The MoFo Top 100 Animated Films - The Countdown

Nemo is also the name of the Captain of the Nautilus in Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

Finding Nemo is good, didn't make my list.

What I said was "the things I do for you people" and then somebody assumed that it meant the movie had placed high on the countdown (which #9 is pretty damn high). I never implied that it was number one.

I think it was pretty much a given from the start that Ghibli films, especially those by Miyazaki, would do well but it seems strange to assume that Mononoke would even rank the highest of the Miyazaki films.

There's no way Spirited Away will the the 1st one. Up most likely will be it.

I had Finding Nemo on my 20th, it's a very nostalgic film for me and it's always so fun and entretaining to watch. Even sad at times. The colors are so vivid, just like Ratatouille which did not make my list just because I couldn't watch it on time. In fact I saw it yesterday and I loved it, I'll soon rate it.

If Toy Story 3 is #10, Toy Story is either #1 or #2.

Remember -- for the '70s Countdown, The Godfather Part II was #10 and The Godfather was #1.

I think the votes are more spread over the three films this time. Toy Story is also not that popular as The Godfather or LOTR.

I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.

Monsters Inc and Ratatouille are both fine films, but always struck me as lesser Pixar efforts. They're mot ones that I'll put on to watch, but won't mind others starting up while I'm around.

Finding Nemo is another matter entirely. It's not just my favorite Pixar, but my favorite animated film overall. It has a fantastic story, great dialog, great cast and of course phenomenal animation. It's honestly one that I can't get enough of.

I've never liked The Lion King. It had the misfortune of being released when I was 13 and very much in my "animation sucks" phase. But also I've always found the songs to be really, really annoying and that didn't change when I rewatched it a couple of months ago.

In the 10 Ring: Gunslinger45's reviews

The Lion King is a great movie, but it didn't make my list. It was in one of my final rounds of cuts due to too many Disney movies.

The Lion King and Finding Nemo are just not my type of flicks. They most certainly did not make my list, that's for sure! If I am watching an animated film and I hear tuba music and then a little character pops out of the shrubs and starts singing a little ditty, I have taken a wrong turn somewhere, and I generally stop the journey right there. Nemo was fairly entertaining and only mildly annoying, but again, had no chance of making my list. I have never seen Monsters Inc.

These flicks just aren't anywhere near engaging enough for me when compared to something like Perfect Blue or Serial Experiments : Lain. That's just my taste, I guess!

Quite excited to see Lion King this high. I wish Aladdin was up here with it but we can't have it all. I love the characters and the songs. It probably also was responsible for me becoming a big Elton John fan. I went and saw him in concert with Billy Joel the summer Lion King was released. Of course he sang the songs from the movie and clips were going on the big screen. Went and saw it as soon as it was released. Good times. Might be some nostalgia there. The movie holds up for me though. I have watched it a bunch since. My kids don't like it which is kind of a bummer. Lion King was my #3.
