Napoleon, you’re breaking my balls here. Outside of the Aristocats, the Rescuers (the sequel is far superior), and the Black Cauldron, The Sword in the Stone is the most forgetable animated Disney film of the 1900s. I don’t hear anyone ever bringing up this movie.

I just don’t see how anyone can possibly defend The Sword in the Stone being a better movie than Princess Mononoke. Maybe if you’re under 10, but Mononoke is a fricking masterpiece. It’s at worst in the Top 5 greatest animated films ever made. Granted Princess Mononoke isn’t as funny (although Jigo has some great dark humor) and isn’t for the kiddies, but it has it beat in every other regard. I bet a very sizable portion of the people voting for Sword in the Stone have never seen Mononoke and are just blindly voting for it since they’ve seen it.

real answer. i just don't like Japanese animation.
Akira is the only Anime I ever really wanted to see again.

I saw Monoke once and don't remember it much. Like Ponyo.

It may be a better movie, but this is all personal opinions.

Sword in the Stone is great. Sure the animation doesn't hold up, but it was the first introduction to Arthurian Legend to most of us.

I can rattle off quite a few Disney movies from the 1900s that are much more forgettable.


Make Mine Music
Fun and Fancy Free
The Great Mouse Detective
(whose really seen the Adventures of Icahbod and Mr Toad?)

I loved Ducktales, anyone remember the movie? I don't.

Or the Doug movie?

I liked the Goofy movie, but I doubt it's ever brought up.

Not everyone wants the same elitist bullshite you’re spewing out of their animated films. Some of us like to be reminded of the iconic characters from our childhood cause it’s ANIMATED. I know very few grown ups who watch cartoons regularly outside of the comedy ones they follow or the occasional anime fans. The stories are often made for kids with adult undertones, yet you’re saying we MUST review them like we’re voting for the Oscars.

By the way, no All Dogs Go To Heaven that Ive seen mentioned...damnit I forgot that one.

You're arguing over 2 shitty movies that a handful of people are even aware exists, but Cars isn't good enough to make the field of 64?
This tournament is lame.
