Description
Well? Since your humble servant again doesn't know what to do in his office, he decided to make this meme dedicated, with the difference is... it is dedicated to animated films. It was surprisingly easy because there is not so much of good cartoons and animated films (especially made in Hollywood). I found it very easy to make the list. However, despite the ease of picking up the movies for the list it was hard to distribute those very movies on the pleases where they need to be. Therefore, I decided to first agree with myself, to come to a mutual agreement, and only after that to make the top.

And so, after three months of debates with myself, I present to you this meme, which I did ... Ugh ... edited using photoshop for fifteen minutes. Yes, I'm a good boy.

You're an asshole!

F..ck off, Sonic! You shouldn't even be here! This meme is for good animation movies! You have no any of the cult animated film, which can be considered good by all points, so f..ck you!

No, f..ck ... Gah! I'm sick of this shit! I'd better go and save the world of a couple or three times than talking with such a piece of mediocrity, like you!

Yes, get out, you anthropomorphic hedgehog mutant! Go on, you pussy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, I seem distracted. Okay, let's continue.

Number 10.

"Rise of the Guardians"

In my opinion, this is one of the few modern animated films that you can watch without a palm on your face. Lovely two-hour (one hundred-minute?) 'tape' has identified itself a kind of analogue of "The Avengers," but only in the world ... uh ... What? Nevermind.

In general, given the immense popularity on the Internet, to retell the story would be very stupid act on my part. So I say just a couple of words about my impressions. It was Awesome. Excellent and smooth animation, cool action and good humor. I particularly like the scene where the whole team helps Tooth Fairy to collect the teeth. Oh, hell, this scene was endlessly hilarious. The film, while flying from one corner to another, knows when to stop and give a viewer a break, and knows when to restart the action. The plot never sags and does not have moments in which you want to sleep. Curiously, the story is based on the children's book, but it managed to become instructive for both children and adults. And I have to say that seeing this film at 24 and get pleasure from what I saw, it means a lot to me. I mean, you know. Work, family, personal life ... Oh, how I hate myself! Okay, let's continue.

Nice and really cool characters, each of which in its place. Jack Frost, Nicholas St. North, A. Easter Bunnymud (aka Easter Bunny. My God, it's probably my favorite character in the movie), Tooth Fairy, and Sandman (Hey Mister Sandman ... Ta-ta-ta-taaaa-taaaa-taaaa-taaaaaaaaa. PS. guys, if you can hear it, say please what is this song, where there are such words. PLEASE!). All these characters are impossibly cheerful, fervent optimists who are able to see good things everywhere. It happens not so often when you really enjoy the acting, and the presence of absolutely all of the characters, not just the main character. Each of them is unique, pleasing to the viewer, with interesting histories, with interesting traits. And not annoying! It is the most important. None of these characters are annoying. They got just as much as they need, and that was enough. Thanks to the creators for their understanding.

Plot holes are there too, but they are more concerned with chronology and appalling historical events that occurred in the history of our planet. Yes, it also feeds the little sadness. In general, I couldn't resist. I endlessly like this movie, even though the fact that there is a weak villain. However, even it was able to show us a great reference to the cult film "Ghost" with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in the lead roles. I hope that you also have noticed it, my friends.

And yet, on the villain, I say a few words. Pitch Black is the weakest part of the film. His motives and actions are understandable and explainable. And with nature is all fine. But the fact that they decided to make history in the three hundred years leaves a lot of questions. And I think you understand what I'm saying if you watched the movie. I will not be disposed of in the details, and just tell you to see it yourself to understand everything.

Number 9.

"The Fox and the Hound"

The history of friendship between the fox Todd and puppy Copper was once my favorite animated film. I do not even remember when it was, but it was long ago and not true. Heh-heh-heh. Now, this is a nostalgic feeling and any warm feelings for this film I never left. Alas. It is very quickly getting bored and become a burden in your heart. You just can not admit that this film is all-just simply copy-paste with Bambi and other films about animals, where the main character loses their relatives.

