Is Felidae the best adult animated movie?
https://youtu.be/LsptPXihOMY
Felidae is a film noir murder mystery about cats dying in a neighborhood, but it features violence, s*x, language, and was ahead of it's time. Is it worthy of being on the though?

New video this Friday!
As part of the Animated 100 List, I wanted to look at the oldest animated film still in existence. The Adventures of Prince Achmed is a gorgeous silhouette animated silent feature. If you want to watch it prior to the video (it's less than 90 minutes) then you can watch it for free on YouTube. I recommend watching the English translation (the cutaway text is in German) while also playing the version with music in the background. Basically, click both links and sync it up.
