“Animation is almost as old as the medium [of film] itself, starting (perhaps) with Fantasmagorie in 1908,” writes Daniel Walber at Film. “And with the somewhat garish Turbo racing into theaters…it’s important to remember that animation is a lot more than what most audiences are sold these days.” Hence Walber’s admittedly subjective list of the 10 most beautiful animated films of all time, which includes Isao Tokahata’s Grave of the Fireflies (1998); Henry Selick’s Coraline (2009); René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973); Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke (1977); and Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1922).
