Time Magazine has compiled a list of animated features that are considered the best of all time. Usually, whenever I see these lists on US websites, I always groan knowing that anime films like "My Neighbor Totoro" will be, once again, neglected. But interestingly enough, some anime films make it on to the list - "Paprika", "Akira" & "Spirited Away" all make it on the top 25 list.
Your thoughts on the list?
I realize that the list is one person's opinion, rather than a list decided on by many, but, I thought some of the selections were rather odd. No Fantasia. No Beauty and the Beast. No Shrek. But yet...we have Dumbo? All of them, I thought, were much more exceptional in terms of the radical changes they made on the animation field than...well, Pinocchio. But, as I mentioned earlier, it was nice to see anime featured on the list.... |
