Best Animated Feature.

[BloodyWolverine]

I am well aware what i promised and no thsi is not a dreaded come back. Its just a once and a while thing and well i got board and had nothing to do. Thaught i'd list a poll of animated films which consists of traditional and modern animated feature movies. I will select like before 24 with a 25 other. I get that people have vast opinions and it would be arragant of me to not put a poll option up that lets a person select an movie i may ahve forgotten.
Please bare with me while i post the poll. Yes even a old man at 28 like me watches some animated features.

I suppose some would argue its credentials as a true animated movie, but I myself am always in awe of how the great the movie is.

So what we had is

Don Bluth's Filmography
Pixar's Filmography
Disney's Films
2 Rankin & Bass Films
3-4 Misc. Titles...

By far an ignornant thread... Animation I think deserves a little more respect than lumping it all into one catagory unless you were judging it from an artistic animation style in which case you fail yet again because you exclude many pioneers in animation such as Ralph Bakshi, Chuck Jones, Hayao Miyazaki, and others... Perhaps favorite is more intended since this seems to consist of a kid's favorite 90s popculture films... Since kids from the 90s grew up on Bleuth and Pixar. How do you compare a film like South Park to Little Mermaid? How do you compare Bakshi's American Pop to A Nightmare Before Christmas? And for chrsit sakes where Transformers the Movie?

Anyway here are some very noteable missing films

American Pop
South Park The Movie
Beavis and Butthead Do America
Fritz the Cat
Wizards
Spirited Away
Akira
Princess Mononoke
Dark Crystal - Puppets
How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales

Just to name a few!

This poll sucks. It's missing about half if not more of the greatest animated movies ever.

 

[kainedamo]

I mean seriously, not a single Japanese animated movie in that poll. And there are so, so many great quality Japanese animations.

Akira.
Ghost In The Shell
Perfect Blue
My Neighbour Toturo
Spirited Away

They're just off the top of my head, and that is only taking into consideration the popular Japanese animated features.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Wallace and Gromit.

 

[Leto Atrides]

Guys, cut him some slack. Only so many movies fit on a poll. It seems like he just put the ones he could think of on there, it's not supposed to be a singular list of the best animated films.

Steamboy, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Akira, Endless Waltz, Hercules, Ghost in the Shell.

If I had to pick one, though, I'd say Aladdin (with Steamboy as the best non-Western).

Oh, and countdown to someone bringing up and subsequently explaining Thief and the Cobbler: 5...4...3...

 

[The Chairman]

Thank you. I sometimes feel like not enough people are aware of its greatness.

There have been spectacular animated movies from all around the world. Heck, i've probably seen 5 times more than you ever did, and I do not consider myself know enough in the genre.

I do not know much about musical movies, and just because i've enjoyed some of them, it wouldn't make me appropriate to go and post a poll about it.

Next time you do it, at least see and put in the polls pionner movies from France like Le roi et l'oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird), recent classic like Kiriku and Les triplettes de belleville, to older Asterix movies like the great Asterix chez les bretons (asterix in Britain) to some of the biggest pionners in the animated field: the asian for godsake!

Where's the first feature both Miyazaki and Takahata did that changed the face of animation ? (Horus Le prince du soleil, or Little Norse Prince here) Where's all of the Osamu "God and creator of anime" Tezuka adapted films ? Where's the filmmography of both Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, from Totoro to Goshu the cellist ? Where's Mamoru Oshii's list of controversial and modern classics films ? (From Angel's egg to Ghost in the shell). Where's Otomo's pivotal Akira ???

Jesus... I might sound harsh, but what I just listed are FRAGMENTS of what he should have put in there. FRAGMENTS!

Heck, I love american animation (from the Fleisher brothers' old superman cartoon, to looney tunes, to the iron giant, to disney's huge library to even recent brilliant show like the simpsons, samurai jack and Avatar) but they are far from being the only one out there.

Heck, even The last unicorn and flight of the dragon are missing. Where's most of Ralph Bakshi's movies like the great Fire and ice or his most well know failure Lord of the rings ? Redo the whole thing when you've seen or AT LEAST know all of the movies i've mentionned, and then go deeper, and comeback and rewrite a poll.

Edit: to clarify things, this is a post to suggest seeing these animated classics. If you feel lost reading these titles, than go seeking them. They are great. If you feel insult, than i'm sorry, that wasn't the goal here. This edit is to clarify a reply I got after that.

Awwww, someone else with my view! Missing a lot of key element in animation here that I think are prime exemples of animation field, but at least it's a little more deep than the main poster's thread. Still, it is indeed naming just a few.

(the king and the mockingbird is a must no matter what! It inspired so many things it's crazy)

[A self-important rant]

He put "other" there for this reason. Since when do you have to be an expert to ask the opinion of other people?

When it's a poll. About best animated feature. And since I love animation. t:

Btw, do you know more about animation than he does ? I don't want to be mean, but it seems to me, being offended by my "self important post" might be because you indeed know as much as he does. Or maybe you know a hell of a lot and do feel I've been mean to him. If so, sorry.

And not knowing as much isn't a bad thing, all it means is that you have a great lineup of great movies to look foward if you advice yourself well.

And i'm having fun, I don't think i've been mean, and if I have, I retract the mean things I have said. I didn't take the first post too seriously, but I though i'd contribute by naming some very important movies he missed (which is true, btw, if you know about them )

edit: you know what's hard on these forums ? People dont put enough information about themself. If BloodyWolverine is a 16 years old teen, than I really dont mind his post. Heck, I'll be glad to suggest him great animated classic movies he hasn't seen. If he's a 28 years old guy, who loves animation but restrain himself by only one country's worth of animation, than yes, I like saying and suggesting he could have made a much better animated poll thread. Unfortunately, I have no idea. Oh well.

Can't believe i forgot Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. That was a great movie. I have to get that on dvd. I was going to put a japanese feature cartoon up there but i could remember that many for i really don't fallow it. Dragonball Z had some great movies and love the Inuyasha movies. I was going to put Kiki's Delivery Service.

Dark Crystal and any Muppet movie is not a cartoon for i was going for animation. As you notice Muppet movies are very real. Who Framed Rodger Rabbit should have been up there for it has animated character in it. But unlike Ghostworld it was aimed for kids.
