Name an animated movie you think is good.
Ghost in the shell: innocence. The animation is awesome, the sound track is widely varied, with some good music, the story is great and the subtitle job is top notch.
I could think of several, but I'll just go with one.
NINJA SCROLL
Very cool anime for adults-- lots of cool mysticism and magic in this one. Wandering samurai is tasked with finding out who poisoned the water of a village and he soon gets over his head in monsters and mystical beings. Plenty of gore and nudity.
Heavy Metal. My friend had a bootleg VHS copy back in the mid-90s and was always watching it. I resisted and finally gave in one day and thought I'd sit through seeing it, and to my delight it was great. John Candy's line in there, "Wow, eighteen years of nothing and now twice in one day!" made me laugh so much I kept repeating it all summer.
I also love The Iron Giant, and many, many other animated movies. In fact I sometimes think I like animation better than ....live action, is it called?
Did you guys know there was talk of Warner Brothers originally making the Harry Potter series animated?
THE SECRET OF NIMH (1982)

This showed ad nauseum on cable tv. Beautiful animation by former Disney employee Don Bluth, who also created the game DRAGON'S LAIR.
The Thief & The Cobbler
Can't post a video clip now, but if you look it up you'll see some of the greatest traditional animation made since the 40's.
the YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968)
It seems dated and silly now, but when I saw it as a 6 year old in the theater, I loved it.

Lol, thanks mate. Why does no one let me trek through mounds of second hand DVD and record shops any more? My mum has just decided to buy me that one off ebay so cheers. :cheers: :cheers:
alice in wonderland
Gandaha...Watched it last night for the first time. blew my mind. its a little bit pseudo intellectual in places. but my god is it a strange and fun watch :)
I'll go with a No-Brainer...Akira
Definitely one of the All-Time great Anime movies...plus it's not by Ghibli - which actually means a lot to me.
