C4's "100 greatest cartoons" this Sunday

[Paul]

I was actually surprised Battle of the Planets was classed as outright Japanese anime too, though with that animation style I did suspect. Well, coming up to the top 50 and it's still looking like certain anime have played a blinder to get this far considering the likes of Snow White are already gone.

*Ut-oh, another pre-show warning about adult animation*

Only Fritz the cat

Should of been a swearing warning for the Scooby Doo bit though

 

[Rurouni H]

Good thing there wasn't any anime in there really, it means the rest of the choices definately got into the top 50...

Should have been a warning about scrappy-doo being on screen

 

[Suiseiseki]

No warning of adult content, though, Mononoke may be in the Top 40.

 

[Rurouni H]

Ah, Pokemon appears...

 

[kupocake]

Pokemon... 45

 

[Red XIII]

So, Pokemon finally makes its appearance at #45.

 

[IanC]

Pokemon!!!

And they are using footage from the first (and best) season.

 

[Suiseiseki]

I think Pokemon's negative effect on the public's view of anime was greater than that of Overfiend.

I blame the merchandising....

 

[Paul]

I was glad to see Samurai Jack made it into the top 50.

Haha, and Transformers too. I used to love that show (got the movie on DVD for nostalgic purposes )

Here's hoping Mononoke makes the top 30.

I have the whole series, in the LE tin

 

[Suiseiseki]

Mononoke in the 35...

 

[Anonymous]

Ahhh! I can't wait to see Princess Mononoke and prove to my familiy that ir's not PG rated porn...

 

[Suiseiseki]

Princess Mononoke, Akria and Sprited Away > Mickey Mouse.

 

[Rurouni H]

Take that, Disney.

 

[Paul]

Well, Mononoke has made the top 28. Fantastic performance for a movie almost completely unknown to the British mainstream. Now, I reckon it'll be placed at 21st

 

[kupocake]

Surely Mononoke is 22 or 21... I really hope that the Radio Times was wrong!

 

[Rurouni H]

Its annihilated Disney's stuff in any case...
