It's getting near the end of the year, and usually around this time, I would go over all the upcoming animated movies of 2022 that one of the reviewers I watch, AniMat, would release alongside his Top 5 Best and Top 5 Worst Animated Pictures of this year. While I know he's still doing that, and I'll still do one to form my opinions on, this year, I want to do something different. I've always talked about them a bit, but I'm sure some of you are curious to know what my favorite movies of all time are. And yes, while I'm not into a lot of drama movies like Taken and what not, there are still some movies that I have some personal attachment to. And... that's why I'm here today, to talk about my top 12 Favorite Movies of all time. So, let's get started...

12. The Pink Panther (1963): Yep, this little detective/heist movie made it to my top 12 list. Let me explain why. When I was growing up, I knew about the Pink Panther cartoons, and I loved those cartoons to pieces! I even have the Classic Cartoon Collection on DVD in my shelf. But anyway, my first exposure to the movies was when one of my older relatives had a VHS of this movie. And, like many others when they were kids, only watched the titles, then turned it off. Well, I grew up since then and my family got me the Pink Panther movie collection for Christmas one year, and I sat down to watch the first Pink Panther movie and... it's a gem. A hidden gem with some good funny moments, a memorable heist, and all in all, a nice little movie to watch. I love the sequels as well, as they did evolve Clouseau to his more modern character later on, but it's something about the first movie that... had a subtle touch. But yeah, I definitely enjoyed this one to a tee.

11. Mary Poppins (1964): Yeah, this movie is, as Mary Poppins herself puts it, "Practically perfect in every way". It tells a great story about the nanny flying with her umbrella to take care of two kids and help them get through the relationship of a very busy father... and yeah, the soundtrack is just freaking beautiful, I could listen to that soundtrack for hours. Kids would enjoy it for the laughs and fun times with Mary Poppins, but at the same time, I think adults can relate to it too, probably on a more deeper level, especially with Mr. Banks. But yeah, this is one movie I would not mind watching again and again.

10. Hoodwinked (2006): Let me make it clear. The animation on this movie... okay, so it isn't Pixar or Dreamworks levels of good, but it is still quite an enjoyable romp from beginning to end. All the characters are written quite well for what they were, and how the stories mesh up together does have its charm. A good take on the Red Riding Hood story that I would love to watch again and again. Hoodwinked Too: Hood Vs Evil... eh, it was fine, I guess. I wanted to like it, I really did, but the cons pretty much outweighed the pros on this one. Still, the first Hoodwinked is really good, and I recommend you check out this movie if you haven't already.

9. Snoopy Come Home (1972): Man, this movie can really tug at your heartstrings at times. Let me explain why this over the other Peanuts movies... well, it's one of the first motion pictures to have Snoopy in a more prominent role (I mean, we've seen him in the specials doing his usual things, but nothing too deep)... and there is some interesting lore behind Snoopy and what his life was like before he came to live with Charlie Brown... and then there are the troubles Snoopy has to go through while going on his journey to meet up with the girl named Lila, who is at the hospital... yeah, some of these ideas were based off some of the old comic strip stories of the time, but man, did they really work in a big way. Even the music... yeah, Richard and Robert Sherman did the music for this, and may I say, they really hit it out of the park! Yeah, it's no Vince Guaraldi, but it's the Sherman Brothers guys! I love their music! But yeah, I recommend looking at Snoopy Come Home, it's a great little flick that can tug at your heartstrings.

8. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): From heartwarming to just downright comedic, the Monty Python gang come together to make a serious movie about King Arthur and his journey to find the Knights of the Round Table and the Holy Grail... and there are a lot of comedic moments every step of the way. I like how in the first minute, the actors point out that instead of real horses, they're using two empty halves of a coconut and banging them together... making it aware that there wasn't exactly much of a budget to do this movie, but they really make it work in more ways than one... I could go on all day about the various misadventures, but I think this is an experience you need to watch to believe.

7. Madagascar Trilogy (2005, 2008, 2012): I'm putting all three movies together, mainly because they do sitch sort of a story together, with four animals, a lion, zebra, giraffe and hippo going out of the zoo and somehow ending up far away from home due to a misunderstanding. And the journey they have to go through to get back is hilarious in every step of the way, from the four getting on Madagascar, to the four getting on a plane and crash-landing in Africa, to them joining a circus troupe to get back to New York... I will always enjoy the comedy of Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria... and of course, the penguins, you cannot forget the penguins! Seriously, go check this trilogy out, it's one hit after another.

6. Ratatouille (2007): Probably my only Pixar film in this list, and for good reasons. Why is that, you ask? Simple. Like many others, it is a rather straightforward story, with a rat wanting to try his hand in the kitchen, and a garbage boy trying his best to fit in at a failing restaurant, only for the two to work together to make it a success. It's a basic story, but what makes it work is how they evolve and how the ending ties it all together. I won't give much away, but there is one monologue that I'm sure a lot of people need to listen to, as it tells a great message. But yeah, Ratatouille is a definite watch.

5. The Sound of Music (1965): I freaking love musicals, who doesn't? I think I watched a lot of musical movies growing up, from Sound of Music, Into the Woods, West Side Story... but of all the musical movies that really got to me, I think Sound of Music was the one that shouted out to me the most, mostly because of the characters and the wonderful music. I even sing along to My Favorite Things from time to time. If you haven't seen this musical yet, I recommend checking it out!

4. The Three Caballeros (1945): This is sort of more of a childhood movie, and yes, I'm aware it's one of the package films, but this is a package film that I really enjoyed. As a fan of Donald Duck, I always had this movie close to my heart, but yeah, while the movie doesn't really feature much in story (in fact, it's mostly just 'hey, check out these wonderful places and dances in this country'), it still brings a smile to my face, and taught me a lot about Latin America culture from the 1940s. I even end up quoting the movie from time to time, but it's always present in my mind. Check it out at least once if you haven't already.)

3. Fantasia (1940): While The Three Caballeros may be a childhood movie for me, Fantasia has become one of my more recent favorites growing up. I mean, yeah, I did enjoy the movie sometimes (only enjoying the Sorcerer's Apprentice, the one with the dinosaurs, and the hippo, elephant and gator dances), but growing up, I've rewatched the movie and realized... yes, this is a very beautiful masterpiece by Walt Disney, his magnum opus! All in all, Fantasia is just a wonderful musical movie from beginning to end, with amazing art, amazing stories... it's all just amazing.)

2. Charlotte's Web (1973): Okay, I will admit that while I do enjoy the book a bit, and I know E.B. White didn't like this adaptation of the movie, I grew up with this one as a kid, and gosh darn it, I really enjoyed this movie, the fun songs by the Sherman Brothers, the stories, the characters... it really was more heartfelt than anything. I've talked a bit about Charlotte's Web in past years, so I won't go over it if you already know about it, but... in the spirit of things, the Hanna-Barbera version of Charlotte's Web is a fun time, and a sweet little movie. Check it out.)

1. Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993): I'm sure everybody saw this coming. Yeah, I've talked about how great of a movie Homeward Bound is, so I won't go over that again, but just so you know, it is a wonderful movie. Of course, I'm still in search of the elusive uncut version that REALLY needs a proper DVD or Blu-Ray release, but I can take what I can get. It's heartwarming, and tearjerking at the same time. Surely, a wonderful, heartfelt film that I'll never get tired of.

And that's my top 12 movies. This meme was made by , and if you want to try the meme for yourself, here's the link: www.deviantart.com/cindyter/ar…
