not only is this my absolute favorite song of all time,it's set to my all time favorite cartoons. as i watched this video, i relived all the best moments of my childhood. thanks so much for this. <3
Yeah I agree, but all companies and animators want is money and don't car about plot characters. The reason why they use CGI is because it require less money and time and as long as we continue to watch their stuff they will continue the process. When was last movie that was made with animation like this?
The classics will always stay while the new and flashy will go out of style. Because the classics have a heart and a message that always stay with us as we grow. We remember all of these characters and are with them from beginning to end sharing the adventure. Some of today's movies and shows just don't match what came before. Because the classics weren't focused on making a buck, they were focused on bringing a story to life through animation and sharing it with others.

Does anyone here remember an animated movie about a mouse and an Elephant that got married in the end? I've been trying to find this animation for over two years.
i miss when animation was all handed drawen it has a quitly no computer can make. An even now when i'm 20 yrs old i still cant help but cry when little foot losses his ma. No matter how old you are you never forget the classics but kids now and days should watch this stuff not the crap they have know lik my little pony or *shivers* dora. They need to grow up how we did with disney and the others classics u learn alot more then spanish or whatever my little pony gives u other then headaches.
"In the changing world of today, Remember the Classics of Animation... Give us back our 'Once upon a times' we've loved as children."
(Standing ovation) Well said autumnwolfi, well said. Don't get me wrong, there are SOME things that animation is doing now that's cool. But overall, it doesn't have the same feel/vibe that the classics of yesteryear had. ; _ ;
Man oh man, does this bring back memories. I have not seen some of these in a good while, it seems like a lifetime since I've seen "Secret of Nimh"! I got teary-eyed just watching this. :(
I grew up with these movies and a lot more. I even remember Talespin the series. I cried when Littlefoot's mother died, when Nicodemus died, when Cornelius sang Please Wake Up to Michelle in Once Upon a Forest, and when Charlie said goodbye (I heard that the actress died shortly after the movie was finished but not yet released anyone know if that's true?) I remember feeling terror in my bones when Jenner came on screen during The Secret of Nimh. I still watch these movies and I'm proud to.
@Moontamble Yes it is true. She had been abused, Her dad shot her and her mum then turned the gun on himself. The ending song Love Survives from All Dogs go to Heaven was dedicated to her.
Hopefully Disney will continue to make 2D films in mix with the 3D... Princess and the Frog was an excellent start. I think it's sad that people think that 2D is just kiddie stuff, but they are dead wrong...
Hey hey guys don't blame CGI itself... It is an art form just like traditional is... The reason they don't make traditionally animated films anymore (for the most part) is because they don't sell as well. 2D unfortuantly has a "kiddie" stigma (which is totally wrong -_-) and 3D has a comedy/all ages stigma. They make 3D not because it's easier (it actually takes longer to make high quality 3D), but because of the market as a result of the stigmas. If that makes any sense. :/
We cried when Charlie spent his final moments with Anne Marie and ran away in terror when he was sucked into Hell. WE cheered for Littlefoot when he and his friends finally discovered the Great Valley after such a perilous and depressing journey. WE screamed in horror when Hexxus revealed his final form to destroy Fern Gully. WE punched the television screen when Steele got Balto's sled team lost on purpose. These characters were REAL to us growing up.
Ah traditional animation, the beauty that has never diminished or become old for me. Traditional knows no boundaries whereas CGI softwares do. The true art form that warms my heart and brings back a flood of memories from my childhood when CGI was only just learning to walk and posed no threat.Thank you Disney and Studio Ghibli for continuing on the hand drawn animation tradition.
@Tozzywozzy01 I resent CGI for striking the deathblow on classic animation. The new movies just don't have the heart, charm, and style these wonderful classics did. I own almost all of the movies here on DVD and I love them dearly.
In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists. The fact that Disney closed down its cel animation division is frightening to me. Someday soon, somebody will come along and do a drawn-animated film, and it'll be beautiful and connect with people - Tim Burton
It's funny how people say "Give us back our childhood movies", because i think they should stay with our childhood...Like fond memories we can look back on. We can still see them, great movies, but we can't(shouldn't) really go back to try and re-create what we once loved so dearly...I love nostalgia, and that's all it will be.
