Match-Cut's Top 100 Animated Films

[BuffaloWilder]

(it's not really a genre, but still)

Let's get it on!

1. Happy Feet (George Miller, 2006)

[Milky Joe]

I'm sure Qrazy will be willing to oblige. I however think this is entirely excessive and uncalled-for!

2. The Rescuers Down Under (Butoy & Gabriel, 1990)

3. The Plague Dogs (Rosen, 1980)

4. Watership Down (Rosen, 1977)

Not to get too curmudgeonly about this stuff, but it probably doesn't make sense to call these threads "Match Cut's Top ..." when just anyone can add any old thing they like. I mean, that shit's gotta be certified through a convoluted voting system that is argued about and debated for at least three business days.

5. Felidae (Schaack, 1996)

7. Ratatouille (Bird, 2007)

Anybody can pick this up, y'know.

[baby doll]

All I can come up with is eight. I suppose I could beef-up my list if I were willing to use more than one film per director, thereby opening the Miyazaki floodgates.

Begone Dull Care (Evelyn Lambart and Norman McLaren, 1949)
The Big Snit (Richard Condie, 1985)
Bob's Birthday (David Fine and Alison Snowden, 1993)
Duck Amuck (Chuck Jones, 1953)
Fuji (Robert Breer, 1974)
Persepolis (Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi, 2007)
Princess Mononoke (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997)
Virile Games (Jan Å*vankmajer, 1988)

[BuffaloWilder]

Do so. I insist. And, pictures. And, numbers!

8. The Maxx (Keith, 1995)

(stuff like this is also applicable, if it's one overarching narrative. I have declared it.)

[baby doll]

Do so. I insist. And, pictures. And, numbers!That would at least knock out most (if not all) of the NFB films, which are basically padding.

A numbered top five (with pictures!):

If there's a pattern developing here, it's that I very much enjoy classically told fables.

[Qrazy]

Features only or are shorts fair game?

Here are three of my favorite animators:

1. Yuri Norstein - Hedgehog in the Fog, Tale of Tales, Her and the Crane, Fox adn the Hare, Battle of Kerzhenets, 25 October, The First Day

Of course shorts be fair game! Just a little ways above, I spotted the Brothers Quay.

This actually is Match Cut's top animated film, you presumptuous silly-kins.

This actually is Match Cut's top animated film, you presumptuous silly-kins.

This list is better, though, because every single film mentioned so far is better than that one.

Except for Ratatouille. Get that out of there.

I'm going to pretend Nightmare Before Christmas isn't on it.

[Sycophant]

Srsly, we should do some real consensus threads again.

15. Sleeping Beauty

I disagree. Ratatouille's the best thing Pixar's done, so far.

16. Mad Monster Party?

[EyesWideOpen]

I hate Mad Monster Party. Probably the worst Rankin/Bass film I've seen.

It's way too freakin' long.

I have the VHS at my desk right now!

I was looking forward to a new consensus.

You failed me.

Eep. I haven't fully caught up with the site yet. My bad.

Still, after the nomination round should be the tiers like we've done before. Guarantee that Happy Feet would not be #1.
