Pet of the Week(Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Good morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR.

Got your host, James J. I am joined by Seth Habhacker, good morning, and the best listeners

and radio.

Thanks for joining us, everybody.

We appreciate the company.

Seth and I are going to get in some entertainment news in a little bit.

We've got a couple of new movies being made that we're going to talk about.

We've also got some local theater we'll get into, and before the end of the show, we'll

get into the all the Pixar movies ranked.

All right.

That's a little bit cool.

But we kick off every Thursday where there are friends from the South of County

Maine Society in our pet of the week.

We're going to talk with them in a second.

I do want to shout out Lou Ann Goats.

She is your local Wisconsin Rapids Medicare Specialist.

I'll tell you how you can get in touch with Lou Ann before we wrap up the segment.

But we want to start with Tim and Tim.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Yes.

Good morning, gentlemen.

It's always good to have you with us, man.

Appreciate you.

I want to get to our pet of the week and some other details in a moment.

But you had somewhere else you wanted us to start today.

And we do ask for a listener discretion with this topic here, this conversation.

Correct.

Yes.

Recently, and I've talked about this before, but I'm going to do it again because of this

case.

I'm going to try to keep it toned down a little bit, but it is disturbing.

Actually we had an attack, so to speak, two dogs went after a neighbor's two small dogs.

And actually they killed one of the dogs.

And the other dog was hurt so bad that it had to be euthanized.

And the small dogs owner tried to intervene, got bit also.

So I guess the humane officer was there to police, the usual.

So the point here is a couple.

Is that any animal, a dog, whatever, especially dogs can bite and can do things because they

are animals.

And you don't know what's going to happen.

So the other part of it is the dogs have no rabies shots.

So that's kind of more where I'm going.

The statute in Wisconsin is 95.21 for rabies control.

Now I know rabies is not prevalent, but it's something you don't want to spread.

That's why we have this law to prevent it.

And the shots are only $30, $35.

Now that is not unreasonable.

And that's over a three year period.

So if you can't afford that, you should not have a dog.

Right.

Exactly that.

Yeah.

No, that's legit.

I think that's fair.

And so now here's what happens as I went through this once before.

So each of the two dogs have to be quarantined for 10 days.

The county sets the fee, which I'm still going to determine, I think it's per animal.

So that's $300 in animal.

So it's going to cost somebody $600, plus they have to have three checks by a veterinarian.

So now that you figure that costs.

And you have to get the shot in the end.

Yep.

So I could have avoided this whole thing by just getting a shot.

So please, listeners, just do the right thing and get the vaccination for your dogs.

There's a million examples that we have in society, but I think you don't have to look

far.

They've been sick, freed and roy to understand that those were to whether you like them

or not or whatever you think about those guys.

Those guys were incredibly intelligent with animals and know those new those tigers,

better than anybody in the world.

And had them trained, those tigers were familiar with them.

They slept with those tigers, et cetera, and stuff.

And then what happened, eventually that tiger turned on them.

Yep.

Eventually they had an accident.

It was shocked.

And we're talking about a professional tiger, a tiger that had been used to sound, used

to environments and everything, and at the moment of impact, it acted like an animal.

After all that training, after decades of work and all those things, that's what happened.

And that's just, and that's a, those are trained professionals.

We're talking about a dog.

We're talking about an animal that it lives, it doesn't think like we do.

It's an instinctual animal.

You always have to be aware of that.

You always have to be careful of that.

And by that, I mean you have to have your dog on a leash, you have to have your dog,

you know, especially if you know you have an aggressive dog, you have to keep it from

other dogs and do your part.

We want more and more of, I would like every household to have an animal.

I genuinely would.

I think that every household could use an animal.

One type or another, I'm not talking just cat or dog, I mean a hamster, whatever kind.

But I, with a, with some, you know, care, you don't just get to have a dog.

It's not a birthright, it's a privilege.

These animals are a privilege and whether it is, you know, being able to afford the animal

like you said, Tim, or keeping track of the animal, keeping it in your yard, I understand

that these things happen, but they don't have to happen.

Right.

They, this is a tragedy that could have been avoided.

Right.

