Animated Creatures: ilx animation poll nomination thread (closes June 10th!)

my ballot feels like it's going to be 70% shorts atm, lol

watched a ton of those Disney shorts recently, pretty much all the ones from 1938 on with Goofy, Donald and Mickey are aces

did you already cover Clockcleaners? and the one where Goofy excercises?

omg the exercising Goofy one is A+, I forgot about that

In my dim hazy memory I know there are at least two different shorts (not sure of the studios involved) that involve a lion roaring over and over again in the jungle -- one of them wasn't all that imo, but the other one was so hysterically funny I was on the edge of wetting my pants. I haven't seen either of them in at least 30 years, but if I run across the funny one, it's definitely going on my ballot.

L-a-a-a-a-a-ambert, the sheepish lion

dunno if it's really hysterically funny, but it's good. and involves roaring.

WmC, you may be referring to Tex Avery's "The Slap Happy Lion."

Okay fuckit I'm repping for this

Little Hiawatha (1937)
http://youtu.be/4MUuDFeoyvM

It was a favorite when I was little, and I watched it expecting to cringe but it's p cute imo. Unless you object to tiny bottoms, lol

xpost - I think you're right!

Lonesome Ghosts (1937), in which Mickey, Goofy and Donald were Ghostbusters before there was such a thing. Goofy actually says, "I ain't a-scared of mo ghosts!"

<3 <3 another one I had forgotten!

Just checking the spreadsheet of nominations and noticed that 'Toy Story 2' is missing from it. It was nominated upthread by remy bean.

right you are; fixed. Been a while since I updated that, will do so by the end of the weekend.

well hey I did it now cuz why not

nominations are updated, some filmographic data still incomplete.

I have 348 nominations so far, which is pretty sweet. Keep them coming!

Totally rando correction: G.I. Joe: The Movie is '87, not '97. I'd hate to see that error compromise its surefire top five status.

one mentioned upthread that hasn't made it onto the list: The Cat Came Back

Also, no love for Gilliam? I'll nominate Storytime (1968). Includes the excellent A Christmas Card, from 5:50

i already started working on my ballot (lol) and i didnt even hesitate to make this no. 1. though when i started watching warner bros shorts again in earnest i started wobbling a little.

I thought Chico and Rita (Fernando Trueba & Javier Mariscal, 2010) had been nominated, but seems to have been overlooked.

The full movie's on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJMjStsOkjA.

i fucked that one up lol

someone did

is it worth nominating any of the futurama movies? I just rewatched bender's big score and thought, nah.

Un autre: Gandahar, aka Light Years, 1988, René Laloux. Same guy as Fantastic Planet, more traditional animation, more ideas, better story.

God, what am I thinking. Gantz Graf, Alex Rutterford, 2002.

One poll in which I will NOT vote for Autechre.

Maybe shouldn't be adding more Popeyes, as vote-splitting may render his chances of placing more minute, but I was watching last night and these are particularly fab:

Brotherly Love (1936)
http://youtu.be/pWGYDfijwDE

Bridge Ahoy (1936)
http://youtu.be/iE45kpSf5ws

Just watching Madagascar, 2005, Eric Darnell/Tom McGrath. If a panda can get a nomination then lemurs deserve one too imo.

Hmm it's pretty annoying tho

kung fu panda 2008 btw, not 2011. think that may've been the second one.

Just took kids to Madagascar 3 yesterday. It is not any kind of great, and I wouldn't nominate it much less vote for it, BUT it does have pretty amazing set pieces. Action scenes in digital animation these days can be pretty mindblowing.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

I am an unbiased poll administrator but that is a terrible movie.

It is not. Mike Mignola is incapable of producing anything of less than stellar quality, which reminds me:
The Amazing Screw-On Head (2006)

Hope it's eligible, it's a TV pilot of a series that never got picked up.

Nominations over!

Voting thread and updated nomination list mañana

Dang, I was gonna nominate:

Mindscape/Le Paysagiste (1976)
http://youtu.be/6Q9sY9Ti1DI

Gorgeous NFB Canada pinscreen animation. NFB probably underrepresented in general (did anyone nominate any Richard Condie?).
