Top 10 Animated Films of All Time - A CineFix Movie List

[@dessfred]

Welcome to Cinefix's top 10 where all 10 are #1 and if a film got a mention or a clip, you should be happy.

[@trevhoffmann]

They mention some great movies I've never heard of. Probably one of the best channels that do this

[@kaboulscabal4816]

This. So much this. There were times where there was a movie I was thinking of for the spot would show up early and I'd get momentarily mad and think, "BUT, MY MOVIE HAS FOUR KINGS!" and then they'd get to their pick and I'd nod my head and go, "All right, four Aces beats four Kings".

See this, like all their other videos, is why Cinefix are the kings of Top 10 list. They don't just give an arbitrary 10 ten items based on opinion; they give a thoughtful essay of the strength and weaknesses of the subject matter, splitting each entry into their own category and listing the best of the best in each; each numbered spot surrounded by tons of honorable mentions so you not only get an idea, through example, of what this category entails, but why the numbered movie is the epitome of the class; where the ranking means just about nothing, but provides powerful context, which creates the feeling that the #10 movie is just as important and impactful as #1 or any inbetween.

To repeat my comment, I wish it would be a mention in this category. That is my opinion. Treasure Planet did a lot of groundbreaking things with their animation and created an amazing atmosphere in the movie (an aspect that they specifically referenced in the video for an example of great visual story telling in animation)., and I feel like that is not appreciated enough. When it comes to the sci-fi category, I absolutely agree that Akira should be the favorite, but (to repeat my comment again because you didn't read it correctly) I wish Treasure Planet got a mention when discussing sci-fi animation movies.

I remember watching Rango in the theater. I had a smile on my face the entire time. The way they filmed Rango was emotion capture. The actors were in costume on a stage performing together and the animators would use film of their performance for reference. Sometimes matching up motion in the video to the 3D characters skeleton in almost a rotoscoping fashion. Industrial Light & Magic exceeded standard motion capture, to make this one feel like a stage performance inside a 3D animated movie.

Truly a great film. With a focus on bullying that films, and society in general, tend to ignore and how its victims, and perpetrators can suffer. This alone doesnt make it a great film but the gorgeous and painstaking subtle animation and detail provided by Kyoto Animation. Sadly, on July 19, 2019, an attack was made on one of the studios building killing ultimately 37 people and injuring 36 more- the greatest lose of life in Japan, barring natural disasters, since WW2. Many of those who worked on a Silent Voice are no longer with us. I would like to see Cinefix, and others in general, to address what is possibly the worst attack on a movie studio in history.

@@jasondoe2596 True, but I do understand the decision-making there. Spiderverse is a standalone story while The End of Evangelion is essentially 2 extended finale episodes to a tv series bundled together in one film. You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger Evangelion fan than me but I still understand why CineFix would want to leave it out. I'm just happy it got mentioned at all. Though, it's interesting that it was mentioned in the action category - certainly fitting for the first half (episode 25') but I feel like End of Evangelion is remembered more for its second half (episode 26') which is closer to the genre-defying mind-bender they describe in the no. 1 spot. With that being said, I personally think The End of Evangelion is not just one of the best animated films ever made but one of the best films ever period. It's certainly my all time favorite. Beyond serving as a satisfying conclusion to an already fantastic television series, it's also just a mind-expanding piece of filmmaking that truly opened my eyes to the possibilities of the medium.

Needless to say, just getting an honorable mention was enough to make me smile. That said, I'm so glad you've done an animated movies list.

[@FilmandTVFan]

Although The Lion King is highly regarded as Disney’s best animated film, Fantasia is more innovative and experimental, not only visually through it’s animation, but with it’s technical aspects, combining classical music with classic animation to tell it’s stories in a way cinema had never achieved before. Revolutionary, outstanding and Disney’s greatest accomplishment, in my opinion.

[@vincenzobarry8050]

Couldn’t agree more. The fact that the movie still holds up speaks volumes for its technical brilliance, but the fact that it’s still an amazingly absorbing film to watch shows how good of a movie it truly is

The dinosaur sequence in Fantasia is still my idea of what the dinosaur world was like. Excepting the original Jurassic Park, it’s the most dynamic depiction of dinosaurs ever done.