And I don't want to scare people off to say, well, don't get it out because the, you know,

a dog can turn on you and, right, the incidents are very, very, very rare.

Yes.

Okay.

I, I meant more so with the dog turning on another dog.

I, yeah, in a person, not necessarily so much that, although that can happen, you know,

extreme circumstances.

But I just don't want to, sure, yeah, put it out there because then, obviously, we

wouldn't adopt anything.

Right.

Exactly.

Yeah.

It's a very tough business model.

That's very, yeah.

Right.

Well, and what, what we get at the main site, a lot are strays.

So, yeah, a stray is a dog at large.

We have no background.

Yeah.

Most of the thing we cannot tell an age, we cannot tell, yeah, you know, and it's by trial

and error.

And we actually have a third dog out there now for quarantine, it's a small dog.

Very nice thing, but a bit of two-year-old, no shot to get.

So unfortunately, you know, and the Humane Officer, now, Wood County has their own ordinance

that's whether people care 2.80 or 2.80, I'm sorry.

And that covers what the Humane Officer has to do.

And the Humane Officer has to do this, that's you.

There has to be a quarantine and you have to put, and make sure.

Now, the vet checks on it, honestly, or there's no tests other than basically looking at

the dog.

Yeah.

They can determine that way.

Right.

So, but, you know, it's, how do you get someone out?

Because we at the main site, it cannot touch the animal.

Yeah.

Right.

We have to have the inside outside kennels, and the owner has to come and do it.

So, you know what I mean?

This is, you take time off of work.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And I just have to wonder sometimes for people, is it worth it?

Yeah.

Right.

And it never is.

No.

So, I know that you mentioned kennels and everything.

I did want to ask how the construction is going over at the shelter, how things wrapped

up over there.

You guys still doing some work over there?

Oh, no.

Actually, that was going to be another point here.

All right.

As I don't think I've noted it too much, but we are starting a new building project.

We're remodeling the entire rest of the building.

The dogroom was done.

Right.

Yeah.

And a new septic system.

This is through a generous grant, and people have passed where it's going to be just under

a million dollars of what we're doing.

As you, as you like to say, our good friends from Steve's plumbing, nice, we're out doing

work now.

We're laying in all of the under, you know, for the new laundry area, the pipes, all

the septic, and they're doing all of that.

And we hope to start having the concrete guys come out.

Cool.

It's an exciting, I can't show you on the radio.

That's a hard part.

It's tough.

It's tough, but yeah.

Now, I encourage people to look, you know, if you're going to be putting anything on

your Facebook page or anything like that, that's a good idea.

Check it out.

We'll look out for some pictures of that, I imagine.

Yes.

During construction, we're going to have to interrupt operations a little bit.

Yeah.

So people, I'll be notifying everybody at that.

Sure.

Sure.

We'll give everybody a heads up on it.

And I guess we should do our pet of the week before we close.

Yes.

We should do our pet of the week.

And boy, there are some newer animals that have been added to the list recently that

I encourage people to check out, and they're usually updated quite often.

So whenever we go over these, I would check out the South own county websites, any chance

you get SWCHS.com.

Who is our pet of the week, Tim?

We're going back again to your favorite tick, detail we get.

I don't want to see tick here on day 500 to be honest.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now, tick is also sponsored.

That's right.

I imagine it's a number of times.

Yes.

Yes.

Free.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And I don't know why.

But, and then the last part, I have continued our $50 sale.

Oh.

It was supposedly ended at the end of October, but I think with the, as you noticed, James,

the monopets we have in there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And we're getting a big run again in December next month.

We have at least 40 cats and foster now that we'll be coming to, well, they're kittens,

actually.

They'll be coming to the shelter.

That's, in addition to the, what, 80 or so we have now.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're, we're taking care of close to somewhere between 125, 150 animals at this

time.

Honestly, I'm not sure.

There's so many out there.

Right.

That tells you right there.

Yeah.

Yes.

And you guys are so good with counts and everything.

If you don't have it at the top of your head, like that tells you right there, there's a lot

of animals there.

And this is why we need the community to reach out and, you know, take, not only take

in these animals and find your new best friend.

