25. Lady and the Tramp (1955)
24. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
23. Yellow Submarine (1968)
22. Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! (2008)
21. Kung Fu Panda (2008)
20. Paprika (2007)
19. Tangled (2010)
18. The Lion King (1994)
17. Akira (1988)
16. Happy Feet (2006)
15. Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
14. The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)

I think I would toss The Iron Giant in there somewhere...and maybe Beauty and the Beast.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Wall-E, Up, and Toy Story 3 are all too high (and I like them). I like seeing Tangled on there, even though it's too high for my list. Happy Feet is the only complete joke on it.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

No Brad Bird, period — no Iron Giant, Incredibles, or Ratatouille, that is — just blows my mind.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Yeah, I'd place those 3 above most of those listed.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

The Incredibles should definitely be on the list, and near the top. WALL-E and Up are way overrated.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is another glaring omission.

Overall, I give this list a big :thmbsdwn:

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Horton Hears a Who and Tangled? Are you kidding me?
Sleeping Beauty and Fantasia deserve to be on the list

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

They should have removed the 3 Anime films off and called the list the 25 best english language cartoons. Akira,Spirited Away and Paprika are not even close to being the best anime flicks but they are 3 of the most well known and were just put there for token inclusion.


:thmbsdwn: No Incredibles, Mary and Max,Beauty and the beast,Watership Down and the best of the three Toy Story movies being excluded.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Weird, i've never even heard of Paprika.

But yeah, really weird selections on the list although I was happy to see South Park make it.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Yeah, there's just way too much missing from that list for me to wrap my brain around, and the inclusion of Happy Feet and Horton Hears a Who (and Tangled, though I still like it) over a lot of the stuff already mentioned in this thread is simply coconuts. :lol:

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Toy Story 2, Ratatouille and Beauty and the Beast are the BIG omissions for me. I'm very surprised Bambi wasn't listed as well.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Yeah, I'd have TS2 above both the others. I don't really get the love for Beauty and the Beast though.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

I'd probably include Bug's Life and Winnie-the-Pooh in there somewhere.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Horton Hears A Fucking Who!? Really?

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Iron Giant and Mask of the Phantasm need to be in there.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

I agree with #1 but Dumbo, I mean really?

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

:up: to Spirited Away making the list

:down: to Toy Story, Toy Story 3, no Incredibles and Toy Story 2

Also, Paprika? If we're going off animated feature trailers, sure, actual movie? not so much.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

No Fantasia?

The Lion King probably wouldn't have made my list since I rank it below Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.

Since I think Ratatouille is Pixar's best, naturally I'm not happy to see it excluded. And I concur with the questions about no Toy Story 2 while the others made it. At least if it was just the first one, I could understand.

I actually liked Happy Feet, but I wouldn't have put it on the list.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Grave of the fireflies should be on that joke of a list.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Not a very historically (or geographically) astute list, but it's just someone's personal favorites, so whatever...

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

The Bugs Bunny/Roadunner Movie?? It's just a few of the regular Bugs Bunny cartoons strung together. Sad Iron Giant isn't on there. If Horton's on it, then Giant deserves a spot higher than it.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

No "Secret OF Nimh"?!

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

What do you consider to be some of the best anime flicks? I've never really watched anime but want to check out a couple movies for the August animation challenge.

And a serious thumbs down for not including Iron Giant.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Some of the picks on that list are pretty good but there are a few on there where it seems like he just picked a random popular animated movie that came out recently. I mean come on Horton Hears a Who, Kung Fu Panda, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Happy Feet really belong on a best of all time list? I mean they're decent enough movies but I wouldn't put them on a best of all time list. I'd throw Aladdin on there and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm personally.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

Dumbo is a masterpiece and deserves to be higher.

Re: TIME magazine 25 best animated features of all-time
 

I really got to check out Paprika. I heard about it in the past. But it slipped my mind. Trailer is great.
