persepolis (2007)

Perspolis is a French-Iranian animation and is one of the most emotive animations I've seen. It is a direct adaptation of a graphic novel. I feel it was an important animation because of the topics it touches on. Animation can easily been seen as a branch of entertainment branded for children but the subject matter of Persepolis is far from that. It details one girls childhood and growth into adulthood through the iranian civil war detailing the horrors it imposes on someones life. The style of Persepolis is excellent as well since it is taken from a graphic novel rather than being an interpretation of a book, this brings a slightly different feel to the film than other animations as the original layout is based from a comic.
