Which one is your #1



Does it have something to do with the nintendo game?

Oh, I just read this: , so my choice for disney classics are out

I've probably watched it at least once a month for the past 20 years. Still have the original VHS (two copies), too.



Yep. Honestly, it may just be the best video game adaptation ever, at least by how like the game it really is.

BJs Top 10:

1. Spirited Away
2. Howl's Moving Castle
3. The Fantastic Mr. Fox
4. Coraline
5. Mulan
6. Persepolis
7. The Emperors New Groove
8. Lilo and Stitch
9. Tangled
10. Surfs Up

I thought this thread was non-Disney too?!?


(If it isn't, it should be.)

Persepolis tied with Spirited Away. Can't choose.

I forgot to add Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole to my list of favorites - - a seriously underrated movie.

(BTW, I would rate it as having one of the worst film titles of all time. I can never remember it, it's confusing, and far too long.)

I don't see why. Pixar is very much its own institution with, for better or worse, its own authorial voice. Same for DreamWorks' in-house animation studio.

I don't see any reason films such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Chicken Little, A Christmas Carol, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Valiant should be ineligible simply because they have a corporate tie to Pixar via Disney.

Disney is still a powerhouse of animation - - it could easily have it's own thread separate from Pixar and Dreamworks.

Imho, including it takes the meager remaining spotlight away from the smaller animation houses.

Your claim isn't borne out by the thread, though. For example, I see several references to Persepolis and Studio Ghibli films.

It's your thread, but then that's a very sad statement about current plight of Disney animation.


(BTW, Valiant (a very underrated film), was only distributed in the US by Disney - - it's a Vanguard Animation production.)

The Emperor's New Groove, Mulan and Lilo & Stitch are so good.

Agree, it's a wonderful film and soooo underrated



Correct, despite of its flops, disney is still seen as the animation kingdom, when people hear about a new animated film, the first thing they do is associate it to disney, that only shows how powerful the studio is

I wouldn't count Christmas Carol or Tin Tin as animated; they were motion capture. You'll note that the Academy doesn't consider those animated either.

I disagree. I have no problem categorizing those pictures as animated. Golden Age Disney animators almost always used real actors and footage of real animals as a reference. This is just an evolved form of an age-old animation practice.

The Academy also deems indie films released on demand before theatres ineligible. But they're still films.

The animators who vote on "Best Animated Film" certainly don't consider them animated, as no motion capture film has ever been nominated.

Would you call what Andy Serkis did in Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Adventures of Tintin acting?

Because no motion-capture performance has been nominated for an acting Oscar.

Emperor's New Groove
Spirited Away

In terms of non-Disney anything, Anastasia is kind of dear to my heart. Or maybe it's just this song
