Yahoo users' top animated films

[steve]

Excuse me? Enchanted IS animated,and so is Roger Rabbit,so what if it's also half live action? it's both animated AND live action.

So are the Star Wars prequels, but you don't hear anyone calling them animated features.

Yahoo users' top animated films

There's your reason why this list sucks.

My thoughts exactly!

The Little Mermaid is a film where all the characters are obnoxious to the point you wish Ursula won or that they had followed the original ending?

la la la...

Despite thinking Ursula was scary, I always liked this movie as a child! Now that I see today I think this is one of Disney's best. Even thought it's the weakest of the "fab four" IMO, it still has terrific animation and a very enjoyable story. Plus the characters were all very colorful and almost all of them were likeable! Plus the songs are very good! Ashman and Menken did a great job. I kinda wanted to know why Ursula wanted to keep those merman as weird creatures though. I guess a very stange hobby!

But overall a very good film! 9/10

Don't worry, I'm not picking on you Justin. After all, once upon a time (a very brief time) I actually tolerated the Shrill's voice.

ETA:

OH yeah, and in my search, I think I found the exact moment when the TLM-hatin' started!

Oh gosh ANOTHER LM THREAD!!!!!!

I'm getting so tired of the Little Mermaid threads. I mean we've had like 12 threads about the release of the DVD already! Can't we have a sticky thread that's has a combination of all The Little Mermaid threads made so far Luke?

As for the DVD, I'm not excited as I was 6 months ago, but I'll buy it anyway since it's still a good movie.

We can see, though, that even though Justin was getting tired of TLM, it was still early in the game and he still tolerated it enough to want to buy it.

Excuse me? Enchanted IS animated,and so is Roger Rabbit,so what if it's also half live action?

Enchanted has at most...about 10 minutes of animated footage. Given the fact that the movie's about...an hour and 40-odd minutes, that's nowhere near half unless you were watching a pared-down 20-minute Animator's Edition.

So are the Star Wars prequels, but you don't hear anyone calling them animated features.

Scaps, thank you so much for unearthing that lost page in Justin's history. I must admit his constant dissing of the princess films (which never really consists of a well-thought through argument) is very annoying ... to me at least. He has to be careful, because although I still hold him in a special place in my heart as he was the first UDer ever to reply to my first post, I might consider firing him from his illustrious position.

Excuse me? Enchanted IS animated,and so is Roger Rabbit,so what if it's also half live action? it's both animated AND live action.

Enchanted had what, a little over 10 minutes of animation? Roger Rabbit on the other hand is more comparable to being half animated. Plus the special effects and timing was so fantastic. Where as in Marry Poppins, they danced and sang around with animated characters, Roger Rabbit, they actually interacted with them, physically. When Jessica grabbed Eddie's tie, you felt she was really there. It was worthy of a mention. Enchanted was not. It had less animation than a half hour block of an animated tv show.

Because Cinderella...well, nothing happens in Cinderella that is able to keep up with a normal human's attention span?

define normal human

glad to see cinderella in there

Well,I suppse that Roger Rabbit was more animated because the animated characters were there for the whole movie unlike Enchanted but still,Enchanted is also animated,and Mary Poppins isn't.

[steve]

Enchanted is also animated,and Mary Poppins isn't.

How can you say that? Mary Poppins features scenes that are every bit as animated as Enchanted. What exactly counts as "animated" in your book?

Probably only if it has a princess and an "I Want" song.

ETA: fixed quote tag.

[Ariel'sprince]

How much animated scenes were in this? if just a song then maybe not but I haven't seen this for a long time.
Anyway I"m not sure but it might be animated like Enchanted and Roger Rabbit.

[Dr_Cox]

I think my top animated movies would be

1. The Lion King
2.Beauty and the Beast
3.Finding Nemo
4. The Hunchback of Notre dame
5. A Toss up between Ratatouille/The Jungle Book/ The Simpsons Movie

I don't think The Incrediables should be in the top 15 at least, as it is my second least favourite Pixar movie (after Cars) As for Shrek, it aslo needs booting down a peg or fifty, however at least it's ghastly sequels don't get a look in here (Phew)

As for this interesting debate over Enchanted and Mary Poppins, I personally would say they were more live action, my case would be the Kill Bill movies; where they show the origins of the Lucy Lui character and the killing of her parents, this part is animated, but I wouldn't class the movie as animation.
Anywhos I'll get off my soap box now

Ps Yahoo users needs more love for Snow White the Mother of all animated movies!!!

Stay on it, you've got a great point.

