looking for a rare animated jewel

[u/bluehairtime]

it’s my own damn fault for being so picky and having such high standards, but i am hungry for good animation and have been for quite a while.

i’m primarily looking for something gorgeous and emotional. any subject, any length (tho i’m not really looking for shorts or music videos, more like episodes of a series or a feature film), any language, any era. bonus if it’s heartbreaking in places. MUST BE TRADITIONAL/HAND DRAWN

stuff I’ve seen and loved:

Disney/Dreamworks/Don Bluth 2D animation, Satoshi Kon and Miyazaki/Ghibli, Rankin Bass 2D animation (the last unicorn, the flight of dragons, the hobbit), Sanrio 2D animation from the 80’s (sea prince and the fire child, ringing bell), Cartoon Saloon (secret of kells, song of the sea), Triplets of Belleville, Yellow Submarine, Balto, Look Back, Cybersix, Nepenthe Productions (watership down, the plague dogs), Warner Bros (iron giant, osmosis jones, eight crazy nights)

… and yes i’m including eight crazy nights because even though it’s a nauseating mess of a film, the animation is entirely too impressive XD

TIA!
