Add to my lists | Print this list

The American Film Institute’s official 50 nominees for the Top 10 Fantasy Films of All-Time (to be announced June 17, 2008)

"AFI defines “fantasy” as a genre where live-action characters inhabit

imagined settings and/or experience situations that transcend the rules of

the natural world. "

"By presenting dreamlike realms where fairies flourish, witches scheme

and pigs fly, fantasy demands that audiences believe in magic and hope

for wishes to come true."
