Spirited Away!
hands down, Spirited Away. or anything Miyazaki really.
As lame as I feel saying it: Aladin
Waking Life: without a doubt my favorite animated film of all time.
I AGREE!! BEST ANIMATED FILM EVER!!
(well technically it is rotoscoping)
Miyazaki stuff, Spirited Away etc.!
The Lion King.
Tekkonkinkreet !!!
I don’t know if it count but I love “VINCENT” a short film by Tim Burton with the voice of Vincent Price
The Phantom Tollbooth
Waltz with Bashir.
The Iron Giant
Akiraaa
One of my all time favorites… Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack.
Wall-E!
I find it absolutely amazing how much emotional was conveyed with dialogue in that movie.
Bambi!
I was trying to think of somebody else than miyazaki but Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is a masterpiece
Pochahontas. Paint with all the colors of the wind
Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis”
possibly Waltz With Bashir
I love Tekkonkinkreet by Michael Arias and studio 4c. I really like it’s artwork and the methaphors that contains.
Hedgehog in the Fog !!!!!!!! de Yuri Norstein! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRsXU4Q6a0Q&feature=related
Grave of the Fireflies. More powerful than most live action films I’ve seen.
For me: The Incredibles.
The Lion King!!!! Who doesn’t love Timon and Pumba?
Up!
the best
My fav one is Yellow submarine. Music and animation together like a perfect mixture.
Paprika by Satoshi Kon.
It’s a tie between Akira and Triplets of Belleville.
Hedgehog in the fog !! de Yuri Norstein!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRsXU4Q6a0Q&feature=related
Paprika.
It’s insanest.
Fantasia
hey, some douche reported this link on facebook and i couldn’t be redirected because of it. :/
anyways, my favorite animated movie of all time would probably be..
the cat returns
The disney version of Robin Hood.
Ghost In The Shell.
Mulan. that movie, though as historically inaccurate as it is, has taught me much. Nothing historical (as stated previously, I know much of it is wrong), but this movie taught me that I don’t NEED to keep to society’s beliefs and do what I think is right. Also, Eddie Murphy. COME ON!
Who framed Roger Rabbit?
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
Hayao Miyazaki
I love The Iron Giant. However, I recently saw Fantastic Planet and it was pretty amazing.
SHREK has to be my #1
Walle of course!
Peter Pan. I love classic 2D Disney animation
oh i forgot to uncheck notify me.. awesome.
i forgot to say that i met gary baseman at a wellstone campaign track! he definitely was not appreciated enough, geez!
The Iron Giant is one of my favorites. However, I recently saw a movie called Fantastic Planet that was, well, pretty fantastic.
Spirited away though its tight competition with Pocahontas.
Absolutely: Alice in Wonderland.
Never gets old, always beautiful.
I was raised on Miyazaki’s work!
“Spirited Away” just blew my nine year old mind away, and it still does every time I watch it.
Hands down, my favourite animated movie is The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
props to the guy that said “vincent”, I suppose I just adore Vincent Price’s work too much.
(p.s. I won a wallet contest last year so I totally understand if I don’t get chosen)
Grave of the Fireflies
Isao Takahata
Princess Mononoke! I heart the MIYAZAKI love here!
Who framed Roger Rabbit
thumbs up!
Pinocchio (1940): Without a doubt!
Toy story
Nobody said Princess Mononoke?
Feet of Song – Erica Russell
I do love Disney animations, but How To Train Your Dragon is all I can think about right now. Though I’ve been hearing a lot about Spirited Away. I really want to watch that!
Monsters inc. For reals. It always rains on my face when the kid says “kitty”. Emotional.
Les triplettes de Belleville
I would have to say Tekkon Kinkreet! (Steel reinforced concrete) this animated film was directed by Micheal Arias! The original manga is drawn by Taiyo Matsumoto!!
Akira
Dude..
Brave Little Toaster.
That goodness still makes me sob atom bombs.
Wait no.
Land Before Time.
Up to now, I still go around chasing for tree stars.
My fav: Fantastic Planet (planete sauvage)
Fantastic Planet, best animation ever. The soundtrack is awesome!
For me it’s a tie between Les Triplettes de Belleville and Fantastic Mr.Fox. Very different from each other but both totally amazing in there own way!
fritz the cat
Wall-E
for me it is definately ‘Vampire Hunter D’. Fantastic conception and brilliant depiction of non ‘I shimmer in the light’ and ‘I drink blood out of a bottle’ vampires.
