M$''The Nightmare Before Christmas''
Possibly the greatest use of stop-motion animation ever. And it's not just beautifully executed from a technical standpoint; it's also a really charming story with some terrific musical numbers from Danny Elfman.

''Yellow Submarine''
The Beatles had wanted very little to do with this film while it was being made, but then recognized its genius upon seeing the completed animation and filmed some segments to go along with it. This movie is TRIPPY and intense and funny all at once - it really opened my eyes as a kid to the possibilities of animation beyond just cute animal stories and fairy tales.

''The Jungle Book''
I'm very partial to this film out of the entire Disney canon. Great songs (particularly "I Wanna Be Like You," which couldn't really be catchier), a bunch of likable characters and it's actually pretty funny. (Trivia: This was the last film produced by Walt Disney. He died while the film was in production).

Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Nausicaa', etc.
Oshii's "Ghost in the Shell" films
Satoshi Kon's "Millennium Actress", "Tokyo Godfathers" and "Paprika"

Had definitely considered including ''Ghost in the Shell'' or ''Nausicaa''. Both obvious classics. Also ''Ninja Scroll''. ''Paprika'' was certainly inventive, but didn't really hold my attention. Then again, you've always been more of a Satoshi Kon fan than me.
I do prefer "Actress" and "Godfathers" for Kon. "Paprika" has a really cool trailer though, so I posted that one

Best animated films ever?
The first four Disney pictures (Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi), their "second golden age" pictures (Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast), The Iron Giant, ALL the Pixar films (yes, including CARS), Bakshi's Heavy Traffic and Coonskin and maybe Fritz the Cat and American Pop, The Simpsons Movie (underrated, folks), most of Miyazaki's work (especially TOTORO and PONYO), Waking Life, The Triplets of Belleville, Persepolis... and while I'm not the biggest Nightmare Before Xmas fan, it can't be denied (as long as we accept that Corpse Bride is pretty damned underrated)

So many people have picked great films, and I think we can agree that the Disney and Pixar films are finely wrought films, and that the work of Hiyao Miyazuki, Tim Burton, and Mamoru Oshii are not to be missed.
To the general list of animated films to watch, I would add the films of entire Warner Bros. line-up (with a nod to Chuck Jones), UPA artists ("Gerald McBoing Boing") Ralph Bakshi ("Fritz the Cat"), Nick Park ("Wallace & Gromit"), Jan Svankmeyer ("Faust"), and Norman McLaren ("Pas De Deux," "Boogie Doodle"). I’d also watch the upcoming films of Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, recently of "How to Train Your Dragon."
But, enough stalling. If I had to pick one film…..Naw, I’m going to choose two because I’m not good at following rules – one animated short (approx. 7 minutes) and a full-length feature. The former is really an inside joke about how animation constructs reality and identifies many of the elements that go into filmmaking. Similarly, the second really speaks to me about how animation can re-represent reality and does so with one of my favorite genres, speculative fiction.
“Duck Amuck” (1953, Chuck Jones and Warner Bros.)
What happens when Daffy Duck and an unseen animator have creative differences?This short takes us through the surreal, humorous and and insightful possibilities.
A Scanner Darkly" (2006, Richard Linklater)
"A Scanner Darkly" is based on Linklater’s screenplay of Philip Dick’s novel. It’s a story exploring the shifting identities and realities of a dystopian world set in the near future, one in which everyone is under constant surveillance and a drug culture is prevalent. Some people take the position the film doesn’t count as animation because the filmmaking process involved shooting digitally and then animating with a rotoscoping process. But since "A Scanner Darkly" was nominated for a Best Animated Feature Oscar, and the Fleischer Bros. used rotoscoping for their films (including Betty Boop cartoons), I count it. Oh, that, and the fact I like the film!You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars.
