The 50 Greatest Cartoons: Difference between revisions

 

An official list of '''''The 50 Greatest Cartoons'''''<ref>''i.e.'', cartoon '''short films''' -- neither full-length features nor television episodes are included</ref>, compiled in 1994 by animation historian Jerry Beck of [[Cartoon Brew]], along with many others in the animation field. The criterion was that each short be under 30 minutes long and cel animated (with ''Gertie the Dinosaur'' as the exception, predating cels). Tellingly, 43 of the shorts are from [[The Golden Age of Animation]] <ref>with two shorts from [[The Silent Age of Animation]], two shorts from [[The Dark Age of Animation]], and three shorts from [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]</ref> and 17 of them are from from the [[Warner Bros]] studio (a full 1/5 of the list having been directed by [[Chuck Jones]]).