Iron Giant.
All the way man, all the way.
Nausicaa of the valley wind
This too <3
The Land Before Time!!! …I haven’t seen all the sequels but the first one is good enough for me
For me, It’s a tie between Up and Wall-E. Disney/Pixar just becomes more and more amazing year after year.
My Neighbour Totoro
Can’t go wrong with Fern Gully
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs…. loved it !
Cars
The wallets are really lovely btw.
Who framed Roger Rabbit!!
‘im not bad, im just drawn that way!’
Can’t go wrong with Fern Gully;
but since its Gary Baseman why not Teacher’s Pet?!
Alice in Wonderland..no matter how old you get or how you’re feeling it always wonderful ^.^ I <3 Alice's innocents
Heavy Metal!
Heavy Metal, for sure!
The Triplets of Belville by Sylvain Chomet is super awesome.
Akira !!! (spirited away is a close second)
Fantastic Mr. Fox! Wes Anderson’s movies always get me with their soundtracks. Loved to see those red haired foxes running to the Heroes and Villains song!
The Lion King without a doubt
The Lion King
Fantastic Mr. Fox! Done the old fashion-stop-motion way
Rarg: “Animated film about the land of Rarg which was so perfect that the sun never rose until it was absolutely sure that everyone was awake. Everybody in Rarg was happy until one day they discovered that they were just a dream.”
Renaissance-Paris 2054 by Christian Volckman
I am a huge fan of this beautiful wall-painting animation: http://vimeo.com/13085676
The Lion King!
Everybody loves HAKUNA MATATA!
My neighbour Totoro!
or
The Adventures of Prince Achmed
Waltz With Bashir!
I’m a huge fan of this beautiful wall-painting animation:
http://vimeo.com/13085676
I’d have to say Fantastic Planet (Le Planete Sauvage). It’s a French flick from the 70′s. Not only is the movie wicked strange, the soundtrack is Gold!
The Triplets of Belleville
Russian/Soviet cartoon called something like “Well, you just wait” (Ну погоди) and is about a crazy wolf and a hare. And yes, the wolf just tries to catch and probably eat the little hare. Love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBfCgY35yWg
When the wind blows is an amazing mixture of animation and stop motion, which has an amazing mix of sly comedy and complete bleakness following a nuclear attack. Plus Bowie is on the soundtrack how more awesome could it be?
Gandahar by René Laloux! Masterpiece!!!!
Howl’s Moving Castle!
Aladdin forever!
Spirited Away – if I were a movie, that would be it.
pocahontas (:
CHYEAH
Appleseed or Akira definitely!
akira!
Up!
Only Yesterday.
A little bit of an odd choice some might say, but I love that it’s so oridinary and seems like it doesn’t even need to be animated – but that’s what makes it so gorgeous
Alice in Wonderland, Walt Disney Productions.
Mulan!!! classic Disney how can you not love it, of course the sequel was pretty crappy, but the first one was amazing. For a brief period of my childhood I wanted to pursue a career a Chinese warrior, i didn’t really consider the fact that I wasn’t Chinese, didn’t live in china (and probably never will) and had no athletic ability to speak of, but thats the magic of Disney, they fill children with unrealistic hope, I was so disappointed when I realized i’d never fall in love with an sexy army commander
“Les triplettes de Belleville” by Sylvain Chomet.
The most beautiful animated film i’ve ever seen.
Waking life by Richard Linklater.
Baby Snakes – Frank Zappa/ Bruce Bickford
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13dxu2UCmdY
I love “Fantastic Mr.Fox” from Wes Anderson!!! Is amazing!
Watership Down by Martin Rosen
…”Beavis and Butthead Do America”…
…(…with an Honorable Mention to Multimedia Artist Beeple. His new video for Flying Lotus, is sick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPLNK3mn7zE
First half of Wall-E FTW !
Grave of the fireflies. (Hotaru no haka)
I was deeply moved by this film.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=604119588026816292#
krtecek
princess mononoke!!
Lion King!
Persepolis was great; it was about the Islamic revolution in Iran and so much more.
Cat Soup!
The Wall, Pink Floyd
Destino by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney.
Stunning animation!
James and the Giant Peach!
I though Please Say Something by David O’Reilly pretty much reinvented the form.
Spirited Away!
Tekkonkinkreet is gorgeouss. I’m also a great fan of Heavy Metal!
Mad Monster Party (1967)
Howl’s Moving Castle is the best!
I have to say Paprika, this movie is a must see.
