We all have those friends that tell us "You just have to see this". May it be a cartoon or an anime.

Probably the movie " Wolf children"
or " 5 centimetres per second", though anything by Makoto Shinkai is definitely high on my list....
And of course, "Kiki's delivery service." My all time favourite....
Old cartoon from Silly Symphonies - Cab Calloway singing Skeleton dance while the Skeletons dance.
Check out Merrie Melodies. The creators must have been tripping in the 30's. Oh! in 6 years I'll have to specify 1930s.
I loved those as a kid! Skeleton Dance was my favorite
"When the Wind Blows" from 1986 is a serious and seriously good one. Always show that one to my students when we deal with the subject war/cold war/atomic threat.
"Asterix in Britain" is just a childhood favorite.
"Funky Cops" is a great french/US cartoon series. A cop series set in the 70s. Great soundtrack and characters. Big fun.
Princess Mononoke (I got emotional watching it and tbh all Miyazaki's stuff is pretty good). Neon Genesis Evangelion along with The End of Evangelion which is pretty heavy and deep stuff but it's a masterpiece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because it makes me lol and the character design etc is really cool.
Song of the Sea, Secret of the Kells, Wolfwalkers. They all have the same animator, and the animation is beautiful.
