          Good but overrated movie anon. I wouldn't place it even in my top 10 favorite animated films by style.

            Norstein is the greatest animator alive. Even Miyazaki would concede that.

              Maybe but that doesn't make that film have the best animation style. A lot of gorgeous frames do not form an overall animation style.

              I don't value Miyazaki's opinions.

      As much as I love hnk the animations is far to low budget to ever be anything special

      It's ok but it's beyond overhyped. You can tell some incredibly talented people put a lot of work into it, but something feels off to me.

    Probably Akira, although it's fricking nonsense.

      That's a contender for sure. You're right too, the script is awful

      That movie is utterly terrible, it looks awful as well.

      The Wings of Honneamise. Early Gainax was top fricking notch

      Not a great movie - solid beginning and ending but it sags a bunch in the middle. Some amazing animation though and Sakamoto's music is great.

      I'll kind of agree about the visuals even though it's full of modern anime trends that made me give up on the medium

      Lion King really was god tier for animation. Saw it on the big screen and it's shocking.

        movies like lion king and aladdin just arent great vehicles for good animation. it doesnt have striking visual like heavy metal or something and it also doesnt have badass action scenes like akira. plus everyone is goofy looking proportion wise in aladdin and just an animal in lion king so even when its good animation its hard to tell and doesnt mean much

          You might want to rewatch the Lion King opening then.

            i can only think of Black folk when i hear lion king now so i dont really care to watch it. i dont think it was so great anyway, got over hyped and sort of became famous for being famous along with sticking in people memory because of the sad sappy death

          We don't need more Japanese animation discussion on the internet. We need more discussion of high quality western animation for as little as exists.

    Agree with Fist of the North Star and Steamboy. But for me, it will always be the Secret of NIMH.

    I watch this once a year at least. Great movie

    Highly recommend The Spine of Night. Not quite as good but really scratches that same itch.

      Same, I saw it for the first time on acid, and like most things you do on acid, it became a very special movie for me. As soon as the intro sequence kicks in, I'm hooked. Radar (radar radar) RIDER!

    No. It was very cool (and still is) but it was a collection of stories by different artists that weren’t all that into animation in the first place. Richard Corbin looks a LOT different in the comics, for example.
    It basically looked like an issue of the magazine without the ads.
    All that being said, I would love to see an American animation studio competing with anime in the grown up market.

    It's pretty grounded because it's just people/animals/jungle but disney's Tarzan is probably the pinnacle of western 2d animation. It had a minimal amount of 3d work and it's blended seamlessly. the only way you'd ever know they used 3d is because you're aware of how much of a pain in the ass it'd be to do the tree-surfing scenes without it.
