Top 20 Annimated Movies Ever - My List

Just saw Brave, the newest Disney/Pixar annimated movie.  It's well done and worth seeing, but not a classic.  Talking about the movie afterward, I gave thought to what are the best annimated movies ever.  Here's my list:

  1. Up.  The first 10 minutes of this film are as good as any movie ever made.
  2. Beauty and the Beast.  Everything animation can be.
  3. Toy Story 1&2.  Woody, Buzz and a new type of animation
  4. Sleeping Beauty.  My favorite of the classic Disney movies. I still have nightmares about the queen turning into a dragon
  5. Incredibles.  Superheros growing older, out of shape, with teenage kids who are, well, teenagers.
  6. Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.  This classic created a new art form.
  7. Shrek 1 & 2.  Ogres and and ass have never been so entertaining.
  8. Finding Nemo.  Simply delightful
  9. Pinnochio.  This classic story still remains fresh and vivid decades after its release
  10. Lion King.  Majestic. 
  11. Little Mermaid.  The first modern heroine with a memorable score.
  12. Aladdin.  Once we heard Robin Williams, we were no longer left with the image of Barbara Eden as the ultimate genie. 
  13. Iron Giant.  The animation is not breathtaking, but the story is classic.
  14. Wall-E.  An unusual, risky movie that delights and amazes
  15. Nightmare Before Christmas.  Tim Burton's vision, and Santy Clause will never be the same.
  16. Ratatouille. A rat as a hero? 
  17. Coraline. Fascinating, creepy, dark and entertaining
  18. How to Train Your Dragon.   Exciting and just fun
  19. Lady and the Tramp.  Maybe the sweetest Disney film, with one of the best villains in all of cinema
  20. An American Tale. A true American story done in classic animation style.
