Waltz With Bashir is a film that I had put off watching for a long time. To say that an animated documentary about the traumas of war is outside my comfort zone is to make a gross understatement. But the film is strikingly beautiful, incredibly moving, and deeply disturbing. It is an experience that is not soon forgotten. I urge anyone who has not seen it to remedy that immediately.
That said, I really struggled with where to put Waltz With Bashir on my ballot. It's so unlike anything I've ever seen that I didn't know how to compare it to the rest. Ultimately I settled on giving it the number 12 position.
I've never cared for South Park - the show or the film.
My Ballot:
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)
