typically when I think of japanese animation from the 60's I would think of the usual suspects, Astro Boy, Gigantor, Kimba, Speed Racer, the usuals. Which while iconic and important as they are aren't exactly the most fluid looking animation wise. Enter Little Prince, and absolutely beautiful animated film from Toei way back in 63.
This feels like a big budget Disney film from the time (and frankly I think it's better looking than a decent chunk of disney stuff…

Daimajin 1966
a political siege spanning 10+ years results in the destruction and summoning of ancient god monster Daimajin. Nice little period piece with a cool kaiju finale. Having a more human monster adds to the menace more since he can single out individuals, and being able to see the actor's eyes underneath is always welcome, makes them feels more alive. Looking to see how the next 2 improve on it.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines 2021
contender for prettiest CG film ever made
You get a traditional dysfunctional family story combined with robot apocalypse story, both are done well. And to top it off you get plenty of outstanding animation. Great effort all around.
