Animation fans and pros alike are remembering Satoshi Kon, who died Tuesday from pancreatic cancer at age 46. He didn't get to make many films, but the ones he did make were most memorable. His filmography:

Memories - 1995, Magnetic Rose segment, screenplay

Perfect Blue - 1998

Millennium Actress - 2001

Tokyo Godfathers - 2003

Paprika - 2007

The Dreaming Machine (in production)

and the TV series -

Paranoia Agent - 2004

Kon-sensei, you gave us some truly wonderful films. Please go to your rest in peace.

Sad to lose anyone so talented so early in life. To think that we'll miss the next 20-30 years of his potential work that could take him to Miyazaki-land is a huge loss.

Paprika was an amazing film, but little seen over here. I believe one person who DID see it was Christopher Nolan, and I would not be surprised at all if a great deal of the plot of Inception came out of his experience of seeing it.
