Spoiler alert: there is neither “Prostokvashino” or “Well, wait a minute!”
Love for cartoons does not end with childhood. That is why many animation films are designed not so much for children as for their moms and dads. And at the box office, such films collect no less than blockbusters with ordinary actors who are not drawn. For example, the cartoon “Frozen” grossed over a billion dollars. Slightly less “fees” for the fish from “Finding Nemo”.
Recently, analysts from the 24/7 Wall Street agency have compiled a rating of the best cartoons of all time. The list includes one hundred animated films. We took into account the commercial success of the tapes, critics’ reviews, audience survey data and viewer reviews – in general, they came up comprehensively.
The list includes not only Hollywood cartoons, but also foreign ones. In particular, a lot of Japanese turned out to be: anime culture in the Land of the Rising Sun is still well developed. Hayao Miyazaki’s drawn film, for example, is a cult.
But there were no Russian cartoons in the rating. Not a single one. Although our “Masha and the Bear” and “Smeshariki” have long broken out of the country and are conquering the world with might and main.
The first place was taken by the animation film “The Grave of the Fireflies”, originally from Japan. He talks about the events of the Second World War. The last one is “Inhabitants of the Hills”, filmed in 1978. In the Russian box office, he came out under the name “The Sent Ship”. In addition, the list includes “Winnie the Pooh” (American), “The Adventures of Tintin”, “Despicable Me”, “Rango”, “Kung Fu Panda”, “The Little Mermaid” and other films that are well known to us.