I rise my hand for Princess Mononoke!
Toy Story. It begins here.
I can’t believe nobody’s said the Aristocats! Mostly singing, mostly dancing, AND a mostly cat cast!
Toy Story is my favorite!
It’s not really something I watched as a kid but “The Triplets of Belleville” is awwwwwesome!
Princess Mononoke!
The Iron Giant!
Tonari no Totoro
Toy story 1… the original tale of toys finding their way in this mixed up world of ours… also there are green one eyed aliens…. cant go wrong
anything by Jan Svankmajer
the lion king!
Snow White
The Triplets of Belleville
I love so many animation movies, but The Fantastic Mr. Fox is my favorite!
It’s a tie between ‘Waltz with Bashir’ and ‘Howl’s Moving Castle’
Both are just to good to choose.
The Iron Giant
Hard to choose… but i’m gonna pick Waking Life. (runners up: Tekkon Tinkreet and Howl’s Moving Castle)
Wow! There are so many great ones that it’s hard to choose…”Spirited Away” maybe. Miyazaki is one of the best! I’ve seen a lot of great shorts & independent films, but I can’t remember their names, right now, so of the major film makers, anything by Miyazaki gets my vote.
Wallace and Gromit- A grand day out
My childhood favorite was The Princess and the Goblins, but if I had to choose an all time favorite, I would choose 101 Dalmatians.
ROCK-A-DOODLE.
it’s been forever since i’ve seen it, but it always stuck in my mind.
poor poor chanticleer.
Rescuers Down Under – had that on repeat for yeaaaars as a kid. I loved Wilbur (John Candy), still makes me laugh
totoro
<3 the brave little toaster <3
How about some experimental animation! The film _grau, by Robert Seidel, is one of the most interesting animations I’ve ever seen – remarkably haunting, it really sticks with you after you’ve seen it. As far as I know, no one can figure out how he created this masterpiece, although he’s stated that he somehow manipulates his drawings in 3d. His animated paint technique is just amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLkpEjxiSBo
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Right now, The Princess and the Frog. It changes a lot.
Disney’s Robin Hood
A Town Called Panic
HI larious!
I AM BASEMAN
Wizards!!!!
Wizards!
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind !! i’ve always thought it was truly brilliant
The Triplets of Belleville [Les Triplettes de Belleville]
The Triplets of Belleville : )
I do enjoy the classic He Man and the masters of the Universe, even though it isn’t a film I thought it deserved a vote for fun animation.
Oh Yeah, does anyone remember the 80′s transformers animated movie with Unichron.
Amazzzzzzzzzzzing, with a radical rock & roll soundtrack to match.
The Triplets of Belleville
The Animatrix
Fantastic Planet takes the cake for me, it’s too beautiful and strange not to.
oh man, princess mononoke for suuuuuure!
the fox and the hound
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Waking Life!
Hedgehog in the fog!
The Little Mermaid
Nausicaa of the valley of the wind.
Ahhh, Peter Pan! Hands down! Everything about that story is how I wish life would be. If I ever have spawn, I will emulate Mrs. Darling.
I have to say Walt Disney’s The Rescuers. I watched it over and over when I was a kid.
A Scanner Darkly
The Triplets of Bellville
The brave little toaster
Fantastic planet!!
The Incredibles!!! great artwork
Toy Story!
belle et sébastien
gay purr-ee is my favorite animated film. i used to watch it every weekend as a kid… and after that, some classic muppet show from the 70s!
Waking Life, hands down.
The Incredibles
Panique au village!
French cowboys, horses and aliens.. it’s perfect.
The Triplets of Bellville
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast…duh…
The Little Mermaid… when I was younger knew all the words… still might in fact. HA!
The Emperor’s New Groove for it’s writing and hilarity–but Coraline for it’s story and art direction.
La Planète Sauvage is the best animated movie ever
I looooove Howl’s Moving Castle…and Beauty & the Beast!
Dumbo, I could watch this movie over and over again.
Akira or Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke. Actually, it is Akira…the first animated film that blew my mind.
I have to choose just one animated film to be my favorite? Wow. That’s hard. I guess I’d have to choose My Neighbor Totoro. Who doesn’t want to curl up on that big-smiled fuzzy belly and take a nap? I know I do …
The Rescuers Down Under FTW!~!!!!
Totoro! CATBUSSSSSS!
ALICE – the 1988 version directed by Jan Švankmajer
amazing surrealism !!
it could also be DESTINO, a collaboration between salvador dalí and disney
When I was young I loved Pete’s dragon.
