June 3, 20178 yr 24. How to Train Your Dragon 709pts | 2010 | USA | Dreamworks Top 20's: BrightPlaces (#2), Iz (#6) Jacob (#7), Jahq (#19) oKiYuIsPxYk How to Train Your Dragon is based on a serious of childrens books about a teenager named Hiccup and his pet dragon, Toothless. It features the famous voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill and David Tennant. It was very successful critically for Dreamworks too and was nominated for two Oscars (Best Animated Film and Best Original Score which it lost to Toy Story 3 and The Social Network respectively. I've not seen this film yet but I did see the sequel and really enjoyed it so I imagine this is just as good, if not better.
June 4, 20178 yr 23. Mulan 720pts | 1998 | USA | Disney Top 20's: Cameron (#1), Cody (#2) Harry & Josh (#3), Regina (#10), Jacob (#11) ZSS5dEeMX64 Mulan is the story of a young woman who disguises as a man to take her aging father's place in the army. It was nominated at the Oscars in the Best Original Score but lost out to Shakespere in Love in that category. I'm surprised it wasn't nominated for Original Song too as both Reflection & I'll Make a Man Out of You are brilliant. This has always been one of my favourite Disney animated classics. Mulan is incredibly badass, Mushu is one of the funniest and most enjoyable Disney sidekicks and the plot is very exciting too. This is definitely my most hyped upcoming Disney live-action remake :heart:
June 4, 20178 yr 22. Tangled 772pts | 2010 | USA | Disney Top 20's: BrightPlaces (#1), Regina (#1) Cody (#12) fi8kYcl2Y38 Tangled is the tale of Rapunzel and her flowing blonde hair who is locked up in a tower. She is able to escape and explore the outside world with Flynn Rider. Tangled made $591 million at the worldwide box office adding to a long list of successful Disney movies in the current Disney revival. It features some brilliant songs including my personal favourite, "Mother Knows Best", as well as the Oscar nominated song "I See the Light" (which it lost the Oscar to "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3). My little sister absolutely adores this film and so do I so it's a film that we watch a lot. It's a lovely adventure story with plenty of twists and turns and good humour as well as two incredibly likable main characters. What's not to like?
June 4, 20178 yr 21. Beauty and the Beast 781pts | 1991 | USA | Disney Top 20's: Josh (#4), Iz (#8) UV (#9), Harry & Haus (#10) tTUZswZHsWQ Beauty and the Beast is the story of Belle who is imprisoned by a Beast and his talking furniture after she takes the place of her father. Beauty and the Beast was a massive success becoming the first EVER animated film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (there have only been two since, those being Up and Toy Story 3 but both years had more than five nominees in that category) where it lost to The Silence of the Lambs. It was also nominated for Best Sound (lost to Terminator 2), Best Original Song three times ("Beauty and the Beast" won beating out "Be Our Guest" and "Belle"), and won for Original Score too ending the night with two Oscars. This is another one where I'm so shocked at how low it is, I was expecting top 10!! It is one of Disney's most famous stories, features some of their absolute best songs, has some brilliant characters (who doesn't love Lumiere and Mrs Potts & Chip?!?) and is just a lovely story, the ending always puts a smile on my face! Wish this was higher :(
June 4, 20178 yr And I believe that is my section of hosting done now so thanks everyone who commented! :cheer: Sam will now bring you the top 20 (I don't know these results either so excited to see what films have made it this high and who the eventual winner is too :w00t:) Thanks again and roll on the top 20!!
June 4, 20178 yr Mulan and Beauty and the Beast are both animated classics :wub: Finding Dory does not compare to its first film but it's enjoyable
June 4, 20178 yr Grave Of The Fireflies is a sheer beauty. It stands out so much on this list because the Eastern tradition of animated films in comparison to the Disney crowd, it's all tears no comic relief the entire way through and it's is fantastic for it. Not that I don't like that sort of stuff, How To Train Your Dragon, Mulan and Beauty And The Beast are all pretty incredible animated films from our hemisphere. I've heard good things about Zootopia, but the less said about Despicable Me and the THINGS it spawned the better. And Finding Dory was a bit average too.
