It's not bad. Some people think the main character is a cunt, but that's what you get from memoirs sometimes. I'd call it a must watch/read just for the sake of its widespread popularity, but also warn people not to overhype it going in.

If you watch The Their and the Cobbler, make sure to go for the Recobbled version. It's more unfinished, but it doesn't have the shitty Disneyfication.

Seconding these specifically for OP's request. The others are all also recommended, but kind of border on the line of "serious" and "for adults." Except Gandahar. I just didn't happen to like that one, but maybe you might want to try it.

I remember liking it a lot as a little kid. Was it really made for adults? I thought it was a children's film with some dark content.

I also loved the hell out of Watership Down as a kid, but later grew up to realize maybe it wasn't really quite "for" kids. The age of random home video rentals had some good times for me.

The Congress is better than Waltz with Bashir, but OP shoujld watch both.

American Pop is indeed Bakshi's best, but OP should also watch Heavy Traffic, Coonskin, and Wizards.

The list is missing The Triplets of Belleville and The Ilusionist from Sylvain Chomet.

Also missing Fantastic Mr. Fox and Anomalisa.

I think that list was made before any of those came out. The list was extended at some point and after that I started editing in some personal picks. I've been meaning to add a new row with Fantastic Mr. Fox and others. Haven't seen Anomalisa yet. It's never been a purely "adult" movie list, though.

They may be aimed at kids, but I think Sanrio's movies are generally surprisingly good.

>>84373404
I'd say so. Follows the graphic novel pretty closely but is a bit more depressing since it cuts out some of the SOL bits for time.
Worth watching.

As for who it's aimed at, while I kids could enjoy it, I think adults might get more out of it. Or at least young adults/students.

Holy shit you just revived some long dead memories. I loved that movie.

Honestly a lot of the movies on the list above were movies from my childhood.
>>
>>84373404
I personally would recommend the books. The movie is very well made, but the books are more thorough and have a better story arc. Yeah, the protagonist is a bit of a cunt, but that's what makes it real. She was a selfish kid, a know-it-all brat rebel teenager growing up in a hostile environment both in and outside of Iran, and she definitely paid the price for her arrogance multiple times.

The author doesn't sugar-coat herself or try to portray herself any better than she was, and the honesty is part of what makes it good.

I'd hesitate to include Corpse Bride and Nightmare.

Corpse Bride falls flat in a lot of ways. Its good, but not great.

Not sure if I agree with Blood being on there. Also, 9 was great but a lot of people really hate it.

Just finished that one. It would have been better if he had just died in the end. The whole immortality thing is just plain stupid. The narrator is sorta annoying too. Worth a watch though.

>>84372582
I always see Gandahar on lists like these but I only remember that movie being laughably convoluted and far too absurd to take seriously. Should I try watching it again?
>>
>>84392998
i disagree. The ending was what everyone wants and what everyone wants to believe will happen for themselves. As much as we see it death is still hard to grasp, so to see a character who gets the happy ending we all secretly feel like we'll get only made the absurdity of it clearer. To see a man who sees the world and does everything he could ever dream of, to live a more fulfilling life than anyone else and live long enough to see history made only makes it more obvious that we will never do anything like that. In a way it's far more sad and makes you more self aware than if he had simply died. I also think it was just from his warped perception and sense of time.
