Animated Creatures: ilx animated film voting thread (polls close TUESDAY JULY 3RD, 8 PM EDT)

0357 Un autre: Gandahar

ok this was only me being stupid, it's just called Gandahar.

done a quick tot up and i've already got 25 on my ballot, plan on trying to catch up on as many more as possible over the next couple of weeks.

on Plympton features: The Tune is the only one I've seen but it's great (however also spuriously tangents off to incorporate some of his shorts)

Also I can't believe I didn't know until now that the W&G stories were co-written by the author of The Claws of Axos / The Sontaran Experiment / The Hand of Fear!

First two were Park alone. But the ears on robot Preston in A Close Shave are a tip-off about the co-author.

Do you have a source for that? IMDB reckons otherwise.

spuriously tangents off to incorporate some of his shorts

I think (not 100% sure) they were always intended to be part of The Tune but Plympton released some scenes as shorts ahead of time to raise money to finish the film. It does feel a little disjointed but that's the series-of-musical-numbers nature of it I guess. I love it, btw.

Anyway The Tune and I Married A Strange Person are great, I didn't care for Hair High at all (standard new-kid-in-high-school plot moves slowly with occasional bursts of gross-out slapstick which, I know, is what you expect from a Plympton film, but it just didn't really gel for me), and I haven't seen anything else. Has anyone seen any others?

(actually I'm overspeaking, it doesn't claim he wrote A Grand Day Out, which was Nick Park's student film)

support people repping for specific WB (& Disney, if there are any) shorts in this thread if dodgy youtube links are available

RE: WB - following is a url w/ links (YouTube & otherwise) to all nommed Loony Tunes, Merrie Melodies & misc. related shorts: http://shorttext.com/ZoEp0F7

list is pretty lolhueg, so I chose not to post YT links individually. i tried to be thorough, but I imagine I may have missed a few.

Feel free to vote and rep for un-nommed films

Ah, brilliant. I figured with the ID tag system that this was a no-go. Now, of course, I'll forget the ones I was bemoaning the absence of yesterday...

No fear, I am adaptable.

Thanks. I tend to not notice these polls until dire circumstances. I will enjoy watching animation films I've never seen before because of this poll

(actually I'm overspeaking, it doesn't claim he wrote A Grand Day Out, which was Nick Park's student film)

yeah I was also hallucinating another short between Grand Day Out and Wrong Trousers. in other news, holy crap how did he get so good so fast?

i started watching a bunch last night... a lot of these are really scary and/or depressing.

so far it's looking like my ballot will prolly be leaning more towards 50s/60s/70s/80s stuff...

bump because this fell off new answers so quick i didn't know voting had begun

ok cool, i submitted something... i hope i'm not the only one lmao

only one so far! I need to vote at some point probably…

let's get some votes!

i keep intending to find an evening before i vote to sit down and watch a ton of the clips from the other thread. too busy tho so far

i'm the only one?!?!?

yeah :( probably should've picked an earlier deadline just so's people would do their last minute ballots sooner!

this thread needs some links to get people excited........... i forgot how to post youtube without embedding

using the youtu.be links works…I really ought to have harvested links to shorts from the nomination thread (there are lots of links to the nominations in the nomination thread!) but I didn't have quite that level of commitment to copy-pasting things.

I would encourage anyone with the time to please watch the Sally Cruikshank films, Quasi at the Quackadero and Make Me Psychic. They're something like Fleischers done in the seventies, with music by R. Crumb's backing band and mostly animated (over a period of years) by Cruikshank alone. Particularly with the former, there's something richly nostalgic going on amidst all the weird cartoon geekery in the carnivalesque encounters with possible pasts and futures, huckster'd or otherwise. Make Me Psychic increases the pace does better in terms of sheer goofy cartooniness without going into hyperdrive like the remarkable but sort of opaque Face Like a Frog (1987).

Logorama kinda rules..

I found "Augusta Feeds Her Child" though I don't remember it having this terrible music.

There's no way I'll have time to vote after tonight, so I've thrown together a rushed, conventional ballot. Everybody vote!

Got my shortlist down to 60. I suspect that Chuck Jones is going to suffer from vote splitting.

No nomination for Luxo Jr!

Due to work hilarity I'm off tomorrow - accepting any recommendations for non MM / LT stuff to watch.

Also a reminder that you should all watch The Wrong Trousers if you have a spare 30 minutes and would like to vote for the winner.

so wait there's no simple alphabetized list of all the nominations?

oh ok sweet

Voting may be extended, by the way, due to a family situation. But to be safe get those ballots in!

just some corrections

0007 Adventures of Tin-Tin: The Search for the Unicorn

I assume this is the Spielberg joint? The Secret of the Unicorn.

0196 Kung Fu Panda 2011 Mark Osborne & John Stevenson

2008.

ok whoa i just realized that that is the same mark osbourne that made "More". holy shit

people should def check out "More", also "street of Crocodiles" by the brothers quay

silby - sry to be a zero-hour dude this time around, but I'm afraid its looking like that will be the case. Are you taking ballots through tomorrow night & into the wee hours on Saturday, or does this shit need to be in by midnight, etc. what what?

Do what you feel; I am gonna be super preoccupied this weekend so results could well be delayed till the middle of next week. Don't agonize about the deadline.

Do you have a respectable # of ballots so far?

Plz bump this thread every hour until deadline cause i really want to do a ballot but if it's not at the top of new answers i'm gonna forget (i'm too preoccupied atm)

what did your last slave die of?

obv compiling my ballot or it would be done by now

haha

ok

bump

xp It hadnt occured to me these might not receive a whole lot of attention, but yeah, The Wrong Trousers and Creature Comforts IMO... http://youtu.be/P3AAdkfiamU

Wait no I just saw this! EXTEND EXTEND EXTEND

Am unlikely to get to processing votes before Tuesday, so consider this a soft extension.

the third movie listed on the nominations page is actually a television show...

Nom is for the original short as produced for an anthology show and made popular on YouTube.

as usual i half-assed it but got the ballot in
(7) Pixar Flicks
(15) Disney classic animation
(5) Miyuzaki
(4) post-Disney Don Bluth
(2) Bill Melendez flicks

7 disney, 7 studio ghibli, 7 pixar, 3 or 4 WB, 0 rankin/bass

Xp "adventure time" refers to the original short than was shown on nickelodeon around 2006/2007 .. they didn't start the series until 2010

I regret not getting around to refreshing my memory of the classic WB shorts in time to vote for them!

2nd Ghost in the Shell = actually the worst thing I have sat through in the cinema.

(I'm aware this is probably not challops)

aside from being really confusing, i thought it was pretty great. the animation was amaz!

Soooooo. Is this happening? Or did it happen and I missed it?

it will happen soon! I'll post a link to the results thread in here when I make it. Sorry for delays and such, my life has taken an unexpected turn to the busy.

Come back silby. :(

I wanna but man I just started working full time this week, it's terrible timing. :(

take your time imo. ilx is not starving for polls or anything.

Yeah, full-time work is awful. (Congrats!)

I was on vacation and didn't vote :(

you might get lucky if you try to squeeze one in. you might not though?

yeah I dunno, don't wait up for me. feel like it would be an injustice to just throw a random list together

(Would it be a hassle to resubmit mine?)

i'm going to try to squeeze one in

submissions at this point or resubmissions must be sure to include the id #s i gave the films to assist rapid tabulation.

To anyone getting impatient - remember these things take time
