favorite animated film

[matstao]

The "favorite music video" thread, & tonight's personal viewing of the film "Spirited Away" (an actually purchased DVD!!) has inspired me to inquire about everyone's favorite animation.

So what's your favorite animated film?

[Evil_Dweller_01]

I heard spirited away is very good.. I'm going to download it and watch it

[CCSDUDE]

Vampire Hunter D (the original one)

Wasn't a good story...animation sucked....kinda bland.

Yet I can't help but feel a bit of déjà vu for that flick...so weird yet 'homely'.

Chobits (not a movie...so it's kinda out) also got me thinking. Under all that comedy and fan service the message got me thinking. Are we really gonna be finding love in humanoid computers that do everything for us years from now? Kinda creepy....

This is mine for now....

You already strike a nerve more deeply than I can tell you here.

There are some things, that just touch you emotionally in a way that nothing else does, and this, Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi) is one of them. (2 cd set no subs )

I am also very fond of Jin-Roh (The Wolf Brigade) ! ! ( 2 cd set with subs)

Cowboy Bebop the Movie. (2 cd set with in En)

Also, Vampire hunter D, and Bloodlust are good.

I like the Ghibli Studio work, like Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, Kikis' Delivery Service, and My Neighbor Totoro, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Princess Mononoke , Only Yesterday , and the very excellent - Whisper of the Heart. I really really like that movie. Grave of The Fireflies is very sadning : (

I still like the Ghost in the Shell, and Akira too.

I will look into finding those that you mentioned. Vampire Hunter D seems like a must have.

I must add "Princess Mononoke" to my list. Ashitaka wasn't always so cool while posting in this forum, but that film (Mononoke) is briliiant.

I have recently moved in with my girlfriend & her five year old son, Lukas. He is spoiled by granmommy & has tons of vids, most lame. I've bought him "The Dark Crystal", "Secret of Nimb", "The Hobbit", & "The Muppet Movie" so far. All great movies "for kids of all ages". "Monsters inc" is also one we both like.

edit: yes I have the double disc version of "spirited". I also saw it on the big screen. I look forward to watching the 2nd disc tomorrow.

Theres 2 just so you know...

Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

The new one has better animation...better everything with a diffrent story line.

The original is a must....it's just so odd ball you can't help but love it. And bloodlust has a nice air about it.

I just ripped the first one in OGM format....so PM me if you wanna copy...I'll find some way of getting it to ya.

Liked that one,too.

Here's two good ones, "Blood-The Last Vampire" and "Hellsing"

[Ken17625]

Best animated film?

Believe it or not, Toy Story. Never before had I seen anything like it. And the comedy stretched from the childish, to things only adults could catch with a quick enough eye.

All star voice cast by the way. It fit nicely.

[tackdaddy]

the 4 part darkstalkers was great and blood the last vampire.those were my favorite movies and for a series i like devil hunter yohko a excellant show.

Yea, i tend to lean toward "anime", because of the art work , and the story lines. Quiet different from american animation, but there getting there.

[crackerjacker]

damn there is lots of animations i like.
i didnt see this movie yet but i have the movie.

*buy dvds there reasonable*

I completely agree & think it's part of the reason the RIAA's income has been hurt. I still spend money on entertaining disks, but DVD's are the better value now. The extra features & the (almost) garantee that they'll look & sound perfect on my system, makes them worth it. Purchased CD's are good, but not near the value of a purchased, newly-released DVD.

edit: i'd rather not let this loosely related thought steer this thread away from animated favorites. Please keep the recommendations coming.

@CSSDUDE - Chobits does make an interesting point. How long before lonely geeks can order their own gf off the net? (maybe that's just me)

@Everyone - Vampire Hunter D & Bloodlust were great.

Spirited Away is beyond words; I'm a Miyazaki fanboy now.

Ghost in the Shell is one of my favs.

I love Cowboy Bebop. It's a great for anyone who's new to anime. (watch the series before you see the movie)

All good choices...cept Ghost is a tad weak they went for all the effects rather then telling the story right...

And yes...I'd order a Chi model....lol geek me up if that's geeky.

[CompuGeek]

I totally agree about Ghost. Stupid plot, but it's a hell of a lot of fun to see a naked & invisible uberchick kicking bad guy ass.

I have yet to find one that isn't Japanese. So watch out. (Not that I download them, that would be "stealing" : -)

Watch out? It's best in Japanese.....that dubbed crap is WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKK........lol

Computergeek...indeed....watching ubergirl rock some cyborg world is fun.

I just watched it Spirited Away a third time...and I must say...it does kick ass. *spits on Disney* I'd love to see it on the big screen while tripping on acid...I'd have nightmares for weeks....

[moshsandwich]

Mine would probably be Gunbuster, was made by Sunrise before Evangelion. Downloaded/Streamed it from Sputnik7.Com before they took it down.
Another would probably be End Of Eva, it's strange, but the animation....... wooooow......
And the FF: Spirits Within, amazing graphics too.
(rambles on an on.... anime so good!)

[Shadow, Thief of the Sun]

Animated movies by brothers Quay (which, in turn, were inspiration for Tool videos) and some animations at www.filmwatcher.com

Edit: And some Russian animation, of course :)

[Cyberpukish]

ROBOTECH. i love it.

[AnimeDood]

too many. cant just choose one

I agree. The subbed version is definately better but I know some ppl like my ex get annoyed watching a movie with subs for some reason.

[Ken17625]

Subs are ok, but dubs don't bother me either. I speak english, therefore I don't see the problem.

I guess hardcore anime fans hate dubs because some do a bad translation job and some may be edited. Personally, it doesn't matter to me either way.

[CTC Command]

Heavy Metal

Beavis And Butthead Do America (really dumb but that's what you want when you sit down to watch a full length motion picture starring Beavis and Butthead)

Toy Story II

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

Iron Giant

The Bugs Bunny Movie

Haven't watched any japanime movies whose title I can remember, but the ones I've watched have been entertaining.
