Posted: 6/4/08 at 2:14pmI remember enjoying EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE too. Patrick Warburton's voice performance is one of my favorites.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 2:28pmI thought I was the only one who found Emperor's New Groove fun and terribly underrated.

I'll agree with you on The Incredibles, Weez.
And The Emperor's New Grove is hilarious.

that list was a joke. truly a joke. i mean toy story at #1?
yes it was a cute movie and a wonderful computer animated film but nothing beats the old fashioned hand drawn ink & paint animated features.
beauty and the beast needs to rank higher. it was the only animated feature nominated for a best picture oscar.
i also agree that sleeping beauty was grossly omitted. that film is like watching a beautiful museum painting come to life. the craftsmanship in that film is awe inspiring.

I'm glad they omitted SLEEPING BEAUTY, and wish they'd omitted that CINDERELLA thing, too. I agree about TOY STORY being #1, though, what was that about?
As for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, well, it never did work for me. I much prefer PINOCCHIO, or even TOY STORY, or even SOUTH PARK. Seen BEAUTY a few times, it is just way too cute for me.

I tend to think of FANTASIA as in a class by itself.
And the ranking of SHREK at all, much less at number three, is yet another example of my complete disconnect with the norm.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 4:26pmI forgot about Shrek. Yes, I am one of the few that did not enjoy it. Heck, Puss in Boots was the only good character from the second film. Pinocchio and the Gingerbread guy were annoying and stupid.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 4:38pmI actually enjoyed Shrek, but it should not be that high.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 9:25pmThis is a good list, we shouldn't forget about Disney's classics.

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE, SHREK, and THE INCREDIBLES have no business being up there.
I'm glad to see THE IRON GIANT on there.
ANASTASIA, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, and PETER PAN are missing.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I wanted to put Hoppity on my list too. But it didn't quite make it. Still, it's a childhood favorite of mine. I even bought the DVD!
I love the score to Hoppity by Frank Loesser! Great songs.
