"100 Greatest Cartoons"

It's another channel 4 poll and the nomination's list is rather odd. Some are films, other's TV series', and others are individual characters. There are even a couple that I wouldn't consider to be cartoons, 'The Magic Roundabout' and 'Wallace and Grommit' are both on the list. Also, I know that many of you like Bucky O'Hare but I'm afraid he's not an option.

My votes went to: Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, The Flinstones, Futurama, Hong Kong Phooey, Ren and Stimpy, The Simpsons, South Park, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

There are some odd choices there, I know. Probably should have included Family Guy somewhere.

What a joke. How the hell did Shrek and The Incredibles get in the top ten? There's no way that South Park deserves to be at 3, either. And what was that Spirited Away thing? Looked like Pokemon...

Looney Tunes only a 20? Rubbish.

But still. Good nostalgia. I'd forgotten all about stuff like Droopy Dog. How cool.

I'm with you there, pb. That brought back a lot of memories. Haven't heard of Mr Rossi in a long time.

No Mr Rossi. Bah!

'Viva Viva happiness....'

No Ghostbusters, not sure whether thats a good thing or not.
The first 20 or so minutes of the South Park film are excellent, it dies a bit after that.

Was nice to see Spirited Away appear in the list, a little bit disappointed that there was no Ghost in the Shell though :(

Futurama came 26th, which was a disappointment. Tom and Jerry deserved to be where it was, as did Family Guy.

Walt Disney's nephew (Roy I think) didn't seemed to think that The Lion King is a bit over rated but he was very supportive of all of the other Disney entries. I would say that The Lion King is probably Disney's best animated film ever (followed by The Jungle Book which should have come higher) and it deserved its place in the top ten.

I can't believe the simpsons won this. It really is over-rated. South park and Tom and Jerry beat The Simpsons....
