Greetings,
I am SharkMan12 who’s joined GeeksandGamers very recently and couldn’t help but notice the lack in talk about animated movies and animation in general. I’d like to talk about what are your favorite animated movies. Doesn’t have to be your number one because that can be tricky if you know what I mean. Let’s get started.
Many people may not be thrilled with this but one of my favorites is Disney’s Frozen.
After six years, it still holds a huge impression on me. It inspired me into opening up, going out of my comfort zone, trying to look at things another way. I love the characters, especially Anna who is one of my top favorite Disney princesses. It’s got the best songs I’ve heard in a long time and yes, I even liked “Fixer Upper.” And the story is very meaningful and I thought the plot twist was unbelievable. It’s a very influential and emotional experience for me. Wish I could say the same for the sequel.
1. Redline for that man-ly manliness GOD-TIER animation. 7yrs, 100,000 hand-drawn frames of animation.
2. Akira for the story, themes, animation and overall asthetic. Also my introduction to more adult (japanese) animation. (had only seen DB+DBZ before this)
3. Spirited away for the same reasons as akira, my first (and I assume many’s) introduction to Studio Ghibli.
4. WALL-E for the look, story and characters. I’ve always connected better with robots/AI and animals than people in movies for some reason. Probably my favourite Pixar movie, closest contender would be Incredibles.
5. Rango as it is, having it’s cinematography done by Roger F-ing Deakins, is in my opinion the best looking CG film i’ve seen when compared to films of it’s ilk i.e Westerns. Being a massive fan of the greater western movies (especially those made by Sergio Leone) it hit the spot for entertaining me to no end. Think its one of Depp’s best performaces along side Raul Duke aka Hunter.S.Thompson (who makes a small cameo in the film as well).
Honerable mention. Didn’t know whether it counted but felt I needed to mention “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”. I love noir films both classic and Neo and this may have been the very first I watched. It’s also way ahead of it’s time with such belivable acting considering the other characters are hand animated in later. The story was good and the style and theme held true to the Genre it was borrowing from. A great film that I could flip flop over comparing to Rango for No.5
Disney: The Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Aladdin, Mulan
Dreamworks: Shrek 1 & 2, Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, How t Train Your Dragon trilogy, The Prince of Egypt
Pixar: Toy Story 1, 2, and 3, The Incredibles, Up
Warner Bros: The Lego Movie, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, The Iron Giant
Sony: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse
Don Bluth: The Secret of Nimh
I love Star Wars and Digimon, so for my top favorites i have to say the Star Wars The Clone Wars and Digimon movies.
Also really loved Spider-man: Into The Spider-verse
Ice-Age is a childhood favorite
And a surprise favorite for me is Onward, i’m not the biggest Disney/Pixar fan, so i really wasn’t expecting to be crying my eyes out by the end of that movie