I wish I was super-cool and could mention some awesome, animated, indie-film.
But; Toy Story is my favourite animated film. Why? No film hits the nail so spot on when it comes to what I day-dreamed of as a boy.
Who framed Roger Rabbit
Wallace and Gromit, A Close Shave
Nightmare Before Christmas (If we push the boundaries of this category)
Persepolis (if we push the boundaries of the meaning favorite)
zeee pagemaster. the pagemasterrrrrrrrrr
Destino!
The collaboration between Walt Disney & Dali.
The Lion King.
FRITZ THE CAT. It’s pretty groovy stuff. :3
THE BEATLES YELLOW SUBAMRINE animated film
Belleville rendezvous or Totoro
Princesa Mononoke, Hayao Miyazaki!
My favortite movie would DEFINITELY have to be Kiki’s Delivery Service. It was the first Hayao Miyazaki film I ever saw and from that moment on I knew I was in love with his work.
My favorite film is ‘Mind Game’ by Masaaki Yuasa, from studio 4ºC. If I could add another one, I would say Disney’s
“Sword In the Stone”.
The Iron Giant!
Howl’s Moving Castle! ♥
OK, the question is, how else can I get one of those amazing wallets? Cus scrolling down the comments I see they pretty much covered all my favorites.
Howl’s Moving Castle!
Mulan! “We’ll make a man out of you….”
“muto” a wall painted animation by blu
So gotta be Disney’s Robin Hood! A classic tale with animals; can it be beat? I think NOT.
And I guess the Little Mermaid has to be on here too, because I remember seeing it in the theater when it came out!! sorta scary…
Kaichou wa Maid-sama.. If it counts as an animated film.
The Secret of NIMH
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Princess Mononoke, Up and Yellow Submarine (1968)!
up always cracks me up! hahaha
I have loved the Mazinger Z movie for about 25 years. Can´t seem to find it though, so I stick to watching seasons 1 and 2 of the series. Aphrodite A shooting her boobs as rockets is still amazing after all these years.
AKIRASAMA!
I LOVE and am STILL scared by Fantasia!
Marathon dancin’ doop dee doop!! The Triplets of Belville by Sylvain Chomet! that´s my number one! but I also love Princess Mononoke by Miyazaky an Up, by Pixar.
Animal Farm
the point
Persepolis.
Favorite Animated film has got to be Once Upon A Forest!!!
I named my dog after one of the characters when I was 5:)
MULAN!!
Once Upon A Forest!! Named my dog after one of the characters!
Beauty and the Beast! The only movie that makes eating porridge look so good.
tim burton’s “vincent”.
“The Hobbit” (1977) animated TV special!
My Neighbor Totoro! Favorite animated movie as a kid…and now <3
I visited the Ghibli Museum in Japan and was blown away!
Steamboy
Up!
Great story, music, and characters!
anything wallace and gromit or disney’s pinnocchio!
Casper/Yellow Submarine!
Ratatouille.
The Little Mermaid. Mostly because my name is Ariel
mind game
This is hard because I love too many animated films! Probably Howl’s Moving Castle.
La Planete Sauvage (1973), de René Laloux
Pinnochio gets my vote
Feature film: Fantasia for its creative nature.
Short film: Bambi meets Godzilla for quick hit of humor.
Anything by Yuri Norstein. “Hedgehog in the Fog” is my favorite followed by “Seasons”. He animated using shelves of glass, setting up layers of the scene on each and shooting from above.
Hedgehog in the Fog:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRsXU4Q6a0Q
Seasons:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnvuw29Tc28
you can’t forget DUMBO! nothing can overcome this trippy part! is just the best!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=944cPciN-kw&feature=related
Mad monster party
The Simpsons Movie, there, I said it..someone had to !!
Secret of Nimh !!!
It’s all about the Triplets of Belleville! The character designs in that film are incredible, and the music and movement is so fantastic!
I might say it should be: Fantasia. By Disney.
BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING, stop motion counts??
Just as everyone else
Spirited Away from Miyazaki.
No brainer!
SECRET OF NIMH
Peter’s Dragon!!
Tokyo Godfathers!
Hands down Ratatouille.
The storyline was great, and you really can’t go wrong with Pixar!
My Neighbor Totoro.
blood tea and red string, stop-motion counts???
Persepolis. Incredible, hands down the best animated film I’ve ever seen.
little nemo!……… the animation still scares the flip out of me.
Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) by Miyazaki
Oh man!!! I’m pretty damn sure those wallets would go beautifully with my collection of Poketo Apparel (their clothing is like my crack!).
But anyways, in terms of answering the question it really is a no contest answer for me. Before I say what it is though, it should be made clear that my collection/admiration for animated film is both extensive and deep. However, that being said, my holy grail so-to-speak of animated film would have to be the Fantasia. This isn’t just a movie to me. This made up the better part of my early childhood, in which, with a somewhat cult-like fascination I’d watch this movie (or at the very least listen) everyday. Honestly, if you asked me why then, I couldn’t have told you, but now it’s just so clear to me how much it was shaping the rest of my art/music oriented life. I still can’t help but instantly play some sort of animation in my head whenever I listen to music (and didn’t even realize the source of this until much more recently).
I could go on forever about what I feel when watching, but basically, Fantasia is pretty much, like, my fav.
P.S. I’d like to point out my second runner up would have to be Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejected Cartoons.
My neighbor Totoro!!! ^_^
was blown away (and mindf#d) by Akira and that was a long time ago.
Dumbo!!!
:) still makes me cry to this day!
Bambi vs. Godzilla
Peter And The Wolf.
The Old Man and the Sea by Aleksandr Petrov, stunning paint on glass animation.
The Brave Little Toaster, hands down!
Brave Little Toaster!
Yip, Spirited Away from Miyazaki.No Doubt
The Lion King
I love all of the “Wallace and Gromit” movies, they are outstandingly brilliant. Absolutely.
Plus, my dad loves Gary Baseman (has a tat!) and his birthday is this week—can you say perfect present..??!!
alice in wonderland, the stop motion one
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (but NOT the disney version)
mmm, howl’s moving castle?
ratatouille.
The Secret Of Kells
I like pinocchio.
Cowboy Bebop movie #2 simply for the flawless flow of content from the series, movie #1, and onto the movie #2. The content of the series was mind blowing for the time of completion as well as the execution of the story and characters. One must not note the classics such as lion king. When one thinks about 29 frames per second as well as having beautiful scenes 29 times a second is mind blowing. The animators at Disney are true masters. But… Its the content that gets me to choose Movie #2
Apologies first off, I made a mistake while posting. Unintentionally I stated a negation of my intentional purpose. I meant to state “one must not forget to note the classics”.
Rejected from Don Hertzfeldt !
My favorite is Cinderella!
Disney’s 101 Dalmations. it’s by far the most well-designed and aesthetically pleasing animated film of all time. close seconds are Sylvain Chomet’s Triplets of Belleville, Spirited Away, and then the movie that revived mainstream stop-motion, The Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Satoshi Kon’s Paprika! I’m so glad to see other people listing it as well. Since I’m all about dreams, it rocked my world when I discovered it this year.
Fehérlófia by Marcell Jankovics
Watch it on YouTube to assess its superiority:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-UIdwAEljY
Fooly Cooly
Definately Bednobs and Broomsticks, for some reason it’s always stayed in my head. But only half animated I guess, so would I get half a wallet?
Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Turtles in a half shell, TURTLE POWER!
Animal Farm (1954)
When the old horse is taken away, the screaming donkey makes me cry.
Akira is far the best classic animated film!
Persepolis, Hands down.
Mind Game, or Paprika, or Whisper of the Heart.
An American Tail !!!!!!!
Fantastic Mr. Fox ….: )
It’s haunting me! I saw this Alice in wonderland as a kid, with very strange finnish dubs. They were awfully timed. Still don’t know whose is it..
Land before time or all dogs go to heaven
woo awesome!
my ffavorite movie is an argentinian film called “picado fino” (“fine powder”)
Heavy Metal (1981) is one of a kind: science fiction, fantasy, sex and a great deal of graphic violence!!!!!!
quite possibly the great mouse detective
Probably… Scary Movie 1 (2000)
Mine has to be Dumbo. Fantastic film all around and I nostalgia every time it comes up.
The Danish Poet. Simple and elegant with a twist of sweet humor. love it!
Spirited away.
Peter and The Wolf. The music made it so epic and that wolf terrified me for the longest.
Beauty and the Beast!
The Lion King
The Salad Fingers series by David Firth.
-b
waking life is fabulous. i want to watch this tim burton/vincent price combo, though!
Mary Poppins!
La Maison En Petits Cubes!
To me, it is by far the anime serie Cowboy Bebop by Shinichirō Watanabe.
