The magical connection sparks a romance, but it doesn't work out so easily for them. Your Name begins as a body-swap dramedy, following two teenagers, a boy from Tokyo and girl from the boonies who dreams of moving to the big city, who sporadically jump into each other's lives.

Your Name is affixed to a place in 2016 history - but is it technically a 2017 movie? We threw it on our Best Animated Films of 2017 list for good measure, but technically the movie made its way to U.S. This Japanese animated film became the first anime not directed by the revered Hayao Miyazaki to rake in over $100 million, went on to become the country's fourth highest-grossing film of all time, and proved that anime can still be prestigious in these corporate times. Don't mistake this for kid-friendly entertainment (seriously, don't - the therapy bills would be astronomical), but it's a must see for adults who can stomach tragi-tainment. Birdboy: The Forgotten Children is one nightmare after another, gorgeously illustrated and poetic on a fate we may all suffer.

Like if Lars von Trier directed episodes of Adventure Time, Birdboy: The Forgotten Children traces a series of increasingly upsetting character lines: a female mouse whose abusive step-parents drive her to flee their decimated homeland a young rabbit trying to shake off the demonic voices in her head a pig sailor forced to feed his mother's addiction, which manifests as a mutant spider two rats, a father and son, who rummage through the wasteland until another father-son pair fight them to the death over scrap metal and the title character, an avian orphan with a heroin addiction who might save the planet, if the rifle-toting cops don't kill him first. Picturesīased on director Alberto Vázquez's graphic novel Psiconautas, this Spanish-language cartoon stars adorable, anthropomorphic animals in the most horrific, post-apocalyptic scenario imaginable. This isn't just a movie reveling in the eye-popping visuals of Dia de Los Muertos, but one that speaks a language, and plots a roller-coaster ride through a living, breathing heritage. The ofrenda, the holiday's ritual alter, is a centerpiece of the movie, and it's design extends to corner of Coco's imaginative alternate dimension. Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich worked with bastions of Mexican culture to give Coco an air of integrity and it shows. It takes a magical guitar, a trip to underworld during the Day of the Dead, and Hector, a skeletal specter no one on Earth remembers, to help Miguel learn a thing or two about responsibility and to show his family the truth about its musical history. Twelve-year-old Miguel dreams of being a musician, but ever since his guitar-playing great-great-grandfather walked out on his wife, music has been banned in the family. Pixar's latest original is cast from the classic "you're special and here's why" mold - but when it looks this fantastic, you can't write it off.
