Nominations up through this

Easy enough to remember that I stopped at Kung Fu Panda

A Town Called Panic [Panique au village] (2009)

^^^ this film is hilarious, is 75 minutes long, is streaming on Netflix, is Belgian, and features a vending machine that dispenses giant waffles, among other things. Watch it, vote for it.

(Nom-stanning is ok in this thread as usual I guess)

By the way rules addendum: no video game cutscenes.

while you're here, you got a call on movies that combine live action w animation (roger rabbit, mr limpet, etc)?

The lion the witch and the wardrobe

I OK'd Svankmajer's Alice; I really don't know how to feel about Roger Rabbit. Obviously many animators worked hard on the movie but many animators worked hard on Pirates of the Caribbean too. Let's say that Roger Rabbit and Mr. Limpet get in; I'll continue to case-by-case these based on seekrit algorithms.

xp to contendo

I'm trying to decide if End of Evangelion violates my rules on being just episodes of a series smushed together.

The Secret of Kells

can i just say if any Shrek sequel places in this poll i'll be looking for the culprits with a nail-gun

can i just say if any Shrek sequel places in this poll i'll be looking for the culprits with a nail-gun

well yeah that was my 1st thought

but i will accept people's fondness for it's oh-so-radical initial premise of putting double entendres in a kids' flick

Animalympics
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem

Beavis and Butthead Do America

can i get a ruling on

The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb (1993) ??

I don't get the hatred for Shrek. It's funny, it's touching, it does a remarkable inversion of the sexist Beauty and the Beast myth... Do you really think it's bad because it has maybe three double entendres (which are extra jokes, not its "premise#)? Most animated movies for kids these days have a few mature jokes for adult viewers, so I don't see how Shrek is different?

The second Shrek is still hella funny, though it's more comedic and less sentimental. The third and fourth ones are not very good, on that I agree. Puss in Boots was slightly better, but not worth nominating here.

Some Ladislaw Starewicz :

Miest Kinomatograficheskovo Operatora (The Cameraman’s Revenge)(1911)
Le Rat de Ville et le Rat Des Champs (The Town Rat and the Country Rat) (1926)
Fetiche Mascotte (The Mascot) (1933)
Le Roman de Renard (The Tale of the Fox) (1930–1939) - this was his only feature-length film, all the others listed are shorts

The other Satoshi Kon films have been nominated, but let's not forget Tokyo Godfathers.

Twice Upon a Time.

diff is that shrek might very well be to blame for this awful trend

Tango (Zbigniew Rybczynski, 1981)

xp

it's just kinda crass and shrill and full of unlikeable characters and possibly poisoned by what it influenced later but still doesn't deserve to be placed above even low quality Disney eg never mind all the other stuff

The Tune (Bill Plympton, 1992)
A Colour Box (Len Lye, 1935)

(maybe I shouldn't split the Plympton vote since I Married a Strange Person is already nommed - thanks Tuomas - but eh, there it is)

The Phantom Tollbooth (1970)

Mothlight (1963)

and no doubt lots more Brakhage, that's the one that springs to mind first though.

The Hobbit (1977)

Arabesque (John Whitney, 1975) (worth reading up on, interesting dude)

^ was trying to remember the name of that to nominate earlier! good stuff.

hey silby

brakhage ruling?
