Just watched Dark Knight Returns and thought it was great, then watched Planet Hulk and it wasn't as good.

Any other good traditionally animated movies? Doesn't have to be DC/Marvel, but that's kind of what I'm enjoying at the moment.

Rather not have it be a show or series as I don't have the stamina for a long show right now.

[jph139]

More Batman is always good - Year One is my personal favorite, while Under the Red Hood is widely considered the best. You can go way back to Mask of the Phantasm too.

 

[entremet]

Tokyo Godfathers, Millennium Actress, anything by Satoshi Kon.

Felidae was an interesting movie...

Yeah, those three are all great. The Wonder Woman animated movie was good too.

Beast Machines sucks ass.

BW is hella good though.

 

[sans_pants]

Akira
Anything Miyazaki
Ghost in the shell(movies and shows)
Cowboy bebop

 

[Air]

Loony tunes.

 

[Yawnier]

Akira. I'm not even a big fan of Anime and I loved that movie.

 

[Village]

Boondocks

While I believe that all animation can be appreciated by an adult.

That up there, that is the best answer.

 

[Winterblink]

No love for Shadow Raiders?

Castle in the sky was always my favorite Ghibli film.

Perfect Blue is superb

 

[Kite]

Gargoyles intro - before Avatar the Last Airbender, Gargoyles and Batman TAS showed that cartoons aimed at a more grown up audience could be awesome!

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Check out All-Star Superman and Batman: Under the Red Hood.

Also, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm if you have not already seen that.

For something not superheroes, check out Heavy Metal(1981). It might not be...'good', per se, but it's definitely unlike anything you've ever seen.

The Iron Giant

Also, this.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Young Justice, Legend of Korra and American Dad are my favorites. I'm 22, so I'm basically an adult.

 

[bryanee]

Superman vs The Elite
Batman: Under the Red Hood
Wonder Woman
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Justice League Doom
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and Apocalypse
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

You cant really go wrong with the animated DC stuff.


When you're ready for a series check out all of Justice League Unlimited, you can also check out the first two seasons of JL, season 2 in particular is great.

 

[ComputerMKII]

My mom loved Persépolis and Spirited Away..

 

[jgmo870]

Waltz with Bashir, Triplets of Belleville, and Paprika. Archer too but there are only a handful of great episodes, El Secuestro (season 2, episode 10) being one of them. But you have you have to be familiar with the characters for it to really hit home though.

 

[Toparaman]

Hentai.

 

[sn00zer]

Mindgame was one of the most adult animes Ive ever seen...so fucking tired of highschool drama or 12 year old saves the world....very unique movie about being in your mid 20s...and other stuff

Tekkonkinkreet is about kids, but more about the loss of innocence, very well done and adult movie

 

[Bronco'Bama]

Triplets of Belleville.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

No Summer Wars or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, yet? Both of those are pretty good.

 

[Peco]

Hentai.

[Pau]

The Ilusionist but prepare to cry.

Batman: Under the Red Hood

I'm not even a huge comic DC fan, but this is the best thing I've ever seen from anything related to a comic book. 10/10

 

[t26]

Are Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero and Mystery of the Batwoman any good? They are free for me on Prime.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Are Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero and Mystery of the Batwoman any good? They are free for me on Prime.

They're good, but not exceptional.

 

[DrSlek]

Lascars
The Iron Giant
Coraline (stop motion, but it counts as animation)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
Transformers: The Animated Movie

All animated movies. All fantastic.

 

[Moaradin]

Are Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero and Mystery of the Batwoman any good? They are free for me on Prime.

They are good but don't reach anywhere near the level of Phantasm.

 

[Toa TAK]

Someone said SPAWN?

All is good with this thread.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Legend of Korra.

 

[harSon]

Watership Down
Waltz with Bashir
Heavy Metal
Waking Life
A Scanner Darkly
Ralph Bakshi's filmography is a great place to look.
The Plague Dogs
Persepolis
When the Wind Blows

 

[Bright Side of Life]

Batman: Mask of Phantasm
Anything (and everything) Ghilbi
Paprika (it's like anime Inception sort of)
Triplets of Belleville
Tekkinkonkreet
Beavis and Butthead Do America

If we can count stop motion animation that's not Burton's stuff:
Paranorman
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Coraline
