This movie has a weighted rating of 8.4 as of Jan 5 2007, so why isn't it in the IMDB top 100 movies? It should be in the top ten movies with this rating but yet again, the IMDB adjudicators are keeping a movie from appearing in the top 250 movies because of their criteria of only using votes from "regular contributors"
An absolute disgrace.

This film, being only 10 minutes long, probably counts as a "short" which that FAQ specifically states do not make it to the top 250.
A poor excuse.
When is a movie not a movie?
When it's not made by Hollywood?
This is a genuine masterpiece and should be rated as such.
This film does NOT belong in a list of the best feature length films because it's not feature length. It IS a masterpiece, it is NOT a feature-length film. Claiming that it should be on the top 250 is like the time I asked my friend his favorite seafood and he said "Beef."
shareNowhere it says that the top 250 movies must be feature-length movies.
This movie is better than many of so-called best feature-length movies so it should be in top 250.

It is animation, it is 10 minutes long, it was shown in movie theaters, it is work of art, it has very high rating on IMDB. People who make rules for best movies to be certain style are just protecting hollywood studios from competitions from superior foreign movies.
So who cares?
Mickey Mouse? Disney sucks
what you talking about?
"Please be aware that list only includes theatrical features: shorts, TV movies, miniseries and documentaries are not included in the Top 250 chart."
"Feature" as in "Feature-length" as in much longer than 10 minutes.
There are a number of non-Hollywood film on the top 250. It's only a natural that on an English language web page that Hollywood films will dominate the top 250, simply because Hollywood is the largest producer of popular English language film, not because the site is biased in Hollywood's favor.
One does not have to hate Disney to love non-Disney animation. I for example love this film and all of the Disney classics that I grew up with. If the vote was really rigged in Disney's favor, shorts WOULD be allowed as much of Walt's best work was short film. Steamboat Willy for example, would probably be in the top 10.

Where do i say votes are "rigged" for disneys favour?
Huh?
and what is this?
"Feature" as in "Feature-length" as in much longer than 10 minutes.
You never directly stated that voting was rigged, but you defiantly implied that the rules contained biases that worked in favor of Hollywood films. As you say the film is high rated so it's not the voters that create the supposed bias you keep complaining about, so it can logically be deducted that you're criticizing the rule makers.
Also, I couldn't find an on-site reference but I've heard multiple times for reasons of statistical significance they only accept films that have a certain number of votes on them. Wikipedia says that number is 1300. Now, this film has 440 votes (total, including things that aren't "regular"...I will admit that it is irksome that they don't explain what "regular" voters are), so it wouldn't count even if shorts were allowed.

documentaries are not included in the top 250? How incredibly stupid. But I can see the ulterior use of that, cultural censorship. Why stamp out documentaries? Because they contain at least a minimum degree of truth.
shareIt is rated as a masterpiece - just not one that's in the top 250!
IMDB's Top 250 isn't important, anyway.
It's made from bits of real panther, so you know it's good...
haha. when I read your message, it seems that you feel this animation being misteated. L. O. and L. Damn, with all those replies blaming holywood and western world... wtf? if you don't understand IMDb system, so don't shout like a rebel. pfff.. ok, listen now:
1. it does not have a certain amount of votes needed to get on top250
2. it is not considered an apropriate format to get to the top250. What sort of films can't get on the top250, you will ask?
Well:
1. Short films;
2. TV films and mini series;
3. TV shows;
4. am.. there is probably more formats, but I just can't think of them at the moment.
.
So, the moral is... STFU and stop crying.
Hey guys if you looked at this website for more than ten minutes you'd notice there are charts for the top 100 documentaries, short films, animations etc.
