Honestly, seeing the number of people who have voted Fantasia over Coraline and Fox and the Hound over Ratatouille makes me lose all faith in the M/TV board.

I appreciate Fantasia, but I don’t love it. Sorry, Coraline just entranced me a little more.

There's no way you could have seen Fox and the Hound in the last 20 years and vote it over a top 2-3 Pixar movie, just no way.

People are letting nostalgia affect their lens. I highly doubt that like 80% of the people who voted for Sword in the Stone over Princess Mononoke have seen the later. Seriously, name one thing that The Sword and the Stone does better? Mononoke has it beat in everything: characters, some of the greatest animation ever, direction, the magic, the soundtrack, the voice acting, the themes, the tension, the action, and the ending is perfect.

It’s one of the very few films I would describe as perfect, and the Sword in the Stone is not a perfect movie. It’s just a bunch of loosely related stories that have hardly anything to do with the actual plot that really could be skipped and the movie be 30 minutes long. I don’t dislike The Sword in the Stone, but it hasn’t aged well at all.

I dislike Fantasia and Coraline. I have no need to watch either. Fantasia is at least something different.
