The Y Life

Have you seen Yahoo’s list of top ranked animated films?

The top 10 were:
1. Up
2. Wall-E
3. Bolt (WTF?!)
4. Kung Fu Panda (WTF, again?)
5. Spirited Away
6. The Lion King
7. My Neighbor Totoro
8. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
9. Toy Story
10. Beauty and the Beast.

Yes I saw it. Though I agreed with some, I disagreed with others also.

Though I liked Kung Fu Panda, I don’t think it deserved to be that high on the list.
And I don’t think Bolt should be on the Top 10 AT ALL.

I love how they put anime films in there. But some people were really rude and commented on how they should take anime films out. Well, anime is still animation right? Hurrah for Miyazaki!

But what I was most angry about was how The Lion King wasn’t #1. I think it should’ve been. Biggest animated classic ever (in my opinion).

I haven’t seen Up yet, but I heard it was pretty good. But still, it doesn’t look as awesome as The Lion King to me.

(How did all these computer-animated movies beat out the original animated classics? That I will never know. I mean, some like Finding Nemo and Toy Story were pretty good, but the newer ones are not that awesome.)

are you excited things coming in 2011?

i know its the wrong section but are you?
i am

I am excited for some things but not all. Born This Way and Skins Season 5 are probably the things I’m most looking foward to.

Does anybody know where i can find Lumiere (the candle stick-from Beauty and the Beast) on sale!?

You can find a bunch of Lumiere products (i.e. figurines, pins, and jewelry boxes) for sale on eBay.

Does anyone know the complete list of Lenox Disney Classics collection?

I’m just starting the whole disney classics collection and would like both old and new figurines. I can’t find a complete catalog anywhere so I’m starting with Beauty and the Beast.

This may turn out to be a lifetime preoccupation! The Lenox site itself currently lists under DISNEY:
Storybook Princesses & Fairies (57)
Mickey Mouse & Friends (41)
Other Animated Characters (38)
Other Disney Characters (35)
Winnie the Pooh & Friends (11)

Finding the RETIRED ones is the big challenge. I could not find a complet list, but this site seems to have a huge list of them:

I’m assuming that like most collectibles, they will ADD more each year – and have RETIRED many along the way.

What’s the DisneyChannel movie where a guy does magic and…?

I think the movie starts out with the guy doing magic involving doves. And later on I think the movie has something to do with a mechanical bull? I don’t know. My memory isn’t that good But I remember DisneyChannel used to have commercials about how to do magic tricks because it had something to do with the movie.

now you see it. Or something like that.

Auditioning for Lefou in Beauty and the Beast-suggestions?

So I’m trying out for the part of Lefou in an upcoming production by an local theater company (amateur, but extremely good). Anyone have any suggestions for playing Lefou? From what I see he’s extremely physical, and seems to always have an annoying nasal voice- is this always true, or is it just the actor playing him? Any character suggestions would be welcomed.
it’s for the Lyric Theater Company in Vermont

Just be high pitched and obnoxious. And it helps if you are smaller than the guy playing Gaston.

What are the voice parts for Beauty & the Beast?

I think we’re doing Beauty & the Beast for our musical at school this year and I want to know what the voice parts are. Anybody know??

I think you mean more like, who’s a baritone, a tenor, etc.? If so, check out these links for that information as well as a character description, audition prep info, etc.

Decision making tips between two WEDDING dresses, ideas?

I need some basic decision making tips to help me decide between two dresses, it’s not been an easy decision and time is running out to order it for the wedding. The prices are quite similar, so that doesn’t help much either.

Personally, I like the sound of the second one, but it’s your wedding and your decision. Sometimes it helps if you ask a friend to pick one for you, your gut instinct usually tells you whether you agree with that choice or not if you feel more leneance over one than the other then go for that one.
