So on my recent post debating the merits of CG vs Hand Drawn animation I made the bold statement ‘if I made a list of the most artistic animated movies close to half would be CG’. Well, it got me wondering and it turns out I lied. Only 4 out of my Top 20 Most Artistic Animated Films are CG but that’s not half bad given the medium has been around way less time.
To me each of these 20 films are artistic masterpieces and stunning however they are drawn or created. Art is completely subjective so I thought it would be kind of futile for me to try and explain what I think is beautiful or artistic. I will just let the images speak for themselves. If you haven’t seen any of these movies I highly recommend it.
Since again art is in the eye of the beholder please share with me your lists instead of merely critiquing mine (I mean what am I going to say ‘I think it is stunning and you don’t and there you have it).
