The first movie I can remember seeing in theaters was Land Before Time and I would of been 5 years old.



Toy Story 2, for sure. Maybe Tarzan, but that's a little fuzzy. It would've been earlier in 1999, and I can't remember. If I was ever brought when I was under 2 and a half, I can't remember.

Snow White. The animated Disney film. For a log time Disney refused to release it on VHS so they still only showed it in a theatre.

Pokemon the Movie - Mewtwo strikes back
was my first movie I ever watched in a theater.
I still have my promotional pikachu card, with that awesome thunderbolt and charge attack which I always included in my Dark Raichu deck.



Nintendo Switch:

... announced as a Home Console

... advertised as a Hybrid

I believe it was The Never Ending Story. I don't have much memory of seeing the movie. But, I recall that my dad took me to an amazing place called The International House of Pancakes before the movie. The thought of going to an important pancake restaurant was huge, and has stuck with me for 36 years since.



I think it was Lion King.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

1993, I take it? Or even earlier than that? Yup, Snow White was the final untouchable to be released on home video. That is unless you count Oliver & Company and The Black Cauldron as untouchables. Fantasia was a hold-out for a while as well, not intended to be released on home video. It had a 50th anniversary re-release in 1990, then a limited-run video release in late 1991.
