Animated Movies Poll - The Results!


Well the results are in and it makes for a pretty nice spread. Hand-drawn, computer and stop motion animation all seem to be getting love. And despite what some of you might have predicted - it's not all Disney! Foreign animation even got to make the cut - and not just the Japanese variety either! Sure there were a couple of directors who were able to get multiple films represented, but once you see which films we are talking about, I'm sure you'll be able to understand.

As is often the case with these things, a proliferation of ties occurred. When multiple films receive the same number of votes they are listed alphabetically. As always you can find everyone's individual ballots at the end of the post. Lots of great special guest contributors with really awesome picks that are totally worth checking out even if they didn't make the final list. Be sure to click the parenthetical next to their name to see all the awesome stuff that brought them to our attention!

5. The Secret of NIMH


5. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut


5. Toy Story


4. Akira





4. Sleeping Beauty






2. Spirited Away



What more can be said about this film? It is absolutely magical. From the technical aspect of integrating hand-drawn and computer animation so seamlessly, to the ingenious period setting, to the tender story that never fails to tug those heart strings this film is a masterpiece. We know that Brad Bird has moved on to live-action filmmaking, but this film and The Incredibles have us sincerely hoping that he doesn't stay away too long. Well at least we have that gorgeous Mike Mitchell portrait of The Giant (above) to watch over us in our secret blog lair until that fateful day comes.
