Default Top 5 family films (animated)

As per request, a tough category to whittle down, especially with all the excellent additions since Pixar came into view. Do your best. I don't think there's really a wrong answer here.

1. The Incredibles
2. The Iron Giant
3. Toy Story (any of the 3)
4. How to Train Your Dragon
5. The Secret of Nimh

HM: Aladdin, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Spirited Away and just about anything Studio Ghibli, and…anything that Pixar has done…literally anything could and should be in the top 5 of all time. That's saying something. Up, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Cars, Monsters Inc. etc. All amazing films.

Wow, I haven't seen any on your list, but then again my daughter is only 5 months old. I did watch the second half of Frozen on the movie channel last Saturday morning. Man is that movie overrated. Its just a typical formulaic Disney movie. I have no idea why it was hyped so.

Lion King is probably tops for me and can't think of any else that really stand out as top movies.

Iron Giant was amazing. Great story and great animation for a movie that was a bit off the mainstream radar.

Plus it features everyone's favourite voice actor from Guardians of the Galaxy in his early voice acting years

Lego Movie - would watch it alone more than once and my kids love it.
Frozen - i would argue its the oppisite of formulaic, It entirely avoids the needing a prince cliche. Also if you missed the first half you missed the entire start of the plot and mot of the good music which is pretty important to the enjoyment of the movie
Lion King
Toy Story 3
Finding Nemo

You do realize that this isn't a thread for top 5 second rate animated films right?

OK, no seriously, I do not understand this list at all.

According to my children (6 and nearly 8). The order is stream of consciousness random.

1) Frozen

2) How To Train Your Dragon (with a very forceful "The first one NOT the second one" from my daughter)

3) LEGO Movie (we watched again this weekend...so many little things you miss the first few times around. Will Arnett and Chris Pratt did a tremendous job with the voice acting).

4) Toy Story 3 ("though the other two are really really good to")

"Okay kids you are down to one more pick"

"Despicable Me, no, Mega Mind, no Despicable Me 2"

So let's call it....5) Despicable Mind 1.5.

"what about Brave and Tangled?" "ooo daddy those are really good to...."

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit (stop-motion is still animation)
Up (see Fantasia comments)

If you're referring to this montage, then yes, a thousand times yes. I bawl every time I watch this.



sorry for the quality, best I could find without different music and editing…stupid internet.

Since Up was mentioned a lot in this thread figured I would leave this here.



Also my list, athough no chance to keep this to just 5

Toy Story
Lion King
Aladdin
Despicable Me
Cars
Up
101 Dalmations

Pretty much any Disney movie that was a feature film that was successful in the box office.
