Lol Llama with Herc!

[chasmmi]

To the person who said that at this point most of these films would be good - you are right. Very happy with the selections so far today.

 

That was me

[TalismanRing]

Ah Hercules.  The Gospel Greek Chorus is one of my favorite bits of any animated film

I really hope Frozen beats Toy Story 3!!!

#51: Despicable Me (2010) - 278 Points

Country of origin: USA (Illumination Entertainment)

Animation style: 3D Computer Generated

Plot:

When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better.

 

Iceroll's list trivia:

Despicable Me ranks 16 spots ahead of its sequel. That's one of the tighter franchise distributions actually, most sequels drop off the map, but we will also see a few upcoming sequels that rank roughly the same, or even higher.

 

IMDB trivia:

The directors actually wrote a language for the gibberish the minions speak throughout the film. They called it "minion-ese". Each word the minions speak in the film translates into an actual word.

 

BOF User Review:

One of the many great animated films last year! So dang funny. Love the Minions, and those girls were so cute and funny! Great to hear Julie Andrews as well, who I didn't even reconize until the credits!

I still don't know why this should have a sequel though as it seemed stand alone.

[chasmmi]

just one more spot to cross off for Jungle Book to have made top 50

 

(50th will still be 49 places to low in my own eyes but I have lower expectations about public consensus of my favourite films than some others here do

 

EDIT: It made it already

Now let's push for top 40

[The Panda]

While we're discussing the Lego Movie, someone please explain why the double decker couch is a bad idea.

 

For one, the people who sit on the top would have their feet dangling in front of the faces of those on the bottom.

[James]

Not even TOP 50 for DM?! WOW.

[Alpha]

For one, the people who sit on the top would have their feet dangling in front of the faces of those on the bottom.

 

Along with the fact that in any normal room, you'd bang your head on the ceiling if you're sitting on top.

[Alpha]

Waltz with Bashmir should've been in the Top 100.

[The Panda]

Despicable Me is definitely worth the praise, while it's as good as some of the movies already listed, it's definitely a very strong movie (much better than the sequel).

[TalismanRing]

For one, the people who sit on the top would have their feet dangling in front of the faces of those on the bottom.

 

And the viewing angle would probably suck for one or the other levels, or maybe both unless it's a really big TV. 

 

Besides, the guy didn't even have one friend - a chair was more than enough.

#50: Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) - 280 Points

Country of origin: USA (Dreamworks Animation)

Animation style: 3D Computer Generated

Plot:

Po and his friends fight to stop a peacock villain from conquering China with a deadly new weapon, but first the Dragon Warrior must come to terms with his past.

 

Iceroll's list trivia:

Kung Fu Panda 2 is the only Dreamworks animation flick between the Croods at #73, and the next one at #28.

 

IMDB trivia:

Late in the movie Master Croc leaps onto the boat and lands in a wide split position. This is a characteristic move of Jean-Claude Van Damme, who voices him.

 

 

BOF User Review:

Awesome sequel that logically builds theme and meaning from its predecessor, features a kick-ass villain in Gary Oldman, some great action sequences, some smart comedy and cool use of traditional animation. Disappointed that the Furious Five wasn't given much to do (besides Tigress) but considering this is really Po's story I can excuse that.

 

B+

This is one creepy poster.

[iceroll]

Yep, now including videos! If you have any clips in mind that you want me to include (for films you think might be in the top 50 ) PM them to me!

[Alpha]

Kung Fu Panda 2 is awesome. Usually sequels aren't as good as the original, but man was it good.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Kung Fu Panda 2, hmmm..wonder how high the first one will get!

Also, Iceroll, include this video:

NOOOO! :(

 

 

If there is one thing that baffles me more than the love for Finding Nemo, it's that nobody seems to see Kung Fu Panda as being the near-perfect animated film of the 21st century.

 

It has a great story, characters, plot, animation, emotion. It has everything and somehow it never gets rated. I don't understand it. :9

[Alpha]

The Kung Fu Panda movies are the best Dreamworks movies.

 

Shrek 2 is also up there.