You'd surprised at how many methods there are in 3D to take the perfect work and make it imperfect, which is actually what makes 3D so challenging. Go ahead and look up some texture and modeling tricks to make things less perfect. Sometimes the imperfections blend so well, they're unnoticable, which is really the goal of any film. In fact, Bolt used a lot of hand painted 2D backgrounds :D
Animated film truly hasn't changed more drastically than shifting from 2D to 3D..the biggest change has definitely come in animated television. There'll always be these 2D gems of the past to sit right along with the numerous 3D gems of now (such as Up, Wall-E, HTTYD, Toy Story...), but you also have to take into account the time period of all these movies...give 3D another 10 years and we'll soon have a collection of them like this.
@bgyoshi 3D animated films arent the same tho. Don't get me wrong, I love all the movies you listed. I just think there's way more beauty in a hand painted movie than in computer generated worlds. the beauty is in the imperfections, computers aren't good at imperfections.
Oh, this brings back beautiful memories... My mother always said you grow old on that day you start to hanker after the past. If that's the criterion I'm really old and physically I'm only 20! Omg, that sounds... dramatically... theatrically in a way... but I can't help it. Wish, I could be a seven-year-old again.
A lot of these were my all-time favourites, Watership Down, Secret of Nimh and All Dogs Go To Heaven...these were the kinds of movies that made me cry. I'm 16, and when I talk about older movies like these, none of my friends have any idea what I'm talking about.
Thanks for sharing, together with the wonderful song.
Wonderful! Just wonderful! *applaudes* I am 26 and still to this day collect and watch these old time classics. It's also amazing that you had Watership Down on here, most times when I talk about it, no one has a clue what I'm talking about. It's a shame the generation today won't take even a moment to appreciate these wonderful masterpieces. Thank you for loading! A++++
this is amazing. you have some of my childhood favorite movies on here. pure classic masterpieces that will never be out done. i love that you even included Tale Spin in here. and secret of NIMH i love this song. and i love the movie it was from. even land before time was a classic i grew up with. well done.
the movies I know on this are Ferngully, the fox and the hound, aladdin 3 return of jafar , all dogs go to heaven, the secret of nimh, Balto, The Land Before Time, the lion king, Bambi, spirit, Watership down, and the t.v. cartoon Tale Spin. all are my all time favorites to watch and i hope we can get more of these great movies again. other favorites were beauty and the beast, the pebble and the penguin, flight of dragons, sleeping beauty, snow white, and many many more
These were the best movies i have ever seen and i'm sad to say that we may never see these types of movies ever again. as it says at the end. In the changing world of today, Remember the classics of Animation. All we can do is hope that this world of today can bring back these memories of our childhoods and hope that in the near future we will see these types of films start to come back and then the world will see how it was for all of us who loved these great wonderful films thanks for the clip
@shadowcat601 that's good. glad younger viewers like movies like these. im not saying all cartoons nowadays are bad some i do enjoy. (not many but some) however if it wasn't for these classics they would not exist.
i really love don bluths movies, theres just something about them that brings out a lot of emotion.his movies are weird in the sense that they are kids movies but not really kids movies, they dont patronize kids, they have themes that are more adult and about what life is going to be like. i really hope he makes another movie soon, last movie i think he did was "titan ae", which was freaking awesome, but i want a classic don bluth type movie to come out
I hate computer animation because it looks so weightless and it's so smooth it looks lifeless. I'm hoping to be one of the people who brings 2D hand-drawn animation back. You can check out my latest animation here on YouTube under:
This is so unbelievably upsetting if you grew up with these movies, I was born in 1987 so I saw that whole 90's disney renissance and those 90's cartoons on Nickelodeon and Warner Bros like Animaniacs and Rugrats.
I could'nt agree more with you autumnwolfi - disney's lost its touch, everythings just another toy story film i.m.o. and everything you have shown in this vid I grew up with, its something I shall never forget in a hurry. thank you for giving me a glimpse of my early childhood : )
Alot of older animations, even older CGIs, were alot more complete than today's animations. Even the older animations that cut corners had more to them. Modern animations lack build up, atmosphere, fitting music, good situations, actual emotion, humor, and style.
No matter how much CGI tries to be REAL, hand drawn movies will ALWAYS feel more REAL to me. I mean, seriously, almost all people my age had dreams where they were alongside Charlie, Itchy, Littlefoot, and what have you. The people who make animated films these days need to realize that it is not JUST the animation that makes characters feel real, but the story and the lines. My cousin is now 5, and the characters from ADGTH are more REAL to her than any cgi characters.