But when it comes to the main society and giving to the main society, whether it is investing

in the main society and donations, whether that is goods or money, you know, either or

will be okay.

Well, we'll work.

But it's an investment in your community.

I know the word is donation.

I use the word investment without a human society in your community.

Your taxes are skyrocketing.

These animals aren't going anywhere.

But you're still, your communities are still going to have the same amount of animals

in them, whether you have a main society or not, right?

You just work with the human society.

We have some control over this and that's a loose word I'm using because every human society

in the country is underfunded and doesn't get nearly the support that they deserve.

But the community steps up and that's where I lean in and I lean to on our fellow citizens

out there to help out the human society where you can.

Sometimes it's just needs.

We just heard the amount of cats we have over there.

I don't even have to ask.

We definitely need cat food.

We have wet cat food.

Yes.

It's such a short supply.

A lot of it went down south.

Which we understand.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's something.

They seem to care too.

So, litter is always something that you could use and those kind of things.

Yes.

And certainly volunteering.

There's always a use for volunteering over at the human society.

So encourage people to do that.

Look into ways that you can impact your community and also get to hang out with animals.

Like that's a win-win if you ever ask me.

That's a great one.

Check out Tick.

He is a beautiful, massive mix.

She is a beautiful, massive mix.

Just a beautiful, like one of the better brindle coats I've ever seen.

I'm a sucker for brindle.

That is a beautiful coat right there.

House trained.

Just looking for a new home.

Just looking for a beautiful home.

And free.

And free.

No, no cost.

Yeah.

You can't beat me.

Well, cost to get.

Right.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Of course.

There's a lot of these wonderful animals on here.

I keep looking at these.

I cannot stop.

I don't know how I ever get through this side of it either.

Honestly.

I keep looking at squirrel.

I do the squirrel with squirrel.

I do that.

Yeah.

Can you tell the eyes?

It's the eyes.

Yeah.

The eyes on squirrel.

Beautiful.

Beautiful dog.

There's nothing but beautiful animals over there.

Your new best friend is waiting for you over at the South of County Humane Society.

Encourage you to head on over there.

Set the knob and I'll be back with more show coming up on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show at WFHR.

All right, now we got the temptations, so I don't know.

It's hard.

It's tough.

Yeah, I mean, that's a great backup band too, man.

Telling you.

Temptations, foretops, spinners.

I mean, I don't know.

Platters.

There's so many.

The OJs.

Yeah, I'm telling you.

I don't know how you picked the best art.

Ruth, when did fire?

Come on.

It's just too tough.

It's too tough.

It's got a lot of stuff.

Especially in the 70s, man.

It was such a great time.

Really?

It's just got to enjoy a ball, I guess.

I want to get into a little bit of entertainment news with your Seth as we dive into this one

and get you ready for our news break.

John Stabos was driven to success at a young age by a bully.

John was a nerdy kid in junior high in high school, which may be hard for some people

to imagine.

I got it.

But that feathered hair didn't just come right up, you know.

So with his high, I see it was, he said it was part of his hobbies, quote, not chick-magnet

type things, like magic and puppets and marching band stuff, like that's what he was

into.

And nothing wrong with that.

Graduation approach, he started blossoming into the John Stabos that we kind of know him

as now today.

And one day, he found out that the hottest girl in school was into him.

So he started blabbing to people at a party and it got back to the girl's boyfriend.

Oh, dear.

Who proceeded to punch him in the face and give him a black eye.

Oh, no.

And from that moment on, John was determined to be a star.

It quote, I don't know, quote, to this day, each milestone in my career, I remember

thinking like, I'm going to show him, I'm going to get on TV and then I'm going to have

bodyguards.

And I'll be playing with the beach boys and I think he was exactly he was going along

with that.

Yeah, that's pretty funny.

He's a pretty self deprecated guy.

He is.

He's quite, he's he's actually a fun interview.

He is actually quite clever and fun, so very, I actually am a little more like as whenever

his name comes up, every once in a while, I think, well, I always thought he would be

bigger.

He has, he's had a very nice, oh, he has, and a pretty big name as it is, but I kind

of thought that once full house wrapped up, he was going to go into movies.

