-- "Despite being a die-hard `Little Mermaid' fan, I'd like to rave about `Anastasia.' It's better then `Hunchback of Notre Dame' and it's better than `Hercules.' "

-- "My favorite animated movie, it has got to be `The Little Mermaid.' I don't know why it's, just like, my favorite movie because I love it so much. And I saw it, like, when I was really young so I guess that has a part. I just love it and I'll always love it."

-- "My favorite of all time is `Lady and the Tramp.' The songs, that kiss, it's great!"

-- "I'd have to say (my favorite animated movie is) `Toy Story.' "

-- "My favorite animated movie would be `Beauty and the Beast.' I think it is the best animated movie ever. The story is entertaining and the song scenes are spectacular."

-- "(The) best animated movie ever (is) `Sleeping Beauty.' Disney's version of `Sleeping Beauty.' Maleficent is the best villain Disney has ever created."

-- "My favorite animated movie was `Fantasia.'

-- "My all time favorite for an animated movie is `Jungle Book.' At 58 years old, I can still sing all the words."

-- "My personal favorite is `Hunchback of Notre Dame.' Lots of my friends think I'm weird for saying that but I think the animation is just superb. I've always wanted to be a Disney animator, so I've learned to appreciate animation. But the animation blew me away! The voices were well cast. It had a good story line but I think some little kids had problems with understanding it. I thought it was very sophisticated and it was well done so people of all ages could enjoy it."

-- "Hands down, the best animated movie is `Fantasia,' by Disney!"

-- "It's `Cinderella!' It's been `Cinderella' since I was 5e years old. I just love those little mice singing `Cinderelly, Cinderelly.' "

-- "I want to rant about `Starship Troopers.' It was nothing but a big gore fest. Bugs getting shot up and everything else. The one funny thing about it was, at the Northgate Cinema, the whole audience yelled `Hey, it's Doogie,' when Neal Patrick Harris showed on the screen. Other than that, don't waste your money."

-- "I am calling about the `Mr. Bean' movie. I think it should be called Mr. Bean Goes Hollywood. I can't believe what they've done to the the wonderful character and premise that was on TV for so many years that I just loved to go see. I went to see this Hollywood simplification that took out all the subtlety, all the interest, all the magic and pathos that was in the TV character and just simplified it into a piece of garbage . . . It was really a disappointment."
