DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum Yahoo Ranked Top 30 Animated Movies of all time.

Here is Yahoo user's ranking of the Top 30 animated movies of all time. Obviously some "recent film" and "3D movie" bias here. (Finding Nemo over Lion King??)



30. Bambi
The list starts with this woodland Disney classic that probably would have ranked higher if those hunters had not traumatized generations of young viewers.

29. The Jungle Book
In the last animated movie Walt Disney personally supervised, he threw out much of the story from Rudyard Kipling’s original book. Of course, today, people mostly remember the great songs, like The Bare Necessities.

28. Sleeping Beauty
This Disney feature tells the timeless fable about fairies, handsome princes, a witch who turns into a genuinely scary dragon, and narcoleptic royalty.

27. Over the Hedge
DreamWorks’ take on those cute critters rooting around in your garbage, with very funny vocal performance from Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, and Steve Carell.

26. The Simpsons Movie
A misadventure about the Simpson family told on an epic scale complete with mutant squirrels, President Schwarzenegger and the freakish death of the band Green Day.

25. Ice Age: The Meltdown
Blue Sky studios continues the adventures of Manny, Sid, Diego and especially Scrat who wants nothing more than to protect his prized acorn.

24. Ice Age
The first installment of America’s favorite prehistoric furballs. Yahoo users preferred the original to the sequel, if just barely. How will the third movie fare when it opens next year?

23. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Walt took a big gamble on the first-ever animated feature and scored big. You can thank Disneyland and half the films on this list to Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy and the rest.

22. Howl’s Moving Castle
This is the first of three movies on the list by Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki. This one features a wizard who turns into a bird, a sentient scarecrow and a ramshackle walking fortress.

21. Mulan
To save her dad, Mulan dresses like a boy, befriends a tiny dragon, and thwarts the dreaded White Huns. And what are you doing for Father’s Day?

20. Peter Pan
Walt Disney retells J.M. Barrie’s tale of pirates, lost boys, pixies, and ticking crocodiles.

19. Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who
Number nineteen of the list by Yahoo!
Is a movie called “Horton Hears a Who.”

18. Lady and the Tramp
This Disney tale made two dogs and a plate of spaghetti unforgettably romantic.

17. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
This spooky story about why Halloween and Christmas really shouldn’t mix is the highest rated (and only) stop-motion animated film on the list.

16. Princess Mononoke
Giant wolves, round-headed village sprites, and an otherworldly forest god populate the strange and beautiful world of this film by Miyazaki.

15. Cinderella
A servant girl turns into a princess with the help of singing mice, pumpkin-powered carriages and some seriously impractical footwear.

14. The Little Mermaid
By returning to the formula of a plucky heroine, a devious villain, a stalwart romantic interest, and endlessly hummable tunes, the Disney animation legacy was reborn.

13. Enchanted
Sure, only the first ten minutes or so of this film is actually animated, but according to Yahoo! Users, that’s enough to end up on the list.

12. Shrek 2
Shrek meets his in-laws, battles a sword-wielding kitten, turns human, and realizes he’s lovable just the way he is in the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.

11. Cars
An anthropomorphized automobile that learns the good life is not found in the fast lane in the first (but certainly not last) Pixar movie on this list.

10. Monsters, Inc.
For all the kids scared of the creepy shadows in their closet, Pixar throws open the door to show them those monsters really just want to make them laugh.

9. Spirited Away
This beautiful and mysterious Miyazaki movie features a supernatural bath house, stink spirits, and a white dragon. It’s also highest-grossing Japanese film in history.

8. Aladdin
Robin Williams steals the show as the fast-talking, three-wish granting genie, paving the way for boom in celebrity voice actors as seen in Shrek, Toy Story, and Monsters, Inc.

7. Beauty and the Beast
Brainy young village girl + very hairy Prince Grumpy = fairytale romance. This is the first, and thus far only, animated movie ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.

6. Toy Story
Pixar’s – and the world’s – first full-length computer animated movie was a breakthrough in technology. But it’s on this list because it’s simply a great movie.

5. Ratatouille
Rats generally shouldn’t be anywhere near a kitchen, much less plating a dish. But who could pass up a meal made by rodent chef extraordinaire Remy?

4. Shrek
The movie that put DreamWorks Animation on the map and made Shrek the most famous green character since Kermit the Frog.

3. The Incredibles
Oscar-winning director Brad Bird would like to remind you that a family that uses their superpowers to fight crime together, stays together.

