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

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.

Has anyone nominated Rabbit?

Rabbit - 2005 Run Wrake

Walky Talky Hawky (1946)

Technological Threat (1988)
(this was either used to fill time inbetween shows on nickelodeon in the late 80s or it appeared on liquid television or both)

Birds Anonymous (1957)
(tweety/sylvester .. the part where sylvester goes through withdrawal is pretty great)

I Met The Walrus (2007)

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.

More (1998)

Any marvin the martian stuff nommed?

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?).
