If you're interested in the latest animated films, here are the top choices: Yuasa, Genndy Tartakovsky, Mamoru Hosoda, Wes Anderson, and more. You can also check out the best animated movies of 2017.

Yuasa

This year's lineup of animated movies includes one of Japan's visionary anime auteurs, Masaaki Yuasa. His film, Lu Over the Wall, is a family-friendly adaptation of the classic fairy tale about a lone mermaid who finds fame in a middle school rock band. Yuasa is the first Japanese film director since Hayao Miyazaki to win a Cristal Award at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France.

Yuasa's films defy conventions and feature a unique art style. His characters are gangly and snow-white, and their appearances are exaggerated. While these characteristics may seem unrealistic, they are meant to create a certain feeling and still look realistic. The same is true of Yuasa's characters, which are often quirky and endearing. While the visuals of Yuasa's animated movies are often not realistic, viewers are likely to find them entertaining.

Yuasa studied under Hayao Miyazaki and Paul Grimault before launching his own career as an animation director. While his work is less related to contemporary anime and more reminiscent of the retro-tinged omnivorousness of John Kricfalusi, Yuasa's art has earned him a unique international audience. His 2014 episode of Adventure Time, "Food Chain", garnered praise and was nominated for an Annie Award.

As one of the most beloved anime directors in history, Yuasa's film Devilman Crybaby was released to critical acclaim on Netflix. It has since gone on to have theatrical run in May and is set to receive another special engagement in theaters. Yuasa has developed a cult following with fans of the genre. This year's movie, Lu Over the Wall, is sure to bring Yuasa's work to a new audience.

Wes Anderson

The recent success of "Moonrise Kingdom" has made fans eager to see more of Wes Anderson's work. The acclaimed director has a knack for making movies with complex visuals. Shots of scissors flying through the sky are combined with simple, yet intricate shots of characters. The characters are often rendered in silhouette and often feature real actors. Those who have seen the films will be delighted to see the same actors appear in new roles.

While his other movies may have been more accessible and easy to digest, Anderson's latest is an absolute gem. Adapted from the famous Roald Dahl children's book, "Mr. Fox" tells the story of an exiled dog on an island. The movie stars a stellar cast including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Michael Gambon, and more.

The director has produced eight films since Rushmore in 1998. His first feature film, "Fantastic Mr. Fox," was smart, homemade, and magical. It captured the magic of Roald Dahl's novel. And the following four feature films are even better. Animated movies are not only an increasingly popular form of entertainment, but also a great way to support a talented filmmaker. And when it comes to quality, there's no better way to support independent filmmaking than with Wes Anderson.

One of the most memorable sequences in the film takes place in a French prison. Tip-Top traipses through a fictitious French town, as well as the offices of the Liberty, Kansas, Evening Sun foreign bureau. The film has many of the Anderson regulars - Willem Dafoe as Albert "The Abacus", Jason Schwartzman as Hermes Jones, and Anjelica Huston as the puppet Narrator.

Genndy Tartakovsky

One of the great minds behind the Cartoon Network is Genndy Tartakovsky. Born in 1970, Tartakovsky is a Russian-American animation director and producer. He has worked on a number of successful animated properties, including Dexter's Laboratory, Hotel Transylvania, and Hotel Rust. In his early years, Tartakovsky was a fan of comic books, Looney Tunes, and humongous Mecha anime.

A Russian-American animator, Genndy Tartakovsky is renowned for his creative vision. His work spans multiple genres, including comic books, animation, and live-action films. His work on television and film has won him awards, and he is currently executive producing a new animated film by Sony Pictures Animation called Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. Genndy Tartakovsky's style is distinctive and he has created several series based on his films.

Tartakovsky is a 20-year veteran of the animation industry. He has won three Emmy Awards and 15 Primetime Emmy nominations for his animated movies. His work on cartoons for Cartoon Network and Disney has earned him awards, including the Winsor McCay Award and Variety's "50 to Watch."

Though Tartakovsky's animated films are mostly geared toward children, he has experimented with adult-oriented animation as well. His work on the Hotel Transylvania franchise, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and the Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series were all aimed at children. But he has also dabbled in adult-oriented animation, including the critically acclaimed Samurai Jack and the upcoming Primal.

"Fixed" is another movie in the pipeline from the Russian director. Although production has not started yet, Sony Pictures Animation's upcoming feature, "Fixed," tells the story of a typical dog falling in love with a show dog, and then learning that he will be castrated. While "25th Hour" starred Spike Lee, "Fixed" is far more mature and edgier.

Mamoru Hosoda

The Japanese animator and film director Mamoru Hosoda has been making amazing animated movies for nearly 20 years. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2009, but was unable to take home the award because of his lack of success in the United States. Nevertheless, his movies have been beloved throughout the world. Listed below are some of his best works.

'Belle' is a family-friendly anime film directed by Japanese animator Mamoru Hosoda. 'Belle' is the latest in a series of animated films directed by Hosoda. The film has a runtime of 2 hours and a half, has a user score of 83, and was announced as an official selection for the Cannes Film Festival in 2021.

His films share similar aesthetics to Miyazaki's, but the animation styles differ. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars are both classically Japanese and feature Ghibli-style character animation. While Hosoda doesn't embrace computer technology as Miyazaki does, his personal vision enables him to create fascinating futuristic images. Summer Wars, for example, features a pre-Wreck-It Ralph 2 depiction of an ancient city.

Belle is another Mamoru Hosoda animated movie that is set to hit theaters on 16 July. It stars Rebecca Hall, Victoria Grace, Daniel Dae Kim, and John Cho. The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival and has already earned over $1.4 billion dollars. In addition to Belle, the film also marks the tenth anniversary of Studio Chizu. These movies are not only enjoyable, but are also educational.

Studio Ponoc

Founded by former Studio Ghibli producer Yoshiaki Nishimura, Studio Ponoc is a Tokyo-based animation studio that creates hand-drawn and painted films. The studio's name comes from the Croatian word "ponoc," which means midnight. Their first film, Mary and The Witch's Flower, was released in summer 2017.

This studio's first effort is a high-end knock-off, but its first film captures Miyazaki's spirit. The opening sequence, which features a young girl with forest fire hair escaping from a floating palace and dodging blobby demons, will have viewers in awe. The film currently has an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the highest ever for a studio debut.

While some of these films may seem far-fetched for families, they are worth a watch. The two shorts, "Life Ain't Gonna Lose" and "Invisible," will be released in U.S. theaters on January 10th and January 12th. The first two films are very family-friendly, but there are some films that aren't suitable for the whole family. While Studio Ponoc has a reputation for creating beautiful animation, their films aren't always kid-friendly, so consider the content of each film before purchasing the movie.

Another film in the series is the highly anticipated Modest Heroes, a feature-length collection of three shorts. The series was first revealed in a March announcement trailer. This film is part of a planned anthology of short films from the studio. The films are also a good way for the studio to experiment with different ideas and discover new talent. It's also notable that the filmmakers behind Studio Ponoc are former Studio Ghibli employees.
