Treasure Planet is really one of those special animated films. Personally, it's behind only Atlantis: The Lost Empire in my list of favorite animated films, and comes from that underappreciated period of animation that includes such gems like Road to El Dorado, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, Emperor's New Groove, Titan AE, and others! What makes Treasure Planet so good? 1. Characters! Every major character has a story to tell, and goes through some significant growth. A lot of the personal battles aren't only related to the plot; there's a lot of growing up that Jim Hawkins has to do (especially in the face of his dead-beat dad leaving him), and thanks to those around him, he does JUST that. It's not an easy road, but he becomes a man by the end. Likewise; Long John Silver and the rest have their own personal battles and growth to reconcile with, and...well, this film just nails it. And what makes the characters shine? 2. Interactions! Every single bit of character interaction feels to heartfelt and genuine. Whether it's Jim with his mother, his growing relationship with Long John Silver, the budding relationship between the scientist and the captain, or heck! Even Jim and the Martin Short robot works! Not all of it is perfect, but it's close! 3. This is a hill I will die on, but when it comes to animation, Treasure Planet has the most GORGEOUS animation of any major animated film from the west. The seamless blending of 2D and 3D animation just gives the characters and world so much life and...I can't say enough. Just beautiful. 4. The film score music is by James Newton Howard. 'Nuff said. 5. Lastly; I just LOVE the setting. I know it received plenty of criticism, but the almost steampunk feeling of the world and the creativity behind space-travel here just fills my heart and imagination with glee. Love it! So yeah; you know my opinion.

I still have one; and there's another in the main living room. We haven't really used them, but considering that many old family movies we have, and that SOME old VHS tapes do not have DVD versions...best to keep them around. XD

What clique were you in, in school? (any level)
Pathfinder replied to Muffinnz's topic in General Discussion
I was a pure loner; never really part of any clique or group. There weren't many gamers in my school, and most were not into the nerdy stuff I was. I had friends, sure, but we didn't hang out much. So yeah; totes loner~ -
As my birthday is in March that would make my birthstone the Aquamarine; and I have no complaints! <3

How many boyfriend/girlfriends have you had?
Pathfinder replied to Reecejackox's topic in General Discussion
I guess technically I've had three previously. Two were during my high school days that didn't last. My first SERIOUS relationship was an online one that started as a friendship on a Spyro forum; WAY back! Our relationship ended after four years with an amicable split. That said; I am currently dating @Bakugou Is My Man ❤ who is really the most precious person in my life. -

Lyrics
I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse...
101 steps, round and round
New Years Eve, one night in the town
Can change one life into eternity...
All I could see, her eyes,
We got caught in the moment, all of the night
Taken beyond all lines,
In silence leaving 'em all behind
She had found the sails, for the following night
The town, for her, was getting way too small
She promised to be mineForever, ... for that one night...
Moments, passion, small defeats
Concealed emotions, found in me
"You gave life to a brand new me..."
Crossing the wintry fields,
The first hour of morning light
Warmed by the flame inside,
The lasting memory of the ending night
I never had a chance to stop what hit me...
What broke my bones and mauled me...
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep... in a cold shelter
Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed...
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light!
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
Oh blood red moon, eat away the night
Darkness covers my lonely soul,No one to feed the dying light...
Good morn', oh dreadful day,
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...
For the sails of night,
"Please tell me everything's alright..."
My voice in the room broke the silence,
Everybody killed me with their eyes...
What I was to hear made the people cry,
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside
"All on board the White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
And you are the light of the night..."
One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground...
Although I never saw the face,
A name was inked in his arm...
Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe
God loves complex irony?
The family name stated I had seen before...
Written on her front door..."Silence in the courthouse!"
A presence in the room, we both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me
All on board the White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
While I was the guide light...
Back in my tower, run, run, run
Light is out, I hope to see
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me
One step will take me back inside, another sees my end
No one can love a man who guarded the light,
(Guarded the light, one faithful night)
Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free
Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past...
Building new walls inside my eternal night...
Although they took my heart and dried me up
Sometimes I still bleed...
Show me the way (show me the way)
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
Too many dead ends I see
No soul can save me
The respect I lost, the measure of a man...
10 000 steps down, round and round
One night at the town and I'm hell bound
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
All on the board White Pearl had died,
Coastal reef come claim my life
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
My little tower, seal my fate
Help me pay back, end their hate
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
One direction, down, down, down
Pitch black night for my old town
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
"I hereby commit the body to the deep,
To be turned into corruption
Looking for the resurrection of the body,
When the Sea shall give up her dead
And the life of the world to come, through our Lord,
Amen." -
This was Christopher Lee narrating LIVE with Rhapsody of Fire some years ago. Amazing stuff!

You never told me you met Kristoff from Frozen!

Any metal song that uses Dvorak's "New World Symphony" is automatically legendary in my book!
