Animation: Not Just for Children




Just because this is an art blog does not mean it always has to be about art I have created myself, though that is usually my focus.
Today is a TOP TEN day.
Top ten animated movies.
These are not in order of how much I love them.
None of these images are owned by me, belong to me, or ones I am attempting to sell as my own. Nor were any of them created by me. I'm merely using them to accent my list.

1. An American Tale
2. Sleeping Beauty

3. The Secret of Kells

4. Princess Mononoke
5. Grave of the Fireflies

6. The Iron Giant
7. The Sword and the Stone
8. The Road to El Dorado
9. Persepolis

10. The Prince of Egypt

Some of my favorite CG movies:

1. The Incredibles
2. How to Train Your Dragon
(image at the top of the page: The Art of How to Train Your Dragon)
3. Despicable Me
4. Megamind

5. Toy Story trilogy
6. Open Season
7. Up
8. Meet the Robinsons
9. Finding Nemo
10. Wall-E

TV animated series:
1. Samurai Jack


2. The Regular Show
3. Adventure Time
4. Daria
5. South Park


Honorable mentions:
The animated sequence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?(animated/live action hybrid)
Bedknobs and Broomsticks (animated/live action hybrid)
The animated/rotoscoped credit sequences in Robin Hood (2010)

Not all of these movies are my most favorite movies EVER. I love, like, and enjoy all of them. In varying degrees, but they are not listed in any kind of order.
Mostly this is a list of movies I have chosen because of their technical merit, their use of photography, and the quality I see in their finished product.
Because this is just a little blog, feel free to disagree. Whatever.
Just my opinion. :)

animated/CG movies I want to see:
1. Legend of the Gaurdians
2. The Illusionist
3. Coraline
4. A Town Called Panic
5. Tangled

Love.
