Movies on my list that I think no one else has seen: The Pagemaster and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
I know Sinbad got at least one other vote, which I'm pretty sure came from my friend Funny Face. I also had it on my preliminary ballot but it ultimately got bumped as I made my way through my watchlist.

UP was my number 16 and Toy Story was in the top tens somewhere, so I'm very happy with this result. Well done to Miss Vicky, my first countdown and it was great.



Thursday Next's Avatar
I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Wow, the top films were so close!

Well done and thank you to Miss Vicky for running this countdown

My list:

1. Spirited Away
2. Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem
3. The Nightmare Before Christmas
4. The Wrong Trousers
5. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
6. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
7. Frozen
8. Toy Story 2
9. Wreck-It Ralph
10. Despicable Me
11. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
12. The Snowman (1982)
13. When the Wind Blows
14. The Lego Movie
15. Only Yesterday
16. Grave of the Fireflies
17. Mary and Max
18. Harvie Krumpet
19. Aladdin
20. Paperman
21. 5 Centimeters Per Second
22. Monsters Inc
23. Millennium Actress
24. My Neighbour Totoro
25. Shrek

I didn't hold out any hope for Paperman or Advent Children, but I'm a bit disappointed Harvie Krumpet and Only Yesterday didn't make the top 100. I don't think Only Yesterday was even a near miss. It's a shame nobody else seems to appreciate the awesomeness of Interstella 5555, but not really a surprise.



I wished Dinosaur had made the cut somewhere along the line. Great CGI animation.
Robots is a favorite of mine. I just loved the humor in it.
A Monster in Paris was not a movie that was even on my radar. I saw that it was coming on cable and decided to give it a try. I was very surprised by it. The "monster" is somewhat of a cross between the Phantom of the Opera and maybe Quasimodo in certain aspects if not looks. Very entertaining and recommended.
I loved Hoodwinked!. I liked that it parodied Rashomon and although the animation wasn't perfect, I liked it, and the voice work was aces, particularly Patrick Warburton as the Wolf.

EDIT: Planet 51 (2009) was another I forgot about. Fun flick with very good animation and story.



My List:

1) Fantastic Mr. Fox #17
2) Aladdin #15
3) Lion King #5
4) Toy Story #1
5) Little Mermaid #32 (This was surprising to me, I thought this would get more love)
6) Beauty And The Beast #12
7) Persepolis #28
8) From Up On Poppy Hill (Can't believe this didn't make a 100 list, my favorite Ghibli)
9) Monsters Inc #7
10) Porco Rosso #43
11) Lego Movie #37
12) Spirited Away #3
13) Wreck It Ralph #27 (Surprised but pleased this is as high as it was, great fun)
14) Fox And The Hound #92
15) Toy Story 3 #10
16) Mary And Max #23
17) Up #2
18) My Neighbor Totoro #18 (Neat, just noticed this now)
19) A Bug's Life #98
20) Finding Nemo #6
21) Toy Story 2 #16
22) A Scanner Darkly #47
23) How To Train Your Dragon #19
24) The Incredibles #11
25) Monsters U (Maybe one that is too fresh in my mind, but I thought this was a fun sequel.)

Not a whole lot of surprises. I did expect my top two to fare better, but they did well so I can't complain. 23/25 made the list. I am at 65/100 watched and only expect to grow that number by 3 or 4.

I re-watched Up last night because I wanted it to be fresh in my mind since it came in so high on the list. It was definitely better this time, but I still don't think it deserves to be this high. It still wouldn't have made my list if I had re-watched it before submitting my list, but at least I don't dislike it as much as I did before the re-watch.

A special Thank You to Miss Vicky for running a great list.


This is my complete list. I just want to mention that prior to making my list, many people seemed to be complaining that the list would be entirely Disney and Pixar movies, and many of those movies are my favorites, so I tried to keep those movies to a minimum and include many of my favorite non-Disney and non-Pixar movies.
