Kung Fu Panda is one where I spent some time reconsidering where to put it in the ballot - it's shiny and corporate and it has a terrible sequel, but on the other hand it's flawless for what it is, it's funny and fat-positive and a great Kung Fu film made by people who clearly love Kung Fu. That trailer, though, is terrible.

Found The Wings of Honnêamise pretty dull tbh, protagonist a tool.

is the sequel terrible? charlie kaufman's involvement gives me certain expectations

8 Ball Bunny -- didn't find a decent YT of this, but damn did I feel the surge of memories, I couldn't believe how much empathy it elicited from me (well, there *is* the cute as hell penguin).

'allegro' is amazing!

Will watch Allegro but I guess I should watch Fantasia first. (Was going to before the poll but didn't manage to get round to it.)

ledge, Friday, 20 July 2012 10:03 (thirteen years ago)

yay allegro! i didn't vote and i figured it wouldn't get in without mine so gj. the valse triste segment still makes me sob just to think about it

the idea that any aardman animation thing belongs on a list of the best anything is so bizarre, to me

thomp, Friday, 20 July 2012 15:53 (thirteen years ago)

I've now got "Animal Farm! Animal Farm!" stuck in my head to the tune of Beethoven's 5th. This is going to take some shaking.

Rango has a fantastic opening but becomes pretty generic afterwards.

I love that illustration/still - I should prob put Jumping on my list, then

wow that's great. shame about the shitty youtube quality though as the drawing looks top-notch.

if you're seriously lazy skip to 5:50 in the gilliam for the crucial section.

ledge, Friday, 27 July 2012 08:11 (thirteen years ago)

Ha, I'm sure I'd already seen that Gilliam somewhere back in the mists of time. Pretty great.

Thank you ILX for sharing these last two films, which I quite very very much enjoyed.

Netflix version is unwatchable, unfortunately.

'kells' is very pretty and kind of breathtaking in spots but the story's kinda not that great IMO.

(The Other) J.D. (J.D.), Wednesday, 1 August 2012 19:57 (thirteen years ago)

The story was fine but the visual style was what really stood out.

Fine animation but I don't get why it started Disney's comeback.

abanana, Wednesday, 1 August 2012 22:23 (thirteen years ago)

It was well enough recieved, which was a pleasant change, but Disney is Back! didn't really start until Beauty and the Beast.

Haven't seen it, but now I'm curious - - What's the deal with the netflix version, exactly?

No idea! I saw it in the theater.

i feel the same. vikings were the best.

Kells was visually lovely and certainly respectable but it lacked even a hint of a pulse.
