, man, I'm so happy that we both put how to Train Your Dragon at number two, you're going to be incredibly pissed at me for my number one pick. So before we get to that, I say we drink a little bit more whiskey and we're going to finish out today's line up from Starlight with Carl T. Huber's single barrel bourbon finished in Sherry barrels.

    I am super duper pumped for a 107 proof, four and a half year aged bourbon. Brad, the color on this is absolutely beautiful. Yeah, man.

    This just has this gorgeous caramel Amber note to it that it just looks amazing. I will say, though, I don't smell anything on the nose. Like you don't smell anything. I don't smell anything on this nose. Like, there's the tiniest hint of grape. And other than that, I'm not getting anything.

    You know what? You're right. For me, it's a little bit of like a dusty mustiness to this, but it doesn't really take on, like a bourbon character. So this is finished in Oloroso Sherry barrels, which we have had plenty of on the show. But you're right. I feel like the Sherry may be kind of undercutting the natural kind of bourbon notes. It definitely doesn't have that sort of peanut buttery note that we got from the standard bourbon. All right, Brad. I think that on the flavor, this actually kind of picks up a little bit. It definitely does tamp down some of the sweeter, more caramel things that are going on. But I do get that cherry flavor. And you're right, it does come across almost as a winey character on this. I think I said that it has a little bit of a mustiness to it. It doesn't quite tip into, like, the Willett funk, but it's almost there. It's like a dusty kind of like it tastes like it's been stored in the Rick house for a long time and forgotten about in the back and collected dust. I don't know. I like it, but I can see where you're coming from, where you talk about it being kind of muted as well.

    Yeah, that's honestly just about the only word I can use. It feels a little muted to me on the flavors. There's a little bit of that nice musty grape to it. I'm not getting enough of the bourbon notes to really enjoy it. It reminds me a little bit of the what was the cab finished something Hill. Oh, the Pritchard Hill from Jefferson's. Yes. Pritchard Hill. Thank you. It reminds me a little bit of Pritchard Hill, where I just felt like the finishing in a wine barrel almost muted everything I loved about the whiskey. So unfortunately, this is the only one that I'm a little bit lower on, which is disappointing because hot damn bro the Rye, and they're just a classic bourbon offering. I am 200% sold on.

    All right, so if you had to rank these one through three? Rye, bourbon, Sherry. I would go Rye, Sherry, bourbon, probably. I think the Rye is like a no brainer recommendation for me. And then the other two, it's kind of like I would still recommend either of them, but it's more like a take your pick. Like, if you are really into the idea of a lower proof whiskey or a lower proof bourbon that's going to hit all the right notes go with that if you want something finished. I would say go with the Sherry. I like the Sherry and I think I like it a little bit more than you on the second or third step. I'm really getting a lot of nice vanilla so. Yeah, man, I would give all three of these a thumbs up, but a definite two thumbs up to that Rye.

    Yes. Bob, I think that Starlight is putting out some phenomenal whiskeys. Even if I am a little bit lower on the Sherry finish, Bob, it's still a good whiskey. I'm not going to sit here and pretend anything otherwise. So guys, if you can find yourself some Starlight, go out and get it. We are so grateful that they sent us these samples with no strings attached. We are just incredibly blessed to be able to try these whiskies and give you our recommendation. You know, the fact that you said no strings attached means that everyone listening now is like there's got to be a string attached now. Oh, they paid us as soon as you said. These guys are on the take. Yeah, they paid us tens of dollars to give that review.

    All right, Brad, let's reveal our number one film and I'm going to go first because you're not going to like my choice. I already know what you're choosing, Bob. What am I choosing? No, just go ahead and say it. No, I want you to tell me. No, you just say it, Bob. Alright. I'm going with a movie that you gave a nice six out of ten to. I'm going with The Iron Giant. Obviously, Brad, this movie is so good and I have truly racked my brain thinking about like how did this movie not work for you? Because I feel like it checks every single box that it should for you. It's not a long movie. It's set in the 1950s. It has like an Indiana Jones kind of vibe to it. It has sci-fi elements, it has sacrifice. It's a perfect coming of age story. Now again, as we've gone through the podcast and I've seen your reaction to multiple coming of age movies including Et, which this is very similar to. I also gave a six out of ten. Again. Yeah, I can at least understand that you're going to give the movies like this a six out of ten. But Brad, I think this is like a nearly perfect movie and I will never be able to wrap my mind around how you didn't enjoy this movie.

    It just didn't flow well. There was just something about The Iron Giant that just didn't hit the right notes at the right time. Now I'll give you man, when he flies up there and he dies to the nuclear bomb that he was meant to bring to Earth, like, yeah, sure. It was a very nice sacrifice. I just didn't enjoy the movie, man.

    Quick Story for Film and Whisky listeners back when we were doing these reviews. I think Iron Giant was season one, and we had very it was two or three, man, was it really was it that far on? Yes, I think it was. All right. So we'll say season two just for the sake of the story. We had very few listeners at the time The Iron Giant rolled around. And I remember making a post about it on Instagram. And a guy who worked really high up in the animation Department on The Iron Giant, like, saw all of our posts commented, said, man, working on this movie was like the joy of my life and was like engaging with us on social media. And then we dropped the episode. Brad just shat on this guy's movie for an hour. So, yeah, I was really hoping that Brad would come around on Iron Giant so we could be interviewing this guy on our show. But Alas, it didn't flow for him.

    It sure didn't, man.

    All right, man, why don't you reveal your number one?

    There's only one choice when it comes to non Disney animated films, and it's The Prince of Freaking Egypt. That is the correct title, right? The official title. Yeah, dude. The Prince of Egypt. You want to talk about a movie that checks all the boxes? The Prince of Egypt checks all the boxes. Phenomenal voice performances. Check. Beautiful animation. Check. Absolutely. Phenomenal cinematography for an animated film. Check. Like, the soundtrack for that movie is out of this world. Every single piece of this movie is nearly perfect to perfect. I know that there's not a massive contingent of people who love this movie. I'm sure that not everybody saw it when it came out in, I believe, 98, 99. But if you haven't seen The Prince of Egypt, you need to stop what you're doing and go watch it right now. Because we just talked about The Hunchback of Notre Dame and how epic it was and how it tries to be epic over and over and over again. This movie just casually is epic in every single moment. And it's so good.

    Well, you'll have a chance to watch it as we get closer to viewing it for season five because it's coming up at some point. We don't know when yet because we really, truly are drawing these movies at random this year. So we don't know when. Except for Spiderman, which was a shameless cash grab, just like no Way Home. But I digress.

    All right, so, Bob, as you were scouring the Internet for non Disney animated films, I have, like, one movie that ended up on every list that I just think is a garbage movie, and I don't even know the full name. The Ferngully...The Fairies of Ferngully. Is that what it's like? I have never watched Fern Gully and I never will. Right. There are so many things in life that I need to see that aren't Fern Gully. Like, I'm good so many people love that movie and I don't get it. Cool. Good for them. That's where you just say like, hey be blessed, enjoy your life. Yeah.

    All right. So those are our top fives. We want to know what you think, though. Who had the better list? What did we leave off? What's a movie that's a non Disney animated film that you love.
