This week on Episode 312 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by The Lego Movie 2 and suggested from Patron Steven Keller, we discussed our favorite non-Disney animated films from our childhood. This was simultaneously very nostalgic, but also somewhat challenging as we had to recall films from a specific period of time and some of them we haven’t seen in quite awhile. However, it was really fun to go back and think about some of the more underseen or under-talked about gems from our childhood. Big thanks to Steven for the suggestion! That said, here are our lists:

Hopefully you guys enjoyed our lists and if you agree or disagree with us, let us know in the comment section below. As mentioned above, this category is rich in material to sift through and we barely scratched the surface of all that is available. So, there is a chance we are missing some directors and actors that would be on your list. That being said, what would be your Top 3?
