Here is a list of the 50 greatest cartoons ever made, as compiled in 1994 by animation historian Jerry Beck and voted on by animation professionals. Even better than the list itself are all of the links to the actual catroons.
If you've never seen Bambi Meets Godzilla or Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarfs, here's your chance, along with plenty of other classics by Warner Bros. Disney, MGM and many more.
Of course, you'll see One Froggy Evening, a personal favorite as my profile photo indicates, and many other Chuck Jones cartoons. (What's Opera, Doc?, of course being #1 on the list)
Hours of online viewing fun, friends.
