Both of those were amazing movies.
Tangled was so much better than I thought it would be.
I have found memories of The Nightmare Before Christmas; although, I don't imagine it has held up well over time.

how the heck did Wall-E surprise you?
Thats like the height of Pixar's output.
Tangled and Megamind/how to train your dragon.
Disney movies have not been so great in a while. Tangled really was a step up.
Dreamworks out of nowhere with both those two.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the wind. Saw this on like Free HBO week or something as a kid. Had no idea what I had just seen. Wasn't till high school, art teacher showed it, that I had a "THAT MOVIE". One of the biggest reasons for an interest in art.
Its not really the same NOW. as its pretty common, and even the western animation has changed. But travel back to 1984, or 88. Have nothing but Disney movies, Secret of Nimh, and looney toons. Then suddenly, Nausicaa, or Akira. Man. mind blown.
Even western non-Disney, didnt really have that kind of impact. The last unicorn, The hobbit, wizards, fire and ice.

WALL-E surprised me because i wasn't really expecting a movie with that much depth. i mean, it was a movie about robots. so i was impressed by just how good it really was (not just as an animated movie, but just as a movie in general). also, rango was surprisingly good. went into that movie without a lot of expectations.
Not trying to be a dick or anything, but I think you mean "Grave" of the Fireflies? - and I totally agree. It definitely works better before everyone tells you it's the most depressing cartoon ever though.

The Plague Dogs.Also Watership Down, same people but not as shocking. As far as I can tell from various similar threads to this I am the only human to have ever seen The Plague Dogs. I was like 6 and my asshole older brothers let me watch it. Movie is was too fucked up for a 6 year old...
Dragon Hunters.This was a suggestion from FoH a few years back.
Also Coraline just because I went in to it with almost no prior knowledge.

Transformers: The Movie - I mean, you watch the cartoons for years as a kid, and then shit happens in the movie that completely changes everything.
Fantastic Mr. Fox - HOT BOX! I fucking love that movie so much. The voice-acting and animation totally made that film.
