Welcome to Nuggets of Nerddom, the new side-series where animation runs deep, memories run wild, and no mouse ears are allowed! In this bonus bite from the Fantasy Draft Lineup, we’re joined by The Cuz himself—Michal from Polymuse—to crack open a deceptively simple prompt:
What are your top three non-Disney animated films?
(Easy, right? Wrong!)

From Don Bluth bangers to forgotten VHS fever dreams, we tumble down a nostalgia spiral of space whales, cigar-chomping aliens, and penguins that actually surf! Shrek is debated! Space Jam is defended! Hoodwinked steals the show! And yes, Transformers: The Movie is revered like the legendary masterpiece it is!

This episode includes:

• 3 hosts
• 1 Cuz
• 0 Disney movies (Pixar counts!)
• 47 honorable mentions
• A shocking lack of Watership Down trauma until the final act

Come for the lists, stay for the chaos, and don’t forget: Fantastic Planet is not Forbidden Planet, and you should be watching Flight of Dragons!
It’s all happening on the only podcast brave enough to say, “No thank you, Donkey,” and ride a Beta-tape into battle!

🎙️ Featuring:

• Debates over whether Cool World is legal
• Praise for Rankin-Bass deep cuts
• Rage against Polar Express
• Murky and Lurky slander

Listen! Rank! Argue!🎨🧠🍟
