Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films

  Trevor's 100 Favorite Animated Films      Animation is my favorite film technique. I have always been drawn (hehe) to the medium. Perhaps it’s because it is the most impressive form of filmmaking since practically everything has to be made from scratch. Or perhaps it is because animation is the ultimate escapism: A temporary entrance into a world entirely different from our own. All of these films resonate with me for many reasons: Their animation style, story, enjoyment, and sometimes even a big dash of nostalgia. It is not based on what the general consensus is on quality and influence. In the comments, I will post a link to the rest of the list of 4 stars+ animated films. From feature length computer animated epics to short stop motion flicks, here are my top 100: 100. Fantastic Mr. Fox  (2009) (Director: Wes Anderson) 99. Presto  (2008) (Director: Doug Sweetland) 98. Duck Amuck (1953) (Director: Chuck Jones) 97 . The Cat Concerto (1947) (Director...