Why this film in my top? To be honest, this is only a sense of nostalgia that I feel for it. But if truth be told, many things that I liked when I saw this movie for the first time, and that shocked me and create interesting, but now these things raise way too many questions and makes me frustrating. Yes, here it is the individual's growing problem that elementary forget that he was a child, and begins to turn into a cynic.

And this movie in this top just for the fact that he showed such's transformation of one of the characters. After a long and close friendship between the main characters, Copper turns into a cynic who is concerned about his own existence and his own work and forget about what was once a child too, and created foolishness. He forgot who he was and just began to do what someone else ordered to him. The emergence of a great sense of his own greatness and shit, what happened to us here and there, only confirms my suspicions.Guys. Never forget who you are and make sure not to lose yourself and stay who you are. Do not let what happened with Copper and Todd.

So, anyway, this movie anyway leaves me a warm feeling of nostalgia. I loved this movie when I was a kid and I still do not mind to see it. But, it has a completely different angle. Alas.

PS And yet, five years ago, I read a book that was the basis of the movie. And I want to say that the idea to turn violent, bloody, cynical and pessimistic drama to a kind and cute children's movie about friendship and love, it's a stupid idea. You could come up with something your original instead of corrupting the author's intention.

Number 8.

"Spirited Away"

Or, as the film is called in the original, "Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away"

A masterpiece of animation genius Hayao Miyazaki. One of the most commercially successful of Japanese animated films in history. Academy Award for "Best Animated Film". Yes, it was in those years when the animation is still considered as art and cartoons in addition to the entertainment component were strong meaning and tried to tell the viewer clever ideas unpretentiously. Bold, inventive and innovative painting with fantastically large-scale, realistic performance. Colossal landscape, a great atmosphere, the lack of annoying characters that were absolutely typical for the animation of those times. The complete absence of anything superfluous. All clear and to the point. Perhaps the only modern movie that you want to rewatch again and again and again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 7

"Fantasia"

This masterpiece of animation, created back in the days when the "Walt Disney Company" was a small office, which worked for art's sake, and not for the sake of greed. When Walt Disney was alive and well, and clearly saw to what his subordinates were doing. This film does not have anything extra. Only incredibly beautiful and thoughtful musical almanac. Each frame of the film is hypnotic and sends you into a wonderland, as symphony orchestra start playing. 2D animation is made at the highest level, which is not able to overcome by any film so far.

In this film, there are no words, no dialogue, no stupid jokes, no children's cliché, no annoying moments. There are no stupid and annoying pop songs. Only a fantastic combination of great music and great animation that will never leave you indifferent. This is one of the five classic Disney movies that everyone worth rewatching. Especially I advise you to watch the episode "Night on Bald Mountain". This masterpiece and perhaps the vertex of animation art, set to the music of the outstanding composer Modest Mussorgsky.

Today, it is one of two Disney films, which still make me shiver.

Objectively, this is the most outstanding animated film "Walt Disney Pictures" ever produced and one of the best animated films in history. Here Maestro has invested the greatest Number of money and efforts. He was trying to give the audience a beautiful and epic. He tried to surprise and impress not only with his skills of animation but also with his music taste. I hope that this film is still popular in America as it is popular in Europe and I hope that there are still has people who appreciate High art, as well as I do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 6

"How to Train Your Dragon"

In the year of the release of this movie (2010), I did not go to the cinema for the simple reason that I then began to boycott it. Alas, I frankly missed two true masterpieces of modern cinema, for which I am very much regretted afterward. First, a phenomenal film "Inception" by Christopher Nolan, and Dreamworks' masterpiece "How to Train Your Dragon". Regarding Chris, I said in my meme "Top 10 favorite movies", and so it happened that the "How to Train Your Dragon" is also the sixth place in the hit parade (Hit Parade? LOL). No, it's not done on purpose, it was an accident.

