What is your favorite bit of animation?

[Morrigoon]

I've thought about it, and I simply can't pick.

I can name ELEMENTS of animated works that stand out - obviously for me the Eyvind Earle backgrounds for Sleeping Beauty would be a standout there.

There are scenes I could name, but they are so iconic that they're almost not worth mentioning (Fairy godmother scene from Cinderella, for a starter), but more of a standout to me were some of the elements of that film. Cinderella's plucky, rebellious nature comes across much better in the film than the vapid modern-day representations of princesses Disney offers these days, so much so that I think many of us forget about it until we give the film a re-watch. Also love some of the design elements in Cinderella - the railings on the bridge they cross during "So This Is Love". The play of silver on midnight blue in many of those ball scenes (long shot of the castle, walking around outside with the prince etc.)

I'm also a huge fan of the Rankin-Bass stop-motion animation. Their drawn stuff, not so much, but definitely the stop motion. I'm rather fond of Leprechaun's Christmas Gold as an overall piece.
