My list is finished. I didn't watch much this time. Another month where I didn't feel like watching stuff until late in the month. Then I didn't have time to watch very much.

I still have a few unwatched Disney DVDs in my HT that I hope to get to this week.

finalized list - really didn't do much in terms of watching animated music videos this go around - oh well... there's always next year

Thanks, everybody! It was a fun challenge to host! I'm glad that so many people enjoyed it as well!

Is there any changes to the checklist anyone would like to make/comment on? I do plan on adding two studios for next year: Rankin/Bass and DreamWorks. Any comments for or against before I do?

Also, I'm giving one last notice to a few people who haven't updated their lists and haven't posted in the last few days here in the discussion thread.

2. SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS, VOLUME 1: 1960s

3. THE SMURFS: Season One, Volume One

4. THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: Season Two

5. THE ESSENTIAL BUGS BUNNY

Thanks again to Goldenwheels for offering them!

I had a blast during this challenge and was able to watch quite a bit of new stuff. I suppose the highlights included watching the fourth season of The Venture Bros. and the excellent anime series Le Chevalier D'Eon. It was also nice to revisit some good Disney and Pixar films as well as some Studio Ghibli films. Looking over my list, the only disappointment may have been Epic, a beautiful film filled with tired jokes, an uninspiring story, and some of the blandest leads I've seen in a long time.

Thanks to the LJG765 and GoldenWheels and everyone else who participated!

My list is finalized. I managed to finish off three different series this year, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Kill La Kill, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, along with a sprinkling of movies, shorts and stand-alone episodes.

I'm not doing the checklist, so my list is final.


Thanks for hosting, LJG765!

the two feature length films that wowed me were

Space Pirate Captain Harlock - I want the import 3D bluray now! that took a huge 'ol royal crap on the stupid live action version of Space Battleship Yamato by a landslide!

Wrinkles - from the director of the animated film The Illusionist - really really sad and very adult in tone and story

~

I didn't think the unrated version of Ted could be any more cruder and crass - but it was - still made me laugh seeing it for a second time.
