Questions about your animated likes

[mythicmistress]

I would like to get some activity going, so here are some questions/discussion starters. (hopefully) I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries by doing this.

1. What is one of your favorite animated films growing up that is from a foreign country, if there is one?

2. What are five of your favorite animated films and why do you like them?

3. Do you like any web cartoons? If so, what are they?

4. Do you watch anime? If so, name some of your favorite anime.

5. What are five cartoons that you grew up with that you still enjoy?

1. Pretty much grew up on Disney, didn't get to see any foreign animations until recently. Always looking for recs, though!

2. Rise of the Guardians - love the visuals & in-universe lore, but it's also a sentimental favorite that keeps inspiring me. Song of the Sea - so pretty??? so emotional??? I cry every time!! The Secret of NIMH - nostalgia, love the old(er) animation and slightly creepy vibe. Spirited Away - my fav Ghibli film, love anything that deals with spirits tbh. Kung Fu Panda 2 - it's fun & always makes me happy, while still having emotional punches???

3. Web cartoons like how Bee & Puppycat started on the web? Or is that something else??? Either way, probably yes? I've got a bunch of stuff bookmarked ... just need to find the time to go through them :'D

4. Yep, but mostly magical girl stuff like Princess Tutu, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight. Also stuff like Mob Psycho 100, FMA:B, and xxxHOLIC.

5. Toons I grew up with and still enjoy? Um ... Batman TAS, Justice League ... I think that's it. Haven't really rewatched any but those ^^;

Foreign film recs? Hmmm, it seems like you've already seen the stuff I always rec, but keeping an eye out for films dubbed and released by GKIDS is a fairly safe bet- I've enjoyed a few French films like April and the Extraordinary World, Ernest and Celestine, and Mune: The Guardian of the Moon.

I still rewatch the DCAU cartoons on occasion, particularly Justice League Unlimited (I just love that incarnation of Green Arrow).

Oh will do :O thanks!!! I'll add those to my list lol

I'm mostly a Batman fan, but I loved the JLU versions of everyone ( especially Martian Manhunter! )
