Today’s IMDB poll asks which of these animated movies in the IMDb Top 250 is your favorite?

I’m guessing whoever wrote this poll gets confused by foreign languages because the #1 rated animated movie (Miyazaki’s delightful Spirited Away) and #7 (Takahata’s beautiful and heart-rending Grave of the Fireflies) are not on it. I suspect someone saw the Disney titles and recognized Mononoke out of the corner of their eye.

And frankly, I disagree with the IMDB rankings anyway. Any top ten than includes both Toy Story movies and Shrek but not Snow White or My Neighbor Totoro has been compiled by twerps.
