Animated Movies

My favorites are the Pixar films. Finding Nemo, Cars, Incredibles, Monsters Inc, and A bug's life, and hopefully UP. My son likes them too. Another two are "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly", not kids movies, but very good, as are all of Richard Linklater's films.

A Scanner Darkly isn't truly animation, it is actually filmed and computer altered to appear that way, as can be seen by the occasional transition to real film shots.

DEFINITELY not a kids film! Philips K. Dick doesn't write kids stories!

so far, everything mentioned looks to be computer animation or rotoscope(a scanner darkly). that said, there are many hundreds of great animated classics which have been painstakingly restored for DVD. if you have kids, just buy the one's they like, and be done. otherwise, buy the one's you like.....recommendation 'the fantastic planet'.

Jaybo - good call. I remember seeing Fantastic Planet when it first came out. My recomendation was neither computer nor rotoscope, BTW. Another great one is any of the Wallace & Grommet films. Also, anything by The Brothers Quay.

Jax2...i love the brothers quay....add 'fritz the cat' too..just for a reference of 'pushing the envelope'.
