The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walt...psisbanner.png

Welcome to MoFo Top 100 Animated Films Countdown!


On September 1, 2014, I asked the good people of MovieForums.com to send me their top 25 favorite animated features and shorts (excluding hybrids and television series), ranked in order of preference. The response was incredible. In all, 79 people made good on that request (though some lists had fewer than 25 entries) and between them they voted for 327 animated films.

The Voting Thread Can Be Found Here: The MoFo Top Animated Films - Voting

  • For movies ranked #100 - #21, I will post two movies per day.

  • Once we reach the top 20, I will post one movie per day until the final two, which will be revealed together (on or about January 29th, if my calculations are correct).

  • I will post four movies on December 24th and will not post any new entries in the countdown on December 25th. I will probably do the same for December 31st and January 1st.

  • If an unforeseen event prevents me from posting on a particular day, I will post two sets the following day.

  • Due to an erratic work schedule, I cannot promise to post at a consistent time of day. Some days the post will be quite late, other days it may be early. I apologize in advance if this causes any frustration.

  • If you are one of the voters, please do not reveal your full personal list until the countdown is complete. If you voted for a particular film that has been revealed on the countdown, feel free to say where on your list it placed.

  • Discussion of each film is encouraged.

  • A Note on Points and Numerical Ties: For those new to the list experience, each voter sent in a list of up to 25 films. Points were determined as follows: #1 votes received 25 points, #2 votes received 24 points, #3 votes received 23 points, etc all the way down to 1 point for a #25 vote. There were several numerical ties among the top 100. To determine order when ties arose, I first counted how many individual votes the films received. The film with the higher number of votes was given the higher position. If they received the same number of votes, then the film with the highest single vote was placed higher on the list.

  • Once the countdown is complete, Yoda will add it to the Lists section of MoFo. So be sure to check off what you've seen when the time comes.



And now for what you've all been waiting for...

But first....


These films each received only one point. This means that they each got only one vote and that one vote was for #25. Some of these are sort of afterthoughts, tacked on in order to fill out the ballot and others were deliberately put at that position in the hopes of getting them on this list and giving them some recognition in the countdown.

I voted for Hulk Vs.

lol

cricket 12-02-14 12:27 PM

The only one I've heard of from the 1 pointers is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and I didn't realize it was animated. Even though all 25 of my picks are not that well known, I thought there was a chance they'd all make the countdown. That was before I knew there would be over 300 films with points. That's a lot.

Great design on the graphics so far, btw...

Thanks, though I can't take any credit for that. Skepsis93 created the main header, The Rodent created the header for the list post and JayDee created the header for The One Point List.

And a big thank you from me to them!

linespalsy 12-02-14 12:35 PM

Damn it!, I knew I was forgetting something important - Skeleton Dance! That's what I get for throwing my list together at the last minute.

I thought for sure one of my picks would only get one point. I guess one or more of The Canadians voted for it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and The Skeleton Dance are the only ones I've seen from the 1 pointers. The former is a well executed, absurdly funny commentary on human greed and the latter is a fine piece of macaber classic animation.

Can't wait for the first two entries!

rauldc14 12-02-14 01:54 PM

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
Barnyard is the only one pointer that I've seen. It is OK, but truly had no reason to have a chance for this countdown.

Arcanis 12-02-14 02:04 PM

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
Although I loved the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I never liked the movie especially well, not even nostalgically. The other one-pointers I haven't even seen, althoughh I've been meaning to see Hulk Vs. for months now,

neiba 12-02-14 02:21 PM

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
Barnyard is mine!!!

I knew it would be a one pointer, that's why I chosed it! I watched it at the cinema and I remember laughing as hell! I'm glad it's represented somehow on this thread! :)

Hahahaha! Brave Little Toaster misses out on a list yet again.


How many lists has it failed to make now?


Gonna be some tantrums on here now.

MRW when I look at the list and see that NIMH didn't make it even though I gave it 22 points.

I didn't vote for NIMH myself, but I strongly considered it and it's a childhood favorite. I was very sad to see it make this list.

On the other hand, Over the Hedge is one of many films I voted for that did not make the top 100. I had it at number 8. :(

Yes, this list definitely breaks my heart. :bawling:

Over the Hedge was my #9.
The Adventures Of Tintin was my #10.
The Brave Little Toaster was my #24.
Ice Age was my #13.

Robin Hood didn't make my list, but it was a childhood favorite that was one of my final cuts.

cricket 12-02-14 02:35 PM

I gave The Adventures of Prince Achmed 2 points, and The Adventures of Tintin was my very last cut. Over the Hedge was one of the last movies I wanted to see, that I didn't get to.

Yoda 12-02-14 02:36 PM

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown
 
The thing about NIMH that I really love is how it doesn't talk down to its audience. Like all great children's films, it trusts them to reach beyond their comfort level a little bit to meet its story. It really respects its audiences.