I thought he was going to transition or at the very least get like a TV show or they're

going to spin off Uncle Jesse's show or something like that.

Why didn't they do that?

I don't know why, why, why didn't you do that?

Something he was just ready made, right?

Perfectly made, perfectly designed, especially back then where spin-offs were so common.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know why that never happened.

So, so quote, I'm going to invite him to a concert and in the middle of my drum solo,

I'm going to go get him boys and they're going to get him.

Like the beach boys, he's talking about, the beach boys are going to come by after this

kit.

Yeah, they're noticed, you know, those, those hooligans, the beach boys.

Yes, everybody knows the rough, yeah, those matching stretch shirts, man, they're so intimidating.

The beach boys on the Rolling Stones, both known for destroying hotel ropes.

John even wanted to dedicate his recent memoir to the guy, but his publishers wouldn't

let him.

He said, quote, I was going to call him a couple names, but they said that that would be a

good idea.

No, no.

Come on, John, your success is good enough.

You don't need to do that.

Now, it's, this is that I was actually talking with this with an old friend over the weekend

about this where there are certain people that they have a chip on their shoulder, but

there's a difference of people that put the chip there and people that have it there

that it just grows.

Yeah.

Michael Jordan is an example of a guy who had a chip grow on his shoulder.

He was short and junior high in high school and didn't have a lot of breaks in sports and

a kid beat him out for the JV team and it drove him and it drove him to this day.

It drives him like that same kid.

This is the kid that he invited to his Hall of Fame speech and everything, Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers can actually be a pretty laid back guy at times in conversation.

You see him on the Mac if you show all the time, but you bring up Aaron Rodgers height.

He will immediately shut down.

I don't care who it is.

If Mac if he asked him about his height, he would just immediately lock off.

No, no, I'm six-one, and then there are other people that will put a chip there and kind

of get motivated through those things.

It's not surprising that when you hear from successful people, for every person that

was like, well, I worked really hard, I practiced, I trained, and I got to this position.

Other people, yeah, this guy did this to me and I was going to show him the way that

thing, the motivation and where motivation comes from, I laugh at motivation like speakers

and stuff like that.

Motivational speakers, yeah.

Every individual is different, like everybody's different, and so everybody has to look

at their own ways to get motivated.

Right, and it may seem petty to us, but hey, whatever works, I guess, John Stamos, Michael

Jordan, I mean, it doesn't matter.

It worked for him.

It doesn't work for me.

Yeah.

But at the same time, I'm not, you know, I mean, you're not one of those people, yeah.

They have finally done it, I think, Seth, I think they have finally done it.

I think they have finally figured out a way to make a movie about everything.

Oh, geez.

Does anybody remember, oh, of course you remember, does everybody remember the viewmasters?

Oh, absolutely.

I still have one.

They've been around since 1939, and somebody is getting to make a movie about them.

What?

Mattel is teaming up with Sony for what they're calling a, quote, a four-quadrant family

adventure.

Don't know what that means.

What does that mean?

It will be a live-action movie.

Oh, okay.

Mattel says, quote, viewmaster has inspired generations to embark on boundless adventures,

offering a treasure trove of storytelling possibilities for the film.

Okay.

I'm true.

Does it make a movie?

I don't know about that.

I think it would be hilarious if the whole movie is just you watching somebody lose.

You're looking through a view, but you're not even seeing what they're seeing.

No, you're just watching them.

You're just watching them.

I'm like, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Like flipping, like trying to, did you ever do that?

My sister used to do this all the time, where she would be looking through the viewmaster

and try to change it while she was still watching.

Right.

Well, we know James that Hollywood will never, ever do a stationary camera again.

Yes, yeah.

After what happened with here, not a box office success.

Nope.

They're never doing that again.

Never doing that one again.

Nope.

Nope.

That's a good idea.

Yeah.

But I also think that's a good idea to release straight to video, like our streaming or something.

Yeah.

What world do you think that's going to do well in box office, because I don't know in

this day and age?

Even much more.

I'd be much more inclined to lean towards straight to streaming than I would in this day

and age.

That's not a death kiss anymore.

