okay... so the big kid finally got the better of me and i went and watched the Lego movie.. and it was really good
so what are your favourite animated movies (dont all say toy story, shrek and finding nemo!)
all films with cartoons count (live action)
my favourite i think is the incredibles... but as beautiful images go... the first 15 minutes of "UP" is just so beautifully done and if there isn't a tear in your eye then I think you are emotionless!!!! 
so...... discuss!!!!! |

Wow difficult to pick one, there's loads Iike for different reasons.
My current fave is Frozen, Classic Disney storytelling, animation & soundtrack ~ will make an epic musical production.
But I'm with you OP re Up, the balloon sequence is awesome and the emotion displayed between the old man & his wife ~ brings a tear or two to the eye. |

I've enjoyed all of the obvious ones including Ice Age and Madagascar. Realliy enjoyed the Incredibles too. But an unusual one I saw loads of times, as my son was at that age where he'd watch the same film over and over was Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. Thoroughly enjoyed that. |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Up is my favourite but I have others just nudging it. I like going to an animated film with the kids.
I made them watch The Croods and Rio this week as well as going to see Mr Peabody and Sherman. They went to the Lego Movie yesterday and loved it but I think I'll give it a miss.

there are many animated films that dont get released for ages, I normally find them..there are also lots AND lots of brilliant independednt animated films, I watched sam and max a few weeks ago..its just so endearing and strange.
even if u get a chance, check out some shorts on youtube, some people are making amazing animations in their own homes using free software, google Blender movies |

Beauty and the Beast has always been my favourite from being a very young girl and despite being a grown up meeting the characters Belle and Beast at Disney was a highlight for me but if I'm honest I love pretty much all of the animated movies |

"I'm watching Finding Nemo as I type. Dory is so funny. "
have to say I am actually really curious to see what they are going to do in "finding dory"... it will either be really good... or they will ruin it |

Well I found it a rollercoaster of a film, took me up and sent me down. Not sure if it counted as animation though, as I believe the process was called something like claymation. |

I said it first ( pout) and it was you that reminded me of it. I was trying to remember the name and when i saw Sam and Max it clicked in my head. |

I feel I must apologise for this poor show and feel suitably chastised. I must try harder to stay on track with the thread at hand.
So I'll change the film to labyrinth ... |

Great selection. 
(apart from POE which I have not watched)
So many great films to choose from.
Jungle Book has to be high on my list (as was one of the Disney films out closer to when I was a young boy)
Lilo and Stitch.
Like all the Pixar movies (each offers something different)
How To Train A Dragon
To be honest, like most animated stuff (you can always do so much more and present fantastic stories with amazing visuals)
That is before we even get to TV cartoons.

Have you see The Illusionist then also by Sylvain Chomet - if you liked Belleville rendezvous you should love it - just beautiful animation. |

Love animation.
No matter what CGI can do now, Animated movies and show still take you into new worlds!
Spirited Away, Up, Manga like Guyver, Ninja Scroll and Akira.

It's all about The Lion King. Can't believe no one mentioned that (i skimmed the thread). That's the best.
And also Tarzan.
...my kind of films. Then again. I can't sit in one place for too long to actually watch something wholly.

the new early shots of tarzan 2014 looked great...maybe not up to my thinking of how graphics have progressed.
a simple example is a film called Kon-tiki , the lines of fantasy and reality are really blurred..its so hard to pin down whats not real.
I imagine in 5 years time..computer graphics will be indistinguishable from real life......the graphics now that we are getting arent anything new(take world war z for example...which looks physically identical to I'am legend!)
handdrawn animation sometimes is great 3d work, sometimes it is amazingly done by hand.
have a look at dragonslayer(1982!)its very old...but features some of the best stop motion animation i have EVER seen |

"animations like Antz pushed the boundaries a little...adult humour pushes the sales(and yes better stories)"
Some of the best are the films that can keep kids glued to the pictures and imagination whilst containing enough "hidden" adult jokes / content to make parents want to take the kids to the cinema to see it. |

Ninja scroll is one of my favourite ever films. My brother got it me on blue ray for Christmas in a really nice metal case. Was over the moon, a great gift
As for others
Lion king
Beauty and the beast
Dumbo
Dino riders!!!
Monsters inc
Shrek
Toy story 1,2,3
Iron giant
Many many more
Controversial time I must be the only in the thread that doesn't like finding nemo  shocking I know but I just found dori really annoying |

Been thinking about what qualifies a movie for this list, and for me I think it would be one that I've watched, and liked so much that I'm happy enough to watch it again straight away. But I resist the urge to do so too many times, as I don't want to wear the corners off, so to speak.
Plus, I love seeing something new in the background that I've missed in previous viewings, as I often do with another of my favourites,
Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

Well technically you didn't as he was responsible for '9' being turned from a short into a feature.
And speaking of Tim Burton I really love "Vincent". I've always had a thing for stop motion.
Another amazing short film is Tomek Baginski's "Fallen Art". Pure genius, incredible lighting and it appeals to my warped mind. He does great work.
Also "Backwater Gospel" is a superb animated short with awesome art style. |

Oh my god yes, the CG sharks are amazing.
(and I should know I'm studying VFX)
I got to talk to the head of Chaos Group who did the effects for that at an animation conference in Stuttgart. He's a cool guy. |
