Navigate in the sea magnum of Netflix it’s never easy, between original productions, expiring titles and hidden gems: so we want to recommend five to you animation film present on the platform that in our opinion you should absolutely see, remaining on Western animation.
Let’s start with Where’s My Body by Jeremy Clapin: a truly hidden gem despite its Oscar nomination in 2020, it is the poignant story of a severed hand that tries to return to its body, that of the boy who lost it.
Always nominated for an Oscar in 2020 but fortunately it has now become almost a Christmas classic Klaus by Sergio Pablos. The retelling of the birth of the legend of Santa Claus and of Christmas itself, for a film to be seen again and again.
You can also find so much animated power in Entergalactic, created by Kid Cudi as an accompaniment to his latest album and directed by Fletcher Moules. A product capable of mixing romantic comedy with powerful and suggestive images.
It’s impossible not to recommend you Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro, a great film that reworks Collodi’s story through the sensitivity of one of the most recognizable contemporary authors in cinema. Here is our review of Pinocchio.
We close with Nimona, nominated for an Oscar in 2024 and unfortunately taken into the background given the unattainable opponents: however, he manages to make a beautiful speech on the role reversal between hero and villain, updating the fantasy in a brilliant way. Here is our review of Nimona.
Obviously as we told you on Netflix is full of Japanese animation to be recovered, but remaining within the Western context, these five products are absolutely worth seeing.
