Top 10 '2D-Animated' Movies

Thanks for all the comments and response on my previous posts; as promised, here's a list of my top 10 2d animated movies, also from now on, i wont write a short synopsis review about each one of them, just simple 'good' and 'bad' like pro's and con's, to be initiated from this post following.

Some of you must be wondering why distinguish animation between 2d and 3d. I feel the need to explain this difference is very important, and in simple words 'watch Avatar in 2D and 3D' and you will be able to distinguish by yourself. If for some reason you "haven't can't won't" watch both the versions, here's an explanation. 2D animation is flat  (involves drawing on a flat surface like a sketch and than it is shown in frames i.e. flip-book animation) referred to as 'cartoons' (Simpsons, Tom&Jerry, Aladdin). 3D animation is modelling (constructing in a software) which has no viewing limitations from any angle, you can see all the sides of a cube (in 2d only one face can be seen at a time). The main element of 3D is 'adding depth with whole environment of lights, textures and animation' which makes the image photo-realistic (e.g. Transformers, Incredible Hulk). Enough of the explanation, so lets get on..

The Good : Song Lyrics, Terrence and Philip, Canada, Dialogues.
