Hi. It's one of those Friday nights where I just wanna stay in in my pj's, eat junk food and watch animated films all night (while getting my hw done unfortunately...)!! What's your favorite animated film??

That's cool! Love Snoopy but have yet to see that one. Googling it right now~

If I'm not mistaken, it was last commercially available only on VHS. Crazy, eh? If you scour the internet, though, I'd imagine you could find a homemade conversion to DVD.

I'm really interested in seeing the favorites of orgers outside of North America.

Princess Mononoke (1997)

Ahh another Miyazaki classic! (I don't know why the first picture in my original post isn't showing...but that was Spirited Away =D my all time favorite) Really love this one too. I wasn't too crazy about Ponyo and Totoro but most of the time his works become instantly favorite of mine. His films have these extra layers most Disney films don't have that I get sucked into it too much that I almost get a headache after watching sometimes. Mononoke is one of those. It's so good it actually hurts. lol

Hunchback of Notre Dame I think is really an underrated Disney Film. I suppose because it was too different from the original and too adult to be a kids' film? It's really good though glad you mention this =D

It is dark but I loved it when I saw in theaters at age 11, I was mesmerized. I much prefered it to Little Mermaid/Beauty & The Beast/Aladdin/Lion King.

I would also like to add that anyone who thinks Snow White is boring is a moron and an enemy of mine.

Mask of the Phantasm

My son is currently obsessed with The Plague Dogs. Weird movie for an 8 year old to be fascinated by.

omg I remember that movie :-O

Allegro Non Troppo

It's an Italian answer to Fantasia, with famous bits of classical music aniumated into stories. Parts of it are almost a parody of Fantasia. The orchestra is entirely made up of old ladies, the conductor keeps fighting with the animator... I wandered into a theater not knowing what I was in for, when I was maybe 12 years old, and ended up staying to watch it three times.

The DVD includes a bunch of the creator (Bruno Bozetto)'s other cartoon shorts. One of my favorite DVDs.

This reminds me of another childhood favorite of mine, billed as Japan's answer to Fantasia. It was originally called Hoshi no Orufeusu , or "Orpheus of the Stars," a dialogue-free retelling of five Roman myths. Its 1978 U.S. release as Metamorphoses bombed, and it was re-released a year later as The Winds of Change with a disco-influenced soundtrack and English narration by Peter Ustinov. Interesting stuff.

Do you mean as a child or now?

I'm all cartooned out from my 3yo grandson... If they make one more Land Before Time I'm going to hang myself. But I still these two. I will watch them over and over.

And...

This isn't animated but it was one of MY children's faves and now it's one of my grandson's faves. We sing the song all the time.
