The last part of my top 20!  Just so everyone knows I DO NOT have a specific order.  These are just my top twenty favs.  So they are not labeled in order of “greatness”.  I’ve had a few people ask me about this.  :P

4. Beauty and the Beast

I’m sure everyone knows this movie so I don’t really have to explain it much.  The animation is beautiful, the characters are great and the music is excellent.  It’s another of the 90′s Disney classics.  I haven’t got much else to add about it so I’ll leave it at this!

3. Howl’s Moving Castle

This movie is strange but good. The story is something I never would have expected of guessed how it would end. It is so out of the norm from what I usually watch, but that’s one thing I love about it. Recently found out it’s based off a book too, I must get my hands on it. Anyways tis a great movie, good animation, music, and characters. Everything is memorable about it, I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys fantasy movies.

2. Toy Story

I always loved this one from a little kid on up. Although it sparked the fall of 2D. It is still one of my favorites. Great characters, nice story, excellent animation, and for the time ground breaking. The music is nice, even if I’m not a big fan of Randy Newman, the white man with a black man’s voice. None of the characters sing either! Yay! That would not have fit in the movie anyways.

1.  An American Tail 1&2

Ok yeah so it’s not just one movie but I  kind of clump these two together because they are equal in excellence.  I loved both of them, however their other sequels…not so much.  We won’t go there though.  The first was directed by Don Bluth and everything has the grungy type style that he is known for, the second was updated in the 90′s and directed by Steven Spielburg.  The animation isn’t quite as grungy as the first and the character designs have changed slightly.  I do prefer some of the designs in the sequel over that of the first one but overall they both have great animation.  Both stories are good, the first is more emotion driven and the second is more comedy.  Both have singing mice, but at least they are short songs and most are pretty good.  The scores are great on both, they are two of my favorites from Horner.  Not much else to say on that!  :)
