Animated Creatures: ILX's top 100 animated films (results thread)

crossposted in tcm alert thread

it’s with great honor that I report to you that an hour’s worth of rare silent-era animation from my collection will be airing on Turner Classic Movies, *tonight*, at 12am eastern/9pm pacific. For this very special and long overdue broadcast event, we’ve curated several rare, once-thought-lost, historically significant or just downright funny cartoons produced in New York City between 1907 and 1926. That’s not all, though--TCM host Robert Osborne, with Jerry Beck co-hosting, are also presenting both Fleischer features, a block of UPA cartoons, and The Adventures of Prince Achmed in addition to the early NYC shorts.

It’s not to be missed! I hope some or many of you can tune in or set your DVR in time. Important links pertaining to this event below...

Came back to check this out. I was introduced to so many great animations through these threads. Sad I didn't vote. Curious abt 76-1!

I suspect silby has removed bookmark on this thread :)

No reason he couldn't pass the numbers on to someone else to finish the results rollout.

The rollout reminds me of the heady days of ILC.

Does someone want to volunteer to complete the rollout? I seem to not be trustworthy.

Or alternately I can try to get this ship afloat again tonight. Shame-inspired mental blocks are a drag

Nah, I get it, dude. I don't feel like volunteering to take over the roll-out, so I won't contribute further to guilt. Any good Samaritans out there?

ok

TOO LOW

gr8 comeback

(the poll, not forks)

yay, it's back on!

Never actually seen "Little Red Hot Riding Hood" before, or at least not all the way through. Pretty good stuff! Takes a few minutes to really get rolling but some killer sight gags along the way - love the wolf's contraption for giving extra applause and table-pounding - and the climax at Grandma's is a real outpouring of technique and excitement (even if the content itself is kind of misogynistic and gross).

Yay!

you think that's exciting

yessssssss
psyched about this comeback

So many timeless sight gags in Red Hot Riding Hood - sadly Tumblr/etc seems heavier on animated gifs of Red rather than the wolf's table-pounding, heart-thumping-out-of-chest, etc.

Bambi Meets Godzilla is so great; turns up in all sorts of weird places/anthologies/etc.

Thanks, silby!

Yeah thanks! Really looking forward to the rest of the rollout.

Same here, thanks for reviving it.

Hey so I found out that there are at least two more parts to the Russian Winnie the Pooh clip.

Wow, did anyone know this existed?

I'm wondering if MTV's responsible for this. There's some incredible stuff on here.

this might be cool... i didn't watch all of it. if it's bad i apologize.

If that's what you want to do with your vaca, I have no objections! If your webmail addr is defunct, webmail me, otherwise, I'll webmail you tonite.

cool to see this thread up again!

Open question: are there enough people around during the holidays for me to roll out the rest of results this week?

i'll be offline most of the week personally

i'll be around, but happy to wait.

i'll be around! :D

"An American Tail" was my #1!
[it was '86 tho, and don bluth directed :) the 2 dudes listed here did "fievel goes west" which was an ok movie]
it gets me happy whenever even 1 more placement gets posted here.

my #1 too iirc!

is that 50 points each? looks like we were the only 2. haha

I automated the lookup for movie info, so we might get some wacky directors, years, etc. Will try to post a few later today!

Haven't seen An American Tail since it came out - when I was, like, five. MAYbe on video once after that but I doubt it. Does it hold up?
