Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for November 09, 2009

“Tron” IS a classic! This is not open for discussion. Furthermore … only 403 days to the release of “Tron: Legacy”!!!

Yes, I’m stoked.

“I was hopping you could tell me the answer.” Ooopsie!

Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan.

Hopping?

i always ask people to take the casts of the 3 CSI shows and put them in a parellel universe with the 3 LAW&ORDER shows. then,when they are done i ask them about the two erik foremans–(house and the 70’s show)

farren, you forgot Onehundredandonedalmatians.

Animated, at least partially:

Aladdin Bambi Cars Cinderella Dinosaur Dumbo Enchanted Fantasia Hercules Mulan Pocahontas Ratatouille Tarzan Tron Up

Tron is not a classic, it was boring in its day, and I’m sure it will be boring again. High concept, zero execution!

Ah, but do you know the names of the 12 oratorios by Leopold the Unjust that were done between 1637 and 1639? (Not the early ones in the late 1620s.)

Thanks for the fix, Scott. Thanks for the list, TheWildSow. But you did include a bunch of Pixar films.

And didn’t include Pinocchio, which is definitely a classic.

Oops, forgot Pinocchio!

Tron is excellent. Definitely.