And so, about the film. This cartoon is almost perfect. He has almost no weaknesses possessed by the previous Dreamworks films. Here we have almost precisely built a story, with a clear motivation for the characters, they followed great development, elegant animations (perhaps this film had the best 3D animation in 2010), which is not in a hurry, without jerks in convulsions and shows exactly what needs to show. Stunning visuals. 3D animation looks impressive and exciting even after six years since the release of the film, and it can be admired even from a computer or television screen. However, only if the animation is the main point of success of this film? The answer is - no. In addition to excellent animation, the picture quality has and kick-ass story, which the film a little way to compare (Of those that have been issued at the time of 2010. In America.). The film is obtained not to sag not make the viewer get bored.

And, of course, the characters. They're just beautiful. To be honest, it is possible that this is the best cast in the animated film along with "Rise of the Guardians", which will be released two years later (2012). I must tell you one thing, you probably realize. The main character Hiccup, despite the fact that he was a geek, and Hickey is not annoying. He really purposeful, ambitious and very charismatic guy that you're not ashamed to empathize, and who is really worth to admire. He never whines, never cries that nobody likes him, and really doing everything in his power to become someone. Damn, I am really like this character. Perhaps this is my favorite character in the animated films. And his dragon named Toothless is generally something with something. He was so cool, cute and such a faithful animal, that I could not help but smile every time he is in the frame. Watching his scenes, it's a real pleasure for your eyes and your heart. With regard to in order to describe the rest of the characters, I need to write a whole article. But I will not do it, because it will take forever.

Great movie, great animation, great action, great story, great characters, great everything. At the time of its release, it was truly one of the best animated films and is still one of the best in the twenty-first century.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 5

"The Secret of HIMH"

Debut solo film of outstanding animation director Don Bluth. For those who are sitting in the tank, I would say that Don Bluth, this is the man who created such masterpieces as "An American Tail", "The Land Before Time" and "All Dogs Go to Heaven", and rather controversial, but for the well acceptable "Anastasia". Although the film contains thousands of historical inaccuracies, I like it though, because it has excellent animation and an interesting story.

Anyway. Returning to the "Secret of NIMH". Released in 1982, it became one of the first films released NOT by Disney but still was very successful. Not in terms of cash, but critics have praised this film as one of the best ever produced. And for good reason.

If we consider the fact that in those days, Disney had a strict monopoly on the production of animated films, and it is no secret that in the 70th and the first half of the 80s, cartoons from Disney had the quality of the very questionable film. Hundreds of repetitions, copy-paste on their own earlier works and subsequently almost all Disney movies of the '70s and' 80s era were forgotten for one simple reason that they were the assembly-line production. And let's be honest, that the characters in Disney 70th works were shit! They were blank, empty and absolutely uninteresting. They just stuffed into a movie, knowing that the fans will eat absolutely any crap that they will present on a beautiful dish.

On their background, "The Secret of NIMH" was the real discovery. A better animation, better and in-depth storyline, well and is finite as a dark and mysterious setting that was inherent to anyone else, but not Disney. The film has excellent, not sagging plot, the excellent characters who really talks like a real-life human being (despite being a mouse), and not like a dummy who says the pre-prepared text before the microphone. Beautiful 2D animation, which looks impressive even now, after 34 years (2016) since its release. The main character of the film, Mrs. Brisby, is a brave and good-natured mouse, ready to stop her own mouse nature and to do anything in order to complete the task. And an entire galaxy of theories about this fucking red gems that Mrs. Brisby owns.

This animated film, by and large, was the first successful project, which has managed to circumvent the Disney monopoly. And the first challenge to the company, who felt that it was losing its grip instantly revised its principles and foundations. Although it was already too late because Hayao Miyazaki showed up on the horizon, who will cause the second successful strike in two years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 4

"Nausicaa of the Valley of winds"

The first hit from the Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's debut as a director. And personally, my favorite from him. This picture breaks immediately hundreds of rules, which took place at the animation cinema. Firstly, it takes almost two hours (117 minutes), and secondly, this film does not divide people into good and bad only. Third, there is a dizzying action, blood, murder and beautiful explosions (But it was still long before Michael Bay). A unique, mysterious, atmospheric and very beautiful film. Animation and even today looks impressive and allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the film and the philosophy of post-apocalyptic society.

I heard that this movie is based on the manga, which was written by Miyazaki, and that in making the film many times have changed. I don't know, I haven't read the manga, but on the other hand, it's right, when the author tries to create something unique, especially based on his own material.

By the way, Nausicaa, is my favorite female character of all times. She's a smart, kind, noble, strong, independent. Wow, I can write about her for hours. The most three-dimensional character of all three-dimensional characters, which you can find in history. LOL. Such an adventure lover who seeks to know all the mysterious forest and find out all its secrets. It's funny that this type appeared in 1984 and then came into use among nearly every well-known movie and TV studios, which began to operate similar characters over the years. By the way, Ray of the new episode of Star Wars, exactly like Nausicaa. Only a thousand times worse.

The world shown in here is simply superb. And the music. The music in this film deserves thirty Oscars once and for all times. And the music. The music in this film deserves thirty Oscars once and for all times. There's no annoying pop music that appeared in Disney and had occupied it until the release of the film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (which I think is the worst adaptation of "Notre Dame de Paris"). Beautiful ambient music, with a hint of classicism, really creates a sense of uncertainty and helps dive into the movie better. Great music, great story, great animation. Indeed the film that you can see and you will not be disappointed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 3

"The Land Before Time"

Oh yeah. Again Don Bluth and again 2D animation. This time takes place... about... 70 million years before our time. I dare to say that this animated film swept the most ancient times in the life of our planet. Although it contains many inconsistencies, such as Dimetrodon that went extinct 100 million years before the events of the film, if not more (Oh f..ck! Dimetrodon ghost! RUN, save your lives!). But all this stuff. I have with this film only fond memories and melancholy. I think you all know what I mean. But now we will not talk about it.

Okay, you know the story. And if you don't, then run to watch this movie or Tyrannosaurus Rex will bite off your ass.

What is there left to say? The film has a lot to do with Bambi in the first half, or at least it looks that way. However, subsequently, the film moves away from Bambi so far that the film inspiration is no longer visible even on the horizon. The film turns into a real apotheosis of action and pretty good setting of the brutal world of dinosaurs. With the only difference that it is a children's movie. But even here it shows better than many so-called "documentary".

I memorized everything here. Every frame, every scene, every character, which you can meet. Littlefoot is adorable. Charming brave Apatosaurus, who lost his family (That scene of his mother's last words still makes my heart cringe in sadness) and who had to grow up fast and take on the role of the leader of a small group of dino kids. Cera is cool, though a bit of annoying with her exaggerated sense of her own greatness. Duckey? Yep-yep-yep. Petrie? This guy always brings a smile to my face, with only one of its appearance in the frame. And Spike is Spike. He remembered for not uttering a single word in the entire movie.

Perhaps, there is a lot of paleontological and logical inaccuracies, but still, such moments are passed by when watching a remarkable history and wonderful work. I've seen this movie before, and I am determined to see it many more times in the future. Excellent instructive and very good film that is worth seeing for both adults and children.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 2

"Bambi"

The fifth animated Disney film, and a second along with "Fantasia", which I rewatching more often than the rest of their work. Bambi's influence can be spotted in many modern cartoons even today. "The Lion King," "The Land Before Time," "The Fox and the Hound" and much more. And deservedly so, because even today, none of these cartoons reached the rank suggested by "Bambi". This cartoon is great in everything. It is mesmerizing, attractive and infinitely atmospheric.

The animation is done in such a way that it helps the viewer feel like in nature. Really it creates a feeling that you are now was in the woods and watch the animals with your own eyes. But it was in 1942. None of today's cartoons have approached this cartoon for even a millimeter in terms of realistic display of animals and forests.

A separate topic I want to say about the music. This is one of the best musical scores in history. Music creates an atmosphere that immerses the viewer in the scene taking place. The music is not annoying and does not distract the viewer from the film, helping it to better integrate into the movie. Where shown snowstorm, the music sounds like a snowstorm. Where the rain, the music sounds like rain. And so on. Where there is fire, the music sounds like fire.

Walt Disney's approach towards minimalism affected here at the best level. For the entire movie was said a little more than eight hundred words. And I think that's enough. Nobody sings annoying idiotic songs about how bad he or she feels and how people do not understands. The songs are sound only on background. This is a huge plus in comparison with all the modern cartoon films and TV series, where the protagonists necessarily sing and you want to throw something at the screen. The atmospheric, gloomy, but at the same time kind and bright cartoon that you want to revise again and again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 1

"The Prince of Egypt"

The second Dreamworks animated film and their first big hit collected 218 million dollars with a budget of 70 million. Even today, this is the best cartoon that Dream Works ever created. By the way, I give them credit, because not every animation studio will decide to do the adaptation of some of the biblical stories. I need to mention that I'm an atheist and do not adhere to any religion in the world. However, I know well the story of the book "Exodus", which is the primary source and the source material for the film. I'm aware of all the mistakes allowed by the creators. However, the disclaimer at the beginning tells us that they are well aware of all the mistakes and regret it.

This film I can safely be considered the best film of the 90s. And also the most underrated film of this era. Animation, frames, scale, epic scope. All this suggests that this is the greatest film of its time. I do not remember a single film that would be approached at least one step closer to the "Prince of Egypt" in the nineties. Heck, even "Dream Works" after the release of their biggest masterpiece, switched to the standard children's films, which, however, did not contain the songs (except "Road to El Dorado", but this piece of shit is a different story). The plot has almost no plot holes, and all the existing questions can be explained by the fact that they were the primary source. Each existing frame is a logical continuation of the previous one and does not switch so abruptly and ragged, like in the you-know-what-film.

The song in the film is not annoying, unlike all the other animated musicals. This is the only animated musical, where I like all the songs that are here. Why? Because all of these songs contain motifs of Egyptian and Jewish peoples, which allows you to immerse yourself better in a film. No silly pop songs that distract the audience from what is happening. Only the most necessary and required. Even the ballad "When You Believe" (the version that was in the movie), was indeed complementary to the film and does not distract the viewer from the story. Each song sets the mood and helps you better understand the characters and their motives, their actions, and so on. Songs perfectly complement the scenes presented in the film. Today no one knows how to do so.

The story took place gradually, slowly and imperceptibly. Each scene logically continues the previous one. No happy ending in the final. Everything happens exactly as happened in the book-the primary source. And even a bunch of historical inaccuracies, which are present here can be forgiven for being in the movie perfectly recreate the atmosphere of ancient Egypt and shows the power of the civilization that existed thousands of years ago.

By the way. I officially declare the "The Prince of Egypt" the bloodiest in the history of animated film. Those who have seen the film will understand why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honorable mentions:

"Toy Story", "Toy Story 2", "Monsters, Inc.", "Finding Nemo", "Up", "Wall-E" and "The Incredibles" - these are good movies, and I love them. But not as much as the ones I have marked in this meme.

"My Neighbor Totoro", "Castle in the Sky", "Princess Mononoke", "Howl's Moving Castle", "Ponyo", "The Wind Rises" - Films made by Hayao Miyazaki. I love these movies, with all their advantages and disadvantages. However if I will put them on the meme, I'm affraid that other movies will not get their places.

"The Snow Queen" - the world's first film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale, made in 1957 in the USSR. And by the way, Miyazaki's favorite film. This is a film of my childhood, and I love this movie so far, but, unfortunately, you will not understand.

And many, many things that I can not describe because too many things to write...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now I'm sorry, but I have a special conversation with one blue hedgehog.

*It is going to war like Rambo. Prepared bow with explosive arrows, tied a bandage around the head, stuck grenades, pistols, rifles, and machine guns.*

Oh, Sonic! Where are you? Come here. I have a chili dog for you...

*Goes on hunting for a certain annoying blue hedgehog*

Number 10.

In the year of the release of this movie (2010), I did not go to the cinema for the simple reason that I then began to boycott it. Alas, I frankly missed two true masterpieces of modern cinema, for which I am very much regretted afterward. First, a phenomenal film "Inception" by Christopher Nolan, and Dreamworks' masterpiece "How to Train Your Dragon". Regarding Chris, I said in my meme "Top 10 favorite movies", and so it happened that the "How to Train Your Dragon" is also the sixth place in the hit parade (Hit Parade? LOL). No, it's not done on purpose, it was an accident.

And so, about the film. This cartoon is almost perfect. He has almost no weaknesses possessed by the previous Dreamworks films. Here we have almost precisely built a story, with a clear motivation for the characters, they followed great development, elegant animations (perhaps this film had the best 3D animation in 2010), which is not in a hurry, without jerks in convulsions and shows exactly what needs to show. Stunning visuals. 3D animation looks impressive and exciting even after six years since the release of the film, and it can be admired even from a computer or television screen. However, only if the animation is the main point of success of this film? The answer is - no. In addition to excellent animation, the picture quality has and kick-ass story, which the film a little way to compare (Of those that have been issued at the time of 2010. In America.). The film is obtained not to sag not make the viewer get bored.

And, of course, the characters. They're just beautiful. To be honest, it is possible that this is the best cast in the animated film along with "Rise of the Guardians", which will be released two years later (2012). I must tell you one thing, you probably realize. The main character Hiccup, despite the fact that he was a geek, and Hickey is not annoying. He really purposeful, ambitious and very charismatic guy that you're not ashamed to empathize, and who is really worth to admire. He never whines, never cries that nobody likes him, and really doing everything in his power to become someone. Damn, I am really like this character. Perhaps this is my favorite character in the animated films. And his dragon named Toothless is generally something with something. He was so cool, cute and such a faithful animal, that I could not help but smile every time he is in the frame. Watching his scenes, it's a real pleasure for your eyes and your heart. With regard to in order to describe the rest of the characters, I need to write a whole article. But I will not do it, because it will take forever.

Great movie, great animation, great action, great story, great characters, great everything. At the time of its release, it was truly one of the best animated films and is still one of the best in the twenty-first century.

Number 5

"The Secret of HIMH"

Debut solo film of outstanding animation director Don Bluth. For those who are sitting in the tank, I would say that Don Bluth, this is the man who created such masterpieces as "An American Tail", "The Land Before Time" and "All Dogs Go to Heaven", and rather controversial, but for the well acceptable "Anastasia". Although the film contains thousands of historical inaccuracies, I like it though, because it has excellent animation and an interesting story.

Anyway. Returning to the "Secret of NIMH". Released in 1982, it became one of the first films released NOT by Disney but still was very successful. Not in terms of cash, but critics have praised this film as one of the best ever produced. And for good reason.

If we consider the fact that in those days, Disney had a strict monopoly on the production of animated films, and it is no secret that in the 70th and the first half of the 80s, cartoons from Disney had the quality of the very questionable film. Hundreds of repetitions, copy-paste on their own earlier works and subsequently almost all Disney movies of the '70s and' 80s era were forgotten for one simple reason that they were the assembly-line production. And let's be honest, that the characters in Disney 70th works were shit! They were blank, empty and absolutely uninteresting. They just stuffed into a movie, knowing that the fans will eat absolutely any crap that they will present on a beautiful dish.

On their background, "The Secret of NIMH" was the real discovery. A better animation, better and in-depth storyline, well and is finite as a dark and mysterious setting that was inherent to anyone else, but not Disney. The film has excellent, not sagging plot, the excellent characters who really talks like a real-life human being (despite being a mouse), and not like a dummy who says the pre-prepared text before the microphone. Beautiful 2D animation, which looks impressive even now, after 34 years (2016) since its release. The main character of the film, Mrs. Brisby, is a brave and good-natured mouse, ready to stop her own mouse nature and to do anything in order to complete the task. And an entire galaxy of theories about this fucking red gems that Mrs. Brisby owns.

This animated film, by and large, was the first successful project, which has managed to circumvent the Disney monopoly. And the first challenge to the company, who felt that it was losing its grip instantly revised its principles and foundations. Although it was already too late because Hayao Miyazaki showed up on the horizon, who will cause the second successful strike in two years.

Number 4

"Nausicaa of the Valley of winds"

The first hit from the Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's debut as a director. And personally, my favorite from him. This picture breaks immediately hundreds of rules, which took place at the animation cinema. Firstly, it takes almost two hours (117 minutes), and secondly, this film does not divide people into good and bad only. Third, there is a dizzying action, blood, murder and beautiful explosions (But it was still long before Michael Bay). A unique, mysterious, atmospheric and very beautiful film. Animation and even today looks impressive and allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the film and the philosophy of post-apocalyptic society.

I heard that this movie is based on the manga, which was written by Miyazaki, and that in making the film many times have changed. I don't know, I haven't read the manga, but on the other hand, it's right, when the author tries to create something unique, especially based on his own material.

By the way, Nausicaa, is my favorite female character of all times. She's a smart, kind, noble, strong, independent. Wow, I can write about her for hours. The most three-dimensional character of all three-dimensional characters, which you can find in history. LOL. Such an adventure lover who seeks to know all the mysterious forest and find out all its secrets. It's funny that this type appeared in 1984 and then came into use among nearly every well-known movie and TV studios, which began to operate similar characters over the years. By the way, Ray of the new episode of Star Wars, exactly like Nausicaa. Only a thousand times worse.

The world shown in here is simply superb. And the music. The music in this film deserves thirty Oscars once and for all times. And the music. The music in this film deserves thirty Oscars once and for all times. There's no annoying pop music that appeared in Disney and had occupied it until the release of the film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (which I think is the worst adaptation of "Notre Dame de Paris"). Beautiful ambient music, with a hint of classicism, really creates a sense of uncertainty and helps dive into the movie better. Great music, great story, great animation. Indeed the film that you can see and you will not be disappointed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 3

"The Land Before Time"

Oh yeah. Again Don Bluth and again 2D animation. This time takes place... about... 70 million years before our time. I dare to say that this animated film swept the most ancient times in the life of our planet. Although it contains many inconsistencies, such as Dimetrodon that went extinct 100 million years before the events of the film, if not more (Oh f..ck! Dimetrodon ghost! RUN, save your lives!). But all this stuff. I have with this film only fond memories and melancholy. I think you all know what I mean. But now we will not talk about it.

Okay, you know the story. And if you don't, then run to watch this movie or Tyrannosaurus Rex will bite off your ass.

What is there left to say? The film has a lot to do with Bambi in the first half, or at least it looks that way. However, subsequently, the film moves away from Bambi so far that the film inspiration is no longer visible even on the horizon. The film turns into a real apotheosis of action and pretty good setting of the brutal world of dinosaurs. With the only difference that it is a children's movie. But even here it shows better than many so-called "documentary".

I memorized everything here. Every frame, every scene, every character, which you can meet. Littlefoot is adorable. Charming brave Apatosaurus, who lost his family (That scene of his mother's last words still makes my heart cringe in sadness) and who had to grow up fast and take on the role of the leader of a small group of dino kids. Cera is cool, though a bit of annoying with her exaggerated sense of her own greatness. Duckey? Yep-yep-yep. Petrie? This guy always brings a smile to my face, with only one of its appearance in the frame. And Spike is Spike. He remembered for not uttering a single word in the entire movie.

Perhaps, there is a lot of paleontological and logical inaccuracies, but still, such moments are passed by when watching a remarkable history and wonderful work. I've seen this movie before, and I am determined to see it many more times in the future. Excellent instructive and very good film that is worth seeing for both adults and children.

Number 2

"Bambi"

The fifth animated Disney film, and a second along with "Fantasia", which I rewatching more often than the rest of their work. Bambi's influence can be spotted in many modern cartoons even today. "The Lion King," "The Land Before Time," "The Fox and the Hound" and much more. And deservedly so, because even today, none of these cartoons reached the rank suggested by "Bambi". This cartoon is great in everything. It is mesmerizing, attractive and infinitely atmospheric.

The animation is done in such a way that it helps the viewer feel like in nature. Really it creates a feeling that you are now was in the woods and watch the animals with your own eyes. But it was in 1942. None of today's cartoons have approached this cartoon for even a millimeter in terms of realistic display of animals and forests.

