Favourite non-Disney animated film?

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

I'm sure I missed some great titles, and I didn't list any of the current CGI animated titles like Monsters, Inc. or Ice Age. I did add Titan A.E. because it combined CGI and hand drawn animation. I'm really only looking for favourites in non-Disney, traditionally animated films.

 

My pick?

 

The Iron Giant.

[Guest MrRant]

Nihm... I'm suprised you didn't include the animated Lord of The Rings/Hobbit trilogy.

[Guest shlidgn90]

watership down rule. did you know that the crazy bird that always looking for big water is voiced by "uncle phil" from the fresh prince of bel air show?

[Guest El Satanico]

Damn i'm torn. I liked The Iron Giant alot and it's the best childrens movie to come out in a long time. However i also like Heavy Metal alot.

[Guest redbaron51]

Heavy Metal

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Alas, I'm of the few people that prefered Heavy Metal 2000 (AKA Heavy Metal: FAKK 2) over the original...meh...

 

I picked The Secret Of Nimh. Any animated kids movie that can be that dark and violent and yet still for kids gets my vote.

 

Just a question: why no An American Tail or its superior sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West? It's a Universal Studios animated film, and it's cute for the kids with adult undertones (the whores in Fievel Goes West, for example).

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

I haven't seen either American Tail films. Same goes with the animated Lord of the Rings/Hobbit/Return of the King.

 

My bad.

[Guest razazteca]

the Hobbit is my favorite

[Guest J*ingus]

I've only seen Heavy Metal out of that list, which although it's a guilty pleasure of mine I can't really recommend it with a clear conscience due to the rather extreme misogyny in the flick. So I'd go with either Princess Mononoke (yep, hand-drawn) or Fritz the Cat.

[Guest areacode212]

I haven't seen Princess Mononoke yet...I'll get around to popping in the DVD someday. But for now, I'll go with Watership Down, which scared the hell out of me as a kid. The book is good, too.

[Guest Karnage]

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut is my favourite North American animated film.

 

Let's not get started on animé.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Out of all those listed, definitely The Iron Giant. I haven't seen Secret of Nimh or either of the American Tale movies in years though...

[Guest Dmann2000]

Where's Charlotte's Web

[Guest JaKyL25]

If the list is excluding anime, my pick is The Iron Giant, which is my favorite animated movie PERIOD outside of Akira.

 

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut was a pretty glaring omission though. Damn fine movie.

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

What about "The Last Unicorn"? I loved that one when I was a little kid...

 

I voted for "Heavy Metal", personally.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Wow... there's a BUNCH of missing stuff on here. Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man, Batman, Batman Beyond, Ferngully: The Last Rainforest...

 

Excluding anime and picking from the list, however, I'd pick Secret of NIMH. That movie scared the fucking shit out of me when I was little.

[Guest C.H.U.D.]

Damn, I missed out on more than I though (like South Park). My bad. Maybe I will do a SUPER, DUPER poll later.

[Guest Razor Roman]

Definately the Iron Giant wins out of this list. Brad Bird is a genius.

 

But An American Tale was also a wonderful movie. (I dare you not to choke up when Fivel sings "Somewhere out there")

 

And South Park is probably the funniest animated movie ever.

[Guest J*ingus]

South Park wasn't hand-drawn. They've used computers to make the animation from the second season onward.

[Guest Strike Force!]

None of those.
