Animation - cartoons to features and everything inbetween

Luxo Jr - Pixar


When CGI grew up in the best way possible. In case you don't know, Luxo is the brand of angle-poise lamp modelled which is the only one that anyone who worked at a drawing board of some sort used.
 
Family Guy - Seth MacFarlane

Oh yeah, now we're going there. An animated sitcom that shows no shame with comedy as well as a comedy or errors that seem to spark some comedic flames.
Doofus Dad? Check.
Hot Mom/Wife? Check.
Perverted Son (that would put Kintaro Oe from Golden Boy to shame)? Check.
Lame ass Daughter? Check.
Dog with political views and obscured views about women? Check.
Evil genius baby with gay undertones? Check.
 
AD Police Files - Takamasa Ikegami & Akira Nishimori


Set 6 years before the events of Bubblegum Crisis, AD Police Force follows three different, unique stories about the elite AD Police force. This OVA mainly focuses on AD Police Officer, Leon McNichol, the future rival and love interest of Knight Saber Priscilla Asagiri. A very interesting prequel.
 
Josie and the Pussycats - Warner Bros


Part of that great era of kids cartoons that were inspired to entertain rather than be a merchandising opportunity.
 
Order In The House (Rend A Házban) - Péter Szoboszlay (Presented with the National Film Institute Hungary - Film Archive)


A surrealist satire describing the power that is used to dehumanize and deny individual liberties in the name of order and the common good. In Péter Szoboszlay’s strongly socially critical film, the short is permeated by the stylistic motifs of psychedelic pop-art and hippy Art Nouveau (Think Andy Warhol meets Timothy Leary meets Art Nouveau). The hero is a typical figure of the soft dictatorship, the tyrannical janitor, in the character of which one can almost see the specter of fascist ideology.

As someone who enjoys surrealistic satirizations, I watched this from Start to Finish. The main character does show off as a figure of a proverbial double-edged sword as a dual sided dictator (soft dictatorship and tyrannical) where one does see the spectrum of fascism. (After one watches the short animation many times and make of it what they will). I suggest this short animation for anyone who has five minutes to kill.

Another inspired selection and another for me to enjoy for the first time. One of my top fave directors is the Hungarian Béla Tarr, if you haven't seen his "Werckmeister Harmonies" It may be of interest for you. Not an animation but does touch on your stated themes (though not a lot to laugh at its still a caustic rebuke of power) with exquisite cinematography, utilising numerous full camera film roll length shots*. Now back to animation.

Wizards (a montage) - Ralph Bakshi


Bakshi's best film, showing how easy it can be for the fascist mechanisms of power to be taken up anew for control.

*after writing this I decided to watch it again, so there's a scene plus brief blurble about it in the 'latest movie' thread

11 Less evil facts about Poppycock - Mitsi Studio


Just recently found these guys and are well worth a dig into.

Umm, is everyone seeing "Poppycock" instead of you know who? Is this just some setting I'm missing or just some weird bit of censorship going on with the site?
