I know there are a least a few fans of non Disney or non Western in general animation.  Just watched "Belle."  Ended up being quite different than what I expected.  There is a wallflower high school girl named Suzu who joins an immersive virtual world along with most of the rest of the planet called U.  She creates an avatar called Belle who becomes a sensation.  She becomes entangled with a mysterious "villain" known as The Beast.  Obvious parallels to Beauty and the Beast, but it's an entirely different story.  As the authorities within U try desperately to unveil the real identity of The Beast, the story takes a huge turn that caught me completely off guard.  Won't say any more than that.  Overall I liked it.  Some of the scenes with Suzu with her peers in school were kind of frustrating and super awkward.  Interesting taking elements of a classic tale and mixing it with our current reality of social media and online alter egos.
