Well, if you're looking for something like, say, Memento or Requiem for a Dream, you're less likely to find it in animation.

That being said, there are some great animation films. Some I do find too childlike...but even the ones targeted at kids can be amazing.

Just because you have a classic story with a 3-part structure, a hero's journey and good vs bad, doesn't mean it can't be a good story with interesting characters, moving moments, and a great message. To be honest, I think if you hate all of them, you're probably a bit jaded.

I don't know, Waking Life is about on par with Memento for dramatic weirdness, in my opinion.

Granted that rotoscoping isn't exactly the same as traditional animation - it's tracing over frames of recorded live-action - but it produces a final product that's frequently compared to traditional animation. There's a rotoscoped Lord of the Rings out there too (the Rankin-Bass one), and I don't think anyone can argue that LotR is "fluff."

OP might want to expand their horizons a bit more.

Haven't seen it, I'll put it on my "to watch" list.

I can argue that Lord of the Rings is... uh... not fluff... what's the word... ridiculous.

Actually, the Rankin-Bass one is traditional animation and covers Return of the King (they're also the ones who animated The Hobbit). The rotoscoped one was directed by Ralph Bakshi and covers Fellowship and Two Towers.

My mistake! I haven't seen either of them, and was researching quickly. Thanks for the correction!

I LOVE Waking Life, and it's definitely not for kids.