No, it's not.

You can build an audience.

You can build a, you can build an Oscar run.

Like you can do.

The movies that are released on Netflix and Apple and everything, they're getting award

credit.

So, why not?

A movie like that would have been, like imagine how much better it would do box like, you

know, marketing wise that way too.

I don't know what this one is, but I want to be a part of it just so I can know what the

heck the script is.

I just want to know what the script is.

I just, I don't see it.

I don't see it.

Well, I think this is already like, it doesn't take a lot of imagination.

Family looks through a view master and gets sucked in.

Yeah.

Right.

It's Jumanji.

It's Jumanji.

It's Jumanji.

That's exactly what popped into my head.

That's what happened.

I think Mattel is a money.

I want Mattel.

I think Mattel is a systemic power hungry now.

They're a little crazy after all the Barbie money.

Yeah.

They got a little crazy out there.

I think they can do anything now.

I might want to look at battleship.

Might want to look at how that was.

It's box office once.

Remember.

Almost kill every battle. Warehouse acting career.

It's remember battleship.

Remember remember.

I guess it's just going to go there.

They got the guy Fox, they were a battleship.

And wrapping up our big entertainment story before we go local a little bit.

I saw this and I could not wait to talk to you about it Seth and our listeners.

Eddie Murphy has signed on to play George Clinton in a new biopic about Parliament, Funkadelic

legend.

Variety is important.

Wow.

The casting that was rumored for two years has now officially been set.

All right.

Eddie Murphy is going to play George Clinton.

Wow.

My God.

That feels good.

The untitled project from Amazon is currently being written by Virgil Williams, who were the

original draft by Max Werner.

It's based on George Clinton's memoir, brothers be yo like George ain't that funky.

The single handily greatest memoir title ever.

Yes.

I'm loving anything to do with George Clinton.

First of all, Parliament, Funkadelic, I mean, one of the great groups, I mean, it's not

even like a band.

It's like an ensemble.

So many people are a part of it that come and go and their stage shows had like 40 people

on stage with dancers and all kinds of stuff going on.

I mean, it was like controlled chaos.

And by the way, they might need subtitles.

George Clinton, a language, all his own, he would invent words.

Yes.

And if you've ever seen an interview with him, it's like, wait, what did he say?

George Clinton on late night with David Letterman, go check it out.

You will know exactly what Seth is talking about.

I knew Parliament.

I didn't know much about George Clinton until that interview.

Wow.

I've been a fan ever since.

I love P Funk.

I love Parliament.

Yeah, me too.

And I'm a fan of Bill Condon too.

He directed Eddie Murphy in an Oscar nomination and dream girls.

He's directing this.

Bill Condon.

Also, he's done biopics before.

He did Gods and Monsters about James Whale, a very good director and writer.

And who's supposed to get about Ben Kingsley's performance in that?

Yeah.

I believe you want an Oscar for that.

Ben Kingsley.

He did.

I know he was nominated, man.

Yeah, he probably was.

He's the only one for Gandhi.

That's right.

That's right.

This will be good.

I say this so rare.

I am so hesitant to say this on things.

I cannot imagine this being bad.

I just cannot even wrap my mind around the idea of it's not going to be good.

And I think every once in a while it's a good idea to remind everybody.

Eddie Murphy is a five-tool player.

Eddie Murphy can do it all, like literally everything.

And he has not had an opportunity to drum a very often in his career.

But when he has, man, is he hit the mark?

Yeah.

I love that him and Amazon have teamed up very similar to Adam Sandler and Netflix

teaming up.

Right.

It is a throwback to Hollywood of old where I'm going to sign Bert Lancaster to a five-picture

deal.

Right.

Those kind of things.

Yeah.

We're back to that now.

Fascinating, isn't it?

So interesting.

What's different now?

So, one of the things that it took a lot of like the younger actors of those generations

like the Paul Newman's and stuff to be like, well, I want to see it at the table.

So not only do I want the five-picture deal, but I'm going to be an EP on these, an executive

producer on these.

Right.

Now with Amazon and Netflix and these things, it's already written into the contract.

Yeah.

Like, you're not Netflix ain't doing anything without Adam Sandler's, you know, final

consent.

