Which do you prefer - Disney, Warner Brothers, Pixar or...?

[Loony BoB]

Let's treat Pixar as separate from Disney in this poll because that's how they started out. So, who do you prefer making your animated films?

EDIT: I have never found it so hard to vote in one of my own polls. Oh man. :(

[Scotty_ffgamer]

It was hard to pick, but I went with Disney in the end just because they have made more of my favorite animated movies than the others. Pixar does have better consistency, though.

I should say Studio Ghibli is probably tied with Disney for me, though.

[Bubba]

I voted Pixar based purely on the examples that you gave in the poll :p

It's a close call between them and Disney though.

EDIT: Where is the Studio Ghibli option?

[Shauna]

"If it's not anime, I don't care to watch it" is the option you are looking for. ;)

[Bubba]

True, but I still think they are a big enough company to warrant their own name in the poll.

Sort it out, Mr. BoB!

[Loony BoB]

While I know Studio Ghibli, I don't know the other anime studios out that way so figured I'd leave it to the studios focusing on Western audiences for now. I also figured this means I can do an anime film poll later down the line. :)

[Agent Proto]

I cannot decide. :( I'll go with Pixar since they have the best quality animated movies from the list.

[blackmage_nuke]

I think The Brave Little Toaster is a Disney Movie.

I'd say Disney because they make good 2d and 3d movies even without Pixar.

Though there are some absolutely lovely Anime Films out there

[Loony BoB]

I think The Brave Little Toaster is a Disney Movie.
Hyperion Pictures made it with the best wishes of Disney (who had rejected it).

[noxious.sunshine]

Studio Ghibli pretty much teams up with Disney when they release English dubs of their films anyway.

I'm not sure if they did with Princess Mononoke or Kiki's Delivery Service or Howl's Moving Castle (or anything else for that matter), but I -know- they did for Spirited Away 'cuz John Lasseter helped produce/coordinate it. And I know Ponyo was linked to Disney as well, though IDK if John Lasseter had a hand in that one.

I'm not voting on this. They've all got strong merits in my book. XD

[Jess]

Why do I have to choose? :(

[Shorty]

I don't care about any of these things more than the other except Disney, for their old films. They've put out a lot of good stuff, but they've also put out a lot of junk. Can't choose. Would choose Ghibli if it were there, because I love all of their films I've seen.

[Sephex]

It was a tough call, but I voted for Pixar. They had the fewest missteps, in my opinion. If Studio Ghibli was an actual option, I would have struggled to pick even longer.

[Aulayna]

Disney Pixar. But for the sake of the poll, Disney.

[Jiro]

You had me at Space Jam.

[Miss Mae]

I voted Disney, not because my favourite animated movie is a Disney one, but because the majority of movies lower down on my list of favourites are from Disney.

[Loony BoB]

It took me this long to vote in the poll and I've opted for DreamWorks. As much as I love TENG, I find DreamWorks stuff to be better in the modern age. Pixar is naturally the more famous option but I feel DreamWorks stuff is what I look forward to more.

[noxious.sunshine]

You had me at Space Jam.

lol One of my fave things to do is get drunk, play NBA2K14 w my bf, and blast the Space Jam theme song.

[Freya]

Shit this is a hard one. I'm going to go with pixar as of late. Disney is starting to come back up (since they absorbed pixar, who'd have thunk) after their 90's high they were okay.... Pixar has been consistently good. Although dreamworks makes some very good shit though. httyd is awesome

[Kalevala]

The anime option is a little misleading. It's not that I refuse to watch anything that isn't anime, it's just that I prefer it overall compared to the other choices. These studios have all produced some pretty great stuff.

[Shlup]

I love animation in general. Disney, Miyazaki, Lasseter, Bluth... Glenn Keane is an idol of mine (creator of all the best Disney characters). I also have a fondness for stop motion as an art form, though the only feature length stop motion film that I can think of that I love is The Adventures of Mark Twain.

For funsies, here's probably the best part of The Adventures of Mark Twain:

They have no excuse for Cars 2 (and I don't think Cars 1 was very good). Planes wasn't Pixar though so that one is on Disney!

You're right; John Lasseter was in on it but it was a Disney fail.

Whats really disturbing is to the clay children, making people out of clay would be like regular children making people out of raw meat

[maybee]

Going to shock and surprise you all here. Disney.

[Shiny]

I prefer Disney for 2D, and Pixar for 3D. There are tons of other companies that do 3D animation just as good: Blue Sky, etc. but their stories just aren't as good. Dreamworks animation has How to Train Your Dragon, but they still have a long way to go before they can catch up to Disney and Pixar in terms of animation.

[Loony BoB]

Megamind > HTTYD. They're both awesome, though. And then there's Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens, Chicken Run, Shark Tale and The Croods. I'd say they're doing okay!

Admittedly I don't think many of them have the most incredible stories, but I tend to be more in it for the laughs than the dramaz when it comes to animated film.

I do agree that Disney rock the 2D animation world, though. I've yet to see anything seriously compete, and that includes everyone's precious Studio Ghibli. I just love Disney's 2D epics (and not-so-epics).

[Shlup]

I hope you drown.

[Calliope]

Disney for movies - but can I point out how fucking great Warner Brothers are at animated TV shows? Freakazoid, Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman of the Future (or Batman Beyond, depending on where you live), Taz-Mania, The Zeta Project, etc. etc.

While we're on the subject though, fuck the new Peanuts movie, that's nonsense.

[Fynn]

Disney, by far. Just for giving me Frozen. And an MA topic :3:

In your teeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars? :heart: I really do like Studio Ghibli's stuff, I think I've seen them all and a few of them multiple times. I just don't feel they're as entertaining as The Lion King, Aladdin or The Emperor's New Groove. I love my comedy in my cartoons.

[Mirage]

The OP is terrible for not listing the iron giant as a WB example.

Anyway, I tend to like disney movies more consistently, but WB and Dreamworks has some really good spikes. I have no idea what to pick on this poll. It should have more specific studios and be multiple choice :(.

[Shiny]

Almost forgot that it was Warner Bros. that made The Iron Giant which is one of the best 2D animated films I've seen in terms of story. It made me cry more than The Lion King. Still, Disney 2D films are the shit. 3D not so much. I will not get behind the cult that is Frozen fans.

[Mirage]

My 9 year old cousin made fun of me for crying to the iron giant when I was like 20 (we watched it together). That upset me so much that i scolded her for it. She started crying and I had to calm her down so she didn't run off to tell my aunt about it.

Guess I was too emotional to think that through at the moment!
