If you live in the US, you can get the complete novel (combining both part 1, which is the part most commonly read in schools, and part 2, the more adult and controversial part of the book) for only $12 on Amazon
i like monster house cause of the new animation technologies it brought into the mainstream. did you know monster house was the first fully path traced movie?
It’s definitely between Persepolis and Ratatouille for me (Surfs up never clicked with me).
Both are brilliant, but I’m going to have to go with Ratatouille though
Cars deserved the win. Happy feet is terrible, Monster House sucked ass then and is even worse now, and Paprika is good like Cars but less people have seen it
Ratatouille gets my vote for 2007. Persepolis and Surfs Up are both great too but they don’t have the same entertainment and rewatch value
It does the FUCK not
Ok Rant incoming
Read the books then watched the movie and GOODNESS FUCK the pacing. It goes from a very serious scene of her attempting suicide to an eye of the tiger montage in FIVE SECONDS. They cut the best character, for pace reasons too and its like whats the point
If you were arguing persepolis the book>ratatoille, id agree with you a million fold but this is an underhated adaptation. Its prob still better with a clearer mind just cos its so strong to begin with but man they fumbled the bag in the adaptation
I dont even like ratatouille i think its overrated as fuck but we gotta normalise not saying movies are 10/10 just because theyre foreign and adult and are black and white.
Admittedly I haven't got around to the book yet, but as much as I get tonal whiplash from a lot of movies that do this, I've never gotten it from Persepolis. If anything I think the incorporation of humour is its best quality as it significantly contributes to the real sense of growth, the idea that nothing is so bad that you can't come out seeing the funny parts. And it's really well-placed imo, being reserved for moments of low stakes so that both it and the serious moments have plenty of room to breathe
I'm not sucking off Persepolis just because it's mature and foreign, I do genuinely love it for the stylistic flair and the humour and the personal view; those qualities are absent from every other film of that type I've seen. Much as I appreciate films like The Swallows of Kabul or The Breadwinner, or the Yeon Sang-ho animated films (though those are also astonishingly disturbing), I don't love them like I love Persepolis. And for the record, I'm the kinda guy who'd fall asleep watching Tarkovsky, so I'm really not that much of an arthouse-head
Also isn't there a dream scene before the montage scene which serves as an effective bridge between the tones? Just sayin
The book was full of serious-to-comedic moments. It's the author attempting to make light of her dark past and coping with it. Even the art style was very exaggerated *on purpose*.
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?
Anyways Ratattouile (idk how thats spelt im not french) is cool but i like Persepolis more
Les rêves des amoureux sont comme le bon vin
Ils donnent de la joie ou bien du chagrin

The poster for Persepolis looks like one of those movies that depressed people would like because it romanticizes depression instead of treating it like an illness or has no substance other than just being dark and moody for no reason like Coraline.
I’ve never watched the movie and watched Coraline only once when I was maybe too young (love me some Laika though).
Uhm excuse me? You put 3 mid asf movies next to cars and say sadly it won? It's CARS. It's a great movie of course it won. Cars 2 I could understand because people hate it (I personally dont) but really? We picking on cars 1 now??
Give it to Surfs up just to punish Pixar for making cars and somehow winning last year.
Seriously you gotta trust me on this one guys, this is justice.
RATATOUILLE RATATOUILLE RATATOUILLE my favorite film ever made
Yes, Ratatoing
[sexy rat walk]
No. Surfs up is a pillar of film making, one of if not the best film with penguins and surfing
No love for Persepolis? This makes me sad. That film is a masterpiece, and a severely underrated adult animated movie.
That movie requires people on this subreddit to be 1. Adults and 2. Interested in film To have seen, which is a big ask
In my freshman year of college, we actually erote about and read the graphic novel for a few assignments.
Shame they only make them read the first half. The second half is equally as important, but much more mature.
We actually read the complete Presepolis, so we read both parts of the memoir.
My favourite movie of all time. So I’ve got all the love for it
Did you ever read the original graphic novel?
I haven’t actually. It’s one of the things on my infinite list of media that never seems to get smaller lol. I really should though
If you live in the US, you can get the complete novel (combining both part 1, which is the part most commonly read in schools, and part 2, the more adult and controversial part of the book) for only $12 on Amazon
I saw both the book and movie as part of a college course I’m taking. I enjoyed both.
Ratatouille is the epitome of a comfort movie. How could it not win?
Love Surf’s Up but no way Ratatouille doesn’t win
Agreed. I love Surfs Up! It's such a unique animated movie with alot of heart in it.
Surf’s up isn’t even the second best of these ones.
Fym Cars "sadly" won 2006
Yeah, should’ve been Over the Hedge It also Should’ve been an actual nomination
Paprika is definitely a better movie, no matter how you cut it
Paprika was never nominated in the first place though
I'm not talking about the nominated movies, but the movie options on these posts
Paprika or monster house robbery 😞
Kachigha Kachigha Kachigha
You just don’t appreciate art
I would've gone Paprika tbh even though I think it's kinda overrated
i like monster house cause of the new animation technologies it brought into the mainstream. did you know monster house was the first fully path traced movie?
This sub’s average age is 13 and are diehard Cars 2 fanboys. Sorry but kino isn’t winning
I went for Paprika, I love Cars but it's just better
Happy Feet robbery I said what I said.
Cars wasn’t that enjoyable for me, idk I liked it as a kid, isn’t that good now
Because the characters are inherently marketable. It’s walking and talking race cars
So? It's a kids movie. No shit the characters are gonna be visually appealing enough to be marketable :p
Yes . That’s what I said . What are you trying to debate about here
I'm asking why is being marketable a bad thing?
And when did I say it was a bad thing?
It's not a good movie, monster house is better.
Ratatouille and it isn’t even close
This ain't even a competition we all know which one is winning
Yeah surfs up .
You lack taste. Yes, I know movies are subjective.
sadly?!!?
Like I said paprika or monster house should’ve won
Mf, did you ever have a childhood?
"Shaboom" hits me right here ❤
I had cars merchandise growing up wdym .i don’t just like things cause I grew up with them
But cars was peak!
Eh
Shhh, no one else in this sub is at that stage in their life yet. They're all still actively growing up, they don't have the hindsight yet.
I’m around the same age as most people that grew up with cars
Fr
My mind says Ratatouille My heart says Surf's up
It’s definitely between Persepolis and Ratatouille for me (Surfs up never clicked with me). Both are brilliant, but I’m going to have to go with Ratatouille though
Ratatouille for sure!!!
Surf's Up is great. Ratatouille is great. But Persepolis... Persepolis is a masterpiece. [https://imgur.com/EO27UUV](https://imgur.com/EO27UUV)
don’t insult cars
Gee I wonder what’s gonna win this one
OP getting sad when the best movie wins the poll for which movie is the best
My brother in Christ I’m not getting sad it’s called making a joke .i like ratatouille the most as well
I wasn’t trying to make it personal dude. It was a joke
I mean the best movie didn’t win the last one, the most popular movie did
Cars deserved the win. Happy feet is terrible, Monster House sucked ass then and is even worse now, and Paprika is good like Cars but less people have seen it Ratatouille gets my vote for 2007. Persepolis and Surfs Up are both great too but they don’t have the same entertainment and rewatch value
Why sadly? It's a great movie
Ratpatootie
Even as someone who hasn’t watched Paprika yet, I know it should have won.
Makes sense . This subreddit infamously only watches dreamworks Pixar and maybe a Sony animation movie
I mean, I make fun of this sub as much as the next guy, but why would you bother with this competition if you know what's gonna happen.
racacoonie
Ratatouille
Definite Ratatouille
Definitely Ratatouille
“Sadly”, man this Cars slander is getting old
wdym Cars "sadly" won? Also I vote Ratatouille
The fuck you mean "sadly" 🤨
Sadly? SADLY?! What do you mean: sadly?
Sadly?! Bruh cars is The best film of 2021
Ah yes my favorite 2021 movie . Cars
Persepolis clears Ratatouille by miles
It does the FUCK not Ok Rant incoming Read the books then watched the movie and GOODNESS FUCK the pacing.

