Alice looks Terrific.  Seen the clip before but have yet to see the
film.  I hope to discover more weird, surreal ones thanks to this topic.

Glad to see Fantastic Planet get a vote.  I love it, though I might have appreciated that much more under the right psychotropic conditions.  To be cliché, what a trip that must have been.

Re Chicken Run.  I love Aardman generally, but I didn''t much like Chicken Run.

One recent one using computer animation that I forgot to mention that I liked very much was Metropia.



I like weird, generally.

I'm going to watch Renee Laloux's Gandahar next, which looks good:

Fantastic Planet all the way. Watched it once literally right after my friend and I smoked some salvia as we came up on acid, what a wild film that was.

the Sword in the Stone is not from the dark age times, it is from teh end of the middle periode, of okey quality, the dark ages times started with Robin Hood and lasted to Oliver & Company

Sword in the Stone is a good and funny movie, not the best but it is really cute and good spirited, 6/10 in my rating.

Taran and the Black Couldron is a bit slow starter, but is having a good climax if i remember correctly but it is the lowest point for Disney, 4/10.

who do you like best of these
17 One Hundred and One Dalmatians January 25, 1961
18 The Sword in the Stone December 25, 1963
19 The Jungle Book October 18, 1967
20 The Aristocats December 24, 1970
21 Robin Hood November 8, 1973
22 The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh March 11, 1977 [note 1][note 2]
23 The Rescuers June 22, 1977
24 The Fox and the Hound July 10, 1981
25 The Black Cauldron July 24, 1985 [note 4]
26 The Great Mouse Detective July 2, 1986
27 Oliver & Company November 13, 1988 (premiere)
November 18, 1988

Huh, I could've sworn Sword in the Stone and the Last Unicorn (not even a Disney film, but based on a book written by the same guy who wrote the Black Cauldron) were Dark Age films. Just shows my incompetency in Disney trivia. The Black Cauldron is my favorite Dark Age film with The Fox and the Hound right behind it, but, out of the Disney films listed above, I think Jungle Book is my favorite, though I've over-watched it. The Black Cauldron had its flaws, but the design was particularly great and it has a dark atmosphere that would not normally be found in Disney movies. For me, 8/10.

Princess Mononoke barely over Spirited Away. Another one for me which is not on the list is Escaflowne.

When The Wind Blows is great. Just too sad for me. The book was bad enough.

Bad but great. Both book and fiilm. For some reason rarely shown here. I would watch it again if shown.

^^ Iron Giant was good.  That, Astro Boy and a fave Ghibl film  of mine called Lupoto: Castle in the Sky might make a neat triple-bill.

^I like Wizards -- forgot all about it.  It's on youtube so I might just watch it again today -- I was maybe ten when I saw it last.

Snowie:  Definitely going to check out Bellevile Rendesvouz  -- thanks!  And I also really liked Steamboy.

Michael:  Definitely gonna check out Wicked City.

Nice choices, Jon.

I'm surprised that When the Wind Blows has no votes, and so few votes overall (a rare film that actually brought tears to my eyes) -- such a  moving film, and due to the soundtrack which includes the title song by David Bowie, the Brazilian by Genesis, and lots of Roger Waters it would have gotten more interest from the archivers.  I think I'm going with Grave of the Fireflies.

I'll look into Michel Ocelot, knew the name, as I love lots of French film.  On a tangential note, an old joke I heard from a school principal:

How do you titillate an ocelot?
You oscillate a tit-a-lot.

 I started watching Le Roi et L'Oiseau with my kids not that long ago, but they were very boisterous so we didn't finish it.  I remember one French film that was for me a glaring omission from the list, La planete sauvage. 

I hope to discover lots of films thanks to this topic.

Coraline is very good.  I think I would have listed that had I put some more thought into the poll.  I also liked Secret of Kells.  I started watching Fantastic Mr. Fox not that long ago, but things cropped up and I didn't finish it. 

---------------------------------------------

Not long after posting as I prepared it very quickly (doing this due to insomnia)  I remembered another particular favourite of mine, La Planete Sauvage (Fanatastic Planet) -- going to add that and remove the Hobbit.  And I might replace Fritz the Cat with Coraline.  I know there are various excellent of the weird variety ones that I'm forgetting.

Far too hard to pick. The most recent I've watched is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and it was great.

Coraline is my absolute favorite animated film. I also love Studio Ghibli's films. Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are my favorite of those. 2009 had some great ones like the above mentioned Coraline, Secret of Kells, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and the hailed Up (which, despite its quality, did not deserve that Oscar). Sylvian Chomet has directed some good ones like Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist.
