This is just a little tribute to the classics of animation. To me, traditional style artwork is something special...and something we should certainly see more of in today's animation world. Yes in fact "once upon a time" there were good quality cartoons and animated movies. These are just some scenes from a personally picked handful of them.
These shows (even the cartoon series, like "Talespin") had some key things that many animation projects of today (clone CGI comedy movies, hrm?) don't seem to. Fantastic plot, well developed characters, and an emotion that really pulled the viewer in. At least it's how it was for me.
Many of these features inspired many creative projects of my own, and I think the animation companies should journey "once upon a time" and remember the heart of animation.
The Song is "Once Upon a Time with Me", from "Once Upon a Forest."
Anyways, all shows are copyright to their creators, I'm just a loyal fan. Enjoy. :3

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.

Oh God...Nostalgia just flew threw my soul. It dipped it's delicate wings in my blood and soared through my memory. Somewhere it lit a light I thought had long been extinguished from my cynical teenage heart. ❤

That's what I hope cartoon movies from our past would do

@breiffen5526 6 лет назад

The part that really got me was the All Dogs Go to Heaven ending especially considering Judith Barsi is long gone. Dom DeLuise has been gone for almost 10 years yet Burt Reynolds us still around and is probably missing his old friend. ..

@breiffen5526 5 лет назад

Well Burt Reynolds is gone too now passed away last Fall

@princepeterwolf Год назад

If you grew up in the 80s/90s you were part of the last generation that was able to have a real childhood. I take none of these beautiful movies and shows for granted.

@foxteen8721 5 лет назад

The nostalgia may be far away from us, but they are in our hearts and memories forever and nothing will ever take it away from us because we are eighty / ninety borns and we know animation better than today's animators know it. We have grown up but our hearts haven't. For the sake of our once upon a times back then, we must keep our hearts that way. That's all we have and nothing else.

@OfficialWench 15 лет назад

I loved growing up with those movies. Nowadays I don't like movies as much because they seem sobland in comparison. Sure there are a few good ones today, but the really good ones came from my childhood. I saw 'The Iron Giant' as a child and fell in love with it. I remember staring at the sky hoping something would fall and land in the forest near my house.

@RyoseiTakashiHime 15 лет назад

This almost made me cry. I agree that the CGI movies mostly seem to be leaping off one another's backs. Most of them are comedies and so don't need a good plot. But, I miss the good ol' days of dramatic animated movies with serious plots and deep characters. T_T

@jacobmurphy7292 2 года назад

I agree with you ryosei, and don't forget about the animated cartoon series for all ages as well whether there nickelodeon disney you got to love all of them.

The first few clips are from a tv series that was on Nick in the early 90's called "David the Gnome". The other is Disney's "Talespin", another wonderful cartoon series from the 90's. These were to show that it wasn't just the movies of animation that were better back then. ;3 Thank you so much for the comments, by the way! I really should log in more often, lol. I'm so happy everyone's enjoyed this!

I love that this video is still up. Hope it continues to remind people of classic animation. What a real treasure hand painted/drawn animation is, something to this day I stop and appreciate. The movies where the animation and detail stand out for me are; Bambi, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, The Land Before Time, and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

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.

@tillyrobinson3153 3 года назад

I’ve only just recently come across this song and even though I didn’t grow up with the song or the film it’s from, it still makes me cry. For some reason, it reminds me of my childhood and the fact I turn 18 in a few months, I’m starting to miss those childhood days

@uberlutra 16 лет назад

Instant fave...this was beautiful. It's so true, too...I was watching a VHS the other day and they were showing the storyboards for The Swan Princess and how it was drawn, and that was just beautiful. It makes me so sad they don't do that anymore because there was a certain amount of magic and poignancy that existed in those movies that can't be found anymore. Bonus props for including that clip of Watership Down, which still remains my favorite movie of all time.

@MagicSnjor 15 лет назад

T.T makes me miss movies I watched when I was little, and it's true newer movies just don't have that emotion that the older ones have.

@poohtwin1982 15 лет назад

I agree I miss animated cartoons and movies. I think it shows how hard the animators worked on their projects. Computer animation is fine but I'm burned out with it.

