The 2. 5 Best Animated Films Of The 2. Century So Far. Surprisingly, of all the many, many names we were called over our ranking of The 5. Best Films Of The Decade So Far, anti animation, hegemonic live action crypto fascists wasnt one, despite the fact we didnt feature any animated movies on that list. We were a touch disappointed, to be honest, as we had a snappy comeback at the ready we were already in the planning stages of an all animation feature, so we felt justified in separating the live action picks from their hand drawn, computer generated, stop motion and claymation brethren. So here is that list the time frame is extended this time to include any animated film in any style bar rotoscoping, which we excluded because of its reliance on live action filming first from 2. The last fifteen years have seen the animation industry undergo huge upheavals, from the titanic union of old school giant Disney with beloved game changer Pixar, to the rise to international and Oscar winning glory of the extraordinary Studio Ghibli and its imminent dissolution, to the massive leap in quality made by the likes of Dream.

All these factors combine to provide a mainstream and arthouse filmmaking landscape thats friendlier toward a more diverse range of animation styles and subjects than ever before. The sheer breadth of choice we have, and the extremely subjective nature of the beast one viewers pretty is another viewers twee means that were fully confident that this ranking will inspire its fair share of rageaccusations of bias as well. But like many of the films listed below have taught us, were going to be brave, follow our dreams and find inner reserves of strength and goodness to face whatever life and the commenters throw at us, as we take you on this trip through our 2. And if you want more of the best films since 2. Lilo Stitch 2. The late 9. Disney animation that pre Frozen era paid almost nothing off at the box office, in large part because films like Brother Bear and Home On The Range were extremely poor. But the major shining light along with The Emperors New Groove, which is admirably Chuck Jones esque was Lilo Stitch. Its a riff on E. T. Chris Sanders and Dean De. Blois whod go on to make How To Train Your Dragon make it sing through specificity the delirious mischief of the adorably psychotic Stitch, the gorgeously realized Hawaiian setting, and the surprising pathos of Lilo and her older sister, who are being investigated by social services. It perhaps doesnt stand with the early 9. Disney, but its a wonderfully weird and enormously satisfying film. Winnie the Pooh 2. Every generation feels a sense that the children of today are missing out on some vital part of childhood due to the technological advancements of modern life right back to the first Neolithic Dad who shook his head sadly at his sons use of those new fangled bronze tools. But Disneys hand animated Winnie the Pooh from directors Don Hall and Stephen J Anderson evokes simpler times with charm and wit and even gasp suggests the pleasures of reading, with the characters interacting with text on the page in a continually inventive way. Its admittedly for very young children, and some adults who grew up with previous Disney Pooh films were apparently disappointed that this wasnt quite as, well, Disneyfied. But this is a short, calm, gently screwy homage to one of the sweetest and best loved childrens characters of all time that respects Poohs original source material AA Milnes wonderful books. Rango 2. 01. 1Even when the original Pirates of the Caribbean movies werent working, they were still admirably weird. Animation Aardman Animations www. The official site of the studio that created Wallace, the hapless yet wellmeaning, cheeseloving inventor. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit Free Streaming' title='Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit Free Streaming' />So its unsurprising in retrospect than when director Gore Verbinski and star Johnny Depp reteamed for an animated picture, they produced one of the odder animated movies ever made by a studio. Melding Chinatown with any one of a number of classic Westerns, but with animals and a slightly deranged high on peyote vibe, it sees Depps Hunter Thompson ish chameleon become mistaken for a hero by a town suffering from drought. Rehearsed with the actors in costume an absolute rarity in the animation world before being brought to stunning life by Industrial Light Magic, the VFX companys sole animated feature to date, its a reminder of the oddball vision that Verbinski could bring without blockbuster bloat, and while it barely even qualifies as a kids movie, it still proves an enormously entertaining trip. A Town Called Panic 2. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit Free Streaming' title='Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit Free Streaming' />Based on a gently surreal French language TV show and bearing the distinction of being the first stop motion animation ever to be shown in Cannes, A Town Called Panic from Belgians Stphane Aubier and Vincent Patar is the absurd story of Cowboy a plastic toy cowboy, Indian a plastic toy Indian and Horse a plastic toy you get the idea who live together in a house in the country and get into inexplicable scrapes. An attempt to celebrate Horses birthday goes awry when an internet order for 5. But its also invested with a totally lunatic energy thats less about grand narrative arcs than the momentary interactions and weirdnesses that cram every single bonkers scene. Millennium Actress 2. Though he directed only four complete features and sadly passed away in 2. Satoshi Kon established himself as one of animes most important and original filmmakers. Sci Fi Movies Dvd The Inhumans on this page. We could have easily and nearly did include Tokyo Godfathers or Paprika the latter said by many to have inspired Christopher Nolans Inception, but wed say that his masterpiece was his second feature, 2. Millennium Actress. Far more mature than most animated features, whether Japanese or American, this film has a fascinating concept, as an elderly retired movie star brings a documentary crew through her memories, switching genres and form as she tells her story through her cinematic roles. Fans of clear cut narrative are likely to be left disappointed, but theres a fascinating and rich puzzle box to untangle, grappling successfully with Kons favorite themes of the nature of reality and the power of art.

Surprisingly, of all the many, many names we were called over our ranking of The 50 Best Films Of The Decade So Far, antianimation, hegemonic liveaction crypto. Monster House 2. Easily the best of Robert Zemeckis performance capture films, partly due to only being creepy when its trying to be and partly by not being directed by Zemeckis Gil Kenan had the gig instead, Monster House is the rare film to pull off both Burtonesque and Amblin esque in a successful manner, and does so with a heap of heart and scares in the process. Co written by Community creator Dan Harmon and his friend Rob Schrab, its the tale of three adventurous pre teens investigating a spooky local home. Working where The Polar Express didnt by stylizing the characters further, it makes its young protagonists believably and likably childlike in a way that few films bother with, leading to both great gags Its the uvula  So its a girl house and pathos more effective than most. There are better looking films here, but few that are as much fun. How To Train Your Dragon 2. Its films vary in quality from the nearly great Kung Fu Panda, the original Shrek to the surprisingly entertaining Madagascar 3 no, seriously to the essentially worthless later Shrek sequels, Shark Tale, but whatever the turnout, Dream. Works Animation has almost always been seen as second fiddle to Pixar. The exception being How To Train Your Dragon, a thrilling adventure tale that combines a boy and his dog, E.
