@@xunto.vorlov by foreign, the title probably means non-american and non-japanese because there are already videos filled up with shots from Disney and japanese anime
I love how there is that style of drawing and animation that you can immediately notice as European. They have existed from the earliest days of newspaper art and have evolved till today's big budget movies. Especially the shadowing of characters and the use of colors.
“A drawing is the purest form of art, whether you are old or young, man or woman, black or white or blue or green, the things we draw are the closest we will come to representing our dreams and thoughts. If drawings are the purest form of art, then animation is the purest form of storytelling…”
This is why I think foreign films (American here) is exceedingly meeting much more critical acclaim than what the US could produce now, especially with how all plastic looking much of animated movies look. That’s not to say that they’re poorly designed, but it’s refreshing to see something not completely made by computers and nice to see it hand drawn Edit: also just wanted to add that another problem with the American animation industry is that they don’t like to produce animations unless it’s: Childrens movies aimed at younger audiences or trashy adult comedies in the vein of family guy or whatever, where as foreign movie studios use them to tell more mature and adult stories
Or handmade stop motion. I'd recommend pinchcliffe grand pri if you enjoy that kinda stuff. (And not because of national bias, none of that whatsoever)
I completely agree with that edit, one thing i love about my country (France) is that animated movies and shows always had mature storyline even if it was for children.
Non-Japanese Non-American animation is pretty much unknown. That's a shame since some countries do some really good movies, France in particular pulls out outstanding works and most of this video shows french films
Let's be honest, Oscars are worthless. They were supposed to make the competition grow and be competitive, but it has become as stagnant as the american cartoons are nowadays. The constant has shifted from "Valuing the greatest and most creative movie of the year" into a "guess which big company gets the prize".
@@mrbackup993 Awards shows in general. They'll never give an award that's not made by American's, making it entirely biased. I still remember Your Name lost to Boss Baby.
@@koolkid9119 if Japan isn't the king of animation then I'm eager to know who you have in mind. They must be legendary if they somehow surpass the country that made Akira
@@SuperGman117 Anime is medium, what you just said could be said about any other medium. A "fucking disgrace" is what you see because you're not looking at the bigger picture and you're picking the trends that suit your bias. I'm still waiting to know who this one of a kind king of animation is according to you guys. The implication is there but I've yet to hear the name of the one who's beating Japan.
Even though Disney, Pixar, and other American animated movie studios saturate the market with samey, sanitized, big budget products, maybe it's a good thing because it makes foreign film makers innovate and be creative to stand out.
I have seen some of these animated movies, they were truly touching and some even heart-breaking. Including "Persepolis", the story of Marjane Satrapi who had to leave Iran for good after the 1979 revolution. By the way, you seem to have forgotten to add the name "Persepolis" in the description.
thank you for bringing these lovely animations to more people. I've only seen a few of them and am determined to watch all of the others! Also great editing!
i love the fact that nearly every single shot of this video and these movies are aesthetically beautiful and made to be able to see and understand the story even without dialog or audio, it shows how much hidden potential the foreign world has to offer.
I've never seen anyone else mention Azur and Asmar before. That was my favourite childhood movie but I forgot all about it. Thank you so much for bringing that back to me.
I remember watching watership down when I was a kid. The scenes where characters just simply died without warning really shocked me because I had never seen a film with such raw, instantaneous death like that.
I've seen a bunch of horrific stuff when I was a kid like horror movies and games but Watership Down truly did traumatize me for rabbits dying left and right and killing themselves like jeez.
Lol i just started to watch some of these kind of movies after finding our persepolis and the breadwinner, thank you for creating this amazing video that i just found in my recommended after finishing those 2 movies, i hope to watch all of these talented animated movies and thanks for putting out to notice that these films should be recognized and watched
I'm from India, and I've never heard about or seen these animations. But damn they look amazing. It's probably because some are French and European but these far exceed other American Animations in quality. This clearly points it out that the Europeans have been in the Animation Industry far longer than the Chinese and Japanese and still hold some presence there.
This felt surreal... the other animation ones I've seen, I was able to recognize the difference in quality. But this one genuinely triggered nostalgia for me. The short clips of films like Watership Down, Plague Dogs, Felidae and Persepolis brought back so much. I've gotta have a childhood movie marathon someday!
That...that's the kind of animated film that I prefer, because it's the first real animated film that I discovered from my childhood to my life. Not the Disney, Dreamworks, Illumination and others so yes I saw some from the start, but it's clearly his foreign films that I watched the most that I got the most attached to his universes that enters much better 2d-animation style. There is one of my favorite films in this list which for me is the perfect animation for one day an upcoming personal project.
От этих мультфильмов несет какой то совсем иной вайб , у них какая то своя отмосфера, когда смотришь понимаешь что это не будет как мультфильмы от дисней, дримворкс и т.д У каждой интресная рисовка/анимация , обожаю такие мульфильмы
I remember when I stumbled on Birdboy's starting scene on some local channel one night I was awake and bored at 1 am. Man, that was a dark, twisted, crushing yet hopeful emotional rollercoaster that I didn't expect.
What’s crazy is all my life, I have felt a connection to Europe. I’ve dreamt of living in Ireland or Scotland specifically. And now there seems to be a booming animation industry in Ireland, at least more than before most likely due to studios like Cartoon Saloon. I’m an incoming animation major who starts my journey in five days. It feels like I’m being driven to go to a place like Ireland in the future, and live out my dreams of being a story artist.
thanks for adding "Gatta cenerentola". Finaly someone recognise the modern italian animation and the wonderfull work of Alessandro Rak and Mad entrateinment
shoulda shown the really beautiful part of wolfwalkers where the golden wolf spirits make a ying yang spiral and its really smooth and satysfying to watch
even if its only just a few short moments, im so glad that fantastic planet is getting even a sliver of the recognition it deserves, that movie is killer. same thing with loving vincent, which is one of my favourite movies ever
I remember watching "Azur & Asmar" when I was small and it was and still is so good. It feels like childish dream with such a unique style and a story that is basically a fairy tale.
I’m French, and I’m so glad to see so many movies that have built my childhood and who I am today. Azur et Asmar, Kirikou, Le Roi et L’oiseau, Ma Vie de Courgette, Persepolis, Ernest et Célestine, the movie about a mute kid who sees the ghost of someone in coma, Josep, Le Sommet des dieux, the movie about a blonde girl who travels to one of the poles in search of her father… Too many emotions and good memories.
Hey there! Although I enjoyed the video, I really wish that the amazing Nahuel And The Magic Book was in it! Also, do you know the name of the movie scene at 0:47? Just curious.
amazing compilation! just a quick question, what are the movies at 0:18 (the swordsmen one) and 0:36 (the one with all the armed people wearing gas masks)? they look real interesting!
It's a somewhat cool scene in an ontherwise very boring movie. The movie was made out of a comic which is wayyyy better and has the same art style. Go get it if you can find it in english "Le chat du rabbin" or "The Rabbi's cat". Takes place in 1930's Algeria.
man i love so many of these movies something about foreign animation makes it so much better also love that there was a canadian film and i guess that makes sense coming from an american pov
Funny to see "foreign animation" when some of them are beloved childhood memory for so many people in my country (France)

