Also wouldn't mind knowing if anyone else voted for The Man Who Planted Trees.

The wife and I bought The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. toad like 2 months ago. I haven't seen it yet though.

A movie with a crazy old man trying to defy the basic laws of physics at number 1? Pooh, but it isn't a bad film at all.

Good job with the thread MV. Too bad it finished before I got back.

Up was second Gatsby .

Hallelujah.

And it's your fault.

1. Harvey Krumpet (2003)
2. Charlotte's Web (1973)
3 James & the Giant Peach (1996)
4. The Little Mermaid (1989)
5. Mary & Max (2009)
6. Dumbo (1941)
7. Blood: The Last Vampire (2000)
8. Corpse Bride (2005)
9. Tekkonkinkreet (2006)
10. The Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
11.Frankenweenie (2012)
12. Chicken Run (2000)
13. Surf's Up (2007)
14.How to Train Your Dragon ( 2010)
15. Lilo & Stitch (2002)
16. Rango (2011)
17. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
18. Cowboy Bebop: The Movie

22. Vampire Hunter D (1985)
23. Perfect Blue (1997)
24. Up (2009)
25. Beauty and the Beast ( 1991)

The only reason Up was so low on my list is that I didn't feel it needed much of my help. It's hard for me to understand people not thinking it's a beautiful movie.

Some stats on movies people have asked about/expressed disappointment about:

The Man Who Planted Trees
2 votes, 28 points: 11th Place (15 pts), 13th Place (13 pts.)

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
2 votes, 18 points: 15th Place (11 pts.), 19th Place (7 pts.)

Harvie Krumpet
3 votes, 42 points: 1st Place (25 pts.), 17th Place (9 pts.), 18th Place (8 pts.)

Only Yesterday
4 votes, 44 points: Two 10th Place (16 pts. each), 15th Place (11 pts.), 25th Place (1 pt.)

The Sword in the Stone
6 votes, 38 points: 9th Place (17 pts.), 20th Place (6 pts.), 21st Place (5 pts.), 22nd Place (4 pts.), Two 23rd Place (3 pts. each)

Castle of Cagliostro
3 votes, 36 points: 11th Place (15 pts.), 15th Place (11 pts.), 16th Place (10 pts.)

Titan A.E.
3 votes, 40 points: 1st Place (25 pts.), 12th Place (14 pts.), 25th Place (1 pt.)

And I don't think anybody asked about this one, but I was really disappointed:

The Land Before Time
6 votes, 45 points: 9th Place (17 pts.), 11th Place (15 pts.), 20th Place (6 pts.), 23rd Place (3 pts.), Two 24th Place (2 pts. each)

MV, whenever you have the time could you check Duck Dodgers and What's Opera Doc please?

Who was the other Harvie voter other than Thursday and me?

Great job on this list, MV!!

I think Holden said he had it.

Who else voted for it? Show yourself!

That would be wintertriangles.

Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century
2 votes, 27 points: 5th Place (21 pts), 20th Place (6 pts.)

What's Opera, Doc?
3 votes, 27 points: 14th Place (12 pts.), 15th Place (11 pts.), 22nd Place (4 pts.)

Of course. Good old WT, always ready to vote for quality.

I think a lot of the shorts got hurt by being in this countdown. Shorts should have been a separate list.

How would each of those shorts have done if their votes were combined with the Looney Tunes movie that they were in?

Why would the totals be combined?

Duck Amuck was part of The Bugs Bunny/Road-Runner Movie and it not only made it onto the countdown, but placed higher than the feature.

I'm just curious where it might have ended up in theory if the people who voted for it in the movie had voted for it as a separate short instead.

By allowing shorts, it split the vote. If there were a separate list for shorts, Duck Amuck might have had more votes on a shorts list. Plus the shorts that didn't make the list might have made it onto a shorts only list.
