If you’re building your Netflix queue or simply looking to add to your DVD collection, there are plenty of suggestions to be found in the Zagat Survey 2006 Movie Guide. A compendium of more than 1,350 top movies, including animated favorites, the guide offers ratings and reviews of films selected by more than 12,000 movie buffs.
Moviegoers surveyed in the book chose Disney’s Fantasia as the top classic animated feature, followed by Snow White in second place and Pinocchio, Cinderella, Bambi and Lady and the Tramp all tying for third. Meanwhile, Disney/Pixar flicks rule the modern toon category, leading with Finding Nemo and Toy Story. Third place is a run-off between DreamWorks’ Shrek and Shrek 2, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles and Monsters, Inc.
In the list of the 100 Favorite Films of All Time, the only animated entry to make the cut is DreamWorks’ Shrek. The fairytale comedy comes in at No. 38, well ahead of such live-action favorites as E.T., Doctor Zhivago, Some Like It Hot and Titanic.
