Oh how can you forget tom and jerry??

'Cause that's not a movie! The Tom and Jerry movie was horrid anyways.

With Pixar, Cars was quite poor. Graphically it was pretty fun, but the story and execution were lacklustre. Pixar's greatest work to date has to be The Incredibles. 90+ backgrounds compared to Finding Nemo's 25 and 100+ costume changes for the characters. Technically superb!

As recommended on my last list, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" is one of the best animated features of all time. The work needed to make the entire thing work is epic. Richard Williams of the aforementioned Thief and the Cobbler (and writer of Luis' 'favourite' book, The Animator's Survival Kit) was animation director for the project, and his professionalism shows.

Roger Rabbit is unfortunately also a case study for why animators shouldn't animate on ones - while it makes the entire thing smoother when working with chromakeyed actors or photocomp work, it gives a very juttery effect if not used to such a fine degree, and doubles your work time.

Still, featuring perfect performances from Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd, the film is excellent, and worth buying for the Toontown scenes alone. Here's a nice still, and a link to a youtube link from one of my favourite scenes, the Ink and Paint Club speakeasy (with a piano duel between Daffy Duck and Donald Duck)

Ink & Paint Club Scene

over the hedge is the most awesome for all ages!

I thought one of the best animations I've ever seen was Howl's Moving Castle
What a magical journey that one castle can take you on. It's a beautiful love story of a wizard who's lost his heart to a demon and a hat shop girl with a terrible curse. it's one of Miyazaki's best.

Never saw it, but the impression I got from reviews was that it was just another of those heartless, '3D animated animal' things which represent a guaranteed profit for studios.

Ratatouille was very good. Though I recommend adding Persepolis as well as Metropolis. And although I have yet to see it, Howl's Moving Castle looks worthy.

How come no one has said anything about this one: The Old Man end the Sea by Alexander Petrov 1999 it's awesome and made entirely out of oil paintings, the guy painted every frame directly beneath the camera, shot it, rinse and repeat, truly insipiring!!

This is an actual screenshot of the movie

P.S. it's on youtube: Link

Advent children,

who can resit final fantasy? it has a well made story line along with incredible life like graphics!
square soft is known for its great graphics just look at the whole final fantasy series not to mention kingdom hearts.

I sure hope this thread starts heading back towards traditional animation. this is boring talking about 3d and its realismzzzzzz

Alright Luis, Pinocchio

It was made in 1940 it's a disney classic along with snow white and Cinderella.
The plot is great for kids too, it has that whole "moral" thing going on netherless
It's a great movie with great animation to match.

Pinocchio is part of the reason i started smoking.

I agree with Luis, Pinochio is not that nessicary of a cartoon, it really has nothing essental to offer.

Wow! That film is truly inspiring. when I see that one guy is willing to put so much time and effort in one short film, I always get motivated to work harder on my animations.

While I'm on the subject of dumbo and drinking, I do recommend the pink elephant parade part of the movie, basically dumbo gets drunk and theres this trippy animated sequence with these disturbing looking elephants marching. The fbf animation is brilliant.... I've always wanted to do something like that. I could totally see shirtturtle doing something like that.

When I was young I was scared of such animations, there's something like that in an Winney the Poo episode that scared the shit ut of me. I'm still uncomfortable watching it.

The animation in Gay Purr-ee (Lawl if you must) looks surprisingly modern (in reference to the thick, black lines). I think it's a 1960s animation, showing how timeless-a medium we're dabbling in. Check out 7 minutes in for what I mean.

"Jaune Tom! Jaune Tom! A Moose! A Moose - I mean, a Mouse!"

Also, Babar is one of my favourite series of all time. I love that regal Elephant with all my heart. The parade sequence I linked you too is from the 1989 movie and is just fantastic. I like the clown who makes the baby cry.

I've been interested in Jacques Drouin since I've heard of Pinart animation. Remember those boards with the pins in them, that you would make imprints of your hand with? This guy makes animations using those boards, and it's simply interesting to see.

A Scanner Darkly

It's a film all about drug culture and abuse in a somewhat odd near-future. The whole movie is completely rotoscoped to a very high level, making it quite visually stunning - at times I couldn't tell whether it was being shot in real-life or if it was animation.

Trailer!

It's an odd film certainly, but it's a must-see purely because it's an animation not aimed at small children. Quite trippy.

Someone most likely already said this, but Don Hertzfeldt's work and the early Mike Judge stuff are both really great, and pretty much every film in Don's filmography is a "Must-see" animated movie.

toystory? how has no-one said that yet?

BEE MOVIE!!!
Nah not really... it sucks

If you're gonna post in the thread:

1. Include a brief description of the film.
2. Include a picture.
3. Do not just say Movie X is good. Include reasons as to why we ought to see it if we haven't already.

Thank you.

Kung fu panda, not only A must see animated movie, but a must see movie.. its one of the best movies i have ever seen, its non stop comedy (except there are some 5 mins scenes wich are serious). I think everyone here know what its about but..: A panda named Po (Jack Black) dreams about being the most awesome ninja (kung fuuy person) ever, and hanging out with the Furious Five: Monkey (Jacki Chan), Crane (that guy in arrested developement (Tobias) hes friggin hillarious), Tigress (angelina jolie), Viper (lucy liu), Mantis (Seth Rogan). (too make this thing brief) A turtle forsees a vision of the bad guy escaping and he has to pick the dragon warrior (one out of the furious five). Po shows up and he gets picked by "accident" or "destiny". so he starts training and shit.
