Robert Lee is a senior author at Collider who focuses on modern movie releases and animation, as well as both the best and worst films in a genre.
While it's a combination that is rarely seen due to them seemingly being such opposites, the strange and beautiful combination of animation and horror lends itself to film in unexpectedly effective ways. Animation has always been a genre defined by limitless potential and endless creativity, and combining it with the experimental and nightmarish concepts of the horror genre has resulted in a multitude of iconic feature films.
While still distinctly aimed towards children and younger audiences, Monster House doesn't shy away from darker themes and concepts and uses horror elements and concepts to the fullest extent. The jarring and sometimes offputting motion capture animation style that hindered a number of other ImageMovers films actually fits the amateur horror aesthetic of Monster House perfectly.
Even without going full horror, it's difficult to deny that the horror aesthetic and thematic elements present within Coraline have helped it secure a place among the best and most eerie entries into the animation canon. The way that the film slowly dives deeper and deeper into its disturbing world, climaxing in a beautiful and nightmarish concept of life being stolen away by force, makes for a particularly defining horror experience for the era.
Wicked City blends horror elements, action, and deeply philosophical themes in a staggering hand-drawn style that jumps off the screen and leaves a lingering impact. Its concepts and worldbuilding are some of the most singular and interesting animated movies of the era, further compounded by its seemingly endless creativity and captivating animation.
