Well, it’s time once again…! I’ve found another meme where I can express the stuff I’m most passionate about! Once again, the topic is animation-listing off mostly movies on this list. These are some of my favorites, more or less-I say more or less because a few of them are candidates that came to my mind on the spot that happened to fit the bill (I listed off Captain Underpants’ First Epic Movie under “Because it’s funny”, because it’s given me the best laughs in recent memory).
HOWEVER…I’m doing this a bit differently from the way it’s set up. Because so many of these same movies compete for the same category more than once, I’m not going to limit them exclusively to each of their respected boxes. Instead, I’m going to list each one off, and THEN list the categories they fall under. (Save for two of those slots)
Toy Story 3 (2010)-Because it’s well-written, Because it makes me happy, Because it makes me cry, Because it has great characters, Because it’s funny, Because it doesn’t talk down to its audience, Because it’s popular, Because it’s got charm, Because it’s well-acted, Because it helped me appreciate the medium of animation

A Few Small Digressions:
-I’m not one of those people who likes things for being offensive and crude. I like content that can get that way, but is SMART about it’s crude/offensive humor and has more substance beneath it.
-A few of what I considered “guilty pleasures” on this list were movies that aren’t generally regarded as ‘bad’, but part of me does feel as though I can get more invested in their stories than I probably ought to.
-In each case of “Because a friend recommended it to me” on this list, said friend was really one specific person: my sister!

How long did you know Holloway voiced many characters? And how did you react when you found out?

I actually knew that ever since I was little-a handful of my VHS tapes featured brief documentaries about the making of the films. I had learned about Holloway's performances in the Jungle Book documentary, as he also voiced Kaa AND the stork from Dumbo.