@vxvxvxvx 13 лет назад

I love classic movies :) 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.

@jillevers1432 3 года назад

I do miss the classic animation

@silveryote1 14 лет назад

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.

@lisamoore1156 7 лет назад

This made me tear up as I remembered all these movies that are close to my heart. The song fits perfectly and is a wonderful tribute to animation. Thank you.

I remember this song and Justin you make me happy and heartwarming

@sypoth 14 лет назад

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.

@AlexanderRivera23 4 года назад

All these animation classics you guys like Fox and The Hound, All Dogs Go to Heaven, The Rats of Nhim, Balto, Once Upon A Forest, Land Before Time, Lion King, Ferngully, all of these movies was what made want to be an artist...sure enough I graduated in college with my associates in art specializing in painting and photography

@Isaia 16 лет назад

I'm guessing that what these timeless classics had in common was that they were not JUSt for children, but their spirit, soul and story that touched people's hearts.

@jeffreysnydr 12 лет назад

Although its not done in the animation we grew up with, My little pony: Friendship is magic holds up to the storytelling quality of these treasured stories. Its very rare to see stories like these nowadays.

@TheNephilli 14 лет назад

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.. :)

@korwyn85 14 лет назад

Once upon a forest was one of the ones I watched on a daily basses as a little kid. Awesome video, loved it so much.

@TwilightiMidna 15 лет назад

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.

@doublemaximus 15 лет назад

*sobs hysterically* This made me cry so much TT ^ TT 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... perfect! JUST PERFECT!!! *favourites*

@LizaKimoto 15 лет назад

I can't tell you how much these t.v shows and movies prepared me when i was little for the world out there with there messages and thanks to those movies like once upon a time showed me how effective polluting is and that we can also prevent it so i just want to say plz keep the hand drawn animation cuz i want my kids and my grandchildren to see these movies and learn how they influenced my life and how it can influence there's.

@bigoldinosaur 10 лет назад

These are pretty much all movies of my childhood. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Very nostalgic.

@Sweet0Katie 15 лет назад

I think all of those movies made me cry when I was a kid. I probably will still cry if I watch them again, and I want to. I remember I bawled in The Fox and the Hound at the scene you have at the end of your video with them. I was mindlessly flipping through tv channels a while ago and stumbled across the new Winnie the Pooh. It's CGI and I watched an episode and it just wasn't the same. I miss the classic animation and the way it always got to my heart. Wonderful video.

@jkellybrew 15 лет назад

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.

@LizaKimoto 14 лет назад

I'm 20, and I remember this all. It's so great. Thank you so much.

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:

@kayin72 14 лет назад

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

@silveryote1 14 лет назад

@Mutnt Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, Felidae, Balto, and All Dogs Go To Heaven are EPIC.

@autumnwolfi 16 лет назад

Thanks guys!! ^_^ Yep, it sure is, lemon. Among the classics for sure, IMO. Thanks again for the comments.

@AstralDragoon 14 лет назад

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.

@BoltroBankai 14 лет назад

Wow, this really takes me back. Both the song and the video.

@mildmanneredmoxie 12 лет назад

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.

@AstralDragoon 14 лет назад

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.

@twhite614 16 лет назад

Wonderful. Not sure if the modern Disney moves would be consider classic animation. But to see highlighs of Nimh did bring back some good memories.

@meatloaf7593 10 лет назад

I really enjoyed this video. Brought tears to my eyes. Once Upon A Forest is also my childhood movie.

@gamemaster80 16 лет назад

Oh god, Tailspin was great, Ferngully I watched and liked it at a point, The first Land Before Time, All Dogs go to Heaven, Fox and the Hound....Ah so many fond memories. Such great plot lines for kids and adults to get into. Some people in the industry today really need to look back on great films and shoes like this.

@martinb0508 14 лет назад

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 : )

@Kruemelinchen90 13 лет назад

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.

