idk that's like considering Tom the protagonist of Tom & Jerry films, or Elmer Fudd.
Lilo & Stitch way way too low, obv.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 28 December 2012 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
Wait, which one's Tom and which Jerry? Anyway, I considered the mouse the protagonist, at least!

I think Tom & Jerry and Roadrunner both do kind of interesting things with the protagonist/bad guy formula, but I am not really going to claim expertise here since folks here have voted for single episodes whereas I'd struggle to single out any.
But as a kid I always thought it was pretty evenly spread out whether you felt sorry for Tom or Jerry (though I am a crazy cat lady so I bring my own special variety of insanity bias), and while Wile E. is more obviously a Bad Guy he's more or less the focus of the show while Roadrunner doesn't do anything interesting except dash through making annoying noises and foiling plans - I mean maybe you don't exactly root for WEC, there's nothing about RR as a character to root for - whether you are invested in the coyote or the coyote's comeuppance, he is the character
(Wacky Races does this too, I guess, and probably many other things. anyway, like I said, it's been a while, so this may all be crazy talk. also pls excuse typos as I am too lazy to go and look for my glasses)

maybe daffy duck is a character who is more neatly placed right in the middle of the protagonist/antagonist continuum?

I should see that again - I definitely haven't seen it since the 80s, and it's pretty hazy. Same story with Bambi, Snow White, all the classics really.

yeah i rewatched pinocchio a few years ago and found parts of it horrifying. can't really remember which parts though, besides when i was thinking about how much it would suck to turn into a donkey forever just for a little boozing and smoking.
semi-inspired by this thread i watched grave of the fireflies last night, now that's what i call horrifying. but also beautiful. the scene with the fireflies inside their mosquito net especially. in my retroactive vote for this poll i put it top 10 somewhere i guess.

Lion King placing higher than Pinocchio is straight up travesty.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Monday, 31 December 2012 21:27 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I watched Lion King on a plane last year and I don't think it's held up that well. The animation still looks great, and there's some good songs, but the basic plot is hackneyed and IMO a bit rushed in the key places - Simba's growing-up has to happen basically all at once. Plus I think all the blood-as-destiny "true king" type stuff is on the dicey side, and Timon and Pumbaa are sort of the harbingers of all Dreamworksian fart joke animation.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 31 December 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
the basic plot is Hamlet iirc but on the other hand I don't really buy it
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Monday, 31 December 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
I definitely don't think it's fair to blame the crimes of Dreamworks Animation on Timon & Pumbaa though!

i don't get why all the animals work for the lions
― Mordy, Monday, 31 December 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's definitely Kimba + Hamlet except instead of tragic dithering, Hamlet's just kind of a sulky responsibility-shirking teen...who then suddenly isn't, and saves the day! Guilt trip angle from his childhood buddy turned sweetheart is okay as far as it goes but I still feel like there's a missing step on his journey. And yeah, the politics bug me.

― Chris S, Monday, 31 December 2012 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
Glad to see Millennium Actress and hope it isn't the last Kon. Personally I found Paprika his weakest film, it felt too much like a "typical anime" despite the amazing visuals.