Right.

Exactly.

And the same thing with Amazon and Eddie Murphy.

And it's really smart by these businesses.

Yeah.

I don't say that very often with Netflix, but it's a smart move by them and a very smart

move by Amazon.

Yeah.

And in the end, actually, it saves the money.

When you sign a multi-picture contract, it almost always saves the studio money.

It sounds insane, but like by this time next year, the Packers will have a deal with Jordan

Love.

Like, that'll be a steal what they have.

Yeah.

The same thing with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, like, it just, that's the way this

stuff works.

It's true.

It's the same thing with the actors and their salaries and things.

Or how much budgets for movies cost or anything like that.

Ah, man, that looks really cool.

They have to look out for that one.

They're still casting and perfect and getting the script set.

Yeah.

It's going to be a while.

There is going to be a like in like three, four years, there's going to be like some

really cool musician biopixing.

We got the Beatles movies coming up towards the end of the decade.

We got the George Clinton.

I'm telling ya.

Do want to remind everybody to go to wrct.org and get your tickets for White Christmas.

And I know over there, get those tickets for White Christmas.

It's premiering on December 5th right around the corner, everybody.

We got word from Gretchen yesterday.

Tickets are starting to go.

So get them now, everybody.

Come see Beth and I in hate mail directed by the great Seth Habhager.

Me.

We, this is, we will be at just sales at some time.

I don't even have to say any.

Me.

It is directed by one of my favorite personalities in TV history and Bill Corbert.

Yes.

One of the writers.

Yep.

One of the writers of it.

And Beth and Seth and I have been working hard on this one.

Come see us on November 15th and 16th, seven o'clock shows that's the Louis Canton studio.

Yeah, that will be fun.

And keep in mind that theater is going to be hosting another great show coming up, us

and us them.

Mm-hmm.

A staged reading featuring Michael Egrin and Ken Pilo.

Ooh.

This is going to be going on on November 9th at seven o'clock in that theater.

This is written by our good friend Michael Egrin.

Yes.

I mean, if it's written, I have not seen the script.

Mm-hmm.

But I will tell you right now, if Mike wrote it, it's good.

He, we've had, especially over in Steven's point, they have done several of his shows throughout

the years.

He is a very talented playwright.

And this is, if I remember correctly, a staged reading is done for like copyright purposes

in general.

I think.

Yeah.

But anyway, it's still very cool.

Just to be a part of something like that is really neat.

Yeah.

Ken's a great actor.

Ken does a great job.

Mike is one of the better performers I've worked with.

Yep.

I've always wanted to do a show of his that he's written.

I have no doubt that's going to be good.

Get your tickets and make your plans to see us, them, hate mail, and of course, uh, white

Christmas and all these coming up for you with Wisconsin Rapps Community Theater.

Get your tickets at WRC Theater.org and be sure to follow them on social media.

Yeah.

We'll be back with more show right here at the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

I think show at WFHR, locally grown radio, Seth and James hanging out with you.

We hope you're having a fantastic one out there, buddy.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Yes, indeed.

We've got an interesting one here.

And one of the things that I've been, uh, I've had a lot of conversations with a lot

of old students the last week, the last couple of days, and one of the common things that

keeps coming up is palate cleansers, looking for things that kind of just unwind, and just

going out a little bit, don't have to necessarily think about anything too important.

Right.

And my breathing, okay, good.

I just going to keep on, you know, shoving my favorite cat, you know, food is food in my

face or whatever and watching some entertainment.

Yep.

So do you, but do you have a favorite go to movie?

Do you have a favorite as far as the movies go, and especially when it comes to Pixar

movies?

Yeah.

Yeah.

See, see how it ranks among the all the 27.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, tomato meter scores, this is the ranking of the Pixar movies.

Okay.

And this kind of interesting.

Okay.

Let's do it.

So while there's a lot of Pixar movies, there's 27, I mean, we're going to burn through

these.

Yeah, we'll go quick.

Yeah.

We're not going to dissect every single one of them already think, but we will go through

them.

And most importantly, we want audience participation.

Please, please, please.

What is your favorite Pixar movie?

