Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

tavm This very brief cartoon from Japan whose title translated means "The Monkey Fleet" and runs little more than a minute has the Asian monkeys battling octopuses as they both go underwater with the simian animals riding in submarines shooting their torpedo bullets at the sea creatures. The battle scenes are pretty fascinating for animation done in the '30s but the fact that's all you see in such a very short film makes it filler in my eyes. The script was by Chuzo Aoji, with animation by Manzo Miyashita and music (the one I heard on YouTube, anyway) by Joichi Yuasa. Worth a look, anyway, for anyone fascinated by early Japanese animation. Or any animation buff at all.
