Any great animated films I might've missed?

Recently, something has brought back my interest in animation, both mainstream and arthouse, so I'm planning a review marathon. The problem is, I want to end it on a high note, and I've already reviewed the only animated film I'd rate a 10/10 (Fantastic Mr. Fox). I already have plenty of interesting films to review, but I'm looking for something that'll really knock me out of my socks.


I've already seen
-all Pixar and Dreamworks movies, among which there are nines, but no tens (The Incredibles came dangerously close)
-Fantasia and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (I've written off other Disney movies as "not for me")
-American Pop
-Mary and Max
-L'illusioniste (great) and The Triplets of Belleville (meh)
-all Laika movies
-Persepolis
-South Park:Bigger Longer & Uncut
-Akira
-Spirited Away, princess mononoke and The Wind Rises, and after all these I don't expect miyazaki to do it for me
-Paprika
-Spider-Verse
-Rango
-A Scanner Darkly
-Heavy Metal
-Waltz with Bashir (which clinched it for my new least favourite movie)


In my backlog:
-Chico & Rita
-Watership Down
-Felidae
-A cat in Paris
-Waking Life


I wouldn't consider these half-animated films like Rorger Rabbit to be "animated". I consider them to be their own category, but for the record, Švankmajer's Faust was excellent



Welcome to the human race...
Ghost in the Shell
Satoshi Kon's other films
Don Hertzfeldt's films (e.g. Rejected, World of Tomorrow, It's Such A Beautiful Day)
When the Wind Blows

I second all of this, and urge you to make Watership Down a priority.

I would add:
Grave of the Fireflies
Emperor's New Groove
(I know you said no Disney, but I think this one is great)
Fantastic Planet
I Lost My Body
The Last Unicorn
Song of the Sea
Secret of Kells
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Kirikou and the Sorceress
Adventures of Prince Achmed
Wrinkles
The Amazing Screw-On Head
The Pied Piper/Krysar
Blood Tea and Red String



That elusive hide-and-seek cow is at it again
Maybe Kai doh Maru. It is a very soft and minimal animation though, in direction, length, acting, and design. I fell in love with it within the first few minutes. I let a friend borrow my DVD years ago and never saw it again.
