Favourite animated films....

Call me old fashioned but what about the original Walt Disney films !!

Can't beat Bambi, makes me cry every time and I haven't even got the excuse of having kids to watch it with, but the cats are very good tear moppers:D

Apologies - was viewing on my phone and the TP app doesn't show the emotions, just the code, which I thought 'grumblegrumblegrumble' was.

Now I know you're just miserable.....
 
I liked "9" its a bit more obscure but i really enjoyed it.

Yep, really liked it, although it did seem short. Beautiful animation though and very different to what else was out at the time. Yep, forgot how good that was......

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most heart wrenching film I've seen. I loved My Neighbour Totoro when I was younger.

Glad someone mentioned Grave of the Fireflies. Has to be one of the best feature length animations ever made, a shame it's rather overshadowed by other Studio Ghibli films. Waltz with Bashir is also excellent apart from the rather limp stance it takes in portraying the IDF.

My father is an animator/director so the last 23+ years have pretty much consisted of nightly watchings of various animations. many of them shorts. One that I keep coming back to is Overtime, its a really beautiful tribute to Jim Henson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38yBYqEDOpE

Anyone else worried about the forthcoming Tintin film? If you can even call it animation...
 
Oh, talking about getting all dewy eyed at the end of animated films, I actually wept openly at the end bit of "Barnyard". :dummy: :'( :D
The quality of the CGI was actually quite cheap-looking but the ending part actually "got me right there". Probably because someone I knew had passed away a few days prior to watching that film, so I guess it was all in the timing.
 
Call me a pansy, but I find the beginning of "up" very sad, and it makes my face leak more often than not
 
Pretty much most of the Pixar catalogue does it for me, particularly the Toy Stories and Wall-E (amazed no one has mentioned him yet!) Their strength lies in excellent stories and scripting. Shrek was good too with puss being the best character in the lot of them.
Wallace and Gromit too, British comedy at it's best.

i know, a very depressing start to a film.. you dont expect it from a "kids" movie either so it catches you by surprise. :shake:

yes WALL-E, another great one. the OH tells me i watched it with a mouth open thoroughly glued expression.
 
Nick Park needs to do another feature length W&G! Watched "A matter of loaf and death" and "curse of the wererabbit" again today...pure genius.
