Hi
Do you know any Space animated films?
i know about WallE,interstella5555,titan AE,terra
any more?
thanks
 
This thread woud be better suited for the Science Fiction and Fantasy forum, so, as sojourner has noted...wooosssshhhhh...
 
There was a Transformers animated movie, Star Blazer animated movies in Japan under Sace Cruiser Yamato, and the Star Wars Clone Wars movie. Then you have the space/fantasy animated movies like Heavy Metal. For computer animated movies there is the Final Fantasy movie.
You said films, of course there are tons of animated space TV shows.
 
Gunbuster is kind of old from 1988, but fantastic. A multiple chapter OVA format anime movie that follows a young military "space cadet," for several years of her life through to a battle for the survival of Humanity at the center of the galaxy.

One of my all time favorites.
 
Not a film, but I'd recommend the anime series Planetes. It takes place in the near future (2075), and follows a group of astronauts who clear debris from Earth orbit. Reasonably realistic, with some good character development, and fantastic artwork.

I had that in my Netflix queue for a while, since it sounded like my kind of thing (hard-SF and not particularly violent), but then they apparently lost one of the discs and still haven't gotten it back, and I'm not willing to settle for an incomplete series. :(


How about the direct-to-DVD DC Universe Green Lantern films, First Flight and the new Emerald Knights? They're set mostly in space.
 
if you can ever find it, Lensman. i don't think it ever got a dvd release and the vhs is kinda expensive last time i looked. but, its out there on the web.
 
Yeah, there's plenty of stuff if you look to Japan, but most of it tends to be shows. There's Gundam, Macross, Ideon, Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, and tons more.
 
"A few years back there was a retelling of "Treasure Island" called "Treasure Planet". Back in the late 70s and early 80s, a Canadian animation house called Nelvana churned out a buttload of SF themed features, most of which were one-offs for television or direct to video. They did the animated sequence (the only good part) for the infamous "Star Wars Holiday special.

Oh yeah, I saw that back when it was relatively new. It's a very loose anime adaptation of the classic space opera series by E. E. "Doc" Smith. The Lensmen were the inspiration for the Green Lantern Corps.
 
The Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy, the Zeta movie trilogy, and Char's Counterattack.
 
There was a recent animated movie based on the DEAD SPACE computer game. Zombies on a spaceship!

I caught it on Syfy one night . . ..

loose adaption is putting it mildly. i think the estate of Doc Smith was pretty upset with the anime.
 
One of my earliest encounters with Sci-fi, the classic 70's anime Galaxy 9999. If you can find a copy I highly recommend it.

You mean Galaxy Express 999? I heard Discotek media will be re-releasing those movies at some point.
 
Oops, too many 9's, hehe. Yeah, it's been going to be released "real soon" for almost 30 years now.
 
There's the recent Robotech The Shadow Chronicles direct to dvd follow up to the US Robotech series...and the older Titan AE feature film.. anime features 1985 Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight, and 1986 Gail Force -Eternal Story.
