Waltz with Bashir/YMMV


 * Animation Age Ghetto: The director had a great deal of difficulty getting funding for a serious documentary about a massacre that is also animated.
 * Anticlimax:
 * Award Snub: It lost the Best Animated Feature nomination to Bolt and Kung Fu Panda, apparently because it's a documentary (or not suitable for children, but we're sure the Academy is above such immature reasoning). The fact that it's animated ALSO disqualifies it from Best Documentary. However it did get a Best Foreign Language Film nomination.
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The German porn video probably qualifies as one of these, as it is animated in loving detail and leaves nothing to the imagination.
 * Complete Monster: The Phalangists in Sabra and Shatila...special mention goes to the ones who carved crosses into their living victims and slaughtered entire Palestinian families in front of the Israeli soldiers. And laughed about it.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: The eponymous "Waltzing with Bashir" scene. Damn...
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The Haunted Ocean
 * Nightmare Fuel: Most of the movie. The first scene with the monstrous dogs is an example, but by far the most disturbing instance is the "slaughterhouse", a place where the Phalangists interrogated Palestinian suspects, executed them and collected body parts as trophies. The whole scene looks like a terrifying bad acid trip.
