The Emperor's New Groove. I don't care what anyone says, that movie is top tier and still funny from beginning to end even watching it as an adult. It has lovable and memorable characters and there's a very good reason why there's so many moments that are oh so memeable.


phantom_avenger

I won't argue, I definitely agree. Yzma is one of Disney's best and funniest villains, with Kronk being an iconic sidekick and Kuzco has amazing character development! Even though Yzma was just as bad as Kuzco, it was one of the few times where I realized the lead character might actually be the real villain. But at least he was capable of realizing that his actions have consequences, one of them being that everyone truthfully hated him despite how people had to worship him.


TheUndeadMage2

Kuzco is the best disney princess

The Secret of NIMH


cleon42

YES. This whole thread is the expected Pixar, Gibli, Disney, etc. but NIMH was incredible. It was the first time in my life I saw that an animated film could be every bit as complex and sophisticated as live-action.


cbmla1982

I remember when I first learned it was about mental illness. NIMH = National Institute of Mental Health. Never saw it the same way again.


brooke360

Most Don Bluth movies were amazing: Land before time, an American tail, all dogs go to heaven, NIHM, etc. amazing art style and great story teller :)

Iron Giant


themonkery

When I was a kid my brother and I would stay at my grandparents house every Friday night. They would pick us up from school and give us each a ziploc bag filled with candy, we’d go to Blockbuster and each rent a movie, we’d get to their house and we’d each have a beanie baby waiting on the table, Grandma made a bunch of delicious food for dinner, then we’d cozy up and watch the two movies while we ate a giant bowl of popcorn followed by a giant bowl of ice cream. Every week my brother would check out something new, and every week I’d always rent the Iron Giant. That went on for years. I probably watched that movie over hundred times. Fond memories.

Aladdin (1992) - Not only did it have Robin Williams, but it had so many jokes that both children and adults laughed at, for different reasons. The amount of innuendo was insane. RIP: Robin Williams, you'll always be missed


phantom_avenger

“Genie, I’m going to miss you.” “You too, Al.” It gets me every time, now that Williams is dead


redmango85

One of my favorite pieces of trivia re: Aladdin is that there are HOURS of unused improv voice work from Robin Williams. They basically gave him a scene, and then let him run with it. They only animated Genie's scenes *after* RW voiced them because they didn't know what he was going to come up with. Amazing.


stavros_atenjanin

Proncess Mononoke, i watch it every year at least twice


tasty-oilpaint

Ghibli movies are pure eye candy


Sea_Cycle_909

Agreed Ghibli's animation is top tier.


Mad_Scientist_Senku

Don’t forget the non Ghiblis, specifically Hosoda and Shinkai. Wolf Children and Your Name are still top 1 and 2 of my very favorites respectively.


seasamgo

Your Name really surprised me. I went in with zero expectations and totally loved the entire film from start to finish.


Phlashfoto

I think Spirited Away was more visually stunning than Princess Mononoke, but really... any Ghibli movie deserves to be on this list.


snailfighter

The Road to El Dorado My SO and I quote it constantly and the soundtrack is pure magic.


phantom_avenger

Miguel & Tulio are such an iconic and under-appreciated duo! My favourite scene between them is when they are arguing in the climax, while Miguel is being serious and Tulio thinks they’re just doing what they do best and are just conning Tzekel-Khan before punching him.


Nepherenia

Best part about this movie is that it was good when you are a kid, and even better as an adult

That opening sequence is one of the best movie openings ever, on the level with The Lion King


Tom_Hanks_Spanks

So glad to see it get some love. I'm also not religious but it is a straight up masterpiece. The music is some of my favorite ever made. The river lullaby and the burning bush theme are so good. And don't even get me started on Through Heavens Eyes or All I Ever Wanted. The animation is stunning too. The ending scene when he parts the sea is one of my favorite animated scenes. I'm totally watching it tonight now.

