Did we miss any animated movies you thought were ahead of their time? Let us know below, and be sure to also check out our video of the Top 10 Animated Movie Scenes That We'll Never Forget: ua-cam.com/video/RM9E-pkB4yM/v-deo.htmlsi=B8FTjHeexoTcM-NG
I suppose "Fantasia" anticipated music videos by a few decades, but for a more precise translation of that vibe, I'd go for "Melody Time" or "Make Mine Music." I'll day this much, an operatic whale beats the stuffing out of sorcerer Mickey!
While I don’t think it’s ahead of the time, I do think Zootopia is another one of these movies that really has become even more relevant in the most recent years. The lessons it taught back in time were important, but are even more touched upon in todays world.
The fact that it came out in 2016 of all years definitely contributes to that. A hundred years from now, film schools will still be talking about DeSantis's war on Disney and the professor will pause Zootopia over and over to say "And remember, this was made BEFORE Trump".
Snow white and the seven dwarfs should have gotten an honorable mention at the very least. Basically no one thought it was a good idea for Disney to make a full length animated feature. But he did it anyway. So without it, a lot or possibly all of these films would have never been made
They did mention that technological innovations would get its own list, maybe that will go there? I agree it definitely needs to be included in the conversation!
The fact that it was only a drop and not even an honorable mention is just disappointing. Like Secret Of Nimh it contains dark themes including the death and grief at the death of a parent, the animation was fantastic for the time, and its subtle nuance regarding racial prejudices ( dinosaurs sticking to their own herds) and the hope that children might be able to do what their elders couldn’t when left to their own devices.
Don't forget that "The Brave Little Toaster" was basically "Toy Story" eight years earlier. The fact that both screenplays were written by Joe Ranft couldn't have been a coincidence.
So true! It should've been included on the list. It also should've won an award at the 1995 Oscar's for best animated film just like Shrek won an Oscar the year it came out. And just like Shrek it should have gotten inducted into the National movie registry.
They didn't want to worry about that. They wanted to virtue signal about movies that pushed boundaries - or apparently based on their comments, focused on "diversity" in external appearances while echoing the monoculture's conformity.
@@AndyMiller_windskisong - They said right at the beginning of the video they weren't including movies that were ahead of their time in terms of technology and were having a separate list for those movies. Am I the only one who pays any attention here? lol...
I heard that Jeffrey Katzenberg tried to get Robin Williams to quit FernGully and focus on Aladdin (being an environmentalist, of course Robin refused).
Really love the picks here, and I'm happy to see some less often remembered films like Ferngully and Cats don't dance get noticed. But I'd argue "Animal Farm" (1954) & "Watership Down" (1973) were miles ahead of presenting dark material through the medium.
I mentioned brother Bear that movie has a darker tone and better story. Even though I do like Big Hero 6 Brother Bear was way ahead of its time with the Native American culture and teaching us that there are consequences on both sides when losing someone.
It was certainly a part of brother bear, but I would argue the greater focus was on perspective, realizing that they were as frightening to the bears as the bears were to them. Big Hero 6 takes a more head on approach to grief, having Hiro learn how to cope with his brother’s death, and also how to keep his brother’s spirit alive through himself. Both good movies though.
Akira should have been an Honorable Mention. I've never seen anything like it when it came out in 1988, and it was pretty much the blueprint on what Japanese Anime is today. Animated studios still pay homage to the film by adding Kaneda's motorcycle slide to their movies or shows.
How come The Swann Princess is not mentioned at all? Not only she was one of those princesses who basically saved herself, instead of waiting for rescue....but listen, there's more! She was literally groomed to marry Prince Derek, years of efforts and planning for both of those countries... And when he messed up and she said "Sorry, NO . I'm not marrying you if you only care about my looks", EVERYONE ACCEPTED THAT AND DOESN'T EVEN TRIED TO PUSH HER AGAINST HER WILL. The king only asked her what she was hoping for the prince to say. Also, the main villain didn't force her into marrying him, although that was his whole plan. He was trying to make her agree with it herself. THAT was one woman empowering and consent centered animated movie!
From a retrospective I find Odette and Derek’s change of dynamic from rivals to lovers to be a bit weird. But doesn’t fully take away the pretty picture the movie is.
@@manuelorozco7760 I saw it as a character development. They knew eachother their whole life so even the "love on first sight" wasn't too unrealistic... I had that too once just like this: a sudden switch went on and I saw that person in a completely different light. But when Derek made Odette feel like he only care for her looks (because men are rarely that good with sweet words on the spot), she outed in a bit of rage, I think. But the hardship they faced brought them back together in the end. He was an idiot sometimes but who isn't. In the end, he would go above and beyond for her and that is what she wanted in the first place: for him to see her as a person.
Just a SECOND of that land before time scene and I am in tears, even after all this time! Phenomenal music and voice acting, with the rain and moody lighting, and all that, god. So well done.
Thanks for acknowledging "One Stormy Night" in your honorable mentions. The best movie discovery I made during the pandemic, and a media rabbit hole I loved falling deeper into for many days afterward. (The TV show is fine, and I wish the last five of the books had English translations.) Who'd have thought the love between a goat and a wolf could power you through even the worst of life's hard times?
