The American Film Institute hosted a TV special in the USA on CBS last night (6/17) that had ten categories of Top Ten movies.  In the Animation category, nine of the top ten films listed were all produced (or distributed) by Disney; only DreamWorks Animation's Shrek spoiled the Disney Parade by landing in the eighth position from a list of fifty nominees.  The Top Ten Animated Films as judged by AFI:

  • 1. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
  • 2. Pinocchio (1940)
  • 3. Bambi (1942)
  • 4. The Lion King (1994)
  • 5. Fantasia (1940)
  • 6. Toy Story (1995; Pixar produced)
  • 7. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
  • 8. Shrek (2001; produced by DreamWorks Animation)
  • 9. Cinderella (1950)
  • 10. Finding Nemo (2003, Pixar produced)

Hmm interesting list!

I'm not sure I would have placed Pinocchio or Lion King so high up...and where are Peter Pan, Jungle Book or Sleeping Beauty?

Still, good to see Disney's got 9 out of 10!!  :D/

Well never2old, the three films were under consideration from what I understand.  I don't have the full list of fifty animated films (you must be a member of AFI to see that list) but I'm sure much of the Disney Animated canon was in there.