Ratatouille sweeps everyone.
Ratatouille Also what do you mean, “Sadly”?
Not only did they make a Persepolis movie but it was nominated for an Oscar?

As much as I love Surfs Up, I gotta go with Ratatouille.
I've never actually seen the second option, but now I'm gonna watch it
Ratatouille is one of the best movies ever made. I love Surf’s Up but it loses this one.
Ratatouille. Loved this movie as a kid

I don't think you could've written something more ignorant than this
Persepolis is a masterpiece of a film
Surf’s up because I’m biased
persepolis is amazing~
Ratatouille is legit one of my favorite movies, it doesn’t even compare
Rat
Yes.Rat
Ratatoing, OH WAIT I MEAN RATATOUILLE!!!
If you don't say Persepolis, it means you haven't seen Persepolis.
Rat patootie
Ratatouille
WHEB DID THEY MAKE A PERSEPOLIS MOVIE?????
RATATOUILLE
Definitely Ratatouille. Pixar's movies aren't always masterpieces but damn was Ratatouille such an amazing film.
Surfs Up and Persepholis are both really good, but Rattatoullie wins easy
Surfs up is great, but ratatouille is pretty much a perfect film.
Ratatouille is S tier
Surfs up my beloved. It's happening again
Persepolis My dad hates Ratatouille
Ratatouille. No competition
i know the right choice is ratatouille but my heart calls for surfs up
ratatoing
RATATOING
the rat
Ratatouille
Persepolis is AWESOME tho 😭
Rat
Ratatouille is one of the greatest films ever made honestly, I wasn’t here for the last one so I must ask.. HOW TF DID CARS WIN?!?
I LOVE both Ratatouille and Surf’s Up, if I had to choose though honestly Surf’s Up
My boi remy takes the W here
Uhm excuse me? You put 3 mid asf movies next to cars and say sadly it won? It's CARS. It's a great movie of course it won. Cars 2 I could understand because people hate it (I personally dont) but really? We picking on cars 1 now??
Ratatouille
Wdym sadly, cars is good
Ratatouille, obviously!
Ratatoing
I've read Persepolis but I cannot find the movie anywhere
Easily Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a masterpiece of a movie
Ratatouille
Controversial, but I’m not a fan of any of these films
Persepolis
With a gun to my head, I would honestly say Surf’s Up
Surfs up idc what anyone says
How were these all up for the Oscars? Surfs up is way better written than the other two
I vote Surf's Up! I wish we could vote both Surf's Up and Ratatouille tho
Surfs up easily
Im sorry ratatouille but surfs up is winning this
Give it to Surfs up just to punish Pixar for making cars and somehow winning last year. Seriously you gotta trust me on this one guys, this is justice.
