Animation is the Best

[Content advisory: mildly explicit] Merry wintry holiday of your choosing! Greg's recording all by himself, which is daunting, but he has a new snow friend to help him get through it: the classic British holiday short, The Snowman! This episode's got everything you expect from Animation is the Best: some history, some recap, some analysis, some humor... just less of it! Or maybe it's more concentrated. However you find this, I hope the holidays find you happy and the year finds you new! [Intro: "Skating" - Vince Guaraldi Trio] [Outro: "Walking in the Air" - Nightwish]

[Content advisory: language and sexual content] With this, we celebrate the end of an era. The end of the Disney Renaissance, its tenth film, Tarzan! Amazingly, the first adaptation of the classic story into animation. A visual spectacle, with beautiful character animation and backgrounds, a strong adventure story, and enduring music.
