The 50 Greatest Cartoons: As Selected by 1,000 Animation Professionals is a 1994 book by animation historian Jerry Beck, with a foreword written by Chuck Jones.
The book features the fifty greatest cartoons of all time; selected by a group of 1000 cartoon historians, animation professionals and film critics. The votes were culled from ballots sent to members of the Society for Animation Studies, the International Animated Film Association, one hundred animation studios, and film critics from more than one hundred periodicals.
The cartoons selected include work from Disney Cartoons, Warner Bros. Cartoons, Fleischer Studios, MGM Cartoons, United Productions of America, Walter Lantz, National Film Board of Canada, Winsor McCay, Otto Messmer, Sally Cruikshank, Marv Newland, Frederic Back and various independent animators. Each selection has a plot summary, production history, and a critical analysis that examines why they were selected. The book also features commentary from Leonard Maltin, John Canemaker, Joe Adamson, Steve Schneider, Charles Solomon, and Leslie Cabarga.
