In my opinion this is the best animated spider-man by a mile. I would have liked to have gotten to hear the different opinions on it. It was very interesting to hear how "old timers" feel about today's shows, and to listen to them talk about the tv shows they watched when they were kids. I love Spectacular Spider-Man.

It's weird to hear people continue to speak so fondly about children's cartoons at a grandparent's age. There's just something about cartoons--nostalgia or recognition of the art?--that just captures us; keeping that inner-child alive.

French audiences were actually rather hostile towards that and the first one. The second film, Asterix meets Cleopatra, on the other hand was very warmly received in France, mainly due to its clever use of French puns that anyone who doesn't speak French, wouldn't understand anyway.

That would not surprise me. I guess it wasn't Asterix until the writing got up to speed.

The latest animated film, Asterix and the Vikings was rather cool too!

Still have to see it.

I certainly don't think the old timers are stuck in the older generation. They actually seemed to be a lot more positive about the the newer stuff than most of us posting in this comments section. Perhaps because none of them had seen Trinity Blood in its entirety. I dare say I'd pick Wing Commander: The Movie, over Trinity Blood were I stuck on a desert island.

I do get that feeling too, they were so positive on a lot of newer stuff I wouldn't care to watch myself.

Today's fandom needs that most of all!

Hopefully you'll guys will meet up with the Old Timers next year if possible, and hopefully we'll get some more perspectives to view too!
