Greatest animated film of all time?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

1. OK - what's the Other?

I hate when people do that

[Runcible Spoon]

2. Watership Down...

I'm not sure it's my fav of all time but ti ranks up there and I think it deserves to be mentioned...

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. OOOH - agreed!

And I didn't have space to mention any Rankin Bass films like the Hobbit or the Last Unicorn

[evlbstrd]

Allegro non Troppo

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. No doubt a contender!

:thumbsup:

[LeftyMom]

4. Shouldn't some contemperary Disney movies get nominated?

I think a very good case could be made for Beauty and the Beast or the Lion King for cell animation and for Toy Story and Finding Nemo if CGI counts.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Agreed - you only get 10 slots in a poll

I would say Ghost in the Shell should be there as well as Akira and Aladin!

[Crazy Dave]

6. Other

I hadn't seen many animated films for many years then me and a girlfriend of mine took her daughter to see Disney's Tarzan movie back in the late 90's. I was very impressed with the new animation techniques and how real they looked back then. I'm sure it's improved even more since then but I'll always remember how much I enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack music.

8. I liked Fantasia nt

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. Of course you did - it was amazing!

And that was 1940!

[Misunderestimator]

14. Yep, Fantasia is my choice!

:thumbsup:

[blondeatlast]

25. Yes. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Me too....

And if it was 1940s, it was already a buncha years old when I saw it!

:bounce:

[sakabatou]

10. Akira

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. That is perhaps the finest....

except for Spirited Away :)

[jobycom]

12. Hard to choose over time periods like that, and over styles

Snow White was incredible animation for its day, but it looks childish next to Spirited Away. WIth CGI you have Pixar films that you can't even compare to older animation.

BTW, you left of Tripplets of Bellville, which was a unique animation style that deserves to be on your list--along with a dozen other entries you couldn't fit, I guess! :)

For the record, I voted for Spirited Away, for a combination of stunning animation and a story that could only be told through animation, rather than simply a story that was filmed in animation, like Fireflies or Snow White (Not criticizing either film--both were brilliant--just explaining my own motivations). Also, several Myazaki films could be included, so I'll use Spirited Away for all of them.

[Mz Pip]

13. Fantasia

both the first and the second would make the top of my list.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[WindRavenX]

15. Mononoke Hime

Epic story, but somehow it seems so close to home.
Also, imo, Miyazaki's best designed characters-- epecially the wolves.

[Aristus]

16. How about stop-motion animation?

My pick: The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. A Nightmare Before Christmas is stop-motion

[Aristus]

19. Yeah, I know. I love that movie.

I love that fact that the love song between Jack and the Rag Doll is in the minor key. It's so beautiful. And I love how the minor key of the song resolves into the major key at the end. Great stuff.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Now you're talking scores and Danny Elfman

A whole other thread :D

[ghostsofgiants]

54. If you're a stop motion fan, I have to ask...

Are you familiar with The Brothers Quay or Jan Švankmajer?

[patricia92243]

18. Cinderella

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Maleficent!!! - edit:oh crap:

Best villain ever!



Edit: I confused Sleeping Beauty with Cinderella!


:blush:

[patricia92243]

28. LOL - :)

:)

[Deja Q]

21. Not Star Trek V?

The one where animated actor, William Shatner, bounces all over the place?

:rofl:

[sarge43]

23. My favorites

Classic shorts: What's Opera, Doc?, One Froggy Evening or The Cat Came Back or 25 Ways to Quit Smoking

Full length: The Man Who Planted Trees, Watership Down or Beauty and the Beast

Bambi Meets Godzilla is, of course, in a class all by itself.

[seaglass]

24. Bambi vs. Godzilla n/t

[scoey1953]

26. FINAL FANTASY VII --ADVENT CHILDREN/ FIRE AND ICE?

Cloudu and his amazing sword...



Tifa Lockhart - Cloudu's love interest.
The characters were so life like and real, but were not based on any particular person.




ANOTHER GREAT ANIMATION was the combination of two SUPER TALENTS in Frank Frazetta (Conan the Barbarian Book Covers) and Ralph Bakshi (Wizards/Lord of the Rings Animated)for the film: FIRE AND ICE

[ChazII]

27. Other

Howl's Moving Castle -- great book, too.

[Lilith Velkor]

29. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

I'm surprised Akira isn't on this list, but times they do change.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Excellent flick - then again I am one of the Barbaroy!

Akira is by far one of the greatest FILMS period - animated or not. I just lost space in the poll :thumbsup:

[mac56]

30. "The Iron Giant" is my fave.

nm

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. I figured at least one person would reply "the Triplets of Belleville"

Alas!

[wildhorses]

33. can.not.choose...

love them all

refuse to make my head hurt by trying to choose

[ghostsofgiants]

35. Waking Life is my favourite.

Not necessarily the greatest, but quite good.

(Honourable mention to the short films of The Brothers Quay.)

[Archae]

36. Fantasia (1940)

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. I really enjoyed Toy Story II

[MrSlayer]

38. Alice in Wonderland

Any Disney film really but Alice is my favorite.

[Mutley]

39. Secret of the NIMH was one of my

favorite favorite favorite movies when I was a kid. I LOVE that movie.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

40. Me too!

:thumbsup:

Best Don Bluth film ever.

[Mutley]

42. Indeed.

I'm gonna have to buy it now. :D

[MiniMandaRuth]

41. i voteted Grave

but I would add Watership Down to your list of the best.

[TimeChaser]

43. I can't choose,

but I'll pick Mononoke Hime anyways, for personal reasons :P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

44. As could be expected Miyazaki is running away with it. Totoro anyne?

[shugh514]

45. Fritz The Cat

[Hissyspit]

51. or Wizards

[Generic Brad]

46. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Where else are you going to see Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse sharing screen time? Getting Disney and Warner characters together in the same cartoon was pretty cool.

[Withywindle]

47. Tough, tough choice...

...I don't know if an "of all time" choice CAN be made or should be, because animated films are so diverse. But on your list I finally had to go for Mononoke because it is so.freakin'.beautiful.

[Brigid]

48. Finding Nemo.

Classic story and beautiful to look at. Hilarious too.

[haf216]

49. My other

is The Last Unicorn

[CaliforniaPeggy]
