Someone mentioned RATM but no one ever talks about The Nightwatchman. Also Boots Riley and The Coup. Street Sweeper Social Club is a Tom Morello and Boots Riley project. Bad Religion is great also. Greg Graffin has several country albums that are pretty good.

Watching Fern Gully tonight thanks for the reminder! I also loved Don Bluth movies as did many. Was recently reminded of Rock a Roodle and rewatched it during a flood in my area. Similarly strange format, solid place on my heart.

It’s format is different. The characters often speak directly to the audience. Sometimes it’s less story driven and more just explaining what gnomes are like in mythology. I watched a bunch a year or two ago but never finished it all. Loved every minute though, it definitely influenced the human I grew up to be. While I’ve got your attention I also loved whatever the animated borrower’s series was…maybe it was called The Borrower’s? Ghibli later made a movie called The Secret Life of Arriety which was also excellent. Also the Rankin/Bass movie The Flight of Dragons!

David the Gnome!

Christianity made suicide a mortal sin because new adherents kept killing themselves to get to heaven pronto.
