The 5 Best Animated Movie of All Time?

January 14th 2010 20:35
Friendly banter turned to heated competition just the other day as a group of friends and I engaged (with some fervour) the virtures of exactly what should lay claim to the greatest animated movie of all time.

The candidates were none too shoddy - with Fantasia, Snow White, Dumbo, The Lion King and Toy Toy Story being the big movers - yet votes also came from the least likely quarters including Lady and Tramp, Antz and even a Japanese classic (which frankly I'd never heard of) called Akira.

In fact special mention was made of psuedo animations including the Beatles Yellow Submarine.


So put it to rest folks - quell the uprising - what at least makes your top 5 if not your favourite.

Does Roger Rabbit deserve to crack the big time?

Or do Bambi and Shrek make the directors cut?

Happy Feet! Wouldn't have pegged you as a fan.

The things you learn . . .

Cheers buddy.

PS: By all accounts you'll be ready for that Ironman title very soon

Personally thought you may have rated Fantasia, but given you are the Oracle - have to take on board your selections - in spite of an obvious bent . . .

Particularly interesting list champion - I'm sure it will open up debate.

MNG, actually I used to rate Fantasia very highly, well, in particular A Night on Bald Mountain, the best piece. But I guess over the years other movies have slowly edged it out. Disney is currently represented by Sleeping Beauty, I love the design of that movie, especially the dark fairy Maleficient and her metamorphosis into that awesome dragon. It's unlike any of the other Disney fairy tales. Yes, I realise my selection leans toward the darker nature, but still, they are all beautiful animated features.

So what about Waking Life, Sin City, A Scanner Darkly?

Harvie Krumpet
The Lion King
Mary & Max
Spirited Away

Have to admit I secretly loved the Little Mermaid - though it probably had more to do with the age of my kids at the time . . .

I concur with your sentiments on Harvie Krumpet.

Yep - the Incredibles rank up there with Toy Story in my books too. Love the outtakes on those things . . . how clever

You know I only watched Ratatouille in its entirety for the first time the other week - and thoroughly enjoyed it. Saw Monsters Inc at the Drive In of all places in a double feature with Toy Story - talk about animation overload.

Cheers

You know - I've still to watch Wall-E from start to finish . . . am I bad?

Nemo was outstanding - but the addition of (insert here city of your choice and accent of your choice) throughout various parts of the movie kinda marred it for mine a little though.

Thanks for stopping by . . .
