I is NOT that Disney didn't TRY!  On JUly 24th, 1985, Disney release "The
Blak Cauldron".  This movie had a a hard core "fantasy novel" plot.  It
was really an adult movie.  It feature zombies, death nights and really
frightining special effect that were state of the art at the time.  This
movie scared children.  Disney set itself up for disaster.  The adults
just could grasp it and the kidies were just plain scared.  The movie
bombed.

Yeah, I think I remember watching a disney film like that. Of course, I
was five and had just arrived in the US so my english was horrible and
didn't understan a thing.

Yeah, most of my friends say that Japanese animation is the best in the
world and that the US can't compare. Either they don't think Disney is
better or they dont' think about it. I have always believed that Disney
had the best animation when he first started, and I believe they still
have the best animation. Now, story line and stuff, I think Japan is
better with their humor but I don't think that Japan can beat Disney's
art, even thought I think many of the artists are from Asain.

Hmmmmm.... looking at things like Macross: Do You Remember Love, Macross Plus, and 
Akira, which are simply beautiful, I'd have to say that at best they are on par.  Then 
again, Disney tends to use a *lot* of computor tricks to brighten things up (not that 
Akira and Mac+ didn't, just not as many...)