2. The Lion King
Think of this wildly popular Disney tale as an animated nature show, only with more singing and dancing and less hunting and devouring.

1. Finding Nemo
Yahoo! users choose this as the greatest animated film of all time, and it’s no wonder. By telling a universally human story in an entirely invented world, Pixar illustrates exactly what makes animation special.

Aladdin should be number one.

Lion King would be a close second.

Finding Nemo was good, but I don't know if it would even be in my top 5.

Yeah that's gotta be for kids only because I don't know how Pink Floyds "The Wall" didn't make the top 30.....

- I liked Cars and Aladdin

You know that the list is flawed when Walt Disney's "Fantasia" isn't even listed.

Like I said ... heavily biased towards 3D and recent films. Of course, that's what you get when *users* vote. It's always "what have you done for me lately". There was an ESPN poll where users voted Giants over Patriots as the greatest game of all-time ... over USA vs USSR.

And Kash, I'm not even sure Finding Nemo would make my top 30. I thought Cars, Toy Story I & II, Ratatouille, and Incredibles were all better than that.

finding nemo definitely #1,

i also liked cars, my second blu ray purchase. vroom vroom

i like their explanation for Bambi being so low on the list.

Where is Fritz the Cat?

You know what's funny ... Peter Pan. It's so outdated now! My daughter watched it the other day, and I didn't even notice how politically incorrect it is these days. First you've got helpless girls that fawn all over Peter who seems pretty sexist. Then they use every negative term and stereotype about Indians, including a song called, "What makes the red man red?"

you obviously havent watched an episode of Tom and Jerry lately.

some good stuff there.

I dont understand how we have become desensitized to gore, violence and sex.

but a cartoon cat cant shoot a mouse with a shotgun go figure

There is like 5 or 6 on this list I have never even heard of.

Wizards

I have seen almost all of them and I think Ice Age got screwed.. I liked that movie.

I haven't seen all of them. I will say I loved Nemo, and Bambi scarred me for life.

I loved Bambi. It's in my blood to deer hunt. Nemo and Shrek should both be at the top. I also loved Peter Pan. I used to watch that all the time.

How did "Horton hears a who" make the list, and not "Land before time"

#9 Spirited Away was a really good movie.

Aladdin drove circles around those movies...

Toy Story was better than Nemo. I wasn't much of a Nemo fan personally.

Then again I haven't liked Pixar's stuff besides Toy Story and Cars.

Here's my rough top 20 in the order I'd prefer to watch them if given the choice between two of them.

1. Beauty and the Beast
2. Aladdin
3. Lion King
4. The Little Mermaid
5. Shrek 2
6. Toy Story 2
7. Cinderella
8. Cars
9. Ratatouille
10. Mulan
11. Toy Story
12. Shrek
13. Sleeping Beauty
14. Pinocchio
15. Snow White
16. Incredibles
17. The Jungle Book
18. Ice Age
19. Peter Pan
20. Lady and the Tramp

(Oops ... I messed up the original post)

Crap! They didn't South park in there!

#9 Spirited Away was a really good movie.

I know, a lot of people don't seem to know it. Looking at that list, my favorites would be The Incredibles and Spirited Away. Mulan too.

Somebody said something about Land Before Time, and that captivated many young kid's hearts. At least mine.

What about the 3 Caballeros with Donald Duck

"Ghost in a Shell...Solid State Society" is way better then any of those Disney and Dreamworks movies. The original one was pretty good also.

Which just goes to prove many Yahoo users are on drugs

No "Twice Upon a Time"? What the hell?!

I haven't seen all of those BB, but the ones I have seen are hard to argue with.

But Princess Mononoke should be up there in the top 12 or so...

Oh and by the way, Enchanted was terrible. Especilly the message to young women that if you're succesful in you career and have a mind of your own, your fioncee will dump you for a witless airhead with no life skills 8 years your junior.

Would Final Fantasy count as animated?

I've never seen Princess Mononoke. Looks like something I need to pick up.

And I just realized that I have Peter Pan on there twice. LOL!

Toy Story is the only one on the list that I've seen. Animation and musicals are not high on my list off favorites. The one film I am surprise to not find listed is Happy Feet, heck I even took my lady friend (now wife) to that once they put it out on IMAX.

Crap! I forgot Happy Feet. Well, that goes on my list, but the 2nd instance of Peter Pan is off. I might even have to numbers around a bit as I'd put Happy Feet somewhere inthe middle of that list.

Happy Feet would definately be top 25, and Bambi 2 would also make the top 25!