Watching this brings a tear to my eyes. Once Upon a Forest was good, but very sad, especially when Michelle's parents died. Fern Gully, Secret of NIMH, The Land before Time..I miss the old Disney too before all that teeny-bopper crap came along. Animations like these will always have a special place in my heart, as corny as that sounds it's true. ^^;

I'm 19 and I still find myself diggin up these moives and watching them on a sunday evening. I was rectly at a friendly get together and someone noticed that the guy whos house we were at had the Secret of Nyhm stashed away. Someone poped it in and before your knew there were a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds watching the Secret of Nyhm!^^ ...and Watership down freaked me out...

@GtownCaniac 15 лет назад

Wow... I applaud you for making this video, it's beautiful and makes me realize just how much we're missing today. I agree with you 100%... those classics of animation are precious to those of us who experienced them and represented a truly golden time in children's film

@PhantomSkitty 16 лет назад

Wow... I can't believe I almost forgot about Talespin... I used to love that show so much. This made me cry, man... this made me really miss 2-D animation even more than I already did. The song was beautiful, everything about this was just amazing. It also made me realize how long it's been since I saw Ferngully.

@joseventura7943 8 дней назад

@bgyoshi 13 лет назад

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.

@Cataibh058 5 лет назад

I agree with your statement completely, to me traditional style artwork has a form of beauty & quality that most modern CGI doesn't have, and back then they put more effort into making films than they do now in most (plot, music, characters etc), p.s. I like your video and track.

@texaswerewolf 15 лет назад

Could not have said it better myself. As an animator i too want 2d animation back the way it was. no cg movie could ever show the emotion good old hand drawn has done effortlessly for years.

@Alaskaanmlvr 16 лет назад

So true, kalakauai. Let us never forget, how to dream and keep the spirit of a child, whether we be 1 or 100 years old. For if any of us should lose the ability to love,dream, and hope, then what do we REALLY have??!!

@xxskad 15 лет назад

CGI has its place... but pen and ink will always have my heart!

@Jeromeookami2 13 лет назад

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.

@tranquilmischief 16 лет назад

Weren't we all happier when it was only pixar putting out one CGI movie once every few years.

@herbalwolfooo5413 4 года назад

Animations nowadays don't have the same raw emotion and power that those from the '90s and beyond had. Each stroke of paint for the background is done with such love that you become enraptured into the universe the story is trying to weave; though the story itself may be bland, it all depends on what you're watching. Today, instead of caring for the aesthetic and story of cartoons, companies are making them cheap and tasteless with their Calart styles and general laziness. There *are* a few modern gems here and there, I will admit. But many movies, even in big animation tycoons like Disney and Dreamworks, they only care about money and probably a toyline which leads to more money. We need these kinds of movies to once again find a place in our time so we can truly appreciate the beauty that is animation. Cheaper does not equal better.

@kayin72 15 лет назад

"give us back our once upon a times we loved as children" i totally agree with that, so many of the "80's" kids generation of shows/movies that were cartoons had way better story lines and were in some cases better detailed then , then they are now

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. ***** :)

@ChibiProwl 2 года назад

@maniacaldude 9 лет назад

Personally, I would have included more classics (and by that, I mean, before 1980, like Snow White and all the original Disney stuff,) and even some classic anime. As is, though, nice video, and nice sentiment, as well. I do believe in reviving the classic techniques and keeping them alive myself.

@hotwax9376 5 лет назад

@Landon Kemp I think the video included Bambi. Anyway, about the time I started high school (which was the same time this video was uploaded, judging by the publication date at the top), I seriously considered a career in animation. I longed to establish my own studio and bring back not just hand-drawn traditional animation but also traditional techniques: hand-inked and hand-painted cels, multiplane cameras, and successive exposure, and so forth. Once I realized that all the animation programs at the good art schools were emphasizing CG over traditional, I knew I couldn't take that path. I sometimes wonder what could have been if I had stuck with that plan, although I don't regret the difficulty I likely would have had finding work to support me before I could strike it out on my own. Perhaps you can live my old dream for me. =)

@Kinkzee 15 лет назад

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I've been searching for this song for three years. THREE YEARS! Well... three to five... but still! I LOVE THIS SONG! And I reconise all these movies except the one with the bunnies... Whch one was that?

@retrolord8546 4 года назад

That was Watership Down. Your welcome to check it out but I warn you, it's not as manageable as the others. But if you survived Secret of Nimh, then you might just survive Watership Down. Good luck.