Its time to ditch Oscars for anything.
Oscars do not have any inherent value other then just a shiny statue of nothing significant.
Absolutely stoked to see Tom Moore’s stuff here. “The Secret of Kells” and “Song of the Sea” have been two of my favorite movies since I was a kid
Wolfwalkers is a masterpiece

The Secret Of Kells always had me.
im glad that "foreign" didn't just mean japanese. even if they are the so-called kings of animation, there's still so much talent everywhere else.

Foreign Animation is really underreated and overlooked. It deserves more love for sure.
Traditional animation literally still one of greatest earlier version and even a legendary type of of animations.no wonder it doesn't die
the breadwinner was my favorite, both klaus and the breadwinner, ive read the book and watched the movie and it's absolutely beautiful
the breadwinner is a plagiarism of an afganistani film. That film deserves 0 recognition
Breadwinners on nickelodeon

I watched so many of these at school (brazilian speaking) its great to see all of these different expressions of art on a comp like this
Italy and France literally gave childhood to the most of the girls
i love the fact that nearly every single shot of this video and these movies are aesthetically beautiful and made to be able to see and understand the story even without dialog or audio, it shows how much hidden potential the foreign world has to offer.

Nice to see a frame from birdboy, that movie is so underrated it's painful. Seriously go watch it when you can, you will not be dissapointed
