Classic animated films have that charm that that many American 3D productions find it harder to find. A kind of magic and halo that gives them something very special and that over time takes on greater artistic value.
Next, we show you seven classic animated films that have a great beauty in every way and that show different stories to take us through charming characters that usually offer a double meaning about what is important in life.
Ernest & Celestine
A Franco-Belgian co-production about the relationship between a bear and a young mouse. The watercolor paintings are of a beautiful manufacture and it seems that we are facing an animated children's story book.
The two main characters have that delicacy that makes us dazzle with their relationships and history.
The song of the sea
The Song of the Sea or Song of the Sea is a 2014 Irish animated film directed by Tomm Moore, himself from The Secret of Kells. A new story inspired by Irish folklore which tells the story of a boy, Ben, and his little sister Saoirse, a girl who can turn into a seal.
An animated movie that has that magic touch and that has a great development in the animation of the characters.
Kirikou and the Sorceress
A classic animated film inspired this time by African folklore that is usually something quite rare for the western type of audience.
The traditional animation is of great beauty and the soundtrack is one of those that manages to connect brilliantly with the story led by a single character. Kirikou is the only member of the tribe who has the courage to face the evil witch Karabá, and so clever that he was born only from the womb of his mother.
The ilusionist
Based on a script by comedy genius Tati, a film with relaxed atmospheres that tells the story of a French illusionist who travels to Scotland to find work and meets a rather naive young man on his way.
Among its details are its fantastic atmosphere and her profile appeals more to an older audience due to that melancholic tone that Tati's story runs through. We can also count as if it were a love letter to the city of Edinburgh that is excellently portrayed in this traditional animated film.
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
How could it be otherwise, we are facing one of the animation studios most acclaimed of all time, Studio Ghibli.
The tale of Princess Kaguya begins when some elderly peasants they find a tiny girl inside a bamboo plant and decide to adopt her as a daughter.
One of the best movies released last year that lead us to the fatal destiny that Princess Kaguya must find and that comes with all the art that Studio Ghibli usually offers to its wonderful creations in the form of an animated film. Animated poetry in its purest form.
The savage planet
A french movie 1973 sci-fi animated Directed by René Laloux, one of the classics of European animation that you should not miss.
With a visual style that goes beyond the norm, it is presented to us as a unique and very beautiful movie to drink from it and be inspired by one. A classic among classics.
When the wind blows
If you have some handkerchiefs nearby, put them close, because you will need them with this movie animation released in Great Britain in October 1986 and based on the graphic novel by Raymond Briggs.
A hybrid between what would be the classic animation and stop-motion where the story is told of two elderly people who face the construction of a nuclear shelter for an imminent attack from the Soviet Union. It shows us the story from the perspective of a retired couple, who are actually the parents of the director of the film.
Seven animated movies in the traditional way that is precisely the opposite to what is taught in SIGGRAPH.
