Favorite Animated Film of Each Year of the 1970s!


You all wanted it, you got it! You all did want this right? Hello out there...okay. It's another decades topic for animation and this time it's the 70s. Not the best decade admittedly, but certainly one of the most interesting. As always, only post films you genuinely like, not just any film you've seen. If you have to leave some years blank, that's fine, it's part of why I do this. As more people post in these I hope more people will look at other people's list and expand their animation horizons! Now my list isn't fantastic yet, but I'm working on it!

1970- Cleopatra
1971- Daisy Town
1972- Snoopy Come Home
1973- Robin Hood
1974- Jack and the Beanstalk
1975- The Little Mermaid (anime version obviously!)
1976- Allegro non Troppo
1977- The Rescuers
1978- Watership Down
1979- Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro

That's a good start and there's certainly room for improvement. For now, let's just get this topic going!

Edit: The first poster has asked about animated shorts, no shorts please. All films listed must be full length animated features, which is at least 40 minutes in length and at least 75% animated.

These topics were my babies back in the day. I didn't know this website existed until recently, but better late than never. Unfortunately, I can't edit my original posts, but I can bump these topics for additional activity and to update my lists.

Updates:
1971- Animal Treasure Island
1973- Charlotte's Web
