    Top 100 Animated Countdown. Reveal begins in 10-12 hours. Just hanging on for that last minute rushed top 20 list that changes everything...

    The Secret of Kells is narrated like a fable so in that context, the structure felt complete to me. The Breadwinner shows a woman being mercilessly beaten by the Taliban in front of her young daughter, and a teen militant trying to shoot down two little girls... so um, "watered-down" is not the word I would use for the film.

     

    Haven't seen Song of the Sea so can't comment, but I guess this means this it's the only Cartoon Saloon film in the Top 100? Which is sad.  

    My biggest (and perhaps only) problem with The Secret of the Kells is its weak ending. The movie ended so abruptly that it left a bad taste in my mouth despite how gorgeous it is.

     

    As for The Breadwinner, I suppose it’s not watered-down relative to most animated movies, but having read the book and seen a live-action adaptation of the story, this version just didn’t do it for me and wasn’t nearly as impactful. I might have liked it otherwise.

     

    You should really see Song of the Sea though. You might agree that it’s by far their best work.

    I personally find Song of the Sea to be Cartoon Saloon's strongest and most cohesive film. Both The Secret of Kells and The Breadwinner felt a little...incomplete and watered-down to me. Just like Laika, Cartoon Saloon is not the most consistent animation studio, but God do I appreciate what they're each doing.

    95th - Song of the Sea: 9 Votes, 1 top 10, 146 points

     

    Previous List - 76th

     

     

    I'm no longer batting 100%

     

    The only reason I know of this film is because it performed strongly last time around and even though it has fallen a few places, it still makes the top 100. I do not even know if the film is Irish made or just Irish set without looking it up. (Looking it up, it appears to be an Irish studio but with some collaboration with other European animation houses in places). 

     

    Making judgement purely on the clip above, it certainly isn't a mega-budget film from an animation perspective, but also simpler can also serve the right purpose in the right circumstances. The vocal work sounds charming enough and it was on my shortlist (well 16 film list) of films in the top 100 I personally have not seen and thus will try to watch before they pop up in the list. But it appeared a little to early for me to manage it. (One or two more may suffer this same fate if I carry on long enough in this stint).

     

    So I ask the 9 people that voted for it, why should one watch this film? For its charm? its music? the story? to laugh? to cry? What is the draw? 

     

     

    Criminally underrated movie. You should watch it for literally all of these reasons you stated and more. It's simply one of the most stunning animated films I've ever seen.

    96th - Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: 12 Votes, 0 top 10, 143 points

     

    Previous List - Outside top 150 (that surprised me)

     

     

    One of the more fun, nothing animations out there. 

     

    I like the Cloudy films (so yep I am 5 for 5), I like them to the point that I was one of the two people to give votes to the sequel (if for nothing else, the amazing vegetable puns) which ended up in 243rd. There was a time when outside of Disney and the odd Don Bluth film, you would be delighted if anybody else was making a film of the quality of this let alone a what is maybe the 3rd or 4th tier of US mainstream animation right now. It's fun, and stuff like this and Rio do fun well. 

     

     

    Glad Cloudy made it. It's such a fun film! I was the other guy who voted for the sequel hehe; I disliked it the first time I saw it but loved it the second time. Too bad it didn't make it as well.
