What are some real weird animated movies?

[jalapeño ranch]

Not looking for anime recs. I'm a fan of the old school 2D style animation.

Stuff like this.

[gauchebag]

Fantastic Planet was the first one that came to mind

Criterionchannel usually has one or two of these LEAVING every month.

The Point was a p good one.
I wish I could remember what more of these random movies were called damn might have to go consult the logs

Kirikou ones are more modern but real good.

[The Bee (from nature)]

Bakshi

Quasi at the Quakadero

[pig ignorant]

It's Such a Beautiful Day

[The Bee (from nature)]

Soviet the Hobbit is all killer no filler for sure

[the sequel]

during the peak of the pandemic there was a show called the ambiguity program that just aired weird cartoons, it ruled

There was another really bonkers Soviet bloc cartoon animated in kind of a similar style except less technically accomplished and more insnane that I've only seen excerpts from but I can't find it again.

Asparagus

Wait this is the one I was thinking of. Awesome.

does bill plympton count as weird? or is that just good

[David Lobster Wallets]

I have this hungarian film saved in a playlist on youtube but haven't gotten around to watching it:

[David Lobster Wallets]

This probably isn't weird on a narrative level but does have pretty unique animation:

[kudzers]

soviet animation is always interesting to me

[rixx]

[Brojack]

Haunted me for 30 years before I found it again

[manvstrees]

oh my god yes

[Bad Craziness]

technically an anime recommendation but anyone who’s seen it will understand that it’s really in its own separate category

Mind Game

[odilon redon]

cool world

[Pris]

[creamline bling]

it’s stop motion but the brothers quay still gives me nightmares. extremely well done

[soundslike]

Not gonzo-weird, more just unusual but beautiful, but I really love 'Red Turtle' and 'I Lost My Body' (both French) and Yuri Norstein's films.







I remember as a kid really loving Bill Blympton's "Your Face" and others of his.



I guess it's not "weird" but it is unusually beautiful, 'L'Illisioniste' (French animation based on an unproduced Tati story):

[Ebbnflo]

Bakshi

Was going to come in the thread to say the same thing. Wizards is an all-time great

[Bad Craziness]

I still think about the Scottish wedding from The Illusionist often

[gskrap]

does stop motion qualify?
