    The Tale of the Princess Kaguya lost to Disney's Big Hero 6 at the Oscars because the Academy believe it was too obscure to win Best Animated Film as well as having a xenophobic bias against it by writing the entire film off as "Chinese fuckin' things".

    DB Super Hero is an incredible movie for many reasons but its funniest effect was that it led to people shipping Piccolo with Pan's teacher. I think he deserves it

    THAT film had a few too many cooks but Dark Hero is purely the project of Steve Wang, a huge Toku fan who would later, with his brother, be massively responsible for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, a series about as accomplished as American Toku could possibly be.

    Obviously, that was incredibly scummy of that person and the academy in general which has thankfully improved in recent years, but personally, regardless of how much you feel Kaguya got snubbed, I think Big Hero 6 is still an underrated film and is unfairly looked down upon just for that reason.

    I saw this movie on TV one afternoon when I was home sick. As a child enamored of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, this was my first exposure to the idea that war was not glamorous, noble, or desirable. It being the Fonz helped drive the point home.
