Why the hell aren't you posting in this thread?

We're centralizing all of this under one topic, including western and Japanese animation. Discuss the classics, recommend niche/obscure stuff and speculate about upcoming blockbusters like Pixars Dinosaur Film and Wreck-It Ralph. Short films are cool too.

The latest animated film I've seen is The Illusionist:


I like the art style but the film itself is definitely not for everyone. It has little to no dialogue and the story itself is very slow-paced.

If you're a film or animation fan, I'd definitely recommend it.

Also, Kin, how would you rank The Illusionist compared to other films you seen? Like, did you love it the whole way through or did it not live up to expectations?
It's been sitting on my "watch this eventually" list.

This airline is for fans of animated films.

I had seen the Triplets of Belleville (Sylvain Chomet) so I kind of knew what I was getting into.

It's definitely a "Slice of life" kind of film. The main focus of the movie is on the dynamic between the two main characters. I don't regret watching it but at the same time I don't feel like ever watching it again. It just sort of met my expectations.

Has anyone seen The Secret World of Arrietty yet? Looks interesting, and it's Ghibli. I hope to when it's out on DVD.

My friends and I plan to go see it Sunday. Looks beautiful.

Not looking forward to the next Ghibli film, From Up on Poppy Hill, though.

I saw it yesterday. I highly enjoyed it. The American voice actors weren't the best but they weren't horrible either. The animation was top notch as always, and the story is nothing new but it's done very well.

I haven't really looked at From Up on Poppy Hill much. I want to see it in theaters but no friends care to go.

It looks beautiful, animation looks great, soundtrack seems like it will be good, based on a book, sounds like it will be great

I'm seeing Arrietty tomorrow as well.
