Rango for laughs. Stunning sets, great lighting and shadow (like when Rango first walks into the town bar) and voice characters and all the Easter Eggs and tributes in the animation to other famous films.

Secret of NIMH for traditional non computer generated animation. Very dark story line... not for children. Will mentally bother most normal people and cause you to have deep thoughts later.
