>>>>Did you ever see the one where he is driving, falls asleep, and the car becomes a bed? Very funny.

>>>Love that one! A classic of animation. And I've seen the one where he enters the 3-D world, actually IN 3-D, at an iMax cinema (movie theatre - theater) - out of this world (or rather out of HIS world and more In OURS, if you get my drift)

>>A classic of animation? I take it you're too young to remember real animation. I imagine you grew up on the crippled animation created by Hanna and Barbera when they left the studios and went out on their own with such abominable animations as Huckleberry Hound.

>Yes I did grow up with Yogi, Mr Jinx & Pixie & Dixie, etc. and I hated the animation of HB (remember the Lone Ranger?) My kids love Scooby-Doo but I could NEVER get into that even as a kid. I'm referring more to the imagination of the scene - rather than its technical achievement.

>>Ok, I guess in relation to Yogi Bear, the Simpsons is good animation, but in relation to Pinnocchio? Puhleeeese! A classic of animation - ptooey! Double ptooey!

>Which Pinnocchio - the Disney? Of course most Disneys are brilliant (or WERE) but we're talking a whole different ball-game here to do with time-scales and budget - and, indeed NEED. I absolutely love animation - didn't I mention below Wallace & Grommit? - instant classics!

Not really. Good animation is coming back into style - a lot of it computer generated. Finding Nemo, Shrek, Chicken Run etc. The Simpsons as animation? Again, puhleeeeese!
