Remove All American Media And Culture From Your Life
Anti-imperialist comm to help you in your personal journey of cultural anti-imperialism.
American culture has spread all over the world, it has dumbed down and impoverished our variegated pre-colonial and non-capitalist cultures. Every time you yank yourself, a bit of their culture worms its way into your mind. Sometimes it's explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes it's subtle: the contempt shown for the poor, the celebration of selfishness, the value-system of their empire.
All inputs enter the mind, are absorbed, and blossom as thoughts and deeds. Mass-produced culture dulls you and makes you a boring, mass-produced personality. And nations are losing their personality by letting one imperial power do this to them.
That the empire is doing this as a more-or-less deliberate tool of influence doesn't need stressing.
Stop doing this to yourself. Don't watch their television. Don't watch their films. Don't read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Don't be so fucking boring. You don't have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your country's classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.

Fantastic Planet stands out, as do the Flรฅklypa movies. Once Upon a Time... is nostalgic for me. Birdboy was a doozy I watched a few months ago, I can certainly recommend that one.
There were a lot of good animations from the USSR, but the one nearest to my heart has to be Polygon. The USSR didn't produce many animated series but there is Vesyolaya Karusel' and Nu Pogodi and stuff.
The DPRK is best known for Squirrel & Hedgehog. Otherwise, anilist.co actually lets you search for animation from Mainland China, Taiwan, and South Korea. I've personally seen Look, I Can See Your Ears! which I think was actually a Chinese-Japanese co-production, and I saw the film Nezha recently.
I guess I can also mention, like, '90s Tintin and Aardman stuff but like, everybody knows those already.
The UK generally has a lot of good stop motion, though. You might already know Bumper Films' Fireman Sam, but did you know Bumper Films also made a show called Joshua Jones? It's cute, it's fun, it's positive Romani representation in nineteen-ninety-friggin-two, it's a neat little historical artifact.

Don't forget Clever Raccoon Dog. I believe it's on youtube.
If stop motion is ok, I've been meaning to watch No Dogs or Italians Allowed. Looks good
Wallace & Gromit too of course
