July 30, 20178 yr errr The Lego Movie is one of the best animated films of recent years x So many favourites coming up now that I'm wishing were higher, though I'm sure there's some great ones still to come. Ice Age is a lovely film, I just wish it was left at that rather than rinsed to death with sequel overload... Edited July 30, 20178 yr by Chez Wombat
July 31, 20178 yr 18. Aladdin 812pts | 1992 | USA | Disney Top 20's: DalekTurret (#1), Haus (#8), Froot (#9), Jonjo (#18), Josh (#20) sVxUUotm1P4 Aladdin is one of the most popular and famous Disney animated classics coming out in 1992 during a real purple patch for them where they released classics like this, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King all within the space of five years time! Aladdin tells the story of a young street rat who meets a genie and has to use his three wishes carefully to earn the love of a princess, Jasmine. Aladdin was a huge hit both critically and at the box office making over $504 million worldwide which is incredible considering it was released in the 90s! It was nominated for FIVE Oscars including two wins for Best Original Song with 'A Whole New World' and Best Original Score. It has spawned a massively successful West End show too and is on course to be one of the next Disney live-action remakes with Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott as the film's two leads and Will Smith cast as the Genie. This has always been one of my favourite Disney films and it has some spectacular songs too (my favourite actually being "One Jump Ahead"). Shout out to Jafar for being one of the best Disney villains too :wub:
August 1, 20178 yr 17. The Incredibles 851pts | 2004 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: Josh (#5), Iz (#13), Froot (#14), Severin (#14), BrightPlaces (#15), Jacob (#15), Cody (#20) t5v2qBBD-gE The Incredibles was the sixth feature length film made by Pixar following on from huge successes including Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo. It tells the story of a family with superpowers who must unite to overcome the super-villain named Syndrome. It was a big box office success earning $633 million worldwide and still stands as the 7th largest grosser for Pixar worldwide out of 18 movies. It was a big critical success too earning Oscar nominations for Original Screenplay and Sound as well as winning two for Sound Editing and Animated Feature Film. It has taken 14 years to make it here but we are getting an Incredibles 2 next year :w00t: This is probably my favourite ever Pixar film and I've always loved it loads since being a kid. It has loads of heart whilst being exciting and funny all at the same time. I'd say the sequel is one of my most hyped movies of next year for sure, I hope they get it right ! :wub:
August 6, 20178 yr Author Aladdin is overrated. The Incredibles is fab though *.* #16-#14 coming after another person comments!
September 13, 20177 yr Author 16. Madagascar 862pts | 2005 | USA | Dreamworks Top 20's: Taylor (#1), Jahq (#8), Mack (#12), Harry (#14) draFZ6lLvA0 Madagascar is a 2005 DreamWorks flick which featured the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer & Jada Pinkett Smith. It tells the story of four animals from the Central Park Zoo who unexpectedly find themselves stranded on the island of Madagascar. Despite its mixed critical reception, it was a massive success at the box office and was DreamWorks first franchise after Shrek iirc. It was a big box office success earning $532m & it is the 9th highest grossing DreamWorks flick worldwide as of December 2013. The film scored average reviews (55% on Rotten Tomatoes) and was the first of three films in the franchise so far which also spawned a spin-off. I absolutely love this and it just missed my top 20 so I'm glad to see this finish really high, and higher than I expected as well! The characters are so good & I love the voice acting as well and the story is fab and packed with humour & heart <3 A childhood fave :wub:
September 13, 20177 yr Author 15. Up 934pts | 2009 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: JONJO #4, BRIGHTPLACES #5, TAYLOR #6, JACOB #14, JAHQ #15, CHEZ #16, SEVEN #16, HARRY #18 ORFWdXl_zJ4 Up is a 2009 Pixar film which was the 10th film from the studio. It tells the story of an elderly widower (Carl) and a young Wilderness Explorer (Russell. By tying thousands of balloons to his home, Carl sets out to fulfill his dream to see the wilds of South America and complete a promise made to his late wife, Ellie. Up was Pixar's first film to be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and opened the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, therefore becoming the first animated and first 3D film to do so. It was a massive box office success earning $735m worldwide & it is the 5th highest grossing Pixar film, 6th biggest film of 2009 and the 19th biggest animated film of all time. The film was critically acclaimed and has a score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and Up won two Oscars for Best Animated Film & Best Original Score, as well as being the 2nd of 3 animated films to be nominated for Best Picture & scoring Screenplay & sound noms. The film won the same two awards at the Golden Globes, received the Golden Tomato for the best rated film of 2009 on RT. I actually expected this to be top 10, possibly even top 5 so I'm quite surprised it fell short by over 100 points :o I adore Up and it is another perfect animated film <3 Of course the highlight is the iconic Carl/Ellie montage at the start of the film which I still always cry to. Also iirc this was the last Pixar film to get a ridiculously long delay in England, with it coming out in October when it was released in May in America!!
