I'm a little torn here because Watership Down is my absolute number 1. I was watching it from before I can remember and it technically has the same rating as Inside Out. Otherwise, in no order: The Illusionist When Marnie Was There Up Aladdin The Secret of NIMH Coraline How to Train Your Dragon Sleeping Beauty Ratatouille Spirited Away Also wanna mention how much I adore The Snowman even though it's a half hour.  There are a few I really need to rewatch, Prince of Egypt being the main one.

Rango Zootopia Wall-E Ratatouille Lilo & Stitch Mulan Spirited Away The King and the Mockingbird Hunchback of Notre Dame Up Just off the top of my head. It's kinda recent and Disney/Pixar-heavy, though. I don't actually like The King and the Mocking THAT much, but it's got really nice animation, and I like the story behind getting it made. Princess Mononoke was way more violent than I remembered, so I put Spirited Away instead.

I was going to make a sweet-rear end "director of The Pagemaster" dig, but it turns out he directed the first Captain America film, which I think is a great movie (for the genre). And loving October Sky. Man, now I only wish I were the director of The Pagemaster.

Yeah, anyone putting Princess Mononoke on a list of family friendly movies should probably watch it again. I personally agree with Spirited Away, but I should mention it scared my nephew shitless - not in an 'I actually enjoy this' manner - she was terrified. And (quite literally) gave another nightmares about his parents turning into pigs. And I didn't even let them watch the faceless scenes. I would probably have been banished from the household if I did. A couple years later they handled it fine though. So the moral is: perhaps wait until their age is in the double digits. Edit: Some small, destructive, part of me wanted to show them Pom Poko, just to see how their parents would react to the abundance of testicle jokes. It's genuinely good. And any movie with a line like (paraphrased) "That mat you're standing on, my children? It's my balls." Deserves to be watched at least once.

Well, I was trying to weed out non-explicitly-didactic entertainment more than anything, where the expectation of an explicit lesson to critique and analyze goes hand-in-hand with "family friendly" entertainment for interesting cultural reasons. Like, most Disney films, such as Zootopia, are expected to have a lesson and absolutely stand to be judged on it in a way most films are not. The lack of theme was a major point of critique for HTTYD2, but no one gives a poo poo if The Avengers 6: Blah Blah Space Badguy has a coherent theme. At least no one involved in the production apparently. Hmm... I'm not quite explaining this right. I was trying to separate out films that are sort of artsy-fartsy, not because I object to artsy or fartsy, but because I think they lack some of the core dimensions that make them comparable to the majority of animated films.

The Pagemaster, along with the Goonies, was one of those movies I had never seen as a child but inexplicably had the activity books/colouring books, so I knew all these characters and details but had no plot or context to really understand what the deal was

Nowhere NEAR enough Coraline love here. Maybe (not in order): Coraline Beauty and the Beast Whisper of the Heart Castle of Cagliostro Toy Story Aladdin Wreck-It Ralph Kiki's Delivery Service Robin Hood Spirited Away Also I hated When Marnie Was There. A massive disappointment. If I never hear someone shout MARNIE!!! again it'll be too soon.

I will always have a soft spot for the Pagemaster because my folks let me skip class in second grade so I could watch it with my best friend, who's parents let her skip class so she could watch it with me.

Actually I sort of like The Pagemaster and own it on DVD. I'm trying to remember if it was Pagemaster or the Black Hole though where I was trying to explain my ownership of said DVD as "it was only four dollars" and his retort was "would you buy AIDS if it were only $4?" I think it was The Black Hole.

The correct solution to no good animated films being in cinema right now is checking out whether anyone close to you is doing an interesting retrospective. If you live in or nearby a large city, there's a good chance something decent is showing right now. For instance, one of the local theatres is presenting Nausicaä tomorrow, and I couldn't be more excited to see it on a big screen.Build-a-Boar posted:I would do a top 10 list but I saw Wizards for the first time the other day and it blew my mind with its terrible, awful weirdness. I can't stop thinking about it. What the hell was it all about? Why did the wizard shoot the other wizard with a luger, why nazis, why elves, what the hell happened I was initially lukewarm on Wizards, but the more I think about it, the more I like it. That finale is just so drat perfect.

There's a film archive cinema in my town that does old animated movies weekly all year, but it's always Thursday daytimes for fucks sake. I work!

God drat it, the Walrus and the Carpenter is in my head now. And honestly, I don't like Wizards save for it's Finale - I just don't like Bakshi's works, I respect him as an influence on animation, but there's just something about it that I just don't like.
