History SceneryPorn / AnimatedFilm

* The Thief and the Cobbler's Recobbled Cut. The whole thing's on {{Youtube}}. To use another troper's example, Imagine ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' on marijuana and cough syrup.[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bggDbbKyuXk=1h11m40s Look at this fucking scene]]. It was made BEFORE CGI was invented.

* The Irish/Belgian/French film ''Film/TheSecretOfKells''. It toys with perspective masterfully in some scenes, and others are simply ''jaw-dropping''.

** Disney/{{Aladdin}} (1992) is full of Scenery Porn, drawn from reference photos of actual Islamic architecture. Not actual ''medieval Arabic'' architecture, mind you, but actual Islamic architecture.

* Every production released by HayaoMiyazaki (and StudioGhibli by extension) manages to pull at least a long sequence of very pretty scenery. (Given Miyazaki's [[AuthorAppeal love of flying]], it's no surprise that every work has at least one extended aerial sequence.)

** Once ''TheCroods'' set out on their road trip, practically every stop is gorgeous to look at, especially the hidden oasis in the rock labyrinth.

* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'': Berk is gorgeous.

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''. Even if you don't count the opening two minute dream sequence storyboarded and overseen by the respected and famous James Baxter (whom you may have been introduced to via ''Disney/TheLionKing''), just about every shot of the Valley of Peace counts as this... and the Jade Palace... and Chorh-Gom in the Mongolian mountains... and the suspension bridge where Tai Lung fought the Furious Five. Talk about luscious!

* The "Plagues" sequence in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' is the wrath of God made manifest. It looks awesome. Most of the movie falls into this category, honestly. From simple dialogue scenes showing the vast majesty of the Egyptian empire, to Moses walking out his front- er, tent flap to be greeted with sweeping mountain landscapes, to the crossing of the Red Sea, the movie is pretty much a scenery porn extravaganza.

* All over the place in ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians''. Highlights include each of the guardians' main base of operations - the first walkthrough of North's workshop, the flight to Tooth's palace, various shots of Bunny's warren and even the first visit to Pitch's lair.

** ''Disney/TheLionKing'' (1994)

** ''Disney/{{Hercules}}

** Just from the trailer, you can tell that ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' is continuing the tradition. For those curious, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0LiJmSX2fs&feature=player_embedded this]] [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome is a real-life example of the film's lantern scene]].

** ''Disney/AliceInWonderland''(1951)

* {{Pixar}} is very good at this:

** ''WesternAnimation/{{WALL-E}}''. Earth as a desolate wasteland is ironically the most beautiful looking thing in the film.

** ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' and ''ToyStory2'' both feature the same tree (to different levels of detail and mood).

* The "Plagues" sequence in ''ThePrinceOfEgypt'' is the wrath of God made manifest. It looks awesome. Most of the movie falls into this category, honestly. From simple dialogue scenes showing the vast majesty of the Egyptian empire, to Moses walking out his front- er, tent flap to be greeted with sweeping mountain landscapes, to the crossing of the Red Sea, the movie is pretty much a scenery porn extravaganza.

** ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' (1937): Especially during an early scene (just before the nightmare fuelish forest scene) of Snow picking flowers in the forest.

* The ''Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland'' animated movie perfectly captures the jaw-droppingly virtuoso style of artwork that made Creator/WinsorMcCay's original comic strip so memorable. Even the movie's infamous NightmareFuel is rendered lushly, with a large amount of fine detail.

* Every {{animated film|s}} by René Laloux, director of obscure French weirdness like ''Animation/FantasticPlanet'', ''Animation/{{Gandahar}}'', and ''Animation/TimeMasters''. Bizarre but beautiful alien worlds that look straight out of a SalvadorDali painting. ''Fantastic Planet'' is a particularly bizarre example; wallowing in strange crystalline structures and surreal images. It's Scenery Porn [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on drugs]].

* Disney's ''Disney/{{Dinosaur}}'' is this with a little story thrown in. In fact, just ignore the storyline and concentrate on the [[DistractedByTheShiny stunning visuals]].

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' has this from the freaking ''[[http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/06/22/brave-poster-pixar-first-look/ poster]]''. And it's set in the Scottish Highlands, meaning there will be more to come.