@@marionneary1128 Same here-not just Littlefoot losing his mother and sinking into depression, but also the death of the VA of the character that broke Littlefoot out of his depression: Ducky.
In my opinion, “Dumbo”. Sure, there are a couple aspects about it that are controversial, but I believe that the movie was ahead of its time in depicting just how cruel the circus could be for animals. Jumbo’s mother was taken away from we son and labeled as “mad” even though she was just protecting her son, and Jumbo is left alone even though he is just a baby.
Dumbo could also be considered Disney's first foray into the issue of race, and e fact that it is basically black Americans who are most able to help Dumbo, because they are the ones most likely to understand his plight.
What about Fantasia? That movie came out in 1940, and showcased how well animation and music go hand in hand, using classic music pieces like the Nutcracker Suite, and Night on Bald Mountain. Each segment were the most earliest forms of music videos, way before they were even such a thing. One of the segments in the movie, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, is also home to one of Mickey Mouse's most iconic appearances. The sorcerer's hat, red robe, and slippers. Who agrees that it should've been on the list?
If you need to see yourself in a fictional character to validate yourself than you are weak. Many people can relate to characters who don't look like them, because of their journey. A lot of people relate to Peter Parker Spiderman and Batman.
I love Big Hero 6! But Ferngully was one of my first movies! Two movies you missed were Brother Bear and Pebble And The Penguin. The former for its love vs savagery conflict through the eyes of bears and the latter because it’s perhaps the first mainly penguin cast in feature animation!
You missed a few things... For Cats Don't Dance, it had an amazing soundtrack and was the last film to be choreographed by the great Gene Kelly. For Ferngully, it had a direct to VHS sequel that continued the same message, and there is a longer version of Toxic Love easily searchable. I'm also surprised that only The Land Before Time was the only Don Bluth film on the list, and that Shrek was the only Dreamworks film.
So glad to see Secret of NIMH on there! One of my favorites from childhood, even if it made me afraid of cats for a little while... But still, I've always wanted a sparkly of my very own!
I'm sure some of Miyazaki's animations were ahead of their time. For example, I suspect "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" and "Grave of the Fireflies" were ahead of their time.
Grave of the Fireflies (1988) One of the most heartbreaking animated films ever. It shows the horror of war through the eyes of children making it one of the most powerful anti war films, of any medium, ever made.
I would have added Brother Bear to this list because it is about losing a loved ones but also seeing from both sides of the situation. I always compare it to Bambi and Tarzan.
@@manuelorozco7760 when I tell people about Brother Bear I tell them it’s a mix between those two movies. However I too enjoy Brother Bear over the other two movies.
Megamind was ahead of its time because of Hal Stewart’s character, and when he got power like Metro Man. Frozen is another possible option due to Hans’ real intentions and deception of Anna which has happened frequently over the years.
Why did you do that to me adding the that scene from The Land Before Time? I am emotionally destroyed 😭😭😭 Also the fact that Wall-e came out the same year I graduated high school blows my mind 😮😮
before animated films like Apollo11 1/2 and Over the Moon, there was the underappreciated animated film CAPTURE THE FLAG, as another film ahead of its time
FernGully, to this day, is still underappreciated. No animated movie has ever done a better job at encouraging environmentalism, and it helps that the villain is literally pollution personified.
The son of the white mare should have been on this list. It was ahead of its time due to establishing itself as a form of art due to his psychedelic the animation was. This film from Hungary was severely underrated and it didn’t become more well known in the us until 2020
Did they say why Shrek was the #1 animated movie "ahead of its time"?...I only heard "it's real impact on the film industry"...which--I guess according to the video--was that it included "references", occasional risque humor, and entertained adults without slighting children. But movies like Aladdin and The Emperor's New Groove had already done all of that, so Shrek couldn't have been ahead of its time if those are the only reasons given. Oh, and it said Shrek had a good soundtrack...which in reality only included small snippets of songs at the very end. Also, being the first movie to win Best Animated Film doesn't even slightly qualify as making it "ahead of it's time"...
MsMojo do your research please. Mulan is a very old Chinese story so young Chinese girls ALWAYS had Mulan, she's part of their culture. Disney just brought an animated version of her to the rest of the world.
Yet Shrek doesn't pay any tribute to their original actor, Chris Farley. He had the part, had his entire part recorded and then died, then Mike Myers replaced him as if nothing happened.
A good fraction of those cartoons from the Golden Age had things that would not fly with today's censors: gambling, smoking, racial stereotypes, etc. Those cartoons were also first shown in movie theatres along with other comedy shorts and news reels before the feature was finally presented and everyone who could afford it went to the movies to catch the buzz. This was an entire century in the past. Also, a lot of anime were written for adults (e.g. One Piece).
Ferngully wasn’t “ahead of its time”. It was just another over expensive preachy “save the planet” PSA commercial whose animation style rivals that of don bluth
I really hate when people talk about Disney's Mulan as though it is about transgenderism. Yes, Mulan fails to fit a stereotypical ideal. Yes, she disguises herself as a boy. But at the end of the day, she is still a woman, even if she is a somewhat unconventional one.

