2020-09-1820 minThe Otium PodiumMovies: Top 5 Animated FilmsIn this week's episode, we each discuss our individual top 5 favorite animated films! The stipulations are simple: If someone says a movie from your list, you have to swap it out with a backup movie (movies that would be considered part of your "top 10"). Some live-action movies are allowed, as long as the animated characters are prominent and not just part of a single scene (Mary Poppins would not be allowed by these rules, but Who Framed Roger Rabbit would be). The movie had to be in theaters and not television only*
