2. I love the Iron Giant for several reasons.

It has so many different sides to it, about Communist witch hunting of the 50s and so much more..I saw it in the theaters 7 times..yes 7 times...I didn't figure out the end, till the 4th time. And I love the hippy guy who owns the junk yard..Last..if you watch the characterization of the mom and the young lad, you will see lots of similarities ...Also, directed by Brad Bird, he also did Ratatouille

3. The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb (stop motion), Pas de Deaux (not exactly animation)

and Little Songs of the Chief Officer of Hunar Louse (stop motion) by the Quay Brothers

Oh and Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th centiry

[SeattleVet]

4. Fritz the Cat

'He's X-Rated and Animated'

Saw it in a theater when it first came out and knew that I was seeing something special. I've seen it a few times since; parts of it didn't age well, but overall it still holds up.

17. saw it when i was a young teen (went with my older boyfriend to the theater)

vaguely remember it.

it was naughty!

[RushIsRot]

5. Yellow Submarine - Fantasia - Bambi n/t

[lame54]

6. Chow Hound...

This dog is one mean S.O.B.

Best comeuppance ever

[A HERETIC I AM]

7. Fantasia.....

on some classic, early 80's vintage Columbian Gold.

Or acid.

[LWolf]

8. Mary Poppins is at the top of my list.

A lifelong favorite.

Here are two more:

Fantasia and Up.

16. the husband and i saw up at the drive in when we were dating

i was bawling from the get go and he turns to me and says "it's just a cartoon. why are you crying? "

married him anyway.

[LWolf]

19. Yes.

"Just a cartoon" with a bunch of ridiculously improbable scenarios, all to bring us to what real humans experience. That's what got me; the reality, the pain, the joy, the hope, underneath all the rest.

[bettyellen]

9. The Wrong Trousers - hilarious claymation featuring Wallace and Gromit

[surrealAmerican]

10. My Neighbor Totoro

also, The Triplets of Belleville.

There are others too, that I'll probably remember later.

[sakabatou]

11. Akira, Spirited Away and a few others

[Wolf Frankula]

12. Yellow Submarine, Who Framed Roger Rabbit

(I work with Jessica) and anything with Bugs Bunny.

Wolf

[femmocrat]

13. "Lady and the Tramp" is my all-time favorite.

I love all the Disney full-length classics.

[handmade34]

14. "The Point"

is simple and fun...

Oh and "The Fantastic Mr Fox"

[El Supremo]

15. Pinocchio

None can ever hold a candle to it.

[orleans]

18. don't really care for animation n/t

[kairos12]

20. Coraline.

[WinkyDink]

21. Nothing past my own childhood years of "Snow White," "Cinderella," and "Fantasia."

[sarge43]

22. A few of mine

Shorts:
Anything by Chuck Jones from 1942 (The Dover Boys) onward
Lifted
The Cat Came Back
Bambi Meets Godzilla

Feature length:
Both Fantasias
Ratatouille
Beauty and the Beast
Prince of Egypt
Watership Down
How To Train Your Dragon

[Number9Dream]

23. WALL-E

Terrific animation, funny, and a good story with an environmental message. Plus, "Down to Earth" by Peter Gabriel.

[GOLGO 13]

24. All over the place

1. HEAVY METAL - Euro comics are sure...different.

2. FRITZ THE CAT - Well, I wasn't nearly old enough at the time to have watched that and yet, here we are.

3. AKIRA - Mind offically blown! Hey Japan, WTF?

4. TOKYO GODFATHERS - Great, great fun and everybody gets a happy ending.

5. GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES - Yeah, pretty strong material here. Traumatic is what this is.

6. BLOOD - Kinda short and left a lot for you to figure out on your own. Still, how was this not a bonafide hit?

7. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION: THE END - This is the true 2nd ending with the sick amounts of over the top action/violence and mind fuckery that we demand in our cartoons.

8. SOUTH PARK: UNCUT - One of the few time I've honestly laughed uncontrollably at a theatre. Just crazy, crazy nonsense that delivered.

*Honorable mention to the Ghost in the Shell movies. Just too much jibba-jabba about searching for one's true humanity and not nearly enough shoot-em-in-the face from Major Kusinagi. The major's back story is filled in decades later in the GITS anime series about her being plane crash survivor/orphan.

[Aristus]

25. Fantastic Planet.

[hifiguy]

26. Second on "Duck Amuck"

and also big ups for "Daffy Doodles." ALL of the Chuck Jones Coyote/Road Runner cartoons and the immortal trilogy of "Rabbit Seasoning" "Duck, Rabbit, Duck" and "Rabbit Fire." And pretty much anything Tex Avery directed, though the Screwy Squirrel cartoons, "King Size Canary" and "Bad Luck Blackie" are special favorites of mine.

ETA - Ten Great Screwy Squirrel Moments

27. Donald Duck in Drip Dippy Donald

Bugs Bunny in Long-Haired Hare

Bacall To Arms

http://vimeo.com/106228403


As a J.R.R. Tolkien nut, I loved the Ralph Bakshi animated version of Lord Of The Rings from 1978. It was an ambitious effort and Bakshi ran out of money and the last portion has production problems. But I found it visually stunning for its time.

[Stuart G]

28. I am familiar with Bacall to Arms..It is lots of fun

1946.. I think and Bugs is working in a restaurant, and Loran Bacall and Bogart come into the place and see what happens..

[Art_from_Ark]

29. The Wind in the Willows (with Vanessa Redgrave and the voice of Michael Palin)

The Aristocats
101 Dalmatians
Lady and the Tramp
Mary Poppins
The Little Mermaid
Yellow Submarine

And probably hundreds of shorts, including nearly all episodes of Bullwinkle, Snagglepuss, Bugs Bunny, Aesop & Son, Alvin, George of the Jungle, Super Chicken, Foghorn Leghorn, Hillbilly Bears, Precious Pup, Space Ghost, Tennessee Tuxedo, the Flintstones, the Jetsons, etc., etc.
