Toon Zone's Top Ten: Cartoon Shorts

[Joe Tully]

Well, as most of you know, Toon Zone is putting together two "Top Ten" lists: The Top Ten Cartoon Shorts ever made, and the Top Ten Cartoon Series ever made. And we want input from you, the discerning fans of all things animated!

In the first part of the process, we asked the members of the Toon Zone Forums to discuss the shorts and series that they thought would be worthy of being on such a list. (To see the discussion, visit the Best Cartoon Shorts and the Best Cartoon Series threads.)

In this thread I have put together a master list of all the cartoon shorts that were proposed. This is not a formal list of nominees. We simply put it up to remind people of some of the possibilities out there.

In the next stage we ask you, the members of the Toon Zone community, to vote for five (5) (and only five) cartoon shorts; in other words, send us a list of your picks for the five best cartoon shorts of all time. Using this list (and our patented weighted-voting system, as seen in the Avatar Contests at the AniGen board) we will construct a list of the Top 10 vote-getters.

To vote for the Best Cartoon Series of all time, send an email to tzshorts@yahoo.com. Be sure to list them in your order of preference. Note that your choices are not restricted to the shorts listed in this thread. Any short, whether listed here or not, is eligible for inclusion on your ballot.

Voting is open now, and closes on the night of Thursday, January 31.

Also, please make sure to go to this page (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17564) to vote for the top 10 cartoon series.

Okay guys, we're reaching the end of the contest.

You have 48 hours to mail tzshorts@yahoo.com with your picks. I know that many of you out there haven't voted yet, including some of you who bothered to nominate quite a few shorts! I would appreciate it if everyone interested could please respond ASAP (it only takes a few minutes) since getting as many ballots as possible will give us results that are as accurate as possible.


This thread already has over 350 views so I expect everyone to be all prepared to vote by this time. Please vote now so you don't forget and miss the deadline!

Okay, I know that just about everyone interested has voted by now, but if you have a draft of your ballot sitting around *hint hint* you might want to send it in now. We have a little over an hour left for voting, then I'll unstick this thread and it'll disappear off of the face of the Earth.
