Great Animated Movies That Aren't For (Or Aren't Necessarily For) Kids

I am stoked for "The Illusionist," it is coming to the theater here in a few weeks:

Thanks for recommending this!

Oh, that Debussy clip is amazing too. I added Allegro non Troppo to my Ziplist.

(I'm also fond of Alice and Fantastic Planet. Loving this thread.)

OMG Allegro Non Troppo! I saw that in the cinema in the early 90s and loved it. Such sad parts!

I just watched Mia and the Migoo and I am pretty sure it is FOR kids. I say this because it was just painfully didactic with the most and worst explainy dialogue! But it looked really good. Maybe one to turn the sound off & light a J at home.

Probably the best thing about it was the colors + the nice impressionistic backdrops – hard to find pics that show that tho

I saw a dubbed version & I would like to think maybe the translation is what made the dialogue so unbearably bad – but I doubt it!

One of the claymation pieces I love from the Tournee of Animation I mentioned upthread is up. Csaba Varga, Luncheon:
