This is a good nostalgia trip. It seems they just did it by their own rating meter, but it still gives a fairly nice Top 10 for me, though I never understood how Toy Story 2 was better than the first.

 

[djkimothy]

Wall-E ahead of Nemo?

I haven't seen Wall-E, is it really that good?

 

[FF_VIII]

Toy Story 2 first?

I would've put the 1st one ahead of it, but it's still a good top 10.

 

[John Dunbar]

lol at all the Pixar shit in top 10.

 

[DrForester]

List is just based on the review scores isn't it?

Don't like the list.

Chicken Run in top 10?!
Beauty and the Beast and Lion King in the 20's?
No Miyazaki or Ghibli Films that didn't see a US theatrical run.

Wall-E ahead of Nemo?

I haven't seen Wall-E, is it really that good?

oh yeah.

 

[vatstep]

Wall-E ahead of Nemo?

I haven't seen Wall-E, is it really that good?

Yes.

 

[Solaros]

I'll give in someday vat

 

[djkimothy]

Yes.

Oh shit, Blu-ray Day 1 then.

 

[Brobzoid]

why do people who do lists insist on numbering them in such an arbitrary fashion? Do tiers, themes or something. -_-

 

[jett]

Toy Story 2...really? I just don't get the Lasseter-directed Pixar films, I guess.

 

[Zoltrix]

LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1 LION KING IS NUMBER 1

It should be #1

I can't say I agree with the top 10.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

So that's where they got the art style for Professor Layton

 

[Cheebs]

RT didn't make the list dont blame them. It just goes based on review scores

 

[speedpop]

So that's where they got the art style for Professor Layton

Yeah Level 5's main inspiration for it was the European style of animation, specifically some of the stuff the French and Germans created back in the day.

Ratatouille at #16 is a bit lame. Should be at least top 10.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Toy Story 2 at no. 1?

No.

 

[Brobzoid]

So that's where they got the art style for Professor Layton

are you trying to say you haven't seen this movie? because that is easily one of the best animation films I have ever seen. fuck that disney shit, this is the proper stuff. hardly any dialog, great animation, creative designs, fantastic story & music. go go go!

 

[Zoltrix]

I'm trying to remember which Fantasia I saw so I can watch the other one. Which is the one where Mickey Mouse is a wizard and all these brooms come to life?

 

[Snaku]

My thoughts on the top 10...

Toy Story was far better than Toy Story 2, but neither deserve to be in the top 5.

Snow White at number 2? Are you shitting me? It's like saying Final Fantasy is better than Final Fantasy VI because it came first.

I love Pinocchio. Loved it as a child, and love it as an adult. It deserves to be in the top 10 for sure.

Wall-E was fantastic, and probably had Pixar's more endearing characters. Too preachy though.

Finding Nemo was a nice update of An American Tail, though it wasn't done half as well. For some reason it's the Pixar film I've seen the most in theaters (5 times).

Fantasia. Nice animation, with some beautiful music. But it's not a compelling film in any way. More of a awesome experiment. Shouldn't even be in the top 25.

Chicken Run. Wait, why am I talking about this? Oh, it made it into the top 10? Really?

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is amazing. It was an amazing achievement with great story and characters, and definitely deserves its place in the top 10, though it may not be 100% animated.

The Nightmare Before Christmas was wonderfully imaginative, told a charming story, and every character was highly memorable. Excellent music as well. I would have placed it higher.

So yeah, what's with the Disney circle jerk, RT? Only one Miyazaki film in the top 20? No Secret of NIMH or An American Tail in the top 20? Why isn't Akira in the top 10? Seems like the people who put this list together have an extremely narrow vision of film animation.

 

[Brobzoid]

if you want to see another fantasia, you have probably seen the old one. If you had seen the new one, you wouldn't want to expose yourself to more of that.

what I'm trying to say is; don't see 2000. it's far from the original. so far it's not even funni.

you people are aware of the "voting"? compiling all their review scores and ranking them in order of 'freshness'. You do know that you are critiquing the general reviewing community at the time the movie was released and not RT itself?

RT didn't make the list! It goes by review scores.

 

[Snaku]

Read that after I posted. Doesn't make the list any less crappy.

 

[JimiNutz]

Is there a list of the 50?
I'm making my way through it now but it's already got off to an awful start with South Park in at 50!
50 WTF? The South Park movie was fucking genius (no bias)

Also if The Jungle Book isn't on this list I will never take an opinion from Rotten Tomatoes seriously again.

It is amazing to me that people somehow think RT decides what score a movie gets.

 

[vatstep]

I'll give in someday vat

:lol

 

[JimiNutz]

LOL oh yeah RT is the site that just complies all the reviews written by other people-silly me.
Ok I should rephrase that, if The Jungle Book does not make the list all my faith in humanities ability to form opinions on movies will be forever shattered.
That's quite the mouth full, and I can't be bothered to check that it makes sense, I'm still enraged that South Park only made 50 :lol

Spoiler

I'm not really enraged, actually I'm pretty fucking high

Jungle Book made 36-should be higher!.
At least it's not 50th, Poor South Park

I suppose Beavis and Butthead Do America makes the top 10 to make up for this failure?

 

[Brobzoid]

It is amazing to me that people somehow think RT decides what score a movie gets.

Well, I suppose it's true though. Just like boxoffice.com decides which movies get the most gross etc. Not a new concept really.

 

[NotWii]

This list is missing 'When The Wind Blows'

Features music by DAVID BOWIE and PINK FLOYD

Also
Iron Giant needs to be in the top 3
Incredibles & Ratatouille need to be in the top 10
Howl's Moving Castle shouldn't be in the list at all...

So that's where they got the art style for Professor Layton

I still need to see this

 

[arts&crafts]

Why isnt spirited away #1? This list is rigged!

 

[Grug]

I'm trying to remember which Fantasia I saw so I can watch the other one. Which is the one where Mickey Mouse is a wizard and all these brooms come to life?

Both Fantasia films have 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' in them.

That's not animated. The Japanese figured out a way to create humans with pastel skin, big ass eyes, and a black outline of their body.

 

[Tathanen]

Are you kidding me with this shit. ZERO Don Bluth movies? A travesty of the highest order.

 

[No Means Nomad]

Fantasia 2000? Lilo & Stitch (Bigger offense because it comes right in front of Emperor's New Groove)? Kung Fu Panda? The Simpson's Movie? Antz? Toy Story 2 tops the list? Get out of here with that shit.

Just so RT knows Princess Mononoke is the best Miyazaki movie and Ratatouille is the best Pixar movie. Pinocchio is right where it belongs.

 

[thestopsign]

There are four films on there that I've been meaning to watch... Persepolis, Pripika, Triplets of Belleville, and Akira. I guess I know what I'm doing tonight. Any opinions on which ones are better out of those? I'll probably only rent/buy two for now.

 

[speculawyer]

Toy Story 2 first?

I would've put the 1st one ahead of it, but it's still a good top 10.

I think Toy Story 2 should have won best picture that year. That damn vignette with "When somebody loves you" made me cry . . . and it is just a damn animated doll! Not even a real doll.

 

[Haeleos]

Snow White is #2? While the performances of the dwarves is a masterpiece, the embarassment of a rotoscoped main character cheapens a lot of it in my opinion.

Iron Giant not in the top 10 but Lasseter's bullshit and Chicken Run are?! wtf...

I am very surprised The Simpsons movie is even on the list, let alone higher than most of Miyazaki's stuff. It was nothing more than a stretched out episode... it's not like they had a story worth telling that they needed to suddenly realize it through a full length movie.

Toy Story's animation didn't age well either, so if we're talking "of all time" then there are a crapload of other movies that could be put there.

 

[Femmeworth]

The Incredibles should be #1, at least in terms of Pixar. On the bright side, Cars isn't in the top 10.

I'm sort of okay with Toy Story 2, considering they could have picked worse.

Also, I really hate RT's format for these lists. One movie per page? Really? The least they could do is invest in getting some sort of flash displayer.

 

[Stridone]

I fucking hate Pixar.

 

[typhonsentra]

My computer is acting up, can anyone list all the selections please?

 

[davepoobond]

they mean Pixar top movies of all time, right

 

[WrikaWrek]

List fails.

Lion King is the best of all time and it's not even in the top 3.

 

[USD]

Is Kung Fu Panda that good? Haven't seen it yet.

 

[sky]

lul, lists...

 

[Dascu]

Where the goddamn fuck is Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

 

[FF_VIII]

I think Toy Story 2 should have won best picture that year. That damn vignette with "When somebody loves you" made me cry . . . and it is just a damn animated doll! Not even a real doll.

That video was so sad

I did the same thing with my Power Rangers

It should be #1

Yeah man! Kimba the White Li.... er, I mean Simba the Lion King should be #1! Where in the world did Disney ever come up with such a fantastic story like that?

 

[Fuzz Rez]

God dang, I must find copy of Watership Down. It was pretty awesome movie back when I was kid, bunnies killing each other like there's no tomorrow. Anyone know if there is DVD release ?

EDIT: Yes there is ! Buying it right now.

 

[davepoobond]

the list is pretty much bullshit. its 90% disney films, while they are good, makes it seem like there's no variety in the list.

they need to make a non-disney list, and a disney list.