715-424-2600.

It's a touch or two away on the Civic Media app.

Coming in at number 27, Cars 2 with 39%.

Okay.

Cars 3 is ahead of it at 69%.

Oh, interesting.

Okay.

It's funny to me when the sequels are bigger than, you know, yeah, right.

Elemental at number 25 at 73%.

Okay.

That's a good one.

I like that one too.

I like that one too.

Pretty good.

Yeah.

Lightyear.

74% from 2022.

That was the one with the back story.

Yeah, the prequel.

I guess you would call it.

That one, I really liked.

Oh, yeah.

I thought it was different.

And I thought it was really kind of cool the way they did that.

Yeah.

Wasn't that one a little bit more skewed towards like mid-teen kind of thing?

Yeah.

Because of kind of, they did like a time travel kind of sort of thing with it.

It was really interesting.

The plot was kind of cool.

Yeah.

It seemed to be a little bit more.

Yeah.

A little older.

It didn't do bad.

No, I don't think it did.

Cars comes in at number three.

Number 23.

I'm sorry.

It was 75% from 2006.

That's a good one.

Yeah.

The good dinosaur from 2015.

75% on that one.

Wow.

That one's higher than I thought it would be.

I mean, again, that was not a bad movie.

But I think there'd be some of those other ones that we talked about would be a little higher

than that.

Brave comes in at 79%.

I haven't seen it yet.

I haven't either.

I haven't seen that one.

Monsters University comes in at 80%.

Oh, so there's another sequel there.

Yeah.

Onward.

At number 19 at 88%.

I like that one.

But it's so geeky.

That's why I like it.

That's part of it.

It's Luca for a number 18 and 91%.

Night.

Interesting.

Yeah.

That is an interesting one.

I was forgot about this one at number 17.

A bug's life from 1998.

Wow.

That was one of the early ones.

Because was it the one right after a toy story?

I think it might have been.

I think so.

Yeah.

Didn't it come out right when the ant movie came out too?

They came out at almost exactly the same time, if I remember correctly.

Yeah.

I remember I was disappointed because I never saw this movie, but I wanted it to do well

because Dave Foley started this.

Yes.

I had to double check.

Yes.

He did a great job.

I had such a big fan of Dave Foley.

Yeah.

I wanted it to do well.

I think it did okay.

It did.

It did fine.

No, it was good.

It was good.

Incredibles 2 comes in at number 16 at 93%.

Fun.

That's a good one.

Number 15, Finding Dory at 94%.

Okay.

It's equal to Finding Neemovies.

Yep.

And number 14, Wally.

Yep.

And number 13, Turning Red.

That one I've not seen yet.

This one, I'm a little surprised as this low on the list, Soul at number 12.

Really?

Wow.

That was good.

It was Oscar nominated.

Yeah.

It was.

That one was really interesting.

That was a really cool movie.

They put a lot into that movie too.

They sure did.

Like all these movie took years and years to make.

Yes, they do.

That one took a little bit longer from what I understand.

And it has one of the more interesting ambiguous endings.

That Pixar usually doesn't do that, but this one wasn't very ambiguous ending.

And number 11, and way too low on the list, Monstersing.

96% for that one.

Oh, man.

God, I love that movie.

It's a fun movie.

That is a super fun movie.

It's honestly of all these movies, I think it's the most interesting concept.

Yep.

The idea.

And it's one of the most relatable.

Pixar movies really lean into relatability.

Yes.

And I think that's great.

Yep.

It's also a really smart idea when you're trying to, how do I hit, you know, get something that kids are going to like, but parents will want their kid, you know, will be okay with too.

As well.

And for a long time, Disney tried to do that by inserting like kind of adult humor and some ways and stuff.

And it worked sometimes.

It didn't work other times.

Pissar kind of saw this.

And they did something really interesting.

They had parents working on these projects.

Yes.

Like they specifically, like they wouldn't just hire somebody because they were parent.

But they made sure to have parents working on these early films.

Yep.

And they knew a little bit more what they were talking about.

Right. Right.

Not only for kids, their kids, they can, they can draw upon.

But what do they want to watch?