June 4, 20178 yr I mean Despicable Me's alright as a film, just a shame what it inspired... Some of the very best of old and new Disney here. Tangled, Zootopia and Big Hero 6 are future classics and Bambi is one of my all time favourites, one of the first films I saw and THAT death still breaks my heart, commendable that a children's film like that at that time managed to fit in some pretty dark themes and little fantasy. I'm surprised Grave of the Fireflies is so much higher than Spirited Away, but I'm not complaining. Took me a while to get round to seeing it, but it's beautiful (if an extremely tough watch </3)
June 5, 20178 yr I think I remember seeing How To Train Your Dragon in the cinema a long time ago but I don't remember a lot of it so I might need to rewatch it. Oh, and am I the only one who thought of Schezuan Sauce by looking at 23 [Mulan]?
June 8, 20178 yr Author Might do a bit of the top 20 tonight/tomorrow, if not we will properly start on 20th June and zoom completely through it as I'll be done with my exams done! Any predictions?

July 20, 20177 yr Author Top 20 will be done over the next week and a half!!!!!! any predictions! (soz for the utter messT this has been, hope there is still interest!)
July 29, 20177 yr Author Okay despite all the above posts, THe ToP 20 is actually starting TODAY!! so does anyone have any predictions? (Josh will kick off the top 20 so we can start on a positive note film-wise x)
July 29, 20177 yr 20. The Lego Movie 801pts | 2014 | USA | Warner Bros./Warner Animation Group Top 20's: Iz (#10), Jonjo (#10), Regina (#13), Mack (#14), Chez (#19), Jacob (#19) fZ_JOBCLF-I The Lego Movie is the story of an ordinary construction worker named Emmet who is caught up in a mission to save the world. It features fun Lego cameos along the way from the likes of Batman, Superman and C-3PO. It was a massive box office success making $469.2 million worldwide and spawning two spin-offs so far with The Lego Batman Movie and the upcoming Lego Ninjago Movie. The film was a huge critical success too and scored 96% on Rotten Tomatoes but was infamously snubbed at the Oscars in the Animated category that year. This is a film I really enjoyed when I saw it at the cinema (mainly because I'm a big sucker for any sort of exciting cameos and this was full of them :w00t:) but I haven't seen it since which is a shame. I adored the Batman movie this year though, they seem to get the humour so right in these films :wub:
July 30, 20177 yr Author vile film. Should be nowhere near the top 20. Especially considering it beat the majestic Beauty & The Beast and Tangled to the top 20 :(
July 30, 20177 yr Author 19. Ice Age- 806 Points (JAHQ #10, BRIGHTPLACES #13, SEVERIN #15) 19. Ice Age 806pts | 2002 | USA | Blue Sky Studios Top 20's: Jahq (#10), BrightPlaces (#13), Severin (#15) cMfeWyVBidk So let's kick off with the first good film of the top 20 *.* Ice Age is a film set during the days of the ice age; animals begin migrating south to escape the winters. Once Manny, a no-nonsense mammoth meets Sid, a loudmouthed ground sloth and the two find a human baby, they set out to return the baby. Joining them is a saber-tooth tiger named Diego, who is commanded by his pack leader to bring the baby to him to enact revenge against the humans. This was the first in the franchise which has now spawned four sequels! It was a massive box office success making $383 million worldwide, the 8th highest of ALL TIME at the time of release and it had the highest March opening/3rd highest animated movie of all time at the time as well! The film was a critical success too and scored 77% on Rotten Tomatoes and the film was nominated at the Oscars in the Animated category that year but lost to Spirited Away which finished a lot lower than Ice Age here! I adore this film and it is my 2nd favourite of the franchise behind the third entry! A charming animated classic <3
