An acclaimed and deeply moving war film, sometimes described as Animation's Schindler, and not without reason. Easily Isao Takahata's greatest work, and among Ghibli's greatest.

Brilliant fun, full of the originality and inventiveness that sets Pixar apart. Sadly, the current DVD releases fail to do it justice.

Stunning, stylish CGI animation with a heartwarming story and some great comedy moments.

A brilliant send-up of Superhero comic books that manages to flesh itself out to become far deeper than the stuff it sends up. Acutely directed, a very artistically composed 3D film.

A hell of a lot more clever than you would expect. Whilst the animation is hardly stunning, it is valuable as a send up of many more straight-laced animation productions. Anarchic and Brilliant

A little too episodic perhaps, but this animated Alice plays beautifully to the strengths of the animated medium and does justice to everything it takes from the source material.

A heartwarming and entertaining Christmas story with the three most unlikely - yet likeable - hero(ines) imaginable.

Brilliant if dated Sci-Fi. Reasonably mature for a mecha anime, it sucks you in and keeps you immensely entertained. Sadly not available on UK Region 2 DVD, one can only hope that Beez will release it

A strange look at Japanese social psychology and hysteria. Very interesting though occasionally opaque.

Short and oh so sweet. The Pink Elephants On Parade sequence alone contains several times more imagination than most modern animated feature films.

A straightforward, very fun action anime likened to James Bond. Solidified Hayao Miyazaki's reputation.

Satoshi Kon's most placcid work, it does interesting things with human psychology and tells a wonderful and inspiring story of life and love.
