Some great films on this list, though controversially I chose to snub the likes of SNOW WHITE, JUNGLE BOOK, ALADDIN and WALL-E. It was too close to call but the likes of TARZAN in terms of its visual beauty and its music was enough to convince me to place it on the list, while SOUTH PARK would have been a popular choice for many. However nothing could stop TOY STORY 3 which despite being the more recent film on the list was the most superb and acclaimed choice I could go for and from my perspective, my favourite Animated Film, to infinity and beyond!
