The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown

I fell instantly in love with Wreck-It Ralph when I first saw it in the theater. Such a fun and touching movie and the attention to detail is really amazing. The world of Sugar Rush is especially great and each time I watch the movie I notice something I never noticed before. It's one of my go-to movies whenever I'm feeling down or am just bored and indecisive. I had it at number 4.

Also, how freaking cute is this little guy? I love me some Sour Bill.



I watched Persepolis for the countdown and thought it was really well made and shed some light on what it's like to live in a culture I know little about. I seriously considered it for my list, but ultimately couldn't find a place for it.

My List
4. Wreck-It Ralph (#27)
6. Surf's Up (#99)
8. Over the Hedge (Near Miss)
9. Chicken Run (#51)
10. Charlotte's Web (#57)
11. Despicable Me (#61)
16. The Emperor's New Groove (#80)
21. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (#42)
22. Lilo & Stitch (#83)
24. Bambi (#50)



Persepolis was my number nine choice, and I'm glad it is in the top thirty....though I was hoping it'd place even higher! At least it's no secret around here how wonderful it is, a very faithful adaptation of the amazing graphic novels. And that's not the one of mine I was worried won't make the cut, this late in the game, as I was extremely confident it'd show.

4. The Wrong Trousers (#35)
5. A Town Called Panic (#76)
6. The Lego Movie (#6)
7. The Illusionist (#60)
8. Alice in Wonderland (#33)
9. Persepolis (#28)
10 Akira (#29)
12. Coraline (#36)
13. Animal Farm (#89)
15. Yellow Submarine (#62)
19. Watership Down (#75)
20. Waking Life (#41)
23. Sleeping Beauty (#54)
24. "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (#42)
25. Hugo the Hippo (DNP)

I watched Persepolis for this countdown and it was my #7. Really great movie. Might be the only one that I watched specifically for tjis list and made it.

Wreck It Ralph was my #13. Like Vicky, its a go to now when I want something fun. The best Disney in a really long time and destroys Frozen in my opinion.

Wreck It Ralph is such a great film: so much raw emotion balanced against such intelligent references and in-jokes. The AA-styled villains meeting, Ralph wrecking the car and him sacrificing himself while chanting his villains' mantra are stand-out scenes in an already exceptional film.

I haven't seen Persepolis yet, although I really should. It always looked really interesting to me.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Persepolis is good (but didn't make my list).

Wreck-It Ralph was my #9. Like The Lego Movie, it is the details and references and gamer in-jokes that make this movie what it is. It's clever and fun and not too cutesy and consequently one of my favourite Disney movies.



You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
Wreck-It Ralph was my #17. It's cute, fun, and just an all around feel-good movie. I was a bit worried about it making the list because I don't hear much about it, but I'm glad to see so much love for it here.



Bright light. Bright light. Uh oh.
Needless to say, two great movies. They were both in my 26-30 zone, but on another day, they could be up to 10 places higher. I had about 25 movies vying for the last 10 places.

Persepolis is great. It could've easily made my list, I just chose not to put it on. I knew it would make the list anyways... Glad to see it this high too.

Wreck-It Ralph I really liked, but it was never considered for my list.

Wreck-It Ralph instantly became one of my favorites... sadly I couldn't watch it in time for the countdown

It's such an amazing little movie, there is so much going on and such a nice twist!! And the "sugarland" oh my god, it had so much details and made me want to each so much sweet haha the storyline, the characters the funny parts, it was all so magical, I didn't want it to finish,I wanted to watch more and more of it.

I'm so sad I didn't watch it before, but well I had a lot to watch and I never thought it'd be so good. (What's new?)

I'm really happy to see it this high up, it definitely deserves the spot ^-^

Red is what I'm almost positive did NOT make it. 1-11 for SURE 100% will, the last batch can be iffy.

Also surprised I left The Simpsons off, it probably would have snuck on the list in the 20-25 range.

It'd be a real shame if The Great Mouse Detective missed the list. It's such a great film (although I sadly left it off of my own list).