Thank you for this heart felt reminder about what it was like to be a kid again and enjoy these movies that brought so many emotions with them. Movies for kids today are cute and funny, but the movies I remember as a child not only made me laugh, they made me cry, as well. Even to this day I still get teary eyed when watching some of my old favorites.. :)
GREAT VIDEO! I LUVED IT!! I luv all of these movies and I prefer them over the new stuff thats out today any day!! Ive been recording most of these great films on DVD when they're on TV. I'm still waiting for ADGTH to be on,Care Bears Movie II,Jetsons: the Movie,Anastasia,An American Tail 2,Rock a Doodle,and Rover Dangerfield to be on TV.
CGI movies of today in my opinion never are good. They're always like comedies and "released in 3-D". I would like to see a good 2-D traditional film. To me traditional animation is like a storybook with moving pictures that have a good story.
Really well made video. I liked that you included a few that I would consider more 'modern' like Spirit. I agree that the CGI is taking away something -- though so far I think that there might be a way to integrate... even so. Princess and the Frog was the best disney movie that has come out in the last 10 years or so at least partially due to the hand-done artwork and the music that was a throwback to all the movies of my childhood. Thanks for making this. ^__^
These classics have defined several generations of people and shaped their personalities. Ulike modern movies though that are shallow and don't make an imprint, these movies forever attach themselves to who you are and can even grant you the feeling of being a young kid again. Whenever I watch Secret of nimh, The Last Unicorn, or any of the others that came out when I was just a child, I loose track of everything around me and can recall my childhood in ways I otherwise could not, thank you.
Every time i see this scene it makes me some kind of sad... I always remember on what Charlie said: 'Please take care of Itchy, he have no one left here....'
Me, My mum and sister were all talking about our fav animated movies and this one came up but we forgot the name, so we searched it up and its called Once upon a forest, this is the starting song to it
*sigh* childhood memories *tear*...Animation back then actually made you wish you could jump in the screen and be apart of it....The animations of today dont have that affect on ppl..They've lost the essence of what it used to be about
there is this kid on youtube that posts, in his opinion, the five best animated films, and HOODWINKED is on the list. He doesn't even know who Don Bluth is. Kids these days...
They don't make movies like they used too. I still have most of the classics on VHS. Movies like Land Before Time (the first one) and Beauty and the Beast. I'm keeping all of them and when I have children I'll share these great movies with them (: This video almost made me cry D:
its really sad that all kids watch today is Spongebob...shows like that can't compare with many of the older films, where animation was much more of an art than all the slapstick in kids entertainment today
@schnips074 i know, right? I hate that the networks like to do nothing better than destroy our cherished memories. I hate NBC universal now because someone uploaded the Balto movie and they decided to block it. I want to punch spongebob in the face. Kids don't understand the magic that is Don Bluth. (i know that Balto isn't don bluth) There is hope though, because My four year old cousin LOVES All Dogs Go To Heaven 1 and everytime she is over we watch it together. :)))
Is it okay for a 20 yr old woman to get teary eyed watching this? I truly miss movies like these.
It may sound silly, but i really beleive that these and many more movies like this helped shape who i am today. Animated movies these days just dont have the same content and depth like they used to. Dont get me wrong, movies like Cars and Meet the Robinsons are good, but id still pick Fern Gully and Secret of NINM over them anyday.
It's more than OK. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and several classic animated movies like these have a special place in my heart; they hold a kind of honest joy that nothing today can seem to match. Balto is my favorite movie, and I just bought The Secret of NIMH and Cats Don't Dance (Once Upon A Forest is next on the list). You're totally right about the depth; the shallowness in today's CGI stock is pitiful. If only Amblin Entertainment hadn't died...their material put Disney's to shame.
@AstralDragoon im a nineteen year old guy and i think that the ADGTH1 dvd was the best seventeen bucks i have ever spent, because youtube removed all of it and all the great comments T_T.
I noticed that YouTube took it down; that really stinks. Though I'm not yet planning to buy ADGTH, I do have a few more purchases lined up, among them The Rescuers and The Fox and the Hound.
@Neindus I agree with you completely as I have grown up on traditional animation and love these where so much love and care for the animators has been included in the way they are made. I love Disney... especially The Rescuers, but there are others I love too... Secret of Ninm Land Before Time An American Tale Thumbellina Fern Gully Flight of Dragons White Fang Prince of Egypt Around the World in Eighty Days Lots of respect for Pixar and the computer cgi achievements of recent years too x
