I say Bugs and Mickey are the best cartoon characters. No other matters. They were the first cartoon superstars and every other character is based off of them.

Read all of these comments, but c\'mon people let\'s use some common sense and stop including cartoons we have to squint to remember. The list should be: 1) That waskilly wabbitt...Bugs 2) The Disney Mouse...Mickey 3) Hamburger loving Homer Simpson 4) His pain in the ass son, Bart 5) Rocky and Bullwinkle Sorry Seth, none of your characters are in this league!

Recent Questions of the Week

Since we got word that 20 movies have been submitted to the Academy for Oscar consideration, everyone has been trying to figure out which five will make the nomination list. Which films do you think deserve to be on the ballots in February? The 20 films that have been submitted are • Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel • Astro Boy • Battle for Terra • Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs • Coraline • Disney's A Christmas Carol • The Dolphin – Story of a Dreamer • Fantastic Mr. Fox • Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs • Mary and Max • The Missing Lynx • Monsters vs. Aliens • 9 • Planet 51 • Ponyo • The Princess and the Frog • The Secret of Kells • Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure • A Town Called Panic • Up

Fox/Blue Sky’s Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs set worldwide box-office records by taking in over $878.5 million—and became the most popular animated feature of all time overseas. Why do you think the movie was so successful internationally? Do you think it deserves its mass popularity?

We understand that Robert Zemeckis hasn’t been giving any interviews for his upcoming A Christmas Carol movie. What is your take on this new take on the Dickens’ classic? Are you excited to see this performance-capture movie which relies on Jim Carrey’s theatrics or are you going to pass?

Have you sampled any of the new fall season's animated shows? Do you like any of the new toons or do you think the best work is still done by classic favorites such as The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park?

Do you think global TV and multi-media content markets such as MIPCOM, which takes places this week in France, are useful ways for animators to do business with buyers/producers/executives? What are your biggest gripes about these international confabs and how do you think they can be improved?

Random Questions of the Week

At the heart of Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo is the bond between a father and his son, an ironically rare subject for a family film. What other theme(s) do you think should be explored more in animation?

Which of the 11 eligible films do you think will get the three Oscar nominations? Were there any movies that should have been included in the list but weren't?

Sometimes your animation is only as good as your editing. How many of you use Final Cut Pro and what have you used it on lately?

Disney is reportedly developing a 2D-animated feature titled The Frog Princess. Do you think the animation unit can produce a traditional hit with the Pixar team in its corner?

Even the most hardcore of animation fans don’t rush out to see every toon feature that comes out. What films did you initially pass on but were pleasantly surprised by on video or TV?