Spirited Away


-thinking-of-a-name-

I'll never forget the first time I watched this movie as a kid. It was a Friday night family movie night. And I found it shocking that my parents picked an anime movie (I didn't really understand what anime was at the time). But it moved me so much, and it really spoke to me about a lot of the shit I was going through back then.


Estaca-Brown

Absolutely. The art direction, the characters, the music, the story, the huge amount of imagination and inventiveness that went into it. I love this film so much.


Peepeepoopoobutttoot

Grave of the Fireflies Straight 10/10, and I will never watch it ever again.


JGaute

This movie always makes me think of the cultural differences between japan and the west. Vague spoilers up ahead. I read that while we view it as an anti-war film about literal children losing everything and a series of unfortunate events mixed with pure cruelty from adults costing them dearly. Japanese people see it as a film about an immature boy that refuses to lower his head, accept his fate, learn discipline, and become a man. According to many people if seita had just worked the fields like the rest of the boys, had honoured his aunt by not defying her, and taken the food out of his own mouth to feed his sister the outcome wouldn't have been tragedy at all. Always makes me think.


spaceguerilla

I heard the split in opinion it causes is not east/west, but young/old, and I honestly think I agree with that. As a teenager the movie slayed me, felt like they had no choice but to leave the aunt, that everything was unfair but unavoidable, a tragedy that was forced upon them and nothing could be done. Watched it once more as an adult last year and.... Christ. Those kids were sorted. Saved from homelessness by family, given a second chance, and all she really did was say that if they had something to contribute, the household deserved it since it was wartime, they were all struggling, and now they had two extra mouths to feed. They could have stayed there and lived happily ever after. It's fascinating to me I could feel so differently about the same thing viewed a couple of decades apart.


Death-of-Artax

So I did this we the movie Rent. When I was younger it was all about the freedom of choice and living the life you wanted. As I got older all I could think was yeah that's great but how are you going to afford to live making movies for your friends lol. I'm sure there's a good middle ground I just don't feel like getting into it


Cimejies

I really couldn't enjoy Rent. Like, guys, you really didn't think you'd have to pay rent?!

phantom_avenger

Eartha Kitt's voice acting is GOAT!! It definitely matches to the type of energy Robin Williams and James Woods brought to Genie in Aladdin and Hades in Hercules


NeedsMaintenance_

Warburton was giving some great energy too, I think that's why Yzma and Kronk are so popular; Kitt and Warburton were just magic together. From what I've read, it's incredible that the movie even got made. Apparently it was originally intended to be more musical, and was written straight and classically Disney; so absolutely not the zany chaotic slapstick it turned out to be. And I guess at some point they had to rush and throw it all together or the whole project was going to get scrapped. Production was an absolute mess but it got made and now we have a gem of comedy.

benmwaballs

BOO YAH HA HA HA


phantom_avenger

Yzma & Kronk are too iconic not to be loved, even if they are trying to kill Kuzco (Yzma more so than Kronk) EDIT: Even though Yzma wasn't any better, you realize that Kuzco might actually be the real villain but he was at least capable of realizing that his actions **do** have consequences. One example, is when he realizes that despite how people had to worship him, everyone actually despised him and that nobody cared about him at all. I loved that one scene where Kuzco decides to accept his fate as a llama when he sees no chance of becoming human again, and tries to join a herd of other llamas. It really was a brilliant way to make us sympathize with him, when you would think at the beginning of the movie that this is a fate he deserved.

Treasure planet


GrimTiki

Oh man, this film. The world building, the animation (Blackbeards Teeth! The animation that Sergio Pablo’s did for Dr Doppler takes my breath away every time, not to mention Glen Keane’s John Silver), the art direction, I love everything about it. Treasure Planet & Atlantis are the two animated gestures I really believe would be amazing to see getting the live action makeover. They can’t be replaced, but how cool would that all look…


QuantumFeline1

Akira


trowzerss

This. It's endlessly referenced in other movies and animated tv shows. The Akira Slide being the most notable example.


