"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Up, Cars, Ratatouille, Monsters vs. Aliens, Kung fu Panda, and Bolt have no business being on that list.
Understandably! I think I like Princess Mononoke the least of the Miyazaki films I've watched. Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, Spirited Away, and even Porco Rosso are better than Princess Mononoke.
I like Pixar films, but I don't think any of them - even Up - compare to classic Disney. I'm not just saying that as if I grew up watching my favorite Disney movies and can't kick the nostalgia, because I didn't. I didn't watch The Little Mermaid until 2004 or 2005, and I didn't watch Beauty and the Beast until 2006, I think.
Up is very much like a Miyazaki film.
I like them all, but Totoro is like, bottom Tier Miyazaki, even if it was good. It doesn't even have much of a conflict. I mean, most classic disney films are more enjoyable. It shouldn't have been higher then near the bottom of the list.
Why does it need a conflict? That's what is so great about Totoro, it's not like so many animated films, there's no villain or anything, it's just a simple tale told beautifully. Totoro and Spirited Away are two of the best films I've ever seen.

I agree!
Conflict keeps movies interesting. Without conflict, whats there to resolve? The movie doesn't really show much growth in characters, the feelings and emotions remain static through the movie.
It was really well told, but it still lacked much dynamic, though I might be using the wrong word there.
I'm really not sure how anyone can feel this way.Wall-E, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo are far, far more brilliant, thoughtful, touching, and meaningful than any other animated movies I've ever seen and, in fact, pretty much any other movies period. Regular Disney stuff, whilst often very good, is a lot more prosaic and uninspired, in my eyes.
I've never cried at any classic Disney - Finding Nemo and Wall-E make me cry every time. So I guess that's the easiest way of putting it
On another note, never really got the fuss about Miyazaki personally.
Miyazaki gets appreciation for his talent at immersing the viewer into a new world with each movie. I'm happy a few of his movies were on it.
A lot of the newer movies do not deserve to be on that list though. Like Bolt and Monsters vs Aliens.
Overall the list has a lot of good movies on it, some overrated movies and UP is #1 because it's so new.
A movie that always makes me cry is grave of the fireflies. It's so sad.
You know what? The Cowboy Bebop Movie trumps all that list.
Were was Bebop?
What I meant by, "not as bad" was that Cars wasn't at #1
No way. Finding Nemo is way overrated; I hate it, actually. Wall-E is great/original/and then some, but in a cute, fleeting way, I think (I probably won't watch it again). A Bug's Life is a Pixar film, isn't it? I love that movie. I haven't watched The Incredibles or Monsters Inc., because they're so ugly (xD), even though I've heard great things about them, but Disney's older films have a greater impact on me. Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who's favorite show is Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, though. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs makes me cry and laugh; Beauty and the Beast makes me cry and laugh; The Little Mermaid makes me laugh and made Jeremy want to cry once; The Lion King makes me cry and laugh; and Pocahontas makes me cry. Pretty much every classic Disney film has characters I love, music I love (most of the MP3s in my music player are Disney songs), and happy endings that I love. I LOVE FAIRY TALES!I'm really not sure how anyone can feel this way.

Miyazaki movies are so MAGICAL! Do you know the scene in Howl's Moving Castle in which Sophie first meets Howl and the two of them walk in the sky above town? I get so happy and excited when I watch that scene (it's my favorite scene in the whole movie), and I've watched it dozens of times. It's so cool. =O
No movies make me as happy as The Little Mermaid and Howl's Moving Castle do. I go through phases in which I watch them over and over again for days and/or weeks. =O
I wrote a long paragraph or two - I tend to babble.
Instead I'll write this:
I liked Up, a lot.
The only Disney Movies I feel have lasted well are the Aladin Movies and Mulan.
Yes, I liked all the Aladdin Movies.
