Pat Wick's Top Ten Toon List

I have given this lots of thought. I have this broken down by types of animated work. They are in no real order.

Warner Brothers Shorts:

• "Feed the Kitty"
  This is probably my favorite short cartoon of all time. It is the first one starring Marc Anthony (the bulldog) and Pussy Foot (the adorable mostly black kitten). This is the one where he finds and adopts the kitten but he cannot let his owner know (she warned him not to bring home any more pets).
  
  
• "One Froggy Evening"
  Starring Michigan J. Frog (yes, I knew his name before he became the mascot for the WB television network). If you haven't seen it, it wouldn't do any good to describe why I think it is so good.
  
  
• "One Million Box" & "Ali Babba Bunny" & "Duck Amuck"
  I grouped these together because they are quintessential Daffy. He attempts to get away with about everything but the main thing that stops him is, well, himself. Lines like "I wonder if that silly duck will remember that he can fly?.. I guess not." are pure genius.
  
  
• "Long Haired Hare"
  Bugs vs. the Opera singer in a tale that quite literally brings the house down.
  
  
• Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote
  I'm using the same excuse as everyone else - that they are able to be edited into one long cartoon.
  
  
• "Rabbit Seasoning", "Rabbit Fire", & "Duck, Rabbit, Duck"
  Same with this set. Daffy attempts to get Bugs shot by Elmer. The quick tempered, slow witted duck always ends up getting the worst of it.

Disney Full Length:

• Beauty and the Beast
  I would say that this is the best of their lot. The heroine brings it all on herself, in fact she gets exactly what she is yearning for. The Beast (hero) is not a prince charming type. You believe that they fall in love. The villain is a big jerk - I think we all went to high school with someone like him. Besides how could I not include a movie that has one of my favorite life lessons - "Never attack an enchanted kitchen"? I mean, duh.
  
  

TV series:

• Anamaniacs
  More WB/Spielberg genius. A cartoon show that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults. Side note - why does Warner Bros. fail at full length cartoons as much as Disney cannot do shorts? There are some exceptions, sure, not many though. Just a pondering.

Computer generated:

• Luxor Jr. (by Pixar)
  This is their first short they did. I think it is the best computer generated one I have ever seen. The 2 lamps are still lamps. They do not smile or have eyebrows or change shape to convey the story. For those that have never seen it go to Toy Story 2 , it is playing there. (Heck how can you fill out a top 10 list on this and not see Toy Story 2?)

Independent:

• Vincent
  I don't know who did this, sadly I do not have a copy either. It is about this little boy named Vincent who wants to grow up to be Vincent Price (narrated by Vincent Price - I believe the last project he did before he died).
