Boy walking toward a motorcycle in the poster for Akira (1988)
When a movie isn't loved by everyone, or generally manages to attract a small yet devoted fanbase instead of having universal appeal, it could well qualify as a cult classic. Oftentimes, the followings for such movies build steadily over years, or even decades, and some cult classics, in hindsight, look ahead of their time. Think that scene in Back to the Future where Marty says: “I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
But there’s nothing generic or predictable about the rest of Son of the White Mare, with animation that initially looks simple, but becomes more impressive the further the film goes on. It’s not the sort of thing that’ll appeal to everyone, of course, but the consensus on this film – from the people who've seen it – is undeniably positive.
And Yellow Submarine, while probably one of the better Beatles-related films, does ultimately feel like an acquired taste, and probably easiest to enjoy for those looking for something a little oddball. It’s visually dazzling, and though the plot is a bit whatever, the world it takes place in and the trippy, imaginative animation on offer makes it worth a watch .
This is maybe one of the more frightening fantasy movies out there, at least of the ones that don’t have explicitly un-family-friendly things. There’s no profanity and the violence isn't necessarily graphic, for example, but the look of the film is like an unsettling dream in its milder moments, and closer to a nightmare during its most frightening parts. Only the title character is live-action, and everyone else is brought to life using unsettling stop-motion animation.
Picture the pod-racing scene from The Phantom Menace, but with some vehicles that are a little more American Graffiti , and stretched to feature-length, and that’s a little how Redline feels. It’s also a bit Speed Racer, for fans of that film, which came out a year earlier and was technically live-action, though clearly had a great deal of CGI animation. Redline, in contrast, was done with hand-drawn animation, and the whole thing is genuinely mind-blowing.
