TIME Magazine's Top 25 Animated Films

Well it looks like Cars 2 is Pixar's first critical bomb, it is disheartening, but not that surprising, and it will still be a huge box office success. So in order to remind us all of just how great animation can be TIME Magazine's Richard Corliss has done his rankings of the Top 25 Animated Films. It makes me want to make a list sometime, and I will add it to my list of to-do's. Anyway, here is the list, and it is definitely different than my personal list, excluding such classics as Fantasia, Iron Giant, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Incredibles, Ratatoutille, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Shrek, the last couple being particualrly offensive (especially with Happy Feet making the list).

25. Lady and the Tramp (1955)
24. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
