A
Though Walt Disney has held the majority of the public's interest for going on hundred years,there are countless other animation houses who have produced incredible work that goes underseen.Below,we list four of the best non-Disney animated films that you've likely never experienced,but absolutely must!
Fantastic planet(1973)
This Science Fiction masterwork from Rene Laloix has proven so influential to film and popular culture,but most people aren't even aware of its existence.An imaginative film that comments on human/animal rights and racism,the film was virtually the first to break out into fantastic and serious new horizons.
Flight of dragons(1982)
Based on a book of the same name,Rankin/Bass' Flight of Dragons may not be as well-loved or memorable as their holiday films,but it's beautifully old-fashioned adventure film with a dated sort of charm.With a fantastic voice cast,dialogue and visuals sure to inspire young minds,and an unforgettable title song,Flight of Dragons is a humble—though essential—Rankin/Bass one.
Pom Poko(1994)
Studio Ghibli,the famous Japanese animation house,has produced many artists worth the name.For instance,Isao Takahata,whose remarkably entertaining Pom Poko is not only the most culturally specific but environmentally conscious films the studio has ever produced.
The Triplets of Belleville(2003)
This Academy Award-nominated charmer tells the story of a brave old lady who must rescue her grandson from the mafia.This delightfully old-fashioned plot is told in a delightful old-fashioned way:with limited dialogue,and through song and pantomime.
