Before the big Oscar countdown of the night gets underway, the UK’s Channel Four will, in the latest of their 100 Greatest… series, reveal the voting of the British public and their favorite animated stars and films from over the last Century. Filmmakers and celebrity fans all offer up their own picks and their comments in the four-hour marathon, hosted by comedian (and “Mr 100 Greatest…“) Jimmy Carr, which proves that, as usual with such things, recent memories outweigh the true classics. And us? Well, check back through the evening to see who made – and who didn’t make – the list!
