Animation Appreciation Thread

[Space Sweeper]

Because I just noticed how much of us love our animated movies, shows, and possibly pornography (Lie).

What are your guy's favorite shows and movies? Anything you're interested in checking out?

Also, lets keep the hate of other people's interests to a minimum, arright? This place is a haven for alllll things animation... except the porn stuff, that's a bit out of my jurisdiction.

Also, this is a good place to post news; for example:

As for Animated Shows?

So many to freaking choose from and name. However, DBZ and Justice League Unlimited were the s**t

[Nightmare Asylum]

Growing up, I loved a lot of animated series. Shows that stand out to me are Justice League, Static Shock, Teen Titans, Code Lyoko, Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Pokemon, and probably many others.

I also love plenty of animated films. Pixar never ceases to blow my mind (even if Cars 2 wasn't exactly their best film...), and I greatly enjoyed HTTYD. Other non-CGI favorites of mine include Hercules, Iron Giant, The Lion King, and tons of others that aren't coming to mind right now.

[King Rathalos]

I'm pretty sure everyone knows what I'm going to say is my favorite series/movie animation wise so I'm just going to skip forward to everything else I love.

Any of the Pixar movies just any of them. They've taken me on special journey's into different worlds with memorable characters that are instantly recognizable as is with most Disney animated characters. Even their worst (Cars 2) is still a cut above most other releases.

Old school Disney movies since these were my first exposure to animation they are what I will always credit as one of the first things to get me into drawing that wasn't live action or a video game.

Anime is also a big one for me (as many probably know) and they've also been a huge inspiration for me whether it's a fun action packed series' like DragonBall/DBZ or dark and disturbing like Akira it's always been one of the things in my life that as I've grown older I've learned to love more.

Oh, man there's way too many things for me to list here and I just really don't think I have the patience.

[ShadowPred]

anybody else watched this movie?

Broken link, and when it is opened in new tab, it says FORBIDDEN.



And about this thread. It's too damn difficult to name a list, I can't name anything without feeling like I am neglecting those that I can't remember off the top of my head.

[chupacabras acheronsis]

does this one work?

[RagingDragon]

Holy balls, this thread is going to be pulled over, it's hauling so much ass.

Sweeper beat me with Mulan, mmm MMM I love it so.

This thread is gonna be a blast.  I've seen so much animation in my day... let's see, I'll start off by illustrating some diversity.  We can do shows too right?  *proceeds to do shows with no authorization*

My childhood is oozing out like crazy!

Will post more, I am currently trying to find a very obscure one at the moment, a show that used to come out on UPN alongside with THe Incredible Hulk, it was about a group of people who would go after paranormal creatures.


OMFG, I found it! This is close as I can get.

[First Blood]

Apart from Batman TAS, this was another show that ruled my childhood. It's a mixture of western, science fiction and steam punk all rolled into one. And it was glorious.
