It's for a watch party type of thing. Some examples of what I mean:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_%26_Rule
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starchaser:_The_Legend_of_Orin

I suppose 70s or very early 90s could work too

Gandahar
Time Masters
Tale of Tales
Fantastic Planet
Belladonna of Sadness (very NSFW for so many reasons)
When the Wind Blows
Only Yesterday

Don't know if any of them are party material. When the wind blows and Belladonna of sadness would probably be bummers.

Princes and Princesses
Tales of the Night

but I think that they might have come out in the early 2000s.

they're silhouette kinda animation, but they're pretty charming, IMO.

and if you want something that will make you feel stuff you might not want to, then It's Such a Beautiful Day

A Scanner Darkly & Waking Life are also great, IMO.

I found out "recently" that this cartoon is not as commonly known as I thought it was:

We had a VHS of this when I was a kid that was a US version dubbed into English by Feature Films for Families.

Hah, I was thinking of that one too.
Um, maybe...Brave Little Toaster and it's 2 sequels?
You may know Brave Little Toaster, but how many saw the 2 ridiculous sequels!?

Huh, how about that? I recall seeing that when I was too young to read. I'm glad I learned what movie it was about five years ago. Another one that I had been trying to find for years was Footroot Flats. It's comedic but not childish, with a few dark and dramatic moments. One that comes to mind is when the main character (a dog) freaks out when the bone he finds in his steel barrel/dog house is a (strikingly accurate depiction of a) clean-picked cow skull.
On the other end, it has this amusing segment.

Also, if you can, check out animated Asterix movies from the Asterix and Cleopatra up to Asterix in Britain.

I haven't seen it, but there's a Hungarian animated film called Son of the White Mare from '81, famed for its trippy animation and epic, mythical storytelling. Its been restored, and will have a (limited, probably) theatrical release and home video release some time in the near future. It looks frickin' cool amd weird. Here's a link, complete with trailer:

Twain actually is a movie, as far as I can tell its just divided into various episodic encounters or adventures. Either way, that's one I need to see too.

Also its way past the threshold TC was asking for, and not *terribly* obscure, but there's a 1954 adaptation of Animal Farm which is a popular classic in England, and Britain's first animated feature. I haven't seen it, either, but if one is looking for animated movies, it seems like something worth keeping in mind!

And while we're on the subject of obscure animated films that are older than the 70s and 80s, might as well go the whole distance: the earliest surviving animated feature is The Adventures of Prince Achmed, from 1926, and its on Blu-ray and probably available for streaming somewhere. Its a film made of cutout silhouettes and illustrated backgrounds, and also a silent film, so its quite simple, but trippy and beautiful.

I think I have seen this actually, looking into it. Not a bad suggestion even if it's not exactly 'on topic' narrowly

Thanks y'all

Oh shit! I almost forgot Allegro non troppo. Its a riff on Disney's Fantasia, made in '76, a bit of an old favorite which I haven't seen in like, 15 years.

Here's one of the numbers:

Also there's this other Hungarian one called Heroic Times, which I've never seen but it looks amazing. Like an animated oil painting.
