I also enjoyed that movie. The forgetful Dory was hilariously funny.

[Bear Bibeault]

Ghost in the Shell
Spirited Away
The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

It's hard for me to pick a single favorite, or even a short list. There's been such a rennaisance over the last decade.

Nick Park's stuff, of course.

As for big studio commercial animation, I thought "The Incredibles" was the best Pixar feature film. Curiously, "Nemo" was my least favorite by far.

And "Jimmy Neutron". Gotta love Jimmy Neutron.

Without doubt. The 3 I listed are the first that came to mind, but there are so many good ones.

Does "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" count as animated?

Even though it's a "hybrid", I'd say yes.

It's also on my list of favorites.

[Henry Wong]

Does "Team America" or "Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit" count?

I am also surprised that "Princess Mononoke" didn't get a mention.

But of course. Stop-motion animation is still animation.

I am also surprised that "Princess Mononoke" didn't get a mention.

Despite prevailing attitudes, I personally think that Mononoke is one of Myazaki's weaker efforts. But I know I'm in the minority on that one...

The Nightmare Before Christmas

[Deepak Bala]

Ghost in the shell movies and the episodes ( both 1 and 2 )

Chicken little - Amazing animation. Textures looked very real and great story

[Dave Lenton]

Hmmmm. I quite liked Antz as well, and South Park is a good one. Probably one of the Wallace & Gromit films for me though.

[fred rosenberger]

Can i put in a vote for "Tron" (purely for nostalgic reasons)?

Now that you have mentioned nostalgia, I remembered some animation films which used to be shown way back in India made by films division, I guess indians who have seen those would agree they were some of the best irrespective of the lack of quality animation.....

1. Tree of unity
2. Meenu Machli [Meenu Fish]
3. I do not quite remember the name of the Film clip but it went like ek machili, anek machili - [one fish, many fishes]

My Favs......

[Mapraputa Is]

Marc, thanks for recommendation -- "Waking Life" is something. I am terrified to think that I could spend all my life without watching it Subsequently I read that Linklater just made another movie, A Scanner Darkly, and watched this also. It's as good as "Waking Life", some would like it even better because it's more a traditional sci-fi movie, but it's very good.

Have you watched anything of Jan Svankmajer? Thought you might like it.

Ice-Age Part-2. The female mammoth which grows with the rats, thinks itself as rat and behaves like a rat. It was very hilarious.

[S Venkatesh]

Chicken Little
Ice Age

[Rashid Mayes]

I am an anime fan; not sure of my exact list but my some of my favorites are:

Rurouni Kenshin Trust and Betrayal
Berserk (Series)
Spirited Away
Bubblegum Crisis (OVA)
Princess Mononoke

Yes, and the Brothers Quay as well!

More for me to watch

[Paul Sturrock]

I'll try to look all highbrow and say Belleville Rendez-Vous and Spirited Away. Both are amazing, but my real (guilty) favourite is probably South Park, The Movie.

[Jaikiran Pai]

Tom & Jerry

[paul wheaton]

I recently saw "The man who planted trees" - WOW! Each frame is hand drawn. The whole thing is like an amazing piece of art. And the story really struck a chord with me. Fantastic. And netflix has it.

Toy Story and Shrek are good. 1 and 2.

Ghost in the shell is good.

Too bad there was never a movie for "The Tick" or "Invader Zim."

How about "Aladdin"? Or "Mulan"?

I saw "A Scanner Darkly" and I would like that slice of my life back please!

[Mapraputa Is]

Paul: I saw "A Scanner Darkly" and I would like that slice of my life back please!

You mean you didn't like it?

[Deepak Bala]

I have seen Mulan and its not that bad. The animation looked good and the bad guy looked really cool. Nice story line and neat animation. A touch of eddie murphy for the little dragon adds humor along with the other characters.

[Prabhu Venkatachalam]

I like Shrek and Ice Age. 1&2

[Ulf Dittmer]

Tim Burtons Corpse Bride, if you're into the morbid kind of humor.

[Cameron Wallace McKenzie]

Shrek and Heavy Metal.

Shrek sold out in Shrek 2 though. Got caught up in the whole money thing.

Nobody for Fritz the Cat? Heh heh.

There is an international contest for animated shorts. The "best of" collections are pretty amazing. I caught one in a theater in Greenwich Village but haven't seen them around out here in the sticks. Anybody know the name of the thing? French, I think.
