The Flying House (1921)
When its main husband character is behind the titular abode’s controls in the film, the moment almost resonates with the machinations of Kamaji in SPIRITED AWAY (2001). That’s high praise since I consider the latter to be the greatest animated film of all time.
The film has a slower pace than most other films on this list, but it makes up for that with truly beautiful panoramic shots and a final sequence in space that was the most investing journey to the extraterrestrial since A TRIP TO THE MOON (1902).
