The upcoming horror animated film, Fear(s) of the Dark looks pretty sleek. I think it might at least go on the second or the third position on my list.
Otherwise:
5 ) Disney’s Mulan
4 ) Detective Conan: The Time Bombed Skyscraper
3 ) Pokémon: The First Movie
2 ) The Incredibles
1 ) The Lion King
I’ve really got to see more Miyazaki (or Studio Ghibli) films… I only ever saw Spirited Away and it was interesting but I don’t feel I really got into it… aside from the animation I can’t really pick anything I was very entertained or moved by. Maybe I’ve got to watch it again now I’m more mature.
Honorable mentions: South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
Hey Arnold! The Movie
Titan A.E.
Watership Down-Supurb story
Fantasia-decades ahead of its time #8 Fantasia 2000-excellent redeux
Cars-visually stunning with a decent story
The Iron Giant-kids movie for adults
The Incredibles-total excitment
Chicken Run-wonderful reduex of “The Great Escape”
The Rescuers-last Disney animated movie by Walt’s men and my first movie
Who Framed Roger Rabbit-wonderful period piece with a social commentary we all can agree on, and Jessica Rabbit. Bugs and Mickey share a scene.
les Tripletts de Belleville-makes you turn your brain up to 11 with a wonderful score, unforgettable music, great story, wonderful characters, and my love cycling gets it just due. Armstrong, Indurain, Lemond, Hinault, Merkx, Coppi, Anquitel, Bobon, and Polidor are all in it.
Not to dis anyone, I can’t get into Japanese anime.
Speed Racer feels like a cartoon.
Grave of the Fireflies! I completely agree, definitely one of the saddest films, animation or live-action, I’ve ever seen.
Plague Dogs is pretty depressing too though. Anyone who enjoyed Watership Down should check that one out if they haven’t already, it’s written by the same person, Richard Adams.
