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.

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 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.

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

Kells left me completely wrecked at the end, tears streaming down my face.

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.

SD and herky-jerky.

blargh! Well, I'll catch it sometime somehow then... I'm definitely curious now.

i feel the same. vikings were the best.

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

i appreciate the slow unveil.

I'm glad because I am deeply ashamed about it! :(

maybe not "deeply"

it gives busy people the time to actually watch these things.

^^ so true

wish i had noticed/voted but greatly appreciate the youtube links to the few of these i don't know

Maybe this is a good time to mention: Ren & Stimpy animator/genius/cool dude John Kricfalusi was a guest on the Nerdist podcast on Friday -- all kinds of great stuff in here, including a killer story about an adventure he had with Bob Clampett. lots of stuff about the old school animators, the horrible 80's years, everything. http://www.nerdist.com/2012/08/nerdist-podcast-john-k/

What's up with this poll?

I suck is what's up! Having a job is confusing and takes a lot of time and energy, I'm not used to it. I'm gonna close this out though, I promise.

*Just* watched the Winnie the Pooh -- OH MY GOD. So brilliant, and also exquisitely (painfully) poignant towards the end.

thanks so much for tezuka's jump; I was just discussing it with a friend. so good.

btw, everyone should see Barta's "Toys in the Attic" when it's on video

man I need to get back on this. This isn't the first time I've fucked up at following through with a messageboard poll! I'm serious! Life has been a bit chaotic though. Sorry sports fans.

leee -- do you mean the russian one or the disney one?

Russian!

hell yeah, i love russian winnie

kinda bummed it didn't make the top 100, but happy it came close enough to be included in this thread by accident haha

I'm not just an overly sentimental sap when it comes to toons, am I? Winnie is srsly affecting, yeah?

nah, they're gorgeous cartoons. you don't even need the subtitles to enjoy them.

How's the job going? How are the results going? How's anything going?

a friend posted this on twitter recently...

Also recently found on a hidden web 1.0 page with several UK and European based shorts were in some sort of mid-60's competition.. Clips for Dirty Birdy and Wallace & Gromit were among the dozens of nominees. Years later, my friends found this with no context of what it could be about and we decided it was creepy as hell, and the 20-seconds of dialogue have stuck in my head ever since... "Come from there. Who's your parents? Don't know. Grew up in an orphanage." I just did 20-minutes of Google searching to determine the short is called "Ugly Head," and I've been wanting to view the entire thing since 11 years ago, just out of curiousity.

Seemed like a good place to put this?
