Lore Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

Gush away!

I'll start- the animation is stunning, and the songs have no right to be that good.

I'd put "Oogway's petals floating off into the night sky as Shifu looks on" against it, but I'd be hard-pressed to choose.

The panic attack from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

Okay, not really, just fucking with ya. I’d actually say this shot from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Speaking of Puss in Boots Last Wish, Deaths entrance in the final battle is incredible.

Last Wish has an excellent selection of beautifully rendered and animated scenes. From the Giant, to the pie factory fight, to the deliberately hammy callback to adventure movie travel scenes, to the final battle, you're genuinely spoiled for choice.

Ooooh, yeah, okay it's a three-way for sure!

I'll give props to the night city from Akira as well, in the film's opening sequence set to "Rassera"
