JOURNAL STARTS HERE
Since I saw a post asking for suggestions on FB I thought I'd also share some here and my opinion of them! Feel free to add your own or give your opinion of any of them in the comments!
I'm keeping away from Human characters who have animal ears and tail maybe claws but otherwise look Human, and Ghibli/Disney stuff cause everyone knows Ghibli/Disney, and not mentioning CG just. just 2D animation. And including animals that talk (though may not be understood by humans) and humans who turn into and spend a significant time as animals.
Anime
- Gingitsune from what i remember was very good. Though I cant remember much. Slice of life anime.
- Both Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed are decent. I havent watched all of GNG. Though the opening is my jam love me that 80's anime song vibe
- The Life of Guskou Budori is a VERY good movie. Lovely style and super good story!
- Night on the Galactic Railroad is in the same style (actually came before Life of Guskou, it's another 80's thing based on a 1930's book) and pretty good though a little confusing (at least to me) kinda feels like you need to be high to understand half of it.
- Jungle Taitei (called Kimba the White Lion/Leo the Lion in america I think) another 80's anime/movies (though there was a 2009 movie) more aimed at kids but very cute!
- Chirin no Suzu (Ringing Bell) Is a sanrio (aimed at kids?) movie another 80's one, VERY good imo though a lil creepy in places considering it's target audience.
- Arashi no Yoru Ni (One Stormy Night) (the animated one not the CG one) is another kids movie but VERY sweet. I adore it.
- Wolf's Rain who ain't seen this by now it's practically a must. One of my favourites.
- Wolf Children so beautiful and heartbreaking movie. I adored this one and it damn near made me cry.
- Bakemono no Ko (the Boy and the Beast) this was a REALLY good movie. has a really good plot and momentum and really draws you in.
These I haven't seen but will probably watch soon-ish:
- Spring & Chaos inspired by the poet who wrote the original story for Night on the Galactic Railroad
- Buta
- Shirokuma Cafe
Non-Anime
Lets get some of these outta the way lol, Most of these are just talking animal characters because outside of Disney/Anime I haven't seen ANY more humanoid anthro characters.
- Balto still holds up fairly well these days.
- Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron this was one of my favs a kid (I had a lot of favs as a kid lol)
- The Last Unicorn I LOVE this movie so much. It's so charming.
- Watership Down Every Brit kid watched this and all of us were scarred by it LMFAO
- The Plague Dogs This movie is BEAUTIFUL though can be very disturbing and is very sad. It's by the same author who write the Watership Down book and made by the same animation studio.
- Animals of Farthing Wood I watched this to DEATH as a kid. I loved it. Rewatching it now it doesn't hold up too well and some characters get on my nerves but it's a fond memory
- The Secret of NIHM I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. I used to watch it on repeat as a kid.
- Felidae This is such a weird fucking movie but really good.
Ok I lied about mentioning Disney films I HAVE to add Oliver and Company because it's my FAVE and so under loved compared to all the others.
