[QUOTE="MusicForThePiano, post: 1382513, member: 16601"] I had a relative who worked in animation back in the 80s, and he used to send my family copies of movies that would come out before there were VHS and eventually DVD copies. I have selectively screened out mainstream animated movies with PC undertones, because even good animation is ruined by bad politics. There is something more moving about an unabashedly unforgiving animated piece. Because all films are fiction, less predictive programming or revealing of a method, animation would complete the suspension of disbelief required to immerse oneself in something fictional. For the children's movies / shows, I recommend these for boys, not sure what I would recommend for a daughter, probably just animated Bible cartoons, and there are a handful of quality of those out there. To really kickstart this thread for those who enjoy animation, here is a list of interesting quality films / series: Anime and Animated Series / Movies for Adults: Berserk 1997 (25 episodes - philosophical, condemns demonology, shows sexual deviants for what they really are, has an interesting take on gaining worldly power at the cost of human lives, something which echoes our "rulers" current place, it also encourages working out like a beast) [MEDIA=youtube]enYu2Zgv0R4[/MEDIA] Cowboy Bebop (26 episodes, 1 film - great artwork, not politically correct, almost noire-like, best soundtrack - good for teens but can still be enjoyed by an adult) [MEDIA=youtube]LnbKF_uosrA[/MEDIA] Blue Gender (26 episodes - amoral sci-fi with a future setting bleaker that our current day clown world, similar to starship troopers, painful to watch the main character start off as a complete omega male but his journey turns him into an uber-alpha, builds up "science" only to tear it down in the end, can be considered anti-human but also a metaphor for a new world) [MEDIA=youtube]q5RMwWxEsbc[/MEDIA] Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (feature film - my only complaint was that it wasn't longer, not intended for the ADHD crowd, dark political thriller, moves slowly with action interspersed) [MEDIA=youtube]u2ji2-_wdUY[/MEDIA] Ninja Scroll (feature film - great story, great action sequences, probably my favorite, really encapsulates feudal Japanese culture and mythology) [MEDIA=youtube]9O6_N4mQBos[/MEDIA] Akira (feature film - a mile marker in animation history, this film has it all, action, conspiracy, cyberpunk, ambience, and dystopia, it has also been talked about at length on this forum, so for those unfamiliar, I'll attach a trailer) [MEDIA=youtube]ooKBenGK3R4:4[/MEDIA] continued...
