Æon Flux (1991 - 1995)

I know it’s not the popular opinion among fans of the Æon Flux animated series but I think season 3 is the strongest. With the third season, Peter Chung managed to retain the surreal visual essence of the shorts while adding a narrative where the dialogue is minimal but exquisite and seductive. The pilot and shorts is where it all began but I loved seeing more of the world and getting a better sense of Aeon and Trevor’s ambivalent relationship.

"No homo" is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of a human. This is my second favorite way to reply - the first, bloody retribution.

Animation Inspiration Week- Top 10 Favorite Animated Films (Non-Disney)

1. Nightmare Before Christmas- Ok, it was distributed by Disney but not the classic 2-D studio…This movie has been my favorite since I was young, it maybe my favorite film of all time. I’m happy its gained a huge following.  Delightfully twisted, amazing songs, amazing stop motion, amazing puppets…everything is about this movie is perfection in my eyes.

2. Fantastic Mr. Fox- Another film I consider one of my favorites of all time. This movie is unlike any other animated film. Wes Anderson can do no wrong.

3. Coonskin- I’ve already talked about Ralph Bakshi so I won’t bore you with the same stuff I wrote before. Love the unhinged vignette style story-telling, the improvisational dialogue and the crude yet appealing designs.

4. My Neighbor Totoro- How can a movie be so simple and so powerful? This one is that and more.

5. Rango- Proof that live action directors can make great animated films. Everything is ugly and I love it. Being a Western is also a plus.

6. The Incredibles- I know Pixar is part of Disney but I consider their films not so much in the Disney universe. A kids movie with adult themes. Also one of the best animated actions films. Brad Bird can do no wrong.

7. Mad Monster Party- Goofy dumb spooky kooky monster madness! Might have inspired Nightmare Before Christmas.

8. Iron Giant- Brad Bird doing his thing. Great characters and storytelling. Heartfelt and powerful. Based in the 50’s is a plus.

9. How to Train Your Dragon- Dreamwork’s best movie. Chris Sanders is another hero of animation. The dragon designs could have been super generic but they’re among some of the best designed creatures I’ve seen. I also loved the sequel!

10. The Spongebob Squarepants Movie- This movie will always be hilarious.