@Neindus No, it's not silly. It makes you long for the innocence of childhood when you truly believed that anything was possible. I got teary-eyed as well, and I'm twenty-three years old. I grew up with most of these classics.
@Neindus oh i couldnt agree more, im 19 and to me there is nothing more special than hand drawn cartoons and movies, just the amount of time it must have taken and the detail that went into it, i loved the secret of nymh and still do lol, great vid, and may hand drawn come back i dont mind digital but you cant beat hand drawn.
oooo spirit really is a spectacular animated movie nice choice there - I just watched once upon a forest haha and was hoping to find this song so thanks!!!
Hey dear passionate commentors, please dun forget my favorite animated films of The American Tail: Fivel goes west; The Rescuers, Beauty and the Beast; Lady & the tramp; and SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!
As much as it pains me, I must offer constructive criticism. This video is made up of clips that are a combination of touching, appropriate to the song, and/or exceedingly memorable from their respective films. The clip from Alladin 2 with Iago being shot at just felt out of place.
Also, this is strictly personal, but i think the ending clip from Fox and the Hound would have been more suitable for the end of this video. That scene never fails to get my eyes watering and this music doesn't help.
I miss traditional animation so much. Just listening to this brings back so many memories, it makes me so happy to remember all the great times I had watching all of these movies. Thanks so much for this song, :) I love Once Upon a Forest!
These are some of the best animated movies and series tha i have seen. I realy wosh thatthey wold have continued to make more of these animated series & movies. The CGI movies are ok but i prefer the animated over the cgi any day
From the clips you've shown, here's what I have seen: Spirit-Stallion of the Cimarron, Land before Time, FernGully, Balto, Fox and the Hound, All Dogs go to Heaven, Aladdin: the Return of Jafar and The Lion King. Out of those, my favorite one is All Dogs go to Heaven.
Thanks for making the video! :) What are the other clips you used? I recognized one of them from The Secret of Nimh, maybe?
The Secret of NIMH was there; a superb choice for classic animation. It's one of my favorite movies, along with Balto. I'm hoping to see Once Upon A Forest soon.
these are the kinds of movies i grew up to, and i absolutely adored them. They aren't nearly as sugarcoated at lots of little kids shows they have now.
i intend on always keeping my vhs' to show my future kids :)
I use to love a lot of these movies and tv shows as a child. aw it brings back so many good old memory's. thank you for makeing this video cry's cause my grand mother. use to buy us kids a hole lot of classic animated movies on vsh.
Words can't describe how beautiful I find the classic animations....2D is my life!
This song breaks my heart...I watched Once Upon a Forest and all these movies when I was a kid....it's so great to see them all together with such a meaningful song...
Now this is good animation. I'm all for 3D & CGI, but at the same time it's sad to see fewer 2D/traditional animation being done. It was the traditional artwork that inspired me to want to become an animator in the first place. I still do, but it's difficult to find work when you have little to no experience in 3D.
Awesome tribute, I grew up with most of these movies and cartoons. Most of the time these are better than most of the stuff that comes out recently (plot, story-wise).
I came across this video because it was related to one of my subscriptions, and let me tell you, this is amazing and I totally understand where you're coming from. I miss those older animated movies. Most of the animated movies nowadays aren't as good, I mean, we're all so used to computer animation and not traditional animation. ***** :)
I cannot believe it, you also put Watership down in your video, mostly people outside of Europe don't know that movie, but I grew up with Hazel and his fellow rabbits
your video is beautiful, I also love animation, and this song brings me memories from a very important moment of my life, and
I just returned from a voyage that has marked my life, and this song is just reminding me every beautiful thing that has happened to me in the past few years, thank you,
and you are right, animation is a treasure we should keep having
I remember waking up at like 5 in the morning and my brother was watching the end credits to Once Upon a Forest which is where this song is from. I was a kid then and I guess something about me still being in kind of a semi-dream state when I first heard this song reminds me of back then when I had no worries.
3D and CGI animation, no matter how advanced it will ever get, will NEVER be able to match the classic traditionally animated movies.
To me, traditional animation shows the effort and work put down in movie, while 3D animation just looks bland and uninspiring. I understand that its usually financially cumbersome to make traditionally animated movies today, but i still hope that it will have it's place in modern film industry in one way or another.
not only is this my absolute favorite song of all time,it's set to my all time favorite cartoons. as i watched this video, i relived all the best moments of my childhood. thanks so much for this. <3