Where to start, Animal Farm, Watership Down, Heavy Metal, Yellow Submarine, The Hobbit, and The Last Unicorn.
Plague Dogs, The Fireflies Tomb, Aikiro 1988, Felidae 1994 , Transformers the Movie 1985 is unique also because has the voice of Orson Wells!!! 😊
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Grave of the Fireflies
Fantastic Planet, Fritz the Cat, Akira, Ghost in the Shell
I suppose "Fantasia" anticipated music videos by a few decades, but for a more precise translation of that vibe, I'd go for "Melody Time" or "Make Mine Music." I'll day this much, an operatic whale beats the stuffing out of sorcerer Mickey!
These movies were more than just ahead of their time, Some of them also played a huge part in forging our childhood!
"The Breadwinner" absolutely yanked on my heartstrings. I read the book for school, and found it incredibly moving. Definitely an underrated film.
Yeah! It should have won the Oscar for best animated feature
Fern Gully has some beautiful songs. Krista was a misfit, but she was the one that her people needed.
FernGully indeed has such beautiful songs and heart-warming music, the kind of songs and music we don't hear much of anymore.
@@dreamguardian8320 I also love the songs from Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service.
Plus, Robin Williams 😂
@@willasyn3136 That's right.
"Cats Don't Dance," "Ferngully," and "The Black Cauldron" were childhood favorites of mine.
i think the prince of egypt should have been added, that movie was definitely ahead of its time

