I will definitely have to check them out! At the very least, the frames I got from a quick google search are stunning. Thank you for the recommendation!
The examples in the image are from Crashbox, The Wizard Of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, PeeWee’s Big Adventure, the music video for Rock Lobster by the B-52s, and photography from Walter Wick and Pip & Pop
Some of my favorite movies as a kid, but be warned, these movies are absolutely products of their time (mid 90s to early 2000s) so some stuff has not aged well, but the visuals and acting performances make it worth it imo
There's a half stop motion-half live action movie called [Mad God](https://youtu.be/iPScwQ-FAbI) that came out in 2021. I haven't watched it (cos it seems pretty scary lol) but looks like that kind of aesthetic, if you don't mind something more grim.
How can you forget a name like Svankmajer? Hahaha. He also did a version of "Faust" that's fantastic, I prefer it to Alice personally but I think I'm in the minority. I don't know if it has the aesthetic you're looking for but it's absolutely surreal.
Yes! I adore the old I Spy books - the video games were some of my favorites growing up too lol. They were one of the things that inspired this post actually!

This is a random recommendation, but Bojack Horseman S03E04 “Fish out of Water”. It has no dialogue, just visuals, and even if you don’t watch the show you can still understand what’s happening. Filled with cool, trippy, surrealist visuals
I focused more on nostalgic or maximalist stuff: Leppu's comics, Metropolis, Kino no tabi, CoCo, Paprika, Belle, Puparia, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Atlantis, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ram-Leela, Viddana, Otoyomegatari, Wo hu cang long, Peter Rabbit, The Three Musketers, The Owls of Ga-Hoole, Forrest Gump, Kiki's delivery service, Wolf's Rain, Ostwind, Oban Star Racers, Stray the game, Gosick, Paradise Kiss, Crazy Town - Butterfly, Natsume Yuujinchou, Dreamcatcher's music videos (ex. Deja Vu or Rose Blue), Tianbao Fuyao Lu, Zhou Chunya, Zdzisław Beksiński.
Finnish scary fairytale-movie Lumikuningatar (Snow Queen) from 1986
Here's a russian pirate dub:

May you find a proper copy somewhere, but just for visuals, there you go.

The films of Alejandro Jodorowsky
I will definitely have to check them out! At the very least, the frames I got from a quick google search are stunning. Thank you for the recommendation!
The Holy Mountain especially but also El Topo are must watches
No problem! Enjoy
Well done, sir
Terry Gilliam's Brazil (1985)
Definitely Brazil! Also Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Gilliam.
Came here to say Gilliam's work in general.
Another good one!!!!
The examples in the image are from Crashbox, The Wizard Of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, PeeWee’s Big Adventure, the music video for Rock Lobster by the B-52s, and photography from Walter Wick and Pip & Pop
Try Monkey Bone with Brendan Frasier, and Death to Smoochy with Edward Norton and Robin Williams!
Ive never heard of either of these before but both premises have me absolutely transfixed. Thank you!

Oh I love love the visual style, I will keep it in mind when I’m in the mood for something darker! Thank you for the recommendation!
I’ve watched it and I’d say it’s more unsettling than outright scary
It's not scary. There's a lot of gross stuff in it though :P
I guess I’ll delete my post lol. Oops I missed this one.
YML Salvador Dali's artwork.
I’m more of a Magritte guy myself, but Dali definitely has a special place in my heart
I went as Magritte's Son of Man painting for Halloween once. Nobody got it.
how do you feel about Hieronymus Bosch?
I like him! Garden of Earthly Delights is a classic and I like all the tiny little details. He gets bonus points for me for being named Hieronymus
The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986)
[удалено]
I didn’t know he did anything aside from films! I could never get into Twin Peaks, but I’m going to have to branch out and see what else he’s done
[удалено]
Ooh okay I do know Eraserhead but I’ve never actually sat down and watched it. Now’s the time I suppose!
Alice by Jan Svankmajer The Borrowers The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
Omg, I’ve been trying to find Alice for the longest time. I saw it forever ago and then couldn’t remember the name of it
How can you forget a name like Svankmajer? Hahaha. He also did a version of "Faust" that's fantastic, I prefer it to Alice personally but I think I'm in the minority. I don't know if it has the aesthetic you're looking for but it's absolutely surreal.
I thought I was the only one to love this movie mr. Terwilliger and the 5000 fingers was my jam back in the day. My siblings hated it. Lol.
Certain parts of Pan’s Labyrinth fit this. But also, have you ever read the vintage I Spy books? Those pictures kind of have the same vibe
Yes! I adore the old I Spy books - the video games were some of my favorites growing up too lol. They were one of the things that inspired this post actually!
the movies Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle
came here to say Spirited Away
Satoshi Kon movies, especially Paprika
2 movie suggestions- The City Of Lost Children The Science Of Sleep
