Norton Virgien's Favorites
1. Fantasia (Disney, 1940) -- Such grand ambition.
2. Allegro Non Troppo by Bruno Bozzetto (1976) -- Fantasia alternative.
3. Dumbo (Disney, 1941) -- It's simple, sweet and nearly perfect.
4. The Castle of Cagliostro by Hayao Miyazaki (1979) -- We all learned from this one.
5. Ralph Bakshi's Heavy Traffic (1973) -- Certainly not Disney.
6. Yellow Submarine (TVC, 1968) -- Also not Disney.
7. The Secret of NIMH by Don Bluth (1982) -- The challenge that re-awoke Disney.

9. Toy Story (Disney/Pixar, 1995) -- Simply brilliant.
