What is your favorite animated film?

[Shoggoth2588]

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

One of the best Batman movies ever and a staple of my childhood. That movie serves as the threshold between my childhood days of Lady and the Tramp and Sleeping Beauty and, my Teenage days of Black Sabbath, Night of the Living Dead and...well I never got into D&D until later due to a lack of people to play it with but the desire was there for sure.

Summer Wars was a good one I liked.
And yeah, Wall-E was amazing.

 

[y1fella]

wall-e One of my five favorite but if you mean anime then i guess it would be ghost in the shell or somthing by studio Ghibli.

 

[TheMightyImp]

Spirited away <3

I like all those modern films, but Fantastic Planet still does it for me.

 

[tombman888]

How to train your Dragon. My most favorite animated film of all time.

 

[Antitonic]

Pure animation: The Halloween Tree [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0191173/]. I used to watch it every year before they stopped playing it, and I lost my taped copy.


"CG"-ish: The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

The Lion King,Balto or any of the Toy Stories.

 

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Anything made by Pixar. Shrek, Avatar, the list goes on.

 

[Disaster Button]

Up. By far. The only animated film to make me cry tears of sadness and joy.

 

[Saboten]

My absolute favorite is tied between two actually.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Laputa Castle in the Sky

Both by Studio Ghibli (Same as Spirited Away) but done about 15 or so years earlier.

Ahh, you stole mine! Castle in the Sky is by far my favorite movie!! Also Whispers of the Heart is really good. Oh and Tokyo Godfathers! Those three are my absolute favorite.

Transformers the Movie! The eighties classic, not the Bayformers. That movie irrevocably altered my life when I first saw it at the tender age of 4. It taught me what death, evil, and badassery was.

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

Hand-drawn: The Land Before Time, the very first one, not when it went all musical and kid friendly, the one where Littlefoot's mother dies from a T-rex attack. My first real adult and sad moment in a kid's film when I was little. I miss those moments in kid's films.

Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, those are the only movies I've seen by the same developers but I want to see all of the ones they've made.

Emperor's New Groove, Aladdin 1 and 3, The Lion King movies, Lady and the Tramp, Thumbelina, The little Mermaid was alright.

CG: Up, Monster's Inc., The Toy Story movies, Shrek 1 and 2., A bug's Life!

Shorts: Geri's game, a small animation by pixar released in america on the VHS version of a bug's life I believe back in 1997, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSg-GWXBurQ

Knick Knack: Another animated short by Pixar back in 1989: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZnOK37KpT8

All time favourite is still Waltz with Bashir, I've mentioned it so many times on these forums I really can't be bothered to repeat myself again. But it is really good, it's a war film based on the director's own attempts to recover his memory from the 1982 Lebanon war. It's incredibly poiniant and emotional, the ending will have you in tears.

 

[Casual Shinji]

My Neighbor Totoro and The Incredibles are the front runners.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Akira, easily. Introduced me to anime.

That, or any Miyazaki film, especially Spirited Away.

Rock & Rule

A new adition to my favourite animated film catagory. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a truely brilliant film! Bought it pretty much on a whim because I liked the title and the poster, one of the best and most well written coming of age storys I've seen come from animation and up there with the Studio Gibli crowd. Its a briliantly written film and really pulls on your heart strings, making you care deeply about the characters and as time travel inevitably goes wrong your stomach really sinks as you see the devastating consequences. It's a really charming bitter sweet film and bears a lot in common with Groundhog Day. My avatar is the adorable main character Makoto literally leaping thorugh time as she does.
