I'll admit that I don't read any of IGN's Top ### articles. I know I'll fanboy rage if I read them. But I was bored in the middle of the night and saw a video on IGN's channel. "IGN's Best Animated Movie of All Time". I couldn't rage in the middle of the night, so I watched it. Can't say much on #5 since watched the SHIT out of it as a child, but I can't remember it exactly. I actually still haven't seen #2 yet. I suck.

Uhh, yeah. It's just me that's raging at BEAUTY AND THE MOTHERFUCKING BEAST being IGN's pick for the best animated movie of all time, right? I know it's IGN...but Goddangit, it's just...Goddangit. Your thoughts?
Beauty and the Beast isn't even the best "Disney Renaissance" film (The Lion King is).
And IGN's reasoning was bullpoop.
Frankly a lot of this list was poorly constructed, although not surprising considering IGN. Someone please tell me how Secret of NIMH (Don Bluth's best work) and Wallace and Gromit aren't here.
And the South Park Movie? Fucking really IGN? Yea it was funny but it's just a long episode of South Park. That doesn't count. Oy. And Ghost in the Shell is behind Sleeping Beauty WTF!?
I'm not going to complain with that choice, as 1) everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and 2) I personally love Beauty and the Beast. Sure, it isn't my favorite animated movie ever, but it ranks high up there (my personal favorite from the Disney Renaissance).
lol
Pixar ruled the list for 4-2. 5 was random as hell. Iron Giant was just King Kong with a big robot. And number 1 being Beauty and the Beast was strange. It is good, yeah, but Disney has SO many good movies that are as good, if not better, than this movie. But nothing beats the musical number of this one.
Anyone how badmouths Iron Giant doesn't have good taste. Bah. Just Bah.

What makes it so special? Really, think about it, and it does seem SO similar to King Kong it's not even funny. I compared it to a great movie, I wasn't badmouthing it. Don't worry, the movie still has a place in my collection.
It is actually my 5th favorite movie of all time. And I've always thought that way. Don't worry. I just didn't think IGN was going to even mention it.

the only real similarity between the two is that it's a giant thing as the title character. To be honest the two aren't alike at all...

You're wrong. King Kong picks up a bomb in New York and flies off to the space where he explodes with it while Iron Giant climbs up the cafe with Hogan calling out for help while helicopters shoot the robot down.
I do not see The Lion King anywhere on this list.
I am disappointed.
I don't know about Toy Story 2 deserving #4...
I liked the original more.
I never actually saw Iron Giant fully, so I can't really say anything about that.

Lion King is on there. But it's too low. Well, it should've been higher than Beauty and the Beast at least.
I actually think WALL-E should have been number one. Don Hertzfeld should have gotten some love on here two. Meh to some of the ones that made the cut. And not even a nod to Shrek?

At what spot? I'm guessing it's not in the Top 5, which is all I saw.
Numbers one and two should have been Toy Story one and two. It doesn't matter what order, I love them the same. <3

Shrek's sequels killed the allure.
lol IGN + the word "#1"
never a good mix

Shrek 2 wasn't that bad. It was good, until my niece ruined it for me, personally.
Shrek 3, on the other hand...
I've kinda lost faith in IGN lists. But this isn't a bad top choice.
Beauty and the Best was the only animated film ever Oscar nominated for Best Film (not just best animated), so I can see that giving it some points.
I wouldn't even think about putting my personal favorites on the list (South Park, Pokemon the First, etc) just cuz I realize I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully critique a movie (I know it's subjective, but like, what makes a movie "good?"). But it's usually safe to say, if Disney made it, it's pretty good.
