Wow, a list that doesn't totally suck.
Of course, the list could go on for days and days listing every single awesomely weird and thought provoking, but mainly mind fucking, animation flick.

No \”Triplets of Belleville\”?

Track down Aachi and Ssipak a Korean feature from 2006. When Peter Chung (Aeon Flux creator) showed me the script, I really didn\’t believe it could be made as a feature because the premise was so off the wall. The film existed as one of the best trailers ever and then not only was made–I saw it on the big screen at the Hole in the Head film festival–but it was gloriously insane, violent and funny. It\’s everything animation should be in the sense of its liberating power of imagination.

Spirited Away, as everyone knows by now, is a masterpiece. But not everyone knows that The Adventures of Mark Twain is also amazing, so thank you for helping to spread the word. Just the facial detail in the claymation is incredible, and the way it turns Mark Twain\’s life and words into a treatise on life, the world, and philosophy is brilliant. It\’s on YouTube, look it up.

I would also like to second the other nominations from commetners: Allegro Non Troppo is one of the great animated films, and Jan Svankmajer is one of the great animators. Of course, much of the best work in world animation is in shorts, not features, so if you\’re interested in real animated art, check out Yuri Norstein, Frederick Back, Alexandre Petrov, Jiri Trnka, and Norman McLaren.
This page has a good introduction to the great works: http://www.imdb.com/list/cS6nsI9PksQ/

@Paul

I thought about Eva but didn\’t want to write up something that wasn\’t stand-alone. Also haven\’t seen it in years and wanted to watch the entire series again, plus the reboot (if only because of the whole theory on whether the reboot is actually that or a sequel to \”End\”)

End of Evangelion. Hands down. Only movie I can think of where the end of the universe is everyone orgasming into pools of liquid & having our souls sucked into giant vagina stigmatas on the hands of a large naked female Angel.

I think a few other films that would be good for this feature would be Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, Allegro Non Troppo and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.

The Goon would be a perfect fit if it would ever freakin come out!
