Find that few people recommend European animated films. The following films are from Europe.
"Ait Bear and the Senna Rat"
Warm healing
A warm movie mixed with satire and absurdity.
The Story of the Night
A very allegorical movie, the geometry and solid color combination in it are really amazing
The Secret of the Book of Kells
It is also philosophical, the picture is soothing and smooth, and the imagination is very good.
After watching this movie, I have to mention another part of the director:
The soundtrack is a fairy tale movie full of innocence and love.
Guardians of the Moon
A fun setting, a lovely adventure.
Monsters in Paris
The music inside is worth the single loop
Mechanical Heart
A Gothic love animated tragedy film with clever metaphors.
Suicide Shop
Although the title of the movie is very depressing, it is actually a healing film, when a laughing little angel is born in a specialty store that sells suicide items.
"The Long North Wayfinding"
There are no obvious lines, all relying on the contrast of color blocks, a very inspirational story.
The Cottage of Criti's Fairy Tales
The story style is super cute, full of childlike fantasies, one day, the character in your book really appeared, what to do? This one is the most suitable for young children to watch, no need to think, no heavy topics.
I will continue to add good European animated films, and there are also good recommendations in the reviews.
The Old Man Z (1991)
The production level is average, but the deep criticism of social issues is lacking in other films.
5 cm per second (2007)
It's so hard to let the dog grass - you cry.
Second Five is far from the other works in the recommendation, but as an individual animation, its level is the pinnacle and has a great impact on the history of animation.
The Girl Who Traveled Through Time (2006)
Youth is not waiting, and brave people deserve to enjoy youth.
Wolf's Child Rain and Snow (2012)
The works that established hosoda's status as a master, the pinnacle of the theme of family affection. Hosoda Mori can be regarded as half of Miyazaki's successor.
"Hearing the Waves" (1995)
Japan's best youth animation, sincere, impulsive, unpretentious. Although it is also produced by Ghibli, it does not see the craftsmanship that Ghibli animation often has.
Fuxing Kid Theater Edition 2 (1984)
Released in 1984, this work is still Japan's most avant-garde animated film, and even the old theatrical version of EVA can't match it in terms of pretending.
Because Oshii Mori made a funny animation into a postmodern art film, he became a thorn in the side of Rumiko Takahashi's fans, and also won the title of "original shredder".
Mobile Cop Theater Edition 2 (1993)
The film for advanced animation fans, although under the brand of mobile police, is already a completely different story.
War and peace, fiction and reality, democracy and despotism, have never been discussed in such depth in an anime.
The Man Wolf (1999)
One of the darkest of Japanese anime.
The old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into wolves. The people of the Golden Age used wolf nature as a pretext to eat human nature to the ground.
Aerial Killer (2008)
A god film that is actually extremely boring under the brand of commercial animation.
The touchstone for top animation fans is either to sleep from beginning to end or to tears after watching it.
"Air Killer" - medicine for Japanese society - a history of games that has never happened - Zhihu column
Wang Li Cosmic Army (1987)
If I had to recommend the best animated film in Japan, it would be this one. The film has an atmosphere that no other Japanese anime has. And the discussion of the topic of dreams is unparalleled in Japanese animation.
The plot of the movie revolves around the first astronaut of mankind, at the end of the film, the rocket takes off, the earth trembles, and the soldiers of the United States and the Soviet Union on the battlefield look at the sky in a daze, temporarily forgetting the country, nation, religion, and class, and the history of mankind is fixed at this moment.
The film's investment was staggering, the production lineup was terrifying, and now the masters of the Japanese animation industry were working on the film at that time.
Some people say that these are art animations, sorry this is not, if it is art animation I recommend "Cat Soup", "Angel's Egg", make sure you find the feeling of watching Fellini and Bergman.
