    Ray Harryhausen.

    Think of the era he worked. It was all stop motion. The video is a tribute to his work.

    Milt Kahl is generally recognized by animators as the best. He was the Disney animator who did Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmations and and the evil tiger in Jungle Book, among many others. Also great at Disney: Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston. Chuck Jones at Warner Bros. has a special place as a director/creator. Today's top animators: Glen Keane, Eric Goldberg, Andreas Deja, all currently at Disney.

    1) I found a list of famous animators here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animators

    Actually, it is not really fair to build a list of best animators of all times. Because some animators of the past, which were very good for their time, cannot compete with the modern animators, who can use a lot of powerful tools, techniques and a whole industry.

    Walt Disney was a famous animator back in the 1930's. Today, "The Walt Disney Company" is a gigantic corporation. But they still are doing animation.


    2) Top Rated "Animation" Titles:
    "Rank Rating Title Votes
    1. 8.4 Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001) 63,277

    It'd have to be Walt Disney. He was a pioneer.