You know, what would they like to watch with their kids?

Disney for decades has said to Tennessee that, okay, who's the best animators in college?

We're going to get to them early and we're going to grim right out of college.

Yep.

And it leads to some great animation, some great ideas.

But it also leads to people who don't have kids yet.

Right.

And when your market is kids, it makes it a little tougher, right, to relate to that.

Yeah.

At number nine, or I'm sorry, at number 10, Ratatouille.

Oh, that's a good one.

That's a classic.

That movie holds up.

Not just the acting and all that.

I mean, Pat Naswell is fantastic.

You and I love Pat.

But it's the animation in that one.

The Ratatouille came out in 2007.

Not that long ago, but long enough in animation-wise.

Which is almost like a generation.

Yeah.

My eyes will be talking about the 50s and so forth.

But it still holds up.

Yeah.

So great animation.

The Incredibles at number nine, 97%.

That is such a clever film.

You know, it has one of my favorite talents in the animation business right now,

who directed that Brad Bird, who got his, who was actually, we have to give him a lot of credit.

He only worked on it for the first season, but he was one of the driving forces that created the Simpson.

And he was one of the, I mean, we cannot, if you're a Simpson's fan,

you cannot thank him enough for what he did to get that time right now to thank him again.

Yeah.

And what he's done since, I mean, he's a couple of really good Pixar movies.

I mean, he's just very talented.

Matt Graning said when he left the Simpson's, we lost somebody here.

Yeah.

But the entertainment industry gained because he was going to get to go and do his own things

since like the Incredibles, which is such a fun movie.

Hey, where's my super suit?

Where is my super suit?

Got to love that one.

It's affordable, but we just have a great line.

Samuel Jackson.

I have a great team now.

Yeah, both of them.

Bonnie Hunt.

And Bonnie.

Oh, great, Bonnie Hunt.

Yeah.

Coco comes in at number eight from 2017.

We're getting into the ones now that people, you know,

like where in the Pixar movie did you start crying?

Basically, I think all of them now are going to have like a moment like that.

Number seven, Toy Story 4.

97 percent.

There you go.

Up at 98 percent.

That's at the beginning.

You cry at the beginning.

I cry hard at the beginning, man.

You're lucky to get even know what happens now because your ears, your eyes are so watered up.

It's almost a cruel way to begin it.

And you know, you know going into these movies.

Okay, something, you know, there's going to be a moment there.

There's mom is going.

Yeah, right.

Something like that's going to happen.

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

Yeah, Toy Story 3.

Up then Toy Story 3.

And number five.

Okay.

Which one is the Toy Story everybody dislikes the ending?

Like, is it Toy Story 3 or Toy Story 4?

I think it's 3.

I can't remember, but it might be 3.

I'm trying to say this without spoiling it, you know.

But yeah, nobody liked the ending of Toy Story 3.

Nobody did.

Inside out comes in at number four.

That's not surprising.

Number three, finding Nemo.

99 percent.

Almost 100 percent.

Yep.

And that is a classic.

Yes.

And at number two and one.

And number two, Toy Story from 1995 at 100 percent.

Yep.

And Toy Story 2 from 1999 at 100 percent.

I agree.

So number one and number two, Toy Story 2 and then Toy Story.

I agree that Toy Story 2 is probably the better movie of the two.

But Toy Story, I mean you have to give it its place.

That was the first one.

The original Toy Story 1995.

Okay, go back and watch it.

And yeah, you can see the animation.

How far it's come since then.

But I mean, I talk about hitting the ground running.

I mean, they just exploded onto the scene.

And they have not let up since.

It's one of the greater concepts and one of the greater ideas.

And that's one thing on paper, but they pulled it off.

They did.

They made it work on the screen as well.

Yeah.

They landing the voice actors that they did at that time too

was not, was not worthy.

Tom Hanks didn't do a lot of voice acting.

Not in the 90s, no.

And at the time Tim Allen wasn't necessarily somebody that was fan friendly.

No, he had had some incidents here and there and everything.

And he had his TV show, but he wasn't, he wasn't Tom Hanks star.

No, he wasn't.

And it kind of, it propelled him on a whole different level.
