Felidae is great. So is Plague Dogs and Watership Down. Unlike other talking animal movies where it's all about cute fluffy little critters singing and dancing, these movies are intense, deep, and graphic.
I watched Plague Dogs and to me it had really good animation but the copy I was watching had crappy sound so I stopped it around halfway through because I couldn't understand what in the world they were saying (and the music was really loud compared to the voices too).
You know I've never seen Watership Down, but I heard good things about it. I'll probably go look it up and watch it myself.
It's a humongous shame that they aren't know well in the US, but I guess people just assume that because it's animation it was meant for the younger crowd.

Man, I hate how people assume a cartoon is for kids just because it's a cartoon. What about Family Guy or South Park? They certainly weren't meant for little children.
BTW, both Plague Dogs and Watership Down are on YouTube. Go check them out when you get the chance. (I have to warn you though, they get rather scary and sad at some parts.)

Well that's another thing too. The only "adult" cartoons you see are usually comedy but you never see any "serious" films that are animated nowadays and even those are almost always somehow family oriented. One thing that bugs me because I'm a perfectionist is how none of the animals in Disney/related films ever use the bathroom or mark their territory (it's rarely used, but for comedy and not realism), or how they're not drawn with anuses/sheaths like real animals. How could you tell for sure the animal's a he/she besides the voice?
Haha, no need to warn me, if I can watch A Clockwork Orange without blinking I'm pretty sure I can watch these too.
I'm gonna try to watch Watership Down today if I don't get distracted first.

Do talking insects count? If so I really like the movie Antz. 
As a kid when I first watched it I thought it was really cool seeing the world from a bug's point of view, and I felt that Dreamwork's Ants handled the insect world a lot more realistically than Disney's A Bug's Life did. I mean why in the heck would a black widow be hanging around a bunch of flies instead of trying to eat them?
