Question about RiffTrax and Riffs on Animated Movies

[Edward J Grug III]

What about riffing on Disney Animated Movies and/or certain Anime-themed movies?

Every Disney riff I can recall, even back to the MST days, involved getting sued. They seem to consider Disney a litigious company.  I wouldn't count on them doing Disney.

Can't sue them for an MP3 riff though.

Having said that, I don't thinkt here are many, or even any?, good choices for riffing in the Disney catalogue. (I don't really enjoy riffs of good movies, and also agree that riffing failed comedies doesn't really work...)

Oh... Maaaybe The Black Cauldren I guess...

In my opinion, Disney doesn't make good movies- at least not since Walt died. Their movies are, without exception, suck burgers, loaded with suck, with a large side order of suck, served on a plate of suck, with a super-size glass of suck. Oh, and suckberry pie for afters.  Now, don't get me wrong, I hate Disney.

Right. But you know there have been what many people would call classics since then, yeah? I don't like some good movies, but I can appreciate that they are good and just not for me.

What do you think would make a good riffing candidate?

From Disney? Nothing.  I haven't watched Pirates, because I can't bring myself to endure it...and I'm referring to the riffed version.  My hated of Disney is an age old hate.  I spent 5 years of my life learning Japanese, just so I could watch animation that isn't Disney or Pixar.  Modern American animation is bottom of the barrel, in my opinion.  I boycott all of it.

Anyway, as far as animated, I dunno, maybe some Little Lulu done as shorts.  Older cartoons might be "riffable."

You have pretty strong opinions on things you haven't seen.

I watched a small amount of the Pirates riff and I couldn't endure it either, but it's because I think it's a poor choice of subject. The movie doesn't take itself seriously at all, so the riff just falls very flat.

I stopped watching them for a reason. But, I still see commercials for their stuff.  I still see bits of  it when visiting family, and so on. So, I am exposed to enough of it to maintain my opinion. 
Ed, it's a long, long story. : )  But, yes, I have an intense dislike of Disney and Pixar.

I know they are top dog, intensely popular.  But, not with me.  Maybe I'm turning into a Grandpa Simpson.

Well, looks like the guys did it.  I stand corrected, reproved and riff-smacked.
