The Little Engine That Could

An animated film from 1991 that is a retelling of the popular story of the same name, but is a lot better than many cartoons in that era. (The music, the characters have names, them in general, the storytelling/humor, etc.)

The 1991 version of The Little Engine That Could is probably the most underrated animated film I've ever seen.

engineering

A hard major that results in a good job in the end. Only problem is that there aren't enough girls in engineering.

We need to encourage more girls to take up engineering so that engineering guys can get laid.
