I'm so glad Mind Game was nominated! I didn't notice the threads in time to vote, but I would have placed it very high.

Not that I'm expecting to see it in the remaining list. Will you post the runner-up stats at the end?
― Dan I., Wednesday, 9 January 2013 07:40 (eleven years ago) link
I can probably do that yeah

i saw fantastic planet on abbbbotttt's suggestion and it would have topped my ballot had i voted (i don't know enough about animation to vote). i also picked up an original LP of the soundtrack a few months ago. score!
― Z S, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, the soundtrack is amazing. I *still* haven't managed to see the whole thing, though.

i went to this show in philly once and they were projecting fantastic planet onto the wall of the warehouse it was p trippy
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
Haha, I went to a show in Nottingham where they were doing that too. Pretty much how I've seen most of the bits of it that I have.

Feel like now is the time to mention that if I were voting all over again, ParaNorman would get lots of points.
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Thursday, 10 January 2013 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
Laika took their Coraline experience and made ParaNorman and it was just completely stellar technically. The art direction, stop-motion, VFX, and even the 3D were just world fucking class. And the plot was killer and surprisingly dark and the characters were all delightful.
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Thursday, 10 January 2013 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
Loved it, though the climax could have used less telling and more showing. Like I got what was happening a good three minutes before Norman had finished explaining it.

― 乒乓, Thursday, 10 January 2013 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
Overrated. Coraline is better IMO.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Thursday, 10 January 2013 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
I thought the plot of ParaNorman was pretty much the weakest part, the 'twist' was pretty clear from early on once you start treating it as the Tim Burton film it clearly is.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 10 January 2013 19:44 (eleven years ago) link
well I guess it wasn't the plotting per se that impressed me as the themes the plot touched on, especially the parallel drawn between Norman's issues and mental illness/LD.
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:16 (eleven years ago) link
also I went in sort of expecting the movie to be lots of wandering around talking to theme-park ghosts of various flavors (civil war, sad teen, amelia earhart) so that it had a much more interesting story to tell (not just a zany adventure w/ ghosts) was pleasing to me
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Thursday, 10 January 2013 23:18 (eleven years ago) link

I just want to say that the Toy Story screenshot is my favorite.
― sunn o))) dude (Leee), Friday, 11 January 2013 05:21 (eleven years ago) link
One more random note: Ghost in the Shell is probably the only anime in which I don't feel weird/slumming settling with the English dub (possibly because this is one of the first animes I ever watched).
― sunn o))) dude (Leee), Friday, 11 January 2013 05:34 (eleven years ago) link
Should probably watch Coraline and, apparently, ParaNorman. Roger Rabbit I'm guessing remains great fun. Toy Story the weakest of the franchise - Sid is an actively uncompelling villain - and most of its charm comes from the fact that it's your introduction to all of the frankly wonderful characters, not least the claw game aliens <3 <3 <3

Anime is one thing I quite like watching dubbed, subtitles can distract from the pretty pictures a bit.

i'm the complete opposite, mainly due to how poor the dubs are though

I might be the only one who likes W&G's feature length movie better than any of their shorts.
― Zero Dark 33⅓: The Final Insult (Eric H.), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
Top 10 in no particular order.

― trey songza (some dude), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:26 (eleven years ago) link
Spirited Away probably #1
― Mordy, Friday, 11 January 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
was that even nominated? were muppets movies fair game too? xp
― trey songza (some dude), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
Actually I'd expect Corpse Bride and Beauty and the Beast to place by now, probably something more leftfield like Antz or Cowboy Bebop. Would be surprised to see Team America in top 10, but more so not making top 100.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
Those puppet things weren't nominated, were they? I certainly fucking hope not! (speaking as a lurking nonvoter)
― Faster than food (Myonga Vön Bontee), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:31 (eleven years ago) link

Aladdin has to have made it right?
― contrarian, zing thyself (cajunsunday), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
Snow White was #33. Not sure if 'Team America' was nominated now. Just realised that #1 is going to be 'Iron Giant'. 'Triplets of Belleville' must have a shout at the top 10 too.
― fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
oops, missed snow white placing already
― Mordy, Friday, 11 January 2013 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
some unsurprising recency bias in these results, at least when looking at rank order.
― autistic boy is surprisingly good at basketball (silby), Friday, 11 January 2013 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
The Wrong Trousers really is wonderful
― Number None, Friday, 11 January 2013 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
Actually #14 #12 and #11 are all films I expected to see in the top 10!
I actually think Toy Story 2 might be the fourth-placed Pixar film, which is really fucked up.
Totoro, Spirited Away, Akira to come surely.
Aladdin & Beauty and the Beast are the remaining Disney princesses, I have no reading on the whole genre, so I don't know if it'd be more of a travesty to appear this much higher than the others, or not at all.
Iron Giant maybe, Belleville certainly not.
Aaand a few shorts? I will speculate What's Opera Doc? and Duck Amuck, because that's what I voted for.
Write in vote for Bully For Bugs at #1 :)
