Of my remaining eleven titles, there are nine features and two shorts. Of the nine, seven are surely going to show, one of them really should but may have tragically missed the cut, and the other I knew was a long shot but I like it a lot. Of the two shorts....I can't tell? They are pretty well universally beloved and well known, but I get the feeling not all that many of you voted for individual shorts. Haven't only a few made the countdown, so far? Doesn't bode well.
Shorts wise, not counting the TV specials like
"How the Grinch Stole Christmas", there's only been the "Bolero/Evolution" segment of
Allegro Non Troppo, Chuck Jones' iconic
Duck Amuck, and the Russian
Tale of Tales. That is it, right? And
The Wrong Trousers, which I had on my list all the way at number four!
Not very confident about any shorts showing up in the top thirty. But Hopefully I'm wrong.
