Never seen South Park, a single episode, or the movie. But I love Team America, so I should definitely check it out sometime. Waltz with Bashir is probably the film I most regret not seeing, I'm sure I'll love it.

Now we should be to the meat and potatoes of this list. Up and coming:

Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Toy Story 3
Shrek
Pinocchio
Beauty and the Beast
Lion King
Aladdin
Mary and Max
Spirited Away
My Neighbor Totoro
Princess Mononoke
Wall E
Up
Ratatouille
Finding Nemo
Grave of the Fireflies
The Incredibles
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Fantasia
Nightmare Before Christmas

And the three movies I can't currently think of. I thought Cinderella would make it but it seems pretty late in the game. Hopefully we see a pleasant surprise or two.



Duck Amuck also seems to be much more popular than What's Opera, Doc? on movieforums, as the latter didn't make it as an individual short.



I also forgot to vote for this personal favorite cartoon short of mine. I kind of regret it, because it probably got some votes from other people as it's fairly well known. Maybe it could've made it.




Aw, I love that one Cob, but I didn't think to put in any shorts with so many great full-length animations out there... I guess except for How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Wreck-It Ralph was just outside of my Top 10. I have so much love for that movie, I don't know where to start. The unique concept, the attention to detail, the range of emotions that it inspires, Sarah Silverman- all come to my mind. I've rewatched it multiple times and I always notice something new, which to me is a great quality in a movie and makes this one highly rewatchable (which for a movie geared towards kids is probably a godsend to parents).

Waltz With Bashir is another movie I unfortunately did not get to before the deadline. South Park has never interested me and I am pretty surprised it managed to get so high on this list.

Aladdin will win it? Did that movie begin the new age of animated movies?



VFN, I think The Little Mermaid is widely credited with starting the new age of animated movies (at the very least the new golden age of Disney animation).

As I'm sure many of you know by now, I watched Mary and Max. for the first time about a year ago. I watched it because it was free on Amazon Prime and I was bored and mark f said he thought I would like it.

I really had no idea what to expect when I pressed play but it was pretty much instant love. When I wasn't giggling like an idiot at its absurd humor, my heart was breaking at the personal trials of its titular characters - each trying to find acceptance and struggling to understand the world and people around them.

I've watched the film probably a dozen times in the last 12 months and it has quickly and firmly taken its place in my all time top ten and ranked third on my ballot.



I like Pinocchio well enough, but it has never been a favorite and didn't get my vote.

My Ballot:
3. Mary and Max. (#23)
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)
12. Waltz With Bashir (#26)
16. The Emporer's New Groove (#80)
21. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (#42)
22. Lilo & Stitch (#83)
24. Bambi (#50)



Pinocchio is undoubtedly a very good animation, and a classic. I always thought it was good, but I've never massively loved it and when I was younger I thought it was a bit scary, maybe that's why I didn't include it in my list.

Mary and Max didn't make my list either, although it's a very good film that I enjoyed a lot too. Maybe a little too dark, but certain parts are very magical and I want to watch it again. No surprise to see it here as it's loved around this site.
