I dont feel sorry for Disney ^^; I dont like ppl copying on tests or animation factories copying scripts and ideas...
I'd like to know if there is any Disney fan here cuz I'd like to ask what do he/she thinks about sequels like Peter Pan 2...Little Mermaid 2 and...so
(Don't hate me...Im just a lil dissapointed with Disney's latest policy)
I'm a huge Disney fan, and even I think they're cheap-quels are horride. They've done some good sequels in the past (Rescuers Down Under, Return of Jafar and Aladin and the King of Theives) but as general rule if it says "2" it's going to suck. (exception: Beauty and the Beast's 2 sequels did had sub-titles rather then numbers, but they still in fact, sucked)
I don't feel sorry Disney lost, especailly to such a beautiful film, I just don't want to hear the dumbass "otaku" ranting on message boards "HAHAH! Disney lost to anime! Now it's clear who is better! I'm glad people now see Disney sucks and is for kids and Anime is for adults since it wins Oscars!", which is why I'm leaving forever if any post like that show up here.
(note: not all otaku are dumbasses, most are great people... but the few bad apples have ruined anime for me, which makes me sad)

I agree completely with you there. It's the same way with most things, even games. Especially games. It shouldn't matter what system a game is on, or who made it, just whether it's good or not.
I say it's the best way for everything, judging the product "as is", no matter what kind of product it is. Anyway opinions and preferences are always there, and if somebody doesn't like one company, that somebody will have his/her reasons. So I think it's perfectly legitimate not to like Disney, but that doesn't have to mean automatically rejecting everything from them.

HAHAH! Disney lost to anime! Now it's clear who is better! I'm glad people now see Disney sucks and is for kids and Anime is for adults since it wins Oscars! 
Now seriously, I'm glad too that Miyazaki's movie got the Oscar over the others, as everybody else here it seems. It was clearly over the others IMO. On DVD in april 2nd, I can't wait...arf! arf!

Spirited Away had that deserving win, but that doesn't mean Disney's cartoons are bad.
Well, the present crop of Disney cartoons seem to have been universally panned by critics and movie-goers alike.
Me, the last Disney show I remember enjoying was '98's Mulan.
The next year, I groaned when the animals began dancing to the music of pots and pans in Tarzan.
That was the last Disney cartoon I watched until last years' Treasure Planet where Joel and I found the movie so crappy we began referring to Jim as Ken, Silver as Akuma, the catain as Chun Li, the dog-guy as Dhalsim and Morph as the Spirit of Shen Long in the theatre. Oh, and referrred to Ke...I mean, Jim's, fancy climax-capping move with the skateboard as the Lvl 3 hurricane kick.

And heck, it's not like every other studio isn't guilty of releasing bad crud and what not in terms of the all mighty dollar. Every studio in America and Japan has been guilty of it at some point...:P
Releasing bad movies to earn more money is an idea tha I cant associate to Studio Ghibli. Maybe sounds like the usual otaku way of thinking but...Im trying to rememorate seriously any lacking of quality release from this Studio but I...just can't. Somebody, please, correct me.

Hehe, I think youre right. Its more serious to base opinions in products, not on the producers...anyway I didnt mean to criticize any title, just gave my oppinion...being honest I didnt even watch Lilo&Stitch or El planeta del tesoro (Spanish title..dunno the original one)so I cant judge'em.
What I could judge is the way Disney is overloading the market with cheap sequels from classic films instead of the majestic super-productions Disney's is supposed to create to charm the world. I miss that.
I do even prefer Disney to steal scripts for making superb movies like Lion King instead heresies like Little Mermaid 2 @_@.

^___^;;; Hope noone here say such thing.
Anyway...Spain is, as aways, old fashioned in its way of thinking.
Maybe noone in the Cafe needs to hear that Anime is not just for kids or hentai freaks...but an Oscar here, in my country, means exactly that: Respice to those who encourage ppl to taste some deep anime like....mmm....Wings of Honneamise, Cowboy Bebop, Spirited Away itself....
In Spain anime = heidi + mazinger + porn for kids.
Anyway...even if you/we dont wanna hear it...the fact is that Otakus from every place in the world are celebrating the way Ghibli 'defeated' two Disney nominated movies with one single blow. Otakudakara....º_º
^_^ btw, Today's new word: cheap-quels. lololol :P 1st time I hear/read it.

I bet cowboy bebop wins next year. or at least it gets a nod.
I don't think it would win, here's a short list as to why:
-Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust could have been nomiated the first year, it wasn't, Powerpuff Girls could have been nominated last year, it wasn't... just because you're an animated movie doesn't put you in the running. (however, since I can only think of 4 other movies... Finding Nemo, Rugrats Go Wild, Dreamwork's CGI film due out later this year, and if you want to put in a sure fire loser Jungle Book 2... then you can ignore this, it'll probably get a nod to make a nice even 5)
-Due to the behind-the-scenes politics Finding Nemo will probably win. (Monsters Inc. lost to Shrek, so this will be their chance to give Pixar the Oscar they earned but couldn't get before)
-It's a good movie, but there's a difference between "good fun!" and "Best Picture", anyone who watches BeBop can plainly see it's not worth of the award. (the animation is good, but the story's pretty basic, as well as the fact you sort of need to know BeBop to understand who the characters are and what makes them special.)
So if we're starting the office pool early, my $5 is on Finding Nemo... the rest of my money will be used to see the dubbed Bebop movie on a theater screen that isn't super tiny (art house theaters SUCK!)
