Not a huge amount about Animated films on the website,from what i've seen.Which non-American animations have you most enjoyed?I'd like to recommend The Mascot(1933),by Starewicz,which would seem to have influenced The Wrong Trousers (superb,but already well-known)and The Nightmare before Chistmas.At least,certain similarities struck me.Also,for something distinctly weird,try Street of Crocodiles,by the British-based,but Czech-influenced Americans,the Quay twins.Svankmajer animations are also unusual,surreal.Opinions please on the Japanese Ghibli films.I understand Laputa:Castles in the Sky,Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbour Totoro are probably the best.(I've seen Princess Mononoke).Is this right?They've been unavailable in Britain.
