The 2. 5 All- TIME Best Animated Films. It’s said that when he first watched a rough cut of his studio’s next feature cartoon, Walt Disney absolutely disapproved of one scene: when the Cocker Spaniel Lady and the roguish mutt Tramp dig into a plate of spaghetti on a romantic night and catch ends of the same strand, their faces coming closer to a kiss as they nibble. This, of course, is the moment — played to the strains of Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke’s Neapolitan ballad “Bella Notte” — that immediately entered the DNA of millions of moviegoers and is still cherished more than a half- century later.

Disney’s 1. 5th animated feature, and its first released in Cinema. Scope, was one of its more modest productions in a decade when the studio had mixed results with its ambitious adaptations of such famous tales as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty. Returning to the core Disney values of humor and heart, veteran directors Clyde Geronimo, Hamilton Luske and Wilfred Jackson gave Lady and the Tramp the pedigree of a winner that delights every new generation of children.

Get this movie. Stop- motion animation is exacting, exhausting work: building puppets, placing them on a miniature stage and moving them one frame at a time — tens of thousands of times. Harder still is bringing insouciant life to this arduous process. That’s what director Wes Anderson and animation director Mark Gustafson managed in this delightful version of the Roald Dahl children’s classic about a dapper, larcenous fox (voiced by George Clooney) who aims to pull off one last, impossible heist. The vibe of Fox and his wife (Meryl Streep) and rebellious son (Jason Schwartzman) is as comically tense as it is in families from earlier films by Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums) and co- writer Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale). But the brood soon bonds, revealing its humor and humanity, its intrinsic and intoxicating foxiness. Watch it now. Intended to take the songs of the Beatles into the medium of animation — and to cash in on the 1.

Yellow Submarine somehow found a sense of humor and sophistication worthy of the Fab Four. To translate the group’s groovy, borderline- psychedelic spirit to pictures, Canadian animator George Dunning assembled a writing team that included Erich Segal, soon to be famous as the author of Love Story, and Roger Mc. Gough, Britain’s foremost punster poet. They came up with a free- form, mostly underwater narrative that sent the lads (voiced by soundalikes) swimming backward and forward through the Sea of Time, getting lost in the Sea of Nothing and fighting a vacuum- cleaner beast in the Sea of Monsters, all while fighting off the evil Blue Meanies on their trip to Pepperland. Some sequences were their own short films (Charles Jenkins created the poignant “Eleanor Rigby” segment), but the thing held together thanks to the hallucinatory opulence of Heinz Edelmann’s design.

A G- rated head trip, the movie appealed to kids, their stoned older siblings and their hip parents. As A Hard Day’s Night and Help! Yellow Submarine proved that the Disney style wasn’t the only way for animated features, and the film’s financial success made possible rougher fantasias such as Fantastic Planet(1.

Heavy Metal (1. 98. Could the movie, so indelibly a part of its era, speak to ours? Robert Zemeckis thought so: he planned a 3- D version for release in 2.

But after the box- office failure of his animated Mars Needs Moms, his sponsoring studio — Disney — killed the project. Get this movie. In the Jungle of Nool, something foreign — the nearly infinitesimal planet of Who- ville — lands on a piece of clover, and Horton the elephant (voiced by Jim Carrey) detects cries from the clover speck. He can’t see the little Whos, but he deduces, believes, knows they’re in there; and his caring instinct tells him that they must be protected, against the collective protestations of other jungle creatures. Who- ville’s microscopic mayor (Steve Carell) has the same problem convincing his constituents that some giant unseen creature wants to help them. Ted Geisel’s 1. 95. We’re all in this together, Seuss says; everyone’s important.

Or, as Horton puts it: “A person’s a person, no matter how small.”This children’s classic — a plangent plea for kids’ rights — was the source material for a 1. TV cartoon by the great Warner Bros. Chuck Jones. In the feature version from Blue Sky Studios, directors Jimmy Hayward (a veteran Pixar animator) and Steve Martino elaborated on the TV show’s designs to develop a dense, gorgeously goofy Who- ville — a town whose bright colors and sweetly tilting towers might have been dreamed up on a peyote- munching jag by Antonio Gaudi and Red Grooms. Who- ville’s daft architectural logic makes a comely contrast to the jungle lushness of Nool.) As the faithful elephant and the cheerfully addled, increasingly desperate mayor, Carrey and Carell do inspired voice work. Though there are enough clever gags to entertain the most demanding media- savvy toddler, Horton remains faithful to the Seuss spirit, 1.

Blue Sky produced the Ice Age franchise, whose first three films have earned nearly $2 billion in movie houses worldwide, and this year’s color- and- comedy riot Rio, but Horton is still the studio’s peak achievement. Watch it now. Po (voiced by Jack Black) dreams of martial- arts glory: defeating the legendary Furious Five kung fu masters in mortal combat. When he wakes, though, he’s just a doughy panda who works in the village noodle shop run by his father — who happens to be a goose, but never mind that for now. Po unaccountably is declared the region’s savior and put under the tutelage of the sage Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) — not to battle the Furious Five but to team with them to defeat a Voldemorty beast who’ll be breaking out of prison any day now. Taking as their source the same Hong Kong martial- arts films that inspired both Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the oaf- becomes- a- hero plot of Stephen Chow’s 2. Kung Fu Hustle, directors John Stevenson and Mark Osborne devised a master course in cunning visual art and satisfying entertainment: the best and ultimate Dream. Works feature. If Pixar is the ring bearer of the classic Disney style and uplifting temperament, Jeffrey Katzenberg’s Dream.

Works Animation studio is an update of the zany Warner Bros. Pixar films might aspire to (and achieve) universal art; Dream. Works reminds the movie industry that “animated feature” is just a fusty phrase for “cartoon.” There’s no question which studio is more influential. Dream. Works’ vaudeville vibe, first paraded in the Shrek series, directly infiltrated animated films from Ice Age to Despicable Me and plenty more. Panda seasons the Katzenberg recipe with a splendid kinetic elegance in the fight scenes — kung- furious panda- monium — and trumps it with the contemplative message that strength and discipline can’t be taught but instead must be discovered within.

A wise heart matches the movie’s art. Watch it now. Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan. Anime, the Japanese form of cartooning, has yielded far more animated features in its 4. From this teeming, often dark and astonishingly sophisticated output, Satoshi Kon’s last completed film is one of the most forbidding and beguiling. It’s an R- rated psychological detective story about a machine, the DC Mini, that offers the key to unlock the meaning of dreams — even as animation is, in a way, the key to unlock the feeling of dreams. A police detective hopes to solve a murder by telling his dreams to the sexy Paprika, who is also a staid researcher named Atsuko. They are aided or threatened by the usual sci- fi- noir suspects, but the plot is so complicated, it’s best not to worry about parsing it and just go with the seductively somnambulist flow, which is where the movie finds its true life.

Paprika alternates dream with reality, or abruptly fuses the two, until the detective, and the viewer, can’t tell them apart.