The Lion King is literally one of the worst films Disney has ever produced. Every aspect of it is mediocre at best. Still can't believe how many people keep being fooled by the polish of that film.

[@tasantana1174]

I believe Fantasia as stated was wildly ahead of its time and not appreciated for the masterpiece that it is until later. It defined animation for that time and was the benchmark and still to a point is in regard to 2D animation. It inspired lots of artist including myself to create and not only to create but to not be afraid of being different. To push boundaries even if they are uncomfortable.

Glad to heard some less known, yet amazing works mentioned like Angel's Egg, Son of the White Mare or The Wolf House mentioned. Some works I feel it lacked were the surreal masterpiece that is Belladonna of Sadness or any of the stop-motion works of Jan Svankmajer who's been a huge influence on people like Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton and the Brothers Quay. His adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is his best imo. Another great one is the newest film by the director of Son of the White Mare - Tragedy of Man. An adaptation of a classic hungarian play. It tells the story of Adam and Satan travelling through different parts of human history and each period is animated in the style of that meriod. Egyptian types are stylized after hieroglyphs and murals, the greek period after their ceramics etc.

[@reallygoodname]

I left pretty satisfied the moment they mentioned The Wolf House and It's Such a Beautiful Day. But as they mentioned at the beggining of the video, it doesn't seem that animation is their forté, and I can't blame them, because even between hardcore film lovers, arthouse independent animation is treated like a whole different art form outside of film. Some of the names that (In my opinion) they should have mentioned: Yuri Norstein, Aleksandr Petrov, Co Hoedeman, Piotr Kamler, Masaaki Yuasa, Priit Parn, Bill Plympton, Len Lye, Oscar Fishinger, the all star cast of directors that participated in Winter Days (2003), etc. And there are probably hundreds of many well deserving artists that I either can't recall or that I'm not aware of at the moment. It's actually insane the amount of incredible content that it exists in the world of animation.

[@Pacal_II]

@@reallygoodname I'll be honest, a few of the ones you mentioned I haven't heard about so I'll have some stuff to check out.

[@TheMikenanners]

@@marcsoren7 here’s my review and feel free to tell me what you think: “The positives? I admired the core sentiments, and it’s heart generally being in the right place. There are also admittedly, in usual Don Hertzfeldt fashion, creatively simplistic, erratic uses of visuals and sound to convey information effectively, even if, when paired with this movie’s central thematic concerns, it did so in ways that made most of the onslaught of monotone narration feel exhausting and superfluous. It’s clear to me that there’s a short film in here somewhere with a lot more poignancy and charm, and a lot more to actually meaningfully express about anything. Imaginative yes, but an imaginatively insufferable mishmash of arbitrary concepts that feels like a total surface level construction, an empty manipulation in which all the effort has been spent trying to stuff as much that appears as complex or weighty as possible into a single hour. You might counter with “life is random and hard to get a hold of too bruh, that’s why it’s so deep!”, but this presentation style feels entirely like a crutch for what is nothing more than someone’s self serious attempt at making a work of genius, when what’s in their head and what they’re chasing is some generic idea of what art is, rather than it being an earnest expression of what they actually feel. Another thing that felt like a crutch was the use of classical music, and notably pieces that have been used to much greater effect and far more appropriately by Terrence Malick, who isn’t solely relying on the music as a means of appearing deep or eliciting emotion as this does. If you want something animated artistically that says far more about the human condition and additionally doing so in an intelligent, subtextual and unpretentious way, then I highly recommend the works of Satoshi Kon, or films like The Red Turtle or My Life as a Zucchini over this seemingly laborious lecture of sad, simplistic, superficial stick people.”

@@gab_gallard I also love that Japanese cinema layer of it as you do, but as a movie about life, memory, nostalgia and coping with mortality I still think it hits harder on a universal level, especially if average the viewer is willing to empathise with the cultural elements they have no frame of reference for. I would’ve been less bothered if it’s such a beautiful day was placed in some other category of ‘minimalist animation’ or something, because while my opinon of it might improve in the future I don’t think it is anywhere near Kon’s work, while it certainly presents and seems to think of itself as the most profound work of genius of all time.
