Comment: I'm hungarian, and I saw the Hugo, the hippopotamus, and I didn' like it. The princess and the goblin I have never seen, but I think I won't watch it. However there are a lot of good cartoon wich was made in Hungary: Macskafogó (I think it's maybe cat city in english), Sárkány és papucs (a litle bit weird but it's funny), etc. Also there are cartoon series too: Pompon, Mézga family (in hungarian Mézga család and it has totally 39 episodes and 3 seasons), Vízipók csodapók, Frakk etc. It's a very good list about European movies, but it would have been a little bit better, if you had put the Asterix and Obelix films. They are very good too.

Comment: I have only seen watership down and the plague dogs out of all of them. I plan on watching Felidae when I'm older. (I can't handle the subject of murder due to a traumatic past) I think when I start film making after collage, people might think I'm not from the U.S.A. Due to my style of drawing and having dark subjects like the plague dogs. Actually, one of my ideas for an animated film has a group of animals ( a raccoon, 2 dogs, a skunk, a badger, and a hummingbird) struggling to survive a 4 year war.

Comment: Also what about the JungleDyret Hugo series? I haven't seen them yet, but I heard that they're nice films. And I heard that Miramax didn't do a good job with dubbing them into english. Yeah, I know that I pointed out the sequel Hugo the movie star, which is the english name for Jungledyret 2 - den store filmhelt.

Comment: I'd like to recommend the Russian film adaptation of "The Jungle Book" known as "Maugli" in Russia and "The Adventures of Mowgli/Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book" in English speaking countries. It is both superior and more faithful to Kipling's work that the Disney film as well as having some outstanding Canadian voice actors in the English dub such as the always amazing David Kaye as Akela.

Comment: Having European friends and relatives I would first of all recomend the animated Asterix movies. I know you've seen one of them, but a look back on all of them would be nice. And the animated Tintin movie based on Temple of the Sun. Oh, and I recomend you check out the Swedish animated director Per Ĺhlin. He's got his own unique style and while the low budget of his movies are shown they are quite Charming. Check out Dunderklumpen if you get the opportunity. It's considered a childrens classic in Sweden.

Comment: Perfect! There are some €uropean productions worthy of watching, still untranslated. In most cases, fansubbed versions exist, though you can only obtain those by embracing the pirate ways. I would probably recommend the first two Jungledyret Hugo movies; the pirates have it in their bay ;) Danish made those, and, judging by the look, same people worked on them as Help! I'm a Fish!

Comment: Have you seen Fantastic Planet (La Plančte sauvage)? I recommend that one, I just watched it a few days ago. It's french animation and creeped me more out than Felidae or Watership down. Mostly because it has a very weird animation style.

Comment: Good episode Mr. Coat. I enjoyed Watership Down and The Plague Dogs but prefer the book version. I tried to enjoy "The Triplets of Belleville, but for some reason it didn't turn out to be my cup of tea. I still have yet to see the rest, I wasn't into much foreign animation when I was younger thinking it looked like nightmare fuel, but luckily my tastes have changed. I highly recommend Renne Laloux of France creator of "Fantastic Planet" and "Gandahar".

Comment: Great video indeed, though I'm surprise when talking about Help! I'm a Fish, you didn't mention its lackluster North American distribution (Seriously look at its North American Box Art and what they changed the title to) and the impressively dark moment in which Fly almost dies from blood loss.

Comment: You've talked about many American animated films and TV series, and now many European animated films and a few TV series. You've also talked about a lot of Japanese animated movies. It's about time you gave more Japanese animated TV series their do! You need to watch more anime, Mr. Coat! Anyway, you reminded me how much I need to see more European cartoons. I've only seen Persepolis and Plague Dogs. Persepolis was amazing, and Plague Dogs was good, though extremely sad and I had to hug my dogs afterward. Now if you excuse me, I gotta catch up on Euro-animation!

Comment: If there's one European film I could recommend to you, it would be "Le Roman de Renard" or "The Tale of the Fox", a stop-motion animated film by stop-motion pioneer Ladislas Starevich. It was completed in 1930 but wasn't released in 1937 with a German soundtrack and again in 1941 in French. The animation in the film itself is very impressive even to this day.

Comment: Fun Fact; When Princess and the Goblin was released, the studio was so desperate for good reviews that they actually had the kids of famous movie critics to review it and since children are the most easily pleased crowd of all when it comes to movies, they loved it like Sarah Medved who gave it "91 stars". ............That's just pathetic.

Comment: I still need to see a lot of those like Persepolis, Watership Down, and Belleville. Although the plot is a bit predictable, I recommend Un Montre a Paris/A Monster in Paris from France. It's like Phantom of the Opera but with its own spin on it. It has pretty good CGI animation and cool characters.

Comment: 12. water shipdown gave me nightmare fuel and scared me to death when I was a kid but loved it. 11. Plague Dogs I cried but liked it. Even though I was hugging onto dear life on my first dog for comfort. 10. Loved it alot when I was kid. I asked mom to record it for me over a thousand times. 9. The Princess and Goblin is my guilty pleasure liking it. Though trying to put it against the lion king just spells fail. 8. I've never seen Hugo the hippo and I probably wouldn't like it when I was a kid. 7. Help I'm a fish seemed interesting, I got to check it out. 6. Again I haven't seen The tripletes of belleville until I was much older but I love it. 5. The Persepolis seemed interesting. 4. Le Roi Et L'Olseau is another I haven't seen, I'll have to take your word on how good it is. 3. Pinocchio in outer space again I have to take your word on it and look it up on youtube. and 2. Felidae the moment I saw that movie online. I have to say two parts of my mind saying two different things, one I was glad that I didn;'t see this as a kid or I could have terrifying nightmares and rooming with my sister for life, and the other half saying this is a truly amazing movie and why didn't I seen this when I was teenager, the plot and story keep your rear nearly falling off the seat, the characters are memorable which I wished one would survive a little longer than getting killed off the bat. But I will have to find the book. 1. Never seen it before, I can't even pronounce or spell the name. Mind if I give you a recommendation that you have forgotten. This film is too from Denmark, but me and my sister enjoyed very much due to the norse mythology. It was directed by one of Disney's animator Jeffrey J. Varab and the artist is lesser known but created the comic series the film came from and that film is called Valhalla, the plot is about Thor, the god of thunder, and Loki, take two Viking children, Tjalvi and Röskva with them across the rainbow bridge to Asgard, the land of the Norse gods where they are put to work as servants. Tjalvi and Röskva meet Quark, and together they revolt against the tyrannical gods. They escape and run away to a forest, where they build a wooden cottage, of their own. Thor captures the children and takes them to the land of the giants. Tjalvi and Röskva then conduct combat in a mythical battle against the gods and the giants. The animation is great, as well it's truly a break from the most awesomeness Marvel's Thor series and see how the other side that is a little bit different. You won't be disappointed.

Comment: Now, I still need to see Watership Down, Felidae, The Plague Dogs, The Triplets movie and Persopolis. I have seen Help, I'm a Fish though and I was surprised to see how well the movie worked. Definitely worth watching. I could call out not seeing the appealing of Pinnochio in Outer Space though that'd be hypocritical of me since Moonraker is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Comment: I ADORE the book of Watership Down, but the movie could've been way better. It would have been more interesting if they made it longer with more character development. I want to read the plague dogs soon. I agree the princess and the goblin sucks, and OMG I WANT TO SEE BELLEVILLE AND ILLUSIONIST
