Is this the first time a children's movie won the Best Movie Oscar?

[Brucey]

Did a Disney film win once, or is this the first time a film aimed at children won the top award?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. Yeah, yeah. Very funny. LOTR is no more or less childish than most

of the films to win best movie.

2. Kiddy flick? You don't know the meaning

of "kiddy flick" if you think LoTR belongs in that category. :crazy:

Mary Poppins was also pic of the year.

I think also Beauty and the Beast, but not certain.

ARe you saying LoTR is kids' stuff?

[hackwriter]

3. If you're referring to THE RETURN OF THE KING....

...it's hardly a "children's film."

4. Hello, My Name Is Inigo Montoya.

You dissed LOTR. Prepare To Die.

5. LOTR for kids?

Anyone who thinks LOTR is a kid's movie, obviously hasn't seen it.

6. I dunno, but a few years ago, I was really pissed

because Babe didn't beat out Braveheart.

They both came out in the same year, Braveheart was just another formula flic, while Babe was really original.

7. That was the same year "Pulp Fiction" was nominated...

I was really pissed Pulp Fiction didn't win...Babe too...BUT, I hadn't seen Braveheart, and once I did, I didn't mind that it won (I really liked it).

11. actually, no-

I'm 99% sure that Pulp (awesome) was nominated in '94, along with Quiz Show (brilliant) Shawshank (masterpiece) 4 Weddings and a Funeral (not too bad) and the actual winner, Forest Gump (piece of shit advocating the life plan of doing exactly what you're told all the time.)

It was quite a year.

8. I wouldn't call a movie rated PG-13 a "Kiddie Flick"

Too much violence and the plot can be difficult for younger kids to understand or follow. Just because it's rated PG-13 doesn't make it a kiddie flick, just means that it could be too much for kids under 13 to handle.

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

9. I agree. Take the kiddies to a family

movie such as “The Passion of the Christ”

:P

10. My Cousin and his wife did the shading on Finding Nemo.

[mitchum]

12. HAHAHA

nice one, Brucey :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I can't believe all the people who automatically assumed you meant LOTR

I assumed you meant Nemo, especially since you mentioned Disney.

Sheesh. Paranoid people.
