150 best animations of all time (from 2003 Laputa Festival)

drawing, old man



At the 2003 Laputa Animation Festival in Tokyo, 140 animation artists and film critics from around the world were asked to list what they thought were the 20 best animated films or animated series. These lists were then combined into one list with 150 titles on it. Many films from the finished list were shown at the festival that year, and after that it was made into a Japanese -language book about animation (like Jerry Beck's 50 Greatest Cartoons list, though this one had entries from three different continents rather than from just North America).

The 2003 Laputa list was widely reported on in the Russian press because places #1 and #2 were taken by Yuriy Norshteyn's films Hedgehog in the Fog and Tale of Tales. Russian reporters also mentioned with pride that 11 entries were from the Soyuzmultfilm studio, and only four from Disney's. However, none of those news releases mentioned what the full list was, and it was barely mentioned in the English press at all.



I looked for the full list for a few years before recently finding a partially-translated version posted a year ago at miyazaki_ru. Somebody in the comments linked to a Japanese website which had once had the full list, but which no longer existed. However, thanks to the wonders of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine and Google's Japanese-English translator, I managed to translate the rest of the list and am now "publishing" it in English for the first time. :) (well, ok, the first time was at the pelleas.net forums, where a few nice people helped clear up some remaining translation issues)

Most of these films can be found on video websites like Vimeo or Youtube (some films, such as "Powers of Ten", really benefit from being watched in higher resolution on Vimeo).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a lot of wonderful films on this list that I had not seen before; for example, I had never before known about Karel Zeman's incredible film "Inspirace" (animated with glass figures which were heated and moved into position between frames):

I think that overall, this list is a very good guide for anyone who wants to get a good overview of the best animation from around the world. There are a great number of films here that I have not seen (most of the Japanese ones, for one thing). The countries representated on the list (roughly from most to least) are: Japan, America, Czechoslovakia, Canada, USSR/Russia, France, England, Poland, Sweden.

A pretty good variety, though the omission of German cinema is striking.
The biggest omission in my eyes is Lotte Reiniger's The Adventures of Prince Achmed (the oldest-surviving animated feature). But it seems that this film was very little known until recently (I think the first proper version of the film - with original tinting and title cards - was only released on DVD in 2001).

Some possibly eye-raising inclusions are of Norshteyn's unfinished 20 minutes of footage for The Overcoat (#92). After seeing a few clips from it, though, I think it is very likely deserved.

There are also some films such as Powers of Ten which I hadn't considered to be animation before (though I love the film), and which actually try their best to make you forget about this fact.

Another inclusion that baffled me is #148: Yakult "Miru-Miru" commercial. This seems to be it on Youtube (or possibly one of a series of commercials). I have no idea what makes it significant, but maybe it's historically important in Japan in some way.

    Shock, horror! Snow White is in the top one hundred and fifty! My life is not worth living any longer!







    • niffiwan





      Your words confuse me.






      • Snow White


        telamonides




        I think the person is implying that Snow White is not worthy of being on the list. Of course they must not really like good animation if they cannot see why this film is highly regarded if only for historical reasons.





        • Re: Snow White


          sychuanka





          I think that Snow White is much better then many of cartoons in this list.






  • (Anonymous)




    I have seen juste a little more than a hundred of the films in this list. Most I haven't seen are japanese, some of them I heard of.

    Good list. No perfect I must say. Some curious entries, some missing (I'm thinking of some Chuck Jones which usually make those lists) and weird idea of choosing series as a whole).







  • (Anonymous)




    Are you sure that #31 is the TV series "Tom and Jerry", and not the series of theatrical cartoons? I've never seen any acclaim for the tv series.






    • niffiwan





      You're probably right. The original list mentioned only the directors and the names, not the dates, so that was my mistake.

      Fixed.






  • Error


    (Anonymous)




    There's 21 films or series in that list I haven't seen (though in some case I haven't seen all the Mickey Mouse, neither all the studies by Fischinger). I doubt I'll ever see some of them.

    I noted a error: Number 28, The Magic Fox, it's japanese name is Okonjoruri, which you seem to have wrote as the author's name. The author is Tadanari Okamoto, who made three other films that made the list.

      Thanks, it's now fixed.






  • Small note - again!


    (Anonymous)




    I just bought a Kihachiro Kawamoto DVD (Kino), and they translate number 104 as "The Breaking of Branches Is Forbidden". Now I think certainly your translation may be more accurate, but it's just a small note.
    -Saturnome





    • Re: Small note - again!


      niffiwan





      Thanks again. I changed it, but I added a note that it has another translation. It wasn't actually my translation; you can see it on some websites online.





  • Galaxy Express 999


    (Anonymous)




    I think you made a mistake for #122. The Japanese website says "銀河鉄道999(映画第一作)" which Google translates as "Galaxy Express 999 (his first film)". So I think it's supposed to be the 1979 film, rather than the 1981 sequel "Adieu."

    Anyway thanks for posting the list. It's very useful. I've been trying to watch as many of these as possible.