September 13, 20177 yr Author 14. The Simpsons Movie 937pts | 2007 | USA | 20th Century Fox Top 20's: JOSH #2, JAHQ #7, MACK #7, DALEKTURRET #13, HARRY #13, REGINA #15, UV #16 PulHR2LfPVk The Simpsons Movie is the 2007 film based on the iconic television show. It tells the story of Homer, whose irresponsibility gets the better of him when he pollutes the lake in Springfield after the town has cleaned it up following receipt of a warning from the Environmental Protection Agency. As the townspeople exile him and eventually his family abandons him, Homer works to redeem his folly by stopping Russ Cargill, the head of the EPA, when he intends to destroy Springfield. The film also featured cameo appearances from Green Day & Tom Hanks. Although previous attempts to create a Simpsons film had been made, they failed due to the lack of a script of appropriate length and production crew members. The script was re-written over a hundred times, and this creativity continued after the animation had begun in 2006. The film's premiere was held with a yellow carpet instead of the traditional red carpet & the film had a massive marketing campaign with many promotional tie-ins. The film received great reviews with an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes & was a massive box office hit grossing over $527m worldwide, the 8th biggest film of 2007! It was nominated for Best Animation at the Globes/BAFTA's but was snubbed at the Oscars. There have been talks of a sequel but nothing has materialised yet! This basically finished where I would have ranked it & this is an all time classic for me, I can't believe this is over 10 years old now eek :o I remember seeing this on opening day and I was so hyped for it *.* Spider Pig is still iconic and the characters were fab as ever, as well as the plot working great and being really well done <3 A fabulous adaptation of an incredible TV show :heart:
September 14, 20177 yr The Simpsons move is a big favourite of mine. I absolutely love the TV series anyway but the jokes in this were hilarious and I remember watching it all the time once it was released on DVD. I haven't watched it in a couple of years now but I bet I could still recall most of it word for word :heehee: :wub: Up is decent but definitely not one of my favourite Pixar films. I know that Carl is an intentionally unlikable sort of character but I just found it difficult to watch him and actually enjoy it because he was so grumpy :lol:
September 14, 20177 yr 13. Wreck-It Ralph 954pts | 2012 | USA | Disney Top 20's: CAMERON #4, CODY #4, JOSH #7, DALEKTURRET #8, JACOB #8, JONJO #9, CHEZ #13, TAYLOR #16, JAHQ #20 87E6N7ToCxs Wreck-It Ralph tells the story of Ralph, a villain in an arcade video game, who wants nothing more than to be as loved as Fix-It Felix (the "good guy" in the same video game). Ralph goes on a quest to other games in order to win a medal but things take a turn for the worse and he has to work with Vanellope von Schweetz to prevent breaking all of the arcade games. Wreck-It Ralph was a big box office success, making $471 million worldwide (a good number but still lower than other recent Disney flicks including Big Hero 6, Moana & Tangled!). It was also a critical success scoring a score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and being nominated for the animated category at the Oscars where it lost to Pixar's Brave. It took me until around 2015 to even see this but now I regard it as one of my favourite Disney films of all-time. It's very charming but also really cool to see the video game characters interacting and mingling between each other. I'm glad this has placed so high because it does seem underrated in comparison to the other recent Disney offerings such as Frozen and Zootopia :cry:
September 15, 20177 yr 12. Chicken Run 958pts | 2000 | UK | Aardman Animations Top 20's: JAHQ #3, MACK #4, TAYLOR #7, JACOB #10, SEVEN #13, CHEZ #17, DALEKTURRET #18, FROOT #18 VO_SrrtD3dI Chicken Run tells the story of a group of chickens who face imminent death on a chicken farm when they decide to rebel against the farm owners and try to escape before it is too late. Chicken Run was made by British animation studio Aardman Animations and the stop-motion clay animation style may look familiar to some as they are also the studio behind Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. The cast features many celebrity voices including Mel Gibson, Imelda Staunton, Timothy Spall and Miranda Richardson (a lot of the Harry Potter cast :lol:). I was not expecting this to finish so high here at all but it seems that a lot of people enjoyed this during their childhood. I'm pretty sure I've only seen this once as a child so I don't really remember it much at all. I definitely wouldn't have it this high in a personal countdown of mine :o
September 15, 20177 yr 11. Toy Story 2 1063pts | 1999 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: FROOT #2, MACK #3, HAUS #4, CODY #8, DALEKTURRET #10, TAYLOR #10, CHEZ #12, SEVEN #14, JONJO #17, UV #20 Lu0sotERXhI In Toy Story 2, Woody is stolen by a toy collector and the other toys must unite in order to rescue him. Woody is unsure on going back to Andy when he finds out he is a popular TV character and is reunited with his old co-stars. Toy Story 2 was a successful sequel making more money that its predecessor and made the way for the even more successful Toy Story 3. It was also a success with critics scoring a score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The song "When She Loved Me" sung by Randy Newman from this film was nominated for an Oscar in the original song category where it lost to "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan. I've made my thought on Toy Story pretty clear in the past but I re-watched this last year and thought it was pretty decent although I still would rank it near the bottom of the Pixar pile.
September 15, 20177 yr Chicken Run and Toy Story 2 are both great films. The former I remember watching on CBBC back in April 2011. My favourite part was the pie factory scene. The latter I remember watching in Greek back when I was in Year 2. I saw it in English on TV a few years later.
