Animation simply means bringing 2-D and 3-D objects to life to provide the illusion of movement, so in a sense; yes I will classify that as animation. I personally stopped watching The Simpsons years ago.

I am not trying to put words in you mouth, but are you trying to imply that family guy has depth?

The Little Mermaid story is a lot older than either movie. It's an old Danish story from around 1830.
The story is similar to Disney's version. A mermaid falls in love with a prince she saved from a storm. And the only way for a mermaid to get a soul (to go to heaven) is to marry a human. She gets a potion from the sea witch to get legs, but loses her voice (and her ability to sing enchanting songs to win over a human). If she fails, then she dies and turns into sea foam. And so the prince falls in love with a princess and not the mermaid. As she accepts her death, her sisters get a magic knife from the sea witch that the little mermaid could use to kill the prince and become a mermaid again. But as she was about to, she couldn't. She throws herself into the sea and turns into sea foam. But, instead, she turns into an air spirit due to her pure longing to have a soul. With good deeds, she can earn a soul and go to heaven.

Not quite the happy story Disney gave, is it? lol I haven't seen Ponyo yet, so I can't compare to that. But if it is similar, it's from the same roots.

That's very true. For example, The Fox and the Hound.

They would give happy endings to anime that had sad endings. Disneyfied could be like this horror movie.

it depends - 08-27-2009, 08:15 PM

It kinda depends on the type of movie you wanna see
because if you wanna see somthing with alot of anthropomorphism or happily ever after stories disney is deffinitly the way you go
but if you wanna see alot of blood and gore with some romance on the side japanese is way better.
personally I think japan is way better at animating
hope it helps

you wish you were sober