The difference between Cartoons back then and now
is the classics didn't degrade us for being children. They showed us everything without being explicit.
The new, is plagued by stupid soccer moms. So everything is all "goody two-shoes"
Stop it. We can take whatever you take us, besides, we're kids, we don't even know what sex even means yet =A=

Go ahead and look up some texture and modeling tricks to make things less perfect. Sometimes the imperfections blend so well, they're unnoticable, which is really the goal of any film. In fact, Bolt used a lot of hand painted 2D backgrounds :D

Animated film truly hasn't changed more drastically than shifting from 2D to 3D..the biggest change has definitely come in animated television. There'll always be these 2D gems of the past to sit right along with the numerous 3D gems of now (such as Up, Wall-E, HTTYD, Toy Story...), but you also have to take into account the time period of all these movies...give 3D another 10 years and we'll soon have a collection of them like this.
bgyoshi 1 year ago
@bgyoshi 3D animated films arent the same tho. Don't get me wrong, I love all the movies you listed. I just think there's way more beauty in a hand painted movie than in computer generated worlds. the beauty is in the imperfections, computers aren't good at imperfections.

Oh, this brings back beautiful memories... My mother always said you grow old on that day you start to hanker after the past. If that's the criterion I'm really old and physically I'm only 20! Omg, that sounds... dramatically... theatrically in a way... but I can't help it. Wish, I could be a seven-year-old again.

A lot of these were my all-time favourites, Watership Down, Secret of Nimh and All Dogs Go To Heaven...these were the kinds of movies that made me cry. I'm 16, and when I talk about older movies like these, none of my friends have any idea what I'm talking about.
Thanks for sharing, together with the wonderful song.

Wonderful! Just wonderful! *applaudes* I am 26 and still to this day collect and watch these old time classics. It's also amazing that you had Watership Down on here, most times when I talk about it, no one has a clue what I'm talking about. It's a shame the generation today won't take even a moment to appreciate these wonderful masterpieces. Thank you for loading! A++++

i really love don bluths movies, theres just something about them that brings out a lot of emotion.his movies are weird in the sense that they are kids movies but not really kids movies, they dont patronize kids, they have themes that are more adult and about what life is going to be like. i really hope he makes another movie soon, last movie i think he did was "titan ae", which was freaking awesome, but i want a classic don bluth type movie to come out

Alot of older animations, even older CGIs, were alot more complete than today's animations. Even the older animations that cut corners had more to them. Modern animations lack build up, atmosphere, fitting music, good situations, actual emotion, humor, and style.
laughingfurry 1 year ago
No matter how much CGI tries to be REAL, hand drawn movies will ALWAYS feel more REAL to me. I mean, seriously, almost all people my age had dreams where they were alongside Charlie, Itchy, Littlefoot, and what have you. The people who make animated films these days need to realize that it is not JUST the animation that makes characters feel real, but the story and the lines. My cousin is now 5, and the characters from ADGTH are more REAL to her than any cgi characters.

CGI movies of today in my opinion never are good. They're always like comedies and "released in 3-D". I would like to see a good 2-D traditional film. To me traditional animation is like a storybook with moving pictures that have a good story.

Really well made video. I liked that you included a few that I would consider more 'modern' like Spirit. I agree that the CGI is taking away something -- though so far I think that there might be a way to integrate... even so. Princess and the Frog was the best disney movie that has come out in the last 10 years or so at least partially due to the hand-done artwork and the music that was a throwback to all the movies of my childhood. Thanks for making this. ^__^

These classics have defined several generations of people and shaped their personalities. Ulike modern movies though that are shallow and don't make an imprint, these movies forever attach themselves to who you are and can even grant you the feeling of being a young kid again. Whenever I watch Secret of nimh, The Last Unicorn, or any of the others that came out when I was just a child, I loose track of everything around me and can recall my childhood in ways I otherwise could not, thank you.

It's more than OK. I'm a 21-year-old guy, and several classic animated movies like these have a special place in my heart; they hold a kind of honest joy that nothing today can seem to match. Balto is my favorite movie, and I just bought The Secret of NIMH and Cats Don't Dance (Once Upon A Forest is next on the list). You're totally right about the depth; the shallowness in today's CGI stock is pitiful. If only Amblin Entertainment hadn't died...their material put Disney's to shame.

As much as it pains me, I must offer constructive criticism. This video is made up of clips that are a combination of touching, appropriate to the song, and/or exceedingly memorable from their respective films. The clip from Alladin 2 with Iago being shot at just felt out of place.
Also, this is strictly personal, but i think the ending clip from Fox and the Hound would have been more suitable for the end of this video. That scene never fails to get my eyes watering and this music doesn't help.

Now this is good animation. I'm all for 3D & CGI, but at the same time it's sad to see fewer 2D/traditional animation being done. It was the traditional artwork that inspired me to want to become an animator in the first place. I still do, but it's difficult to find work when you have little to no experience in 3D.

3D and CGI animation, no matter how advanced it will ever get, will NEVER be able to match the classic traditionally animated movies.
To me, traditional animation shows the effort and work put down in movie, while 3D animation just looks bland and uninspiring. I understand that its usually financially cumbersome to make traditionally animated movies today, but i still hope that it will have it's place in modern film industry in one way or another.
