*Update** I have added a Top 15 TV shows as well, plus altered my Animated films list slightly as I accidently had 'Ice Age' twice.
So I like lists a lot. Especially when they are film ones and I've recently taken to writing my own major lists. This one I completed today is my top 50 favourite animated films. As an animation film nerd it was very hard to list to order and narrow down but anyway here it is...enjoy, or just ignore or whatever. I realise this probably isnt interesting to any of you but it took me ages to make and I felt like sharing haha, so hear me out.

Wall-E doesnt open in Australia until Thursday next week. Which is also the time I am seeing it. I only put films ive seen all the way through in. I have a feeling that after wall-e though i might have to make a couple of little changes haha
I personally think an animated Wicked would be better than a live-action one as I cant imagine any live-action film where the 'defying gravity' scene wont look completely, well...corny. It looks good on stage but i just cant picture it on screen. And I am almost positive that wall-e will have a place in that list. A very high place at that, only i need to actually see it before I can do that.
OK. Glad to see you agree that an animated Wicked would be good. I picture that classic Disney style of animation... And the OBC would do it. As one wise person on another forum once said (I paraphrase): "If Disney was doing it, the way they're going we'd have Wicked 6 Morrible's Revenge"
I share your concerns for DG. I saw a good suggestion on imdb: have wind swirl around raising her up and blowing off the walls and ceiling of the tower. Then have storm clouds and lightning above her.
That does sound cool. But you say Disney style animation? Which style would that be exactly? The traditional Disney or the computer Disney? They are doing both these days.
So your a fan of the golden age of Disney ( Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Snow White) ? Good times. Have you herd of The Princess and the Frog? Its a new Disney film coming out next year which follows the traditional princess style, Mulan, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast etc. And it will be the first non CGI Disney film since 2004 I think it is, of which happened to be the disastrous 'Home on the Range'. Whilst Disney have gone down hill a bit with a fair few disasters latley I have high hopes for 'Bolt' and 'The princess and the Frog', I feel they might be able to pull back.
I think Mulan was a huge disappointment to me. Sure it was fun, but it made one very fundamental mistake: Huns never attacked China, only mongols. Huns were in Europe.
I suppose being a film they can create their own history? I dunno I never really looked into it that much.I do like Mulan though it's defiantly not my favourite Disney. Most Disney films back then had copious amounts of historical and cultural inaccuracies. Just look at Aladdin.
well pretty much every disney movie that has some historical context gets it wrong, Pocahontas anyone? But i still love them just because i associate them with all those happy childhood memories

I think in some cases Disney had to stretch the truth to bring us the best animation possible. And whos to blame them? Animation is overall an exaggeration of reality.