Just because a movie happens to have animated sequences (be it Kill Bill, Mary Poppins, Enchanted, 9 to 5, etc.), it doesn't necessarily make the movie a full-fledged member of the animation medium the way that Snow White, Finding Nemo, or The Nightmare Before Christmas is. Would I consider Reefer Madness (the musical) to be an animated movie just because of 3-5 minute "The Brownie Song"? Hardly.

How much animated scenes were in this? if just a song then maybe not but I haven't seen this for a long time.

From the moment they jump into the chalk picture to the moment it rains and they get out, it's all an animated world: "Jolly Holiday", the dancing penguins, the carousel, the horse race, and of course, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". A good 15-20 minutes, IIRC. Twice as much as Enchanted, the same amount as Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and only half as much as Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Really? I thought animated characters were interacting with live-action ones almost non-stop, so most of the time there was animation going on, so I would count that as being animated. I mena Roger was with his human detective for a lot...and then Jessica...and then that car...?

But I wouldn't put Roger Rabbit or Mary Poppins on a list of best Animated movies, ever. It's not really a full-length animated feature! Okay, I can see an argument for Roger, because there's almost animation non-stop so maybe the animation could be considered "full-length" since even Disney's full-length animated films had live-action storybook opening and ending sequences. But someone must convince me, right now I wouldn't say it should be on any Animated Movies list. It may be left to, after all, if the ones who made it consider it an animated movie or animated feature.

That's the magic of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. It seems like it's non-stop animation, but if you actually compile all the footage that features animation (be it just one character or a whole troupe of them) it adds up to about 40-odd minutes or so, out of the 103 minutes the film runs.

IIRC, one of the reasons that the Roger Rabbit sequel/prequel/second movie never panned out was because Disney wasn't willing to commit to the amount of animation that the movie required (and IIRC, a 5-10 minute "test" sequence they were doing in the late 90s ended up costing as much as the entire 40 minutes back in 1988).

Well, the list got revamped, and most of the good Disney movies went down, Enchanted went up by 3 points, Kung Fu Panda is number 2, and Finding Nemo is still number 1.

The new list is even more laughable than the previous one. I wrote a "Top 30 Animated Films of all time" list for my high school paper a few years back. Only about half of what appears on yahoo's list made mine.

For those who care here is the list:

30. Shrek
29. Howl's Moving Castle
28. Lady and the Tramp
27. The Land Before Time
26. Monsters, Inc.
25. Cinderella
24. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
23. An American Tale
22. Lilo & Stitch
21. Finding Nemo
20. Aladdin
19. Pocahontas
18. The Lion King
17. The Incredibles
16. Kiki's Delivery Service
15. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
14. South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
13. Toy Story
12. The Little Mermaid
11. Spirited Away
10. Dumbo
9. Beauty and the Beast
8. The Nightmare Before Christmas
7. Bambi
6. One Hundred and One Dalmatians
5. Toy Story 2
4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
3. Sleeping Beauty
2. Fantasia
1. Pinocchio

Of course I realize that no list will make anyone completely happy except their own, but I do think my list is at least better than the crap lists Yahoo users keep putting out.

[Ariel'sprince]

Whoa? I"m glad to see Enchanted there but where's Snow White? Alice In Wonderland? Pinocchio? and Pocahontas?.
And why Kung Fu Panda is in the second place? I don't think it will be THAT good,and I think that Snow White should have been insted.

[BelleGirl]

Typical... those Yahoo users don't seem to look much further than the recent releases. Hence Kung Fu Panda is on the list. Why bother about it.

I do like "Finding Nemo" but I think both "Ratatouille"and "Monster's Inc" are better Pixar movies.

[Chernabog_Rocks]

I hate how Enchanted moved up while much more deserving Disney movies moved down

The list will most likely change when Wall E comes out and most likely it will dethrone Nemo if Kung Fu Panda is any indicate at how these people put together the list.

[Ariel'sprince]

Yeah,I guess they are more into recent releases and I also think they"ll change it when WALL-E came.
I just noticed that Sleeping Beauty and Lilo and Stitch aren't in this list too! they"re much more deserve to be there then The Simpsons Movie,all the Mizaki films or Ice Age and other CGI films.
And Finding Nemo is my favorite Pixar movie (And I might like Kung Fu Panda but I haven't seen it) but I don't think it's better then The Little Mermaid or Enchanted and Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are MUCH better then Kung Fu Panda.

[Disney's Divinity]

The only bad thing about these type of lists is that people often have a hard time differentiating "great" from "favorite." Because, while many people might consider Kung Fu Panda a favorite, it will never be a great movie.
