150 best animations of all time (from 2003 Laputa Festival)

At the 2003 Laputa Animation Festival in Tokyo, 140 animation artists and film critics from around the world were asked to list what they thought were the 20 best animated films or animated series. These lists were then combined into one list with 150 titles on it. Many films from the finished list were shown at the festival that year, and after that it was made into a Japanese -language book about animation (like Jerry Beck's The 50 Greatest Cartoons list, though this one had entries from three different continents rather than from just North America).

The 2003 Laputa list was widely reported on in the Russian press because places #1 and #2 were taken by Yuriy Norshteyn's films Hedgehog in the Fog and Tale of Tales. Russian reporters also mentioned with pride that 11 entries were from the Soyuzmultfilm studio, and only four from Disney's. However, none of those news releases mentioned what the full list was, and it was barely mentioned in the English press at all ...

Thanks to niffiwan who found Japanese version of the list somewhere in the comments in the depth of the internet .

Пока хочу скачать 50 лучших из этих мультфильмов. У кого есть желание помочь оставляйте ссылки на них, особенно на иностранные, в комментариях. Язык русский и/или английский. В крайнем случае достаточно английских субтитров и дорожки оригинала.
