Obscure animated films

[ciro64]

Post obscure animation films, bonus points if it has stuff that isn't really suitable for children.



The Triplets of Belleville is a french film with a granny protagonist and her old dog. The entire movie has like 2 lines of dialogue but PLEASE watch with subtitles because the dialogues count.

It's very unique, one of my favorite movies ever and I rewatch it from time to time.

Not much to warn about it expect a the stereotyped african woman explicitly naked at the beginning, guns and a occasional dark moment, and possibly tears from you.

You absolutely owe it to yourself to watch this if you really want obscure hidden gems. It’s really fucking old which just really adds to the novelty. It’s also surreal cuz it’s weird seeing such a deliberately different take on the LOTR mythos.

Won’t change your life or anything but it is a nice break from its mainstream counterpart. This is shockingly underground stuff.

Also worth giving a go if you’re someone trying to get back into western high fantasy stuff but can’t find something that attracts that particular itch in movie form.

This one’s kinda obscure for me because not everyone is into Warhammer 40k.

I’ll give it a look. I may not get much out of it due to how little I know about W40K, but this could serve as an introduction!

Unicorn Wars is animated like a kids show but is absolutely not for children. It's visually reminiscent of Happy Tree Friends but unlike that IP, it's a dark, allegorical tale that deals with toxic family dynamics, wartime propaganda and genocide. Worth a watch but be warned, it's violent and depressing.

Lee Hardcastle does claymation horror, too! He even made an unofficial sequel to this video. I was introduced to his work through the following video, Spook Train: Curtains. When I saw it, it was uncensored but unfortunately, YT's demonitization practices have hit his channel hard.

EDIT: I'm replacing the censored version of Spook Train: Curtains with the full, uncensored cut. For some reason, I can't embed the Vimeo link.

I’m sorry but this is just that Spongebob screaming over rollercoaster gif lmao, some shit you’d put in middle school so people thought you were adult

Not even I could watch the entirety of this. Maybe if you're reaaaally in the mood for a fever dream type-film or have some friends to watch it with? I didn't really think it was entertaining or made much sense though.

this movie traumatized me as a kid, no fucking joke. it was a really rainy day and my mom rented it from the Redbox station at the grocery store. she put it on and the first scene made me cry because the animation was so creepy to me. i had her turn it off and put on Donald Duck cartoons TwT

because of this movie i have a phobia of old school american cartoon animation now. think betty boop, popeye, stuff like that. i know this movie is french but yeah. lol

This looks as if it was entirely animated in Deluxe Paint.

Something like that... or so they say! I accidentally found this for download & I was like "Damn! This must be a hidden treasure!" but upon watching it I probably had the most deadpan stare ever. "Where did I go wrong?"