You can't just drop Littlefoot's dying mom in a vid outta nowhere like that. Got my grown ass crying in the middle of the day.
Do you feel better knowing that Littlefoot killed the one responsible for his mother's death? Because I do.
If we hold on... together... 🎶
Likewise.
Littlefoot: You killed my mother, Sharptooth...
Sharptooth: **Snarls**
Littlefoot: Prepare to be extinct.

I’m a bigger fan of Toy Story. But I can’t believe it
Worthless!
Nah. The Christmas Toy predates Toy Story.
Toy Story was also one of those films that was well ahead of it's time for being the very first fully computer animated film ever made.
So true! It should've been included on the list. It also should've won an award at the 1995 Oscar's for best animated film just like Shrek won an Oscar the year it came out. And just like Shrek it should have gotten inducted into the National movie registry.

I heard that too, minus the environmentalist part.
A fair bit of the cast did both movies.
Both equally good movies! Ferngully introduced me to Robin’s talent
Robin was great in both movies.
Really love the picks here, and I'm happy to see some less often remembered films like Ferngully and Cats don't dance get noticed.
But I'd argue "Animal Farm" (1954) & "Watership Down" (1973) were miles ahead of presenting dark material through the medium.
Big Hero 6: I dealt with grieving the lost of a brother. 😔
Brother Bear: Are you serious right now? 😑
I mentioned brother Bear that movie has a darker tone and better story. Even though I do like Big Hero 6 Brother Bear was way ahead of its time with the Native American culture and teaching us that there are consequences on both sides when losing someone.
It was certainly a part of brother bear, but I would argue the greater focus was on perspective, realizing that they were as frightening to the bears as the bears were to them.

What about "Heavy Metal" showing how various animation styles could be blended into a movie?
Akira should have been an Honorable Mention. I've never seen anything like it when it came out in 1988, and it was pretty much the blueprint on what Japanese Anime is today. Animated studios still pay homage to the film by adding Kaneda's motorcycle slide to their movies or shows.
Paprika too. Not nearly enough Anime on this list.
Glad that Big Hero 6 is on the list. It surprises me that almost nobody talks about it.
I know how you feel! It should have been big as Frozen this past decade.

Let’s be honest here, without these movies and their animators, we would not be who we are today!!!
Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire are GREAT examples too!

Fern Gully was my favorite animated film when I was a kid
The Heavy Metal movie (1981) should be on this list...
I'n pretty sure some people remember Ferngully for a different reason 😉
It was one of my first movies. Besides the environmental issue, it introduced me to teen love, bittersweet ending and a variety of music styles
Ahead of their time, yes.

I have so many Watchmojo, Msmojo and other videos to catch up on along with movies, games, TV and much more. A huge backlog.

Entertain people, don't lecture us.
13:03 MLP/MLP: EG Pinkie Pie as Ariel and Cheese Sandwich as Eric
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembered Fern Gully
You show clips of them, but come on, "Fantasia" and "Yellow Submarine" deserved more than just that!
So many good animated films I didn’t know existed. My watch list is going to get a little bit longer.
Treasure planet should have been on the list
spirit is unique as imo I've never seen a movie that gives it from an animals pov/inner monologue it's brilliant
What about Once Upon a Forest?
It taught kids about the debilitating nature of rheumatism.
Pokémon the first movie aged well
Cool list
I’m a bit upset that there could be some people who like Shrek cuz of the memes and not for its actual humor and message
FernGully, to this day, is still underappreciated. No animated movie has ever done a better job at encouraging environmentalism, and it helps that the villain is literally pollution personified.
Who else knew the fact that Hexxus was voiced by Tim Curry?
I’m surprised Robin Williams voiced Batty and Genie in the same year. And Ferngully was one of my first movies
Really like big hero 6 but villian felt a bit weak the random twist was meh and if heiro actually killed him I think I wouldved like it a bit more.
The Black Cauldron NEEDS to be remade. With Today's sensibilities it could be brilliant If you make a sequel to this list add in Wizards, and Felidae
