Some of my all-time favorite animated films
This is a compilation of movies from far back into my childhood up until now that I'm extremely fond of. I think it would be a good idea to keep track of them as the list gradually continues to build itself. However, most Disney, Dreamworks and Pixar films will be excluded for the sake of this list keeping to a reasonable length.
