Originally Posted By TheRedhead I'd argue that "South Park" is a smarter film than any Disney movie.

I'm a huge Disney animated film fan, but I'd put South Park up there in a heartbeat. I like the list. I'd switch Nemo and the Incredibles, nix Iron Giant (revoke my fanboy membership, but I don't get the love), and keep Toy Story 2 at the top. But me, I'm a 32-year-old male.

Until I saw those I had no expectations for "Sleeping Beauty" to be on there at all. But now I'm a little surprised it wasn't, as different, innovative, and original a film as it was. *sigh*
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <'Charlotte's Web'? It's a fairly good movie, but the animation is really, really basic. 1970s Hanna-Barbera -- not exactly supreme artistry here.> Exactly. Any list that puts Charlotte's Web (and Transformers) above Bambi, Fantasia, and Pinocchio (#1 in my book) is hard to take seriously.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>I'd argue that "South Park" is a smarter film than any Disney movie.<< And I'd strongly disagree. But then I'm a cranky 43-year-old and poo-poo jokes and crudely drawn children swearing for 90 minutes don't hold the same charm for me that they once did.

Wow... a lot of Disney movies on that list. Should make many Disney fans happy.

Originally Posted By teddibubbles and they didnt even list one of my top fav cartoon..Thumbelina from WB . what I love about it is I think they covered that clasic story well. thumbelina is drawn realy cute.. I like waching the body lang she does. they do alot with movements and thing with her. it has some good big star names in roles.. ( there are a few parts that I dont carefore at ALL!) ZZZZ but I have many parts of it that are so nice I love this film!... I think there are a lot of films that are priceless as far as the work that went into it.. like An American tails! good song too.
Originally Posted By AladdinAZ I know it has fans, but Iron Giant certainly isn't better than most of the movies below it. Charlottes Web is WAY shouldn't be on the list either, I would put Anastasia on the list way ahead of Web. And ditto many of posters laughing at Transformers and South Park on the list, too. And, yes, the Japanamation style has it's fans, but I can't stand the look of that type of animation. All are Way overated, a movie has to be something appealing visually, too.
