Princess Mononoke was the film that made me fall head over heels for cinema in general. Artistry in storytelling, with one of my favorite antagonists in any medium.

The Iron Giant was one of the first movies I saw theatrically, and the final set-piece still activates my tear ducts to this day.

Son of the White Mare is one of the central touchstones of abstraction and consolidated story and character ethos in the history of the medium. Blew my mind when I finally caught up with it, as clearly it has influenced dozens of animators since, especially Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Primal).

Honorable mention #1- Fantasia 2000, specifically the Firebird Suite sequence, which remains the single greatest thing the mouse factory, and western animation as a whole, has produced in their entire output, you cannot change my mind.

HM#2- Interstella 5555, The official feature length Daft Punk AMV. It rules.

The Iron Giant is one of my favorites. It's one of those rare movies where people can understand the theme, even if they don't agree with it.

Yellow Submarine. A Beatles classic.

The Incredibles. It just touches on superhero and spy movies at the same time.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Just a really beautiful work of art.

These aren't my definitive top 3, just a few I really love :

  • Princess Mononoke - One of my favourite Ghibli movies. It's a gorgeous movie with brilliant storytelling and also a technical marvel for its time. The mix of CGI and 2D was phenomenal.

  • How to Train Your Dragon - Easily my favourite of the Dreamworks animation franchise, this entire trilogy is just beautiful and epic.

  • Wall-E - While I love almost all of Pixar's movies, there's really nothing that brings out my emotions quite as well as Wall E does. It's just beautiful film-making.

The Jungle Book (1967). Came out two years before I was born, loved it as a kid, still do.

Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003). If you’ve seen it, you will know why it is on this list.

An American Tail (1986). Brilliant.

Grave of the Fireflies - brilliant film that is worthy of historical preservation and will leave you devastated.

5 Centimeters Per Second - amazing film about growing older and the passing of time

Akira - it's just a brilliant mind bending movie, with visuals and storytelling unlike anything out there

Aladdin - My favorite Disney film with a stellar score and amazing cinematic-style animation

Beauty and the Beast- nominated for best picture and rightly so. Just an excellent piece of cinema.

Finding Nemo - to date still Pixar's greatest masterpiece. Hilarious, touching, and beautiful, all in one go.

Off the top of my head...

  1. The Incredibles - Just a perfect movie for me... Very comfy and just fun overall.
  2. Spirited Away - First animated movie to move me emotionally and inspirationally.
  3. Ratatouille - Another perfect movie for me... Pixar's magnum opus in my opinion!

Zootopia's really good but for animated movies, there's got to be some anime up top

Princess Mononoke or Akira for wildly different reasons

Personally, End of Evangelion is a total work of art, but takes some getting to

This thread is very telling of people’s age lmao.

For me it’d be:

Kung Fu Panda

Wall-E

I know there are some older ones that likely one-up these but I’ve seen what I’ve seen.

The Iron Giant. One of my favorite movies from my childhood.

Shrek 2. Basically the last good Shrek. Was bigger and better than Shrek 1 and also loved how it parodied pop culture. I also need to see Puss in Boots.

Wall-E. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love the message that it sends and the fact that it is a sci-fi movie helps. The first part of the movie on earth is really one of my favorite sequences in movie history. It conveys so much with barely any dialogue

Also honorable mention to Up. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because of the beginning montage where you see them live their whole life. I never knew you could pack a gut punch like that into a 3 minute scene.

I'm surprised not to see Fantastic Mr Fox nominated so far, unless I've skipped over it. I think it's fun and heartwarming in equal measure and visually beautiful too. It's one I really thought would enjoy univers acclaim.

Fantastic Mr Fox

Waltz With Bashir

Shrek

Pretty close and interchangeable with one another are Shrek 2, Monsters Inc. and Uni, Mulan and The Princess and the Frog.

The Last Unicorn, for the story, the excellent voice acting, songs and general vibe.

Sleeping Beauty, for the artwork and the music and rad villain.

The Land Before Time, because who doesn't like dinosaurs? This was a family favorite when my kid sister was little, so we watched it a lot. To this day the beginning will make me cry.
