Baloo's Top 5 Favorite Non-Disney Animated Movies

Baloo

I GAVE YOU A JOB!
Pretty much what the topic says. I'll give hints for the numbers along the way. The two Spongebob movies are not on this list because if I included them, they'd be first and second.

Hint for #5: Dodo Bird
 
Got it!

5. Ice Age

While not perfect, Ice Age is a really good film to be honest. The three main characters (Manny, Sid, and Diego) are pretty good, the plot of them trying to get a baby back to it's family is good, and most of Scrat's antics with the acorn are funny. It's not quite as good as the films coming up, (largely due to some parts being slow and the main villain being forgettable) but I still feel like this is a very solid film that you should go watch. For favorite character, I'd probably say Sid, as he is pretty funny, but Manny, Diego, and Scrat are all pretty good too.

9.5/10

Hint for #4: Sequel to a film that will be on this list higher up.
 
Descipable Me 2?

Nope. It was...

4. Shrek 2

While I don't like this one as much as the first one (which will be the next one on this list), Shrek 2 is an excellent sequel that's very good. To be honest, I find the songs in this film better then the ones in the first one, but I personally prefer the story and action of the first one. Some of the new characters, particularly Puss in Boots were pretty good, and overall I feel this one is pretty solid.

9.5/10.

Since I revealed #3 in the last post, I'll put it here as well:

3. Shrek

I liked Shrek, even before he became a meme because of that one video. This film I personally find superior to the second one. Shrek is a perfect example of how to make a jerky character correcty IMO, and it makes him my favorite character largely due to Mike Myer's acting. Most of the other characters are all right, and the plot twist that
Fiona is an ogre
was pretty well handled. Donkey, while not overly funny, had some good moments and he never really got annoying. The songs are pretty good too, but I personally prefer the sequel's songs. Overall, Shrek is a classic because he is love and life

10/10.

Hint for #2: Moses
 
You two got it!

2. The Prince of Egypt

This almost made #1, but the film I put ahead I think is more suited for everyone and all types, so I put this film one lower. The film is definitely not a funny film, but the film isn't intended to be, so I'm fine with it. I will say that this film is epic, and I'd say it's objectively better than the film in first. The film has a lot of cool and surprisingly intense action, excellent animation, great music, and does a pretty good job of telling the story of Moses well. For favorite character, probably Moses, though Ramses does an excellent role at being a great villain. Overall, I highly recommend checking this film out, because it's definitely worth your time.

10/10.

Although probably not needed, I'll recap here for the heck of it:
5. Ice Age
4. Shrek 2
3. Shrek
2. The Prince of Egypt

Hint for #1: Can't fight this feeling anymore
 
Horton Hears a Who?

Got it!

1. Horton Hears a Who!

In general, I find the films based off of Dr. Seuss's books to be pretty mediocre. The Grinch and Lorax were just okay and didn't stand out that much, and don't get me started how awful The Cat in the Hat was. However, this one is an exception. The film, while having a few things different, is pretty faithful to the book. The film is also very funny, especially considering that the two main characters, Horton and the Mayor, are voiced by Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell respectively. Some of my favorite gags include the bridge scene, the bunny Vlad who makes cookies, anything Katie does, and the strange, yet hilarious anime scene. The villains in the film, especially Vlad, are pretty good antagonists. While the film can be a little mean-spirited towards the two main characters in a few scenes, it never goes overboard, and the two win in the end, and it's not enough to bring the film down. For favorite character, definitely Horton. He's just a really likable character, and Jim Carrey does an excellent job at making him memorable. While overall, I'd say The Prince of Egypt is objectively better than this film, this one I feel like is more lively and a great film to go to if you want good entertainment. Heck, I'd say both HHAW and TPOE are good enough to compete with most of the better Disney films.

10/10.
