Animated Movies

[Bob_99]

Some of the movies that I enjoy are well done (IMO) animated movies (other than the Pixar movies) such as 'Titan -AE' or 'Final Fantasy - The Spirit Within' and I was wondering if anyone knew of other movies of this gendre. Having seen computers evolve over the years, the graphics on these always fascinate me.

Thanks,

Bob

I actually thought the Cartoon Network's Star Wars - Clone Wars were pretty good. Though I think they are just good old fashion animation.

Hmmm,....Monster House, Polar Express, Beowulf,....can't think of anything else that is not Disney or Pixar or both.

Thanks Mark but while I found Monster house very entertaining, I was thinking more along the lines of animated movies that look 'real' and not comic like. The heroine in Final Fantasy is really done well and there are times that it's really hard to believe that she's not a real actress. Polar Express is good and I forgot about that one. As for Boewulf, I don't think I'm familiar with it and will check it out.

Thank you for taking the time and giving me some ideas.

There are lots of movies that showcase interesting technology. I'd recommend looking at Appleseed, Steamboy, and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Those are ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Beowulf only if you go check it out on 3D, otherwise I'm not sure it would count as anything other than traditional motion capture. Sin City is 100% green screen.

You asked for non-Pixar films, but all the Pixar movies usually feature one or two new technologies in each film, although not blatantly evident, which I think are really cool to try and identify.

Edit: I see you're interesting in things that look real instead of animated. Try Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Although it's really worth like 100x more if you actually played Final Fantasy VII yourself.

Yes, that's correct. I apologize for not making myself clearer in the original post. Final Fantasy VII and Sin City sound interesting and what I'm looking for.

Thank you for the suggestions.
