Where are the animation fans?

I have been a long time fan of animation. Disney is not high on my priority list, but I'll watch some of it. Their Pixar stuff is a bit more interesting to be.

Heavy Metal was one of the classics that got me going. So was Lord of the Rings.

I like some Anime, but wouldn't call myself a hard core fan by any stretch. Love the Ghost in the Shell stuff, and Ninja Scroll.

Right now I've just tracked down some stuff by Ralph Bakshi. Wizards (1977) and Spicy City, a short live HBO show from the 90s.

I like the freedom that animation offers to story telling. There are a few books that I think would make a great animated movie or series, but would likely not work as well as live action.

So, what do you like? Do you have any recommendations?

Maybe we can start an animation pass if there is enough interest.
