Forums - General - Amazing animated films

Give a brief description of what you believe to be some truly ground breaking animated films.American, Japanese, European, it doesn't matter what their origin is as long as their good.

My example would definitely be Akira, hell I'd be here all night if I had to describe the significance of this film!

I would appreciate it if the amount of comedy films were kept to a minumum here, simply because that particular gerne is too subjective.

Princess Mononoke.

I don't feel like giving a brief description.

What do you mean by animated? Does rotoscoping count? If so, then Waking Life.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
