Who knew that in an alternative universe that PETA and OSHA would unite in the 1800's to protect simian sight!

Around the World in 80 Days certain isn't Oscar material either, but it was kind of bizarre fun and I enjoyed a lot of the artistic steps they took. Plus, it had Cécile De France being all gorgeous, which gives it mega awesome points.

for the record howl's scored an 86% on RT, hardly a 'low note' as you alluded to in your quip about Ponyo. the chan film, just for comparison, scored 30%. given the cultural reaction to both it's hard to say objectively that howl's was weak and 80 days took enjoyable artistic steps. sure, it's just RT but that's a pretty huge discrepancy.

I would wager though that those sensitive Bonobo artists must get all the g2g rubbing they can handle.

They are my favorite animal BY FAR. I saw a special on bonobos on Animal Planet a few years ago and haven't looked back.
and they're effin AWESOME artists too (neo-expressionists, much?)... where do I sign up?
