List-Fu: The Authentic Match Cut Top 100 Animated Films (nominations)

[Sycophant]

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n123/lostty_2006/pairqr0.jpg

Okay, none of this newfangled, slapdash community/interactive list nonsense. We're firing up the old List-Fu series to figure out where our little web community stands on the greatest animated films. I'll be allowing shorts. Apparently all of our old list-fu threads were on the old site, so I'm not entirely sure about the rules.

Here's what we'll do, though. This thread is for the round of nominations for what goes on the ballet. Post in this thread up to 50 films that you want to nominate to end up on our top 100 animated films list. Order doesn't matter. If it appears on two or more lists, it'll end up on the ballot (if there's a huge turnout with hundreds of entries, I could end up upping the requirement to 3, but probably won't).

Films from all countries and languages will be considered. The animation can be traditional, 3D, stop-motion, etc.

If you want to avoid influencing strategic nominating, you can PM me your list as well.

I'm going to hold nominations open till next Friday, August 7th, 2009.

[Dukefrukem]

edit: maybe ill send you them

[Sycophant]

(If anyone has any suggestions as to how to moderate this, let me know.)

(I'm planning on doing top 50ish musicals some time after this, probably in September, depending on how this goes.)

(If someone wants to undertake top 100 science fiction, they can go for it, though I'd encourage them to wait until after this one's done--and I'd likewise hold off on musicals till after sci-fi.)

(I didn't do science fiction myself because I couldn't bring myself to care.)

Are we counting Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[Sycophant]

Are we counting Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I say yes. And also any other films with such a level of integration of animation and live action (not that I can think of any at the moment).

[Dukefrukem]

Are we counting Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

nice catch!

[Mysterious Dude]

I say yes. And also any other films with such a level of integration of animation and live action (not that I can think of any at the moment).
I say no. Would you consider Transformers an animated film? I suspect it has at least as much animation as Roger Rabbit.

[Sycophant]

Um, crap. That's a good point.

[Qrazy]

I agree with Antoine.

[Russ]

I say no. Would you consider Transformers an animated film? I suspect it has at least as much animation as Roger Rabbit.
You're probably right. However, the CGI in Transformers was intended to emulate live-action, while Roger Rabbit's clear purpose was to integrate live action with classic animation. As such, I'd lean toward including it with the animated films.

I'd probably like these more if I rewatched them, so I'm counting them:

Allegro non Troppo
Happy Feet
The Lion King

I guess I should see more animated movies.

[Sycophant]

Ok. I'm allowing Roger Rabbit. I think that's the only hybrid I'll allow, unless someone has as good case for another one. I recognize WFRR is still a bit gray, but I'm not going to worry about creating a rule to allow it, but rather think of it as a special excpetion.

Sorry if this devalues this consensus for anyone.

I wish Time Masters was on DVD. I've been looking for it for some time.

[Philosophe_rouge]

For your consideration;

Betty Boop in Snow White (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-arBMWSD9s)

This is animation... it's experimental though, would it count? If so, CONSIDER IT'S AWESOMENESS

[EyesWideOpen]

Some of the best animation is found in shorts, but whatever works for you.

I agree, and would have no problem with a seperate Top 100 shorts list.

[Qrazy]

There are way too many great shorts to do the shorts justice in a top 100 animated films thread... so I won't include them... I'll include the longer (albeit not feature) ones from Petrov, Back, Park and Norstein... because I can't bring myself to part with them... so if shorts end up being included then they'll be there. But I really vote no shorts to do both the shorts and features justice!

I could edit it in. It is certainly deserving, but I slightly prefer Place Promised in Our Early Days and decided to only go with that.

Sweet convo.

Sweet convo.
Word.

[Mysterious Dude]

Aleksandr Petrov people. Please. This list is going to suck if he doesn't get something mentioned.
You're right. Petrov deserves to be acknowledged. I have edited my list to include The Cow.

So long, Nausicaa! As if you needed my help.

[Qrazy]

See even though I know we're supposed to include shorts I can't bring myself to go back and nom them because there are too many great ones. Instead I'll just vote for them when the ballot is finalized.

[Mysterious Dude]

If I limited myself to features, I would feel my list would be rubbish. It's hardly even a contest for me. Features are so homogenized, and there is so much variety in short films.

Unrelated note: I'm watching Petrov's Old Man and the Sea. His interpretation is a lot more beautiful than Hemingway's novel was (in my mind).

[dreamdead]

So, tell me about it.

Given that your link takes me to a Japanese vocal track of Petrov's film, these thoughts only concern the visuals, which are nonetheless fully understandable despite language barriers. And the visuals, save for a slightly blocky marlin, are just absolutely sumptuous and breathtaking. The initial dream sequence alone conveys the moral of the short, but once Santiago enters the waters and begins his fight with the marlin, Petrov achieves some truly monumental shots. He cuts frequently to underwater angles (when the sharks swarm the boat) or dives into the depths to reveal the marlin, and these shots possess such grace and artistry that it truly unveils the beauty (however artificially imposed here) of nature. And the music glides right along with each visual, reminding me of Back's animation in its alchemy of visual and music. Just a marvel, considering how little information is needed to comprehend the story.

Oh shit, I didn't realize that was a Japanese site. I did a quick search, and just linked without watching it. An English language version on youtube in two parts can be found here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1EbNvHDxbA) and here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2_KszEnlq0).

There is an amazing fluidity to the art work, and the Back comparison is very much evident.

Anyone here seen the Japanese anime about Hiroshima, Barefoot Gen? I'm giving that a whirl with the next 'flix, and its legacy seems to make it out like a classic...

I think it's very good, though a little "cartoony" for a film about Hiroshima.

It's okay - not as great I was hoping for.

[Grouchy]

I've just seen the short Harvie Krumpet. Pretty good. Deserves mention.

[Fezzik]

I could edit it in. It is certainly deserving, but I slightly prefer Place Promised in Our Early Days and decided to only go with that.

Rep, sir. I was about to say the same exact thing.

Sycophant should have my nominations soon :)

[Mara]

What's the short about the guy who finds good stuff in his chest and spreads it on glasses? Wats had it as his av for awhile.

Great nom, btw (you too, ledfloyd).

I want to agree, but I know ledfloyd would disapprove.

Haha! Awesome.

Added: A Country Doctor (Yamamura)

It's based on a Kafka story. It can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XpvlrOcEcM) on YouTube. It's only 20 mins.

That was the first time I've seen Bambi vs. Godzilla.

How could I forget that? I live in a giant bucket.

Edited for that and The Spongebob Squarepants Movie.


Ok. I'm allowing Roger Rabbit. I think that's the only hybrid I'll allow, unless someone has as good case for another one.

...Space Jam? That does the same thing as Roger Rabbit.

[D_Davis]

I'm adding a couple to my original post if it's not too late:

Jumping - Tezuka Osamua

[EyesWideOpen]

I have Song of the South coming tomorrow on dvd which is another hybrid but I won't have in time to see if it makes my list.
