What are your favorite animated movies?

[Karl Foster]

While this has probably been discussed before, I thought I'd ask the question again.

What are your top animated movies?

For me it is (in no particular order):

1. Hercules
2. Monster's Inc.
3. Mulan
4. Shrek
5. Beauty & the Beast
6. The Fox & The Hound
7. The Lion King
8. A Bug's Life
9. Fantasia & Fantasia 2000
10. Mickey & The Beanstock

That's a lot of Disney movies (nine of the ten), but for the most part, their animated movies are a cut above the other studios IMHO.

Steve, Have you ever seen "Heavy Metal" (with the Original Music) or to a lesser extent "American Pop". Give them a look, they may turn you into an Animation Fan???

[Steve Mehs]

I never heard of those two movies before

I liked the Disney movies that came out in the 80's and 90's. Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas etc.

My favourites from recent movies are Shrek, Toy Story and Ice Age.

American Pop

These were made in the early 80s, so they are regular animation not digital or anything. Pretty much everyone I grew up with saw "Heavy Metal" loved it.

It should be available for Rental, this movie made me want to go out and see other animated movies like "American Pop".

In both of these movies, the Music can make or break it for you?

If you are a fan of animation, I highly recommend Heavy Metal DVD. It includes both the theatrical version of the film as well as a "work print" version of the film showing animation in the various stages.

[gcutler]

But do not mistakely get "Heavy Metal 2000", YECH!!!

[TNGTony]

gculter, Beat me to the punch. Heavy Metal 2000 was terrible! But the original is still among my favorite movies.

Favorite animated flicks in no particular order:

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Shrek
The Lion King
Akira (pronounced Ahh-kihra, not Ah-kee-ra)
The 9 Lives of Fritz the Cat
Heavy Metal
American Pop

See ya

Sleeping Beauty 1959 Walt Disney. Spectacular background animation in medieval style.

[Mark Holtz]

Sometime in March, BV will release a "Vista" version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in both WS and Full Frame. On my "to buy" list.

Unfortunately, Nick Parks movies don't fit in this category, because they are super.

Monster's Inc. by far. Watching it on a 100" image from a progressive scan DVD player into an HD DLP projector is AWESOME!