A separate topic I want to say about the music. This is one of the best musical scores in history. Music creates an atmosphere that immerses the viewer in the scene taking place. The music is not annoying and does not distract the viewer from the film, helping it to better integrate into the movie. Where shown snowstorm, the music sounds like a snowstorm. Where the rain, the music sounds like rain. And so on. Where there is fire, the music sounds like fire.

Walt Disney's approach towards minimalism affected here at the best level. For the entire movie was said a little more than eight hundred words. And I think that's enough. Nobody sings annoying idiotic songs about how bad he or she feels and how people do not understands. The songs are sound only on background. This is a huge plus in comparison with all the modern cartoon films and TV series, where the protagonists necessarily sing and you want to throw something at the screen. The atmospheric, gloomy, but at the same time kind and bright cartoon that you want to revise again and again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 1

"The Prince of Egypt"

The second Dreamworks animated film and their first big hit collected 218 million dollars with a budget of 70 million. Even today, this is the best cartoon that Dream Works ever created. By the way, I give them credit, because not every animation studio will decide to do the adaptation of some of the biblical stories. I need to mention that I'm an atheist and do not adhere to any religion in the world. However, I know well the story of the book "Exodus", which is the primary source and the source material for the film. I'm aware of all the mistakes allowed by the creators. However, the disclaimer at the beginning tells us that they are well aware of all the mistakes and regret it.

This film I can safely be considered the best film of the 90s. And also the most underrated film of this era. Animation, frames, scale, epic scope. All this suggests that this is the greatest film of its time. I do not remember a single film that would be approached at least one step closer to the "Prince of Egypt" in the nineties. Heck, even "Dream Works" after the release of their biggest masterpiece, switched to the standard children's films, which, however, did not contain the songs (except "Road to El Dorado", but this piece of shit is a different story). The plot has almost no plot holes, and all the existing questions can be explained by the fact that they were the primary source. Each existing frame is a logical continuation of the previous one and does not switch so abruptly and ragged, like in the you-know-what-film.

The song in the film is not annoying, unlike all the other animated musicals. This is the only animated musical, where I like all the songs that are here. Why? Because all of these songs contain motifs of Egyptian and Jewish peoples, which allows you to immerse yourself better in a film. No silly pop songs that distract the audience from what is happening. Only the most necessary and required. Even the ballad "When You Believe" (the version that was in the movie), was indeed complementary to the film and does not distract the viewer from the story. Each song sets the mood and helps you better understand the characters and their motives, their actions, and so on. Songs perfectly complement the scenes presented in the film. Today no one knows how to do so.

The story took place gradually, slowly and imperceptibly. Each scene logically continues the previous one. No happy ending in the final. Everything happens exactly as happened in the book-the primary source. And even a bunch of historical inaccuracies, which are present here can be forgiven for being in the movie perfectly recreate the atmosphere of ancient Egypt and shows the power of the civilization that existed thousands of years ago.

By the way. I officially declare the "The Prince of Egypt" the bloodiest in the history of animated film. Those who have seen the film will understand why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honorable mentions:

"Toy Story", "Toy Story 2", "Monsters, Inc.", "Finding Nemo", "Up", "Wall-E" and "The Incredibles" - these are good movies, and I love them. But not as much as the ones I have marked in this meme.

"My Neighbor Totoro", "Castle in the Sky", "Princess Mononoke", "Howl's Moving Castle", "Ponyo", "The Wind Rises" - Films made by Hayao Miyazaki. I love these movies, with all their advantages and disadvantages. However if I will put them on the meme, I'm affraid that other movies will not get their places.

"The Snow Queen" - the world's first film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale, made in 1957 in the USSR. And by the way, Miyazaki's favorite film. This is a film of my childhood, and I love this movie so far, but, unfortunately, you will not understand.

And many, many things that I can not describe because too many things to write...

And now I'm sorry, but I have a special conversation with one blue hedgehog.

*It is going to war like Rambo. Prepared bow with explosive arrows, tied a bandage around the head, stuck grenades, pistols, rifles, and machine guns.*

Oh, Sonic! Where are you? Come here. I have a chili dog for you...

*Goes on hunting for a certain annoying blue hedgehog*
