feature animated movies I've seen so far

this one is a short list. the best animated movies I've seen most recently are the computer animated movies Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. Those I enjoyed watching at the movie theatre. They were out the previous years though. Were there no good animated movies in the past year? Nothing as great as them, I guess.

what I've seen so far


I know a certain girlfriend of mine who's going to lose all senses when looking at this pic. You know who you are :p
