Hey guys this is purely out of interest and not for any film or media studies class. I would also appreciate any thoughts on this topic.

Question:
What is your favourite animation type/company?

Choices:
Old style Disney
Modern day e.g Pixar/Dreamworks
Manga e.g. Stuido Ghibli

 

I love the older Disney films my fav is bambi

Personally I prefer the studio ghibli films. I know that some of the animation is no where near as good as some of the pixar stuff, but the story lines are far superior. I mean films like spirited away and princess monokoe are have far better story lines than the likes of over the hedge.

Old style Disney for me, but the films that Pixar are coming up with (Finding Nemo/The Incredibles) are also fantastic.

It's British all the way for me. Watership Down,The Plague Dogs,Pink Floyd's The Wall,
Animal Farm,The Yellow Submarine,When The Wind Blows,The Water Babies,The BFG and the films made by Aardman Animations especially Chicken Run.

i do like lion king!

I thought that you would

Hakuna Matata!

I much prefer princess monokoe, it has a great story line and the animation is superb.

Haven't seen it but Spirited Away was good. Howl's Moving Castle was okay but I found the plot too confusing; I often find Japanese cartoons have very complicated plots.

I like the plots, they may sometimes be complicated, but they are better than the disney ones. One of my favourite films of all time is Akira, it is brilliant and a must see for fans of manga films.

It's hard to compare the different types .. I love the classic Disney movies, but the Pixar movies are pretty amazing too

If i had to choose my favs would be Toy Story, Monsters inc and Shrek plus old disnet movies. Theyve been bringing out too many of these films recently, they should focus on 1 and make it really good!

It seems that most people are going towards the old style diseny, I must admit I was never all that in to disney films when I was younger, I got into amime films when I was older, they just seem so much more engaging than the disney films.

Cell animation is great. Still the best animation asthetically anyway. I'm going with old Disney.

I do quite like cell animation esspically in video games.

I think..pixar/dreamworks

I would like to thank every one for their comments so far.

Wind in the willows,with the stop motion animation,and with David Jason as the voice of Toad.

I love all three of those styles, I have all the Studio Ghibli films, but Pixar is just amazing. Not only because the animation is fantastic but the stories are all brilleant.

I can't wait for Wall-E!

Great choices

I think the Pixar/Dreamworks films are great for both children and adults.

I love Bugs life and Mulan because at the time when I was little they were my favourite movies. Disney for me and Pixar

I like them all, but if i had to choose it would have to be old school, i love Snowwhite and the seven dwarfs and The jungle book.

Old style Disney,for the animation and storyline and Pixar for the humour!