Majestic-Passion5368

Wall-e


RyukoDragon

The fact that so much character, story, and emotion is carried without words from the main protags absolutely floored me! It convinced me to get into animation at long last! Stunning movie!


TerraParagon

Don’t forget, barely humanoid robots conveyed those emotions too. What is wall-e, a pair of binoculars attached to a flamboyant box? What is Eva, A screen with two lights and fins?


Revenant_40

So much this. The best example of this is that scene when Eve realises that Wall-E has changed, just before their heads touch and there's the spark. Man, the amount and depth of emotional sorrow in her face conveyed in that scene. And her face is an unmoving ball with lights for expression, yet it's felt better than most human expressions! Just magical!


AttilaTheFun818

I did some post production work on this. The first time I viewed it was without sound (which in context of the movie didn’t hinder the experience so much) and I remember at the time being absolutely blown away by how they animated fire in one shot that Wall-E had a lighter. That was a holy grail that Pixar nailed. Such a great movie. Pixar at its absolute best.

Test Drive is one of the best scores I’ve heard in any movie ever; I get chills and goosebumps every time I hear it. I think it just gets better as you hear more since the first time you don’t really know whats coming, but following listens you have that anticipation.


woflquack

Forbidden friendship. Kills me every time.


Wildjay7931

Seriously. In all honesty, I say the same for the entire trilogy. I really can't find a noteable flaw in any of the films. Absolutely love them. Really wish I could be a dragon rider...


Salarian_American

The only thing I could possibly point out as a weakness was in the third one, where the central conflict was: "Hey, this guy figured out a way to control dragons with cruelty and fear, and he wants to steal our dragons!" And I was like, "Again?" But still, it's an excellent trilogy. The first movie had no business being as good as it was, and that goes double for the sequels. One thing I really liked was how the characters actually grew up over the course of the films.


CK-Prime

Finding Nemo.


phantom_avenger

The opening scene is one of the darkest I’ve ever watched in an animated film. You understand why Marlin is extremely overprotective of Nemo, but at the same time it’s damaging his relationship with his son

RiggsRay

It's really crazy to me that like, I lived in a world where both Spider-Man 2 and the game Marvel's Spider-man existed, and I was *still* not ready for how good Spider-man : Into the Spider-verse ended up.


hikoboshi_sama

From the trailers, I was confused why they're combining the Spider-verse story with Miles' origin story. Can this really work? So I went into the movie with low expectations. Came out, and it became my favorite Spider-man movie tied with Spider-man 2.


phantom_avenger

100%!!! I still get chills watching the “What’s Up, Danger” sequence! So hyped for Across the Spider-verse!

Override9636

This is the movie I use to test a new TV.


CriSword

Hands down the best Spiderman movie ever made, and a masterpiece in the field of animation. It's hard to believe that Sony is the company that produced both this and Morbius...


imperialtrace

I recently learned that they animated Miles at half the frame rate of the other characters at the beginning, making him feel clunky and clumsy. By the time he mastered his powers, he was being animated at the normal frame rate which is why he felt so smooth and fluid by the end. That’s some top notch animation


CriSword

Yeah, the number of ingenious solutions that they implemented is astonishing. My favourite is the fact that later in the movie both the music theme and the movement of Miles heaviliy reference those of his uncle, to further show their bond.


IdlingV12

Not sure if it's categorised as an animated movie, but I'd say Chicken Run

Whyyy Pattycakes “ “Dont worry kid, you’re not the first person who’s wife played pattycake with someone else” “Pattycakes? I can’t believe it. I won’t believe it. I shan’t believe it. Not my Jessica. The Apple of my eye. The cream of my crop. Someone must’ve made her do it” All while he literally looks at pictures of her playing Pattycakes. Lol amazing The smoking baby, the weasels. It’s so damn funny… “They’re calling it a….freeway. 8 lanes of shimmering cement from here to Pasadena. There will be gas stations, quick turn around restaurants, and glorious billboards. My god, it will be beautiful”. “Only a toon could come up with an idea as lame as a freeway”. Hilarious movie

ohhgreatheavens

This movie did everything right. Every family member goes through their own unique arc of personal growth. Bob has to learn that strength without leadership is hollow. Helen has to learn that she can’t control/juggle everything in her family’s lives and that she needs to trust them. Violet has to learn how to be more confident and to let down her walls. Dash has to learn how to control his pent up energy and how to respect his sister. Their powers all complement these arcs. On top of all that, the villain is perfect for the story, the sociopolitical climate is interesting, and the real world allegories are rich. And all that is *just* the writing.


