The 100 Greatest Cartoons
The '''100 Greatest Cartoons''' was a [[poll]] conducted by the [[United Kingdom|British]] television channel [[Channel 4]] in [[2004]]. 105 [[cartoon]]s were 'nominated' by Channel 4 and then ranked by public poll, with only the top 100 being shown. The ranked list was first broadcast on [[February 27]] [[2005]], from 100 to number 1, featuring the reminiscences of [[celebrity|celebrities]] and media [[pundit]]s interlaced with clips from the shows themselves.

However, similar to the [[100 Greatest Kids' TV shows]], there are discrepancies between the list of 'nominations' and the televised list.

'Nominated' cartoons that did not have an entry on the show were:

*[[An American Tail]]
*[[Antz]] (mentioned in the Bugs Life entry)
*[[Captain Kremmen]]
*[[Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within]]
*[[Heavy Metal]]
*[[The Jackson 5ive]]
*[[Mary, Mungo and Midge]]
*[[Monkey Dust]]
*[[The Polar Express]]
*[[ReBoot]]
*[[Shark Tale]]
*[[The Yellow Submarine]]

(there should be only 5 of these)

Cartoons featured on the show despite not being nominated were:

*Foghorn Leghorn
*Mr. Magoo
*Pepe le Pew
*Sylvester and Tweetie Pie
