On a side note, I really wish someone would remake a CGI Johnny Quest.

I'm pretty sure OP is talking about movies. Specifically, animated movies that were released since the Disney Renaissance era that began with The Little Mermaid.

I'm pretty sure I put Heavy Metal in there and agreed when I realized that.

Thanks for just trying to bust on my ass :p

The TV Tropes article on the Renaissance Age of Animation may be helpful here. What you're basically asking for are the non-Disney RAoA films. Anything before that and you're into the Dark age, which was named so for good reason.:p

All Dogs Go To Heaven. It was sad. :(

Edit- Holy crap! It came out in 1989! Damn I'm old! Yet I remember the movie fondly. My other fav is 101 Dalmatians. I don't understand the date. I thought I seen it sometime in circa '92 but the Internet says '61. :confused:

Nausicaa was probably the greatest animated film ever made at the time of its release, and after three decades it's still in the top ten. Maybe higher.

I tried to watch that for the first time recently out of curiosity (I watched the cartoons as a kid). I couldn't get past the fact that alien robots have American 'South' accents and blatant stereotype personalities from said region.

Why does the Decepticon weapons R&D department absolutely suck?

Both of those were the work of Don Bluth, an ex-Disney guy that left because their quality/management was so crap in the 80's. He is also responsible the Secret of Nymph among others.

But there was a lot of good traditional animation outside of Disney and Bluth. Fox cranked out a few, like Anastacia and Titan AE.

Both of those were Don Bluth.

Some Don Bluth films I forgot to mention:
- Rock-a-Doodle (bad)
- All Dogs Go To Heaven (strange)
- A Troll in Central Park (haven't seen)
- The Pebble and the Penguin (haven't seen)

That was definitely Disney (OP was asking for non-Disney examples). Yes, the John Lassetter connection was evident in that movie.

Not sure who made this one:
- Cat's Don't Dance (though this was pretty good when I saw it in the '90s)

I'm not sure whether to classify "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as an animated movie or a Disney movie. It's a strange combination in every respect. Steven Spielberg's involvement makes it feel like a Universal production, but Disney definitely had a lot to do with the distribution and marketing. Roger Rabbit became Disney's character.