** ''{{Disney/Pinocchio}}'' (1940): What a pretty town!
** ''{{Disney/Bambi}}'' (1942) was pretty much entirely Scenery Porn, with a little bit of story thrown in.

** {{Disney/Aladdin}} (1992) is full of Scenery Porn, drawn from reference photos of actual Islamic architecture. Not actual ''medieval Arabic'' architecture, mind you, but actual Islamic architecture.

** ''{{Disney/Pocahontas}}'' (1995) - literally painting with all the colors of the wind.

** The shots of Chinese countryside in ''{{Disney/Mulan}}'' (1998) were fabulous, especially during "A Girl Worth Fighting For".
** ''{{Disney/Tarzan}}'' (1999) had a lot of it.

* The animated film ''{{Anime/Patlabor}} 2'' has a large amount of Scenery Porn. The apex of this is the "boat scene" in which two characters have a long, extremely philosophical conversation while riding a small boat down a [[color:blue:water]]way. As the conversation goes on, the camera view focuses on old buildings, factories, and other features of a near-future Tokyo.
* While {{the original series}} had its moments, ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' takes this to non-stop, {{Nerdgasm}}ic levels of Scenery Pornography. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_KtKhP2AQc Seriously, just watch the second movie's trailer.]]
* The 2004 ''{{Manga/Appleseed}}'' movie, particularly the flyby of Olympus in the beginning. The {{sequel}} Ex Machina does this better still.
* ''{{Anime/Steamboy}}''. The film took sixteen years to make, and boy does it show.
* The 2009 ''Anime/UchuuSenkanYamato'' film is a mixture of this and TechnologyPorn, with grand {{space opera}} battles and detailed spacecraft interiors and exteriors.
* Much of ''TheSkyCrawlers'' is devoted to featuring the beautiful vistas of Ireland and Poland, as well as the incredibly detailed indoor settings.
* ''Anime/AngelsEgg'' is Yoshitaka Amano's and Mamoru Oshii's visual poem. With only about five minutes of dialog in its seventy minute run time the absolutely gorgeous visuals carry the film's elegant, surreal and poignant "narrative".
* ''{{WesternAnimation/Coraline}}'' is this trope mixed with {{plot}}. The garden and mouse circus scenes in the other world are beyond breathtaking, especially in 3D. All done in [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome stop-motion.]]

* Disney's ''{{Disney/Dinosaur}}'' is this with a little story thrown in. In fact, just ignore the storyline and concentrate on the [[DistractedByTheShiny stunning visuals]].

** ''{{Wall-E}}''. Earth as a desolate wasteland is ironically the most beautiful looking thing in the film.
** ''{{WesternAnimation/Cars}}'' has a long scene at the start and finish that is pretty much all Scenery Porn.
** And its {{sequel}}, ''Cars 2'', takes it UpToEleven with new settings and colorful environments. At some points it looks a little ''too'' realistic for a universe made of Cars.

** ''{{WesternAnimation/Up}}'' has some ''amazing'' shots of the jungle, ranging from rocky terrain to lush foliage and everything in between. But it's not only that -- even the cityscape and the ''sky'' can be counted in this trope.
** ''{{WesternAnimation/Brave}}'' has this from the freaking ''[[http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/06/22/brave-poster-pixar-first-look/ poster]]''. And it's set in the Scottish Highlands, meaning there will be more to come.

* ''{{WesternAnimation/Rio}}'' is FULL of this. There are gorgeous scenes of the jungle, but then you get to the flight scenes where we see them overhead, and oh boy! The parade also looks amazing, with dancers in great costumes and beautiful floats. A float featuring a scarlet macaw stands out in particular.

** ''Film/FindingNemo'' has some very impressive underwater scenes.

* ''{{Film/Rio}}'' is FULL of this. There are gorgeous scenes of the jungle, but then you get to the flight scenes where we see them overhead, and oh boy! The parade also looks amazing, with dancers in great costumes and beautiful floats. A float featuring a scarlet macaw stands out in particular.

* ''FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' has the settings of Edge and Midgar for the battles with Bahamut Sin and Sephiroth, respectively.
