AniNate Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The little-seen "9" also is worth mentioning. It's pretty hollow and shapeless as a film, but its relentlessly grim yet absorbing visuals remain unique in an industry reliant on bright and happy tones.

eXtacy Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 As far as Japan animation goes this one is absolutely beautiful, and a great film too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Wreck-It Ralph. For the sheer diversity in visuals represented by the different games and video arcade locations. Really love the character work in the film too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingdong123 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Tangled. One of the most beautiful animated films EVER. The soft detail works, while the 3D/CGI looks makes it eye-popping. Don't even start on the highly gorgeous, glorious lantern scene. Everything is magic. Frozen can't even hold a candle to it tbh. Monsters University and Cars are highly excellent for the rigorous amount of detail they both contain. Rise of the Guardians is also glorious like Tangled. The color palletes, the details, the entire look. It's perfection tbh. It's just terrible how it flopped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Idk, Finding Nemo I guess when you consider it was animated in the early 2000's and included water, which is probably the hardest thing to animate, plus hundreds of sea creatures and plants, and then also Sydney. Yeah the humans were pretty plain jane, but the rest of the movie had immense detail that was ahead of its time. Weve had some other great ones though, but I think weve reached a peak. If we get anymore advanced the characters will start to look uncanny and scary. Obviously these movies should include more detail with buildings and plants and cities and land, but please leave the humans how they are...

celticmoon Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Tangled. One of the most beautiful animated films EVER. The soft detail works, while the 3D/CGI looks makes it eye-popping.

The color palletes, the details, the entire look. It's perfection tbh. It's just terrible how it flopped. I agree about Tangled. While Frozen looked great and the snow was impressive, Tangled was just on another level, especially in terms of character animation. Rise of the Guardians looked great, but the poorly animated children really brought it down, I feel. Everything about them, from their designs, movement/animation, and the level of detail paled in comparison with the Guardians and the other fantasy/mythical characters.

eXtacy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Garden of Words is, simply put, the most beautiful animation I have ever seen. Edited October 5, 2014 by eXtacy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asyulus Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Frozen looks cool with the CGI, but the story is plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenUnicorn Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Frozen, Tangled, Legend of the Guardians, How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story 3, Madagascar 3 (particularly the Firework scene). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 One movie that I think has great CGI is Cars 2. I think it is one of the most beautiful looking animated films. If only the movie as a whole was as good as the animation was. I hated that movie so much I don't even remember what the animation looked like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Tangled imo is most beautiful CGI animated film.. just that floating lantern scene alone. other truly beautifully animated films would be Frozen, HTTYD 1 & 2, Legend of the Guardians (even though the movie was so-so). Lego Movie, Kung Fu Panda 2, Shrek, Ratatouille, The Incredibles. Prince of Egypt is one of the Most beautiful animated films I've seen, it's 2D, but it has a lot of 3D visuals in it.

Avatree Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Why has only one person mentioned Shrek?! The animation and detail on the characters is fantastic, especially considering how old the film is, and some of the environments are really beautiful and well designed, with some incredible attention to detail (particularly in Shrek 2). I agree about How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2. Legend of the Guardians is absolutely stunning as well, but really, there's only one winner in my mind: It's easily the most impressive animation I've seen. It mirrors the real toy immaculately, and has lovely free-flowing environments. I look at images of the film and simply cannot believe that they managed to do it. It's astonishing work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I first saw Shrek it was easily the most beautiful CGI animated film I'd seen at the time. and the detail in the animation in Lego movie is insane Edited February 7, 2015 by Kalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
