NEW YORK (Bolt Media/ www.bolt.com) - Pixar films may rule at the multiplex, but according to members of Bolt, the leading community and entertainment site among 13-24, Disney classics top the list of the greatest animated movies of all-time.
The 1994 Disney film "The Lion King," featuring a soundtrack by Elton John, led the list, followed by "Beauty and the Beast," "Mulan," and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."
Pixar, which currently has a blockbuster with "The Incredibles," makes two appearances in the top ten, with "Finding Nemo" (5) and "Toy Story 2" (7).
"This list shows that young people still connect with old-school animation," says Kevin Wicks, editor of movies/TV for Bolt. "There even appeared to be a small backlash against the CGI films. Members voted for the classics they enjoyed as kids."
Bolt members were asked to submit their favorite animated movies. The votes were tabulated, and a panel of 300 handpicked film fans on the site selected the final top 10 from that list.
Here is the complete list of BOLT'S TOP 10 GREATEST ANIMATED MOVIES:
