Poll Smoking

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.
