You talking computer pixar type stuff?
If so, I definitely have Incredinbles as my #1
I just got done watching Brave with my kids....I had never seen it before.
This led my wife and I into a heated argument over the best cartoon movies ever. Not counting old school movies, I firmly believe "The Incredibles" is the best....she was leaning to "Finding Nemo". I told her she is re ed.
Without question, The Incredibles, Wreck it Ralph, and Megamind are the best animated movies ever....thoughts?

Yeah, it has to be movies made in the past 20 years. But even if it wasn't, I can't see how animated movies prior to Pixar could hold a candle. I mean, I like Aladdin, but it's crap when compared to Toy Story.
I enjoyed Wreck It Ralph tremendously, but I'm not sure it ranks on any best of lists for me. I liked the humor and the writing more than I liked the look of it. Megamind I thought was completely forgettable. But I would agree that at least among current generation animation, The Incredibles is comfortably at the top of the heap, in my opinion. I love that one. Followed closely by Wall-E, Up, and the rest of the Pixar stuff. With the exception of Wreck It Ralph, I haven't liked a non-Pixar animated film in a very long time, so everything else that's come out in the last couple decades or so is near the bottom of my list.
If you're talking best full length animated features of all time, though, my preference is easily for hand drawn animation. For that reason, I lean towards golden age Disney. Sleeping Beauty and Fantasia are at the very top of my list. Both are gorgeous and hugely innovative.
Honorable mention goes to Yellow Submarine. Hugely stylized, of course, and perhaps not always aesthetically pleasing, but I've always loved the film and when I was lucky enough to see a restored film print projected on a big screen, it looked ing amazing.
I just watched De able Me last night on dvr, it was actually a pretty good movie.
Toy Story or The Iron Giant are my faves as far as animated/computer animated movies go
See, I disagree completely with the hand drawn argument. You and I are the same age, and I believe you are just pointing to the nostalgic factor and you need to put it aside. The movies we grew up with did nothing to entertain the parents....nothing....and for that reason, they need to be ruled out.
Megamind may be in my top three strictly because of the will Farrell aspect, but it was still head and shoulders above anything Disney created in the 80's or before.
However, i still firmly believe that the most entertaining TV cartoon of all time was Duck Tales, my children scoff at the idea of something so crudely put together.
All three of the Toy Story movies are outstanding too.
Couldn't agree more about Sleeping Beauty.
it's mind blowing watching it, knowing it's from 1950(?). If the story line was a little better, it would be easily Disney's greatest.
My favorite animated movie is 101 Dalmatians. Out of the current crop of animated movies, I'd put Toy Story at #1.
The nostalgia angle would make sense if I favored the animated movies from when I grew up, as well, but I don't. I think animation, feature length and short, from the 1970s through the mid-90s is largely . Really with the exception of The Simpsons. And maybe Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. But there are a ton of movies and other cartoons I loved as a kid that you couldn't pay me to sit through now.
For me it's an entirely aesthetic preference. One of my favorite things about animation is the art, so story (unless it's REALLY bad or REALLY good) has always been secondary for me in the genre. And as far as aesthetics are concerned, I almost always like analog over digital. The same is true for me in photography, effects, and film.
Toy Story
Shrek
Finding Nemo
anyone who says Wall-e. Pixar got a little too self-righteous when making that one, and save me the social commentary bull . Looked great, but pretty much Idiocracy without the humor.
The Brave Little Toaster tops all
Do Anime movies count as cartoons?
Princess Mononoke is my favourite. Akira is also great.
Out of the pixar ones, Wreck It Ralph was a recent great one.
Fieval Goes West tops The Brave Little Toaster
can't forget about the Fox and the Hound though
The Land Before Time > Brave Little Toaster > Fieval > Fox and the Hound
All great tho
Now that's nostalgia talking.
totes forgot about LBT and Aladdin those movies are also badass. even the return of jafar was good imo
Jungle Book for the music always had me.
Fantasia for the music and visuals.
I lean toward Up as my favorite modern cartoon film.
Also loved the muted tones/faded colors used within American Tale. Much of my color photography tries to capture this feel.
Hard to go wrong with Louis Prima, Sam Butera, and Phil Harris, that's for sure.
Unfortunately, a lot of late-60s through mid-80s Disney loses points for all the recycled animation. One of those things that can't be unseen.
I think Hotel Transylvania is probably the funniest of all cartoon movies.
Yeah. Agreed. So many scenes are shared with Robin Hood. Another I always liked for the music.
Love that music. Couldn't get enough of the soundtrack growing up.

Wall-E is still my favorite. Of the old movies, gotta be Dumbo.
Anyone see Over the Hedge? I liked Steve Carrell as a cracked out squirrel
HAVE ALL that on loop, good method to babysit
