Originally Posted By Labuda Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. Especially happy to see Wallace & Gromit palce so high, but not surprisingv since they're a UK phenomenon and all. Favorite souvenir I've ever gotten at the UK pavilion at Epcot: Wallace & Gromit stuffed aminals - INCLUDING Feathers McGraw and Shaun!

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Yep - it's the destinations add, but in the UK, it is specifically for DLP. WDW uses the surfing dog add. And DL and TDL do not exist! Pretty sad. At least the local commercial radio stations ran a story on the 50th song the other week!
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Droopy Dog<< Lil kim -- Droopy is a little dog that starred in a series of groundbreaking 'toons for MGM. He was the creation of Tex Avery, whose madcap, off-the-wall style is widely imitated today. If you have seen "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Droopy appears as an elevator operator, in his distinctive, droopy/weary voice, saying "Going up, sir?" A typical Droopy cartoon usually features little Droopy driving a larger dog/wolf/bad guy character insane. Droopy might be pursuing an escaped convict, and no matter how the bad guy tries to escape him (fast cab to an airport, whiz via plane to the opposite coast of the country, race to the top of a mountain peak) Droopy arrives before him, and is waiting for him with a droll "What took you so long?" The comedy comes from the increasingly extreme reactions of the bad guy (the black & white stripes of his prison suit switch to plaid, eyes pop out of his head, a loud "aahh-OOO-gah!" horn sounds). Check 'em out sometime, they're a blast! (And one of the good calls on this odd list).

The Funky Phantom Best reason to check out anime Akira Worst reason to check out anime Pokemon
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Part of the problem with the list is that there's no distinction between a feature animated film vs. cartoon short vs. cartoon character.

In fact, I'd like to borrow it, if I may... Best Cartoon Character Mickey Mouse Best Disney Film During Walt's Life TIE: Pinocchio Dumbo (not the technical giant that Pinocchio was, but I love the look of this film. All the characters felt like they came from the same "world" -- ex: the humans weren't ultra realistic while animals were cartoony.) Best Disney Film After Walt's Life Hunchback of Notre Dame Best Pixar Film Finding Nemo Best Non Pixar CGI Film Ice Age Best Non-Disney 2-D Animated Film The Iron Giant Best Claymation Movie Nightmare Before Christmas Most Underatted Animated film no one talks about Hercules Best Cartoon Shorts Droopy/Screwy Squirrel Best TV Show Futurama Best Terribly Animated Hanna Barbera Show Comedy Division The Jetsons Best Terribly Animated Hanna Barbera Show Action/Adventure Division Johnny Quest Best Terribly Animated Hanna Barbera Show that featured a bunch of teenagers solving a mystery with some wacky dog, car, phantom or whale. Scooby Doo Best reason to check out anime Anime sequence in "Kill Bill Vol. 1" Worst reason to check out anime Speed Racer (not as good as you remember)
Originally Posted By Labuda "Most Underatted Animated film no one talks about Chicken Run" Dude, I LOVE that movie! And, of course, it's a Nick park flick, and he created my beloved Wallace & Gromit
Originally Posted By Labuda "Most Underatted Animated film no one talks about Hercules" SURELY you're not talking about that piece of junk Disney put out where they destroyed the story of Hercules, are you? Cute baby Pegasus, though. Oh, and an acquaintance of mine was the voice of one of the muses - that's pretty cool.