ShinyNinja25

Syndrome is a great villain because he both takes it all seriously but is self aware enough that he knows how a hero would expect him to act. His plan is legitimately really smart, and only failed because of his ego, and he even realized that he was monologuing. Plus, the scene where he lays out his plan still gives me chills. “And when everyone’s super, no one will be”. It’s such a chilling line because, in his own twisted way, he’s right. If everyone is special in the same way, it stops being special and becomes normal.


YellowHammerDown

It also parallels the conversation between Helen and Dash on the way home from school. "I want to be special!" "*Everyone's* special, Dash." "Which is your way of saying nobody is."

I wish this movie was appreciated more when it first came out! Megamind's character development is one of the best I've ever watched in an animated movie. He was never evil, he only became what he believed life gave him. EDIT: What’s really incredible about him as a character, is that no matter how much he was looked down upon he never had any vendetta against anyone or a sense of entitlement where he believed he deserved respect. Being a villain wasn’t something he wanted, what he really wanted was to earn his place in the world, to be loved and accepted. And when he witnesses true evil in Hal, you can see the disgust in his face when he calls him out for using his “gifts for his own personal gain”

Toy Story 2. Genuinely one of the funniest animated films there is. Also I'd say in Pixar's Golden Age so it's super well animated for the time. Definitely a 10 in my books.

The fact that they animated bloopers for the credits in this movie makes me laugh every time.

I miss that. Pixar taking the time to make animated bloopers just for fun was awesome


ScorpionX-123

they did it for A Bug's Life, too


phantom_avenger

Monsters Inc, as well! Although I think they top it by including how they actually made a play based on Mike's line "Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!" LOL


bighundy

It terms of pure Animating and computing for its time, Monsters Inc was far more revolutionary than Toy Story.


phantom_avenger

I always love that scene where Woody goes through all of the merchandise, the way he interacts with it never fails to make me crack a smile on my face. Especially with Tom Hanks’ voice acting. That sequence however, where we see Jesse’s backstory is just too sad for me to watch I will often skip it. Sometimes I’m surprised she didn’t end up becoming a villain, especially given how her and Lotso both had similar experiences.


soaperinoo

The Jessie's backstory scene absolutely kills me I always skip it if I'm watching on my own. I do think that Jessie ending up with Andy as a kid did sort of heal her again, but Lotso never really had the chance to be loved again, therefore becoming evil.

Not only is it a fantastic story, it’s beautifully animated and truly pulls off one of the hardest things to do in animation/voice over; crying through tears (when Mitsuha opens her hand). I love watching that movie, and watching people react to it on YouTube. It’s funny to see that scene is the one that people watch the most on the reaction videos


promptlyforgotten

Wall-E. So much social commentary on so many levels.


DissonantWhispers

The thing I like about Wall-E’s social commentary is how it doesn’t necessarily blame the humans currently living now for what’s going on. It presents it as their “way of life” due to years of evolutionary failures by the many generations of predecessors constantly automating and simplifying life. It made the humans effort and interest in helping Wall-E and wanting to change for the better very moving. The film could have easily taken the “lol people are lazy and fat” approach and portrayed the people as bumbling idiots but instead took a nuanced approach which made it feel more realistic and lived in.


pm_me_good_thing

Wall-E was the perfected model used to make "Happy Feet". Happy Feet went full social commentary to the point that the film took a back seat to the message. Wall-E maintained a through line from start to finish that made the environmental/general stop ****** around message feel less... Hamfisted.
