Have you seen Your Name? Like Rock Dog, it could be considered either a 2016 or a 2017 film depending on whether you go by overseas or North American release.
I keep thinking I'm going to produce a Top 10 list of animated films from 2016, but at present there are some contenders I haven't seen yet, including Rock Dog, My Life as a Zucchini, Koe no Katachi, and a couple of others. So far my top four are Moana, Kubo and the Two Strings, Your Name, and Zootopia; others currently in my Top 10 are Finding Dory, The Red Turtle, The Little Prince,Sing, Kung Fu Panda 3, and The Secret Life of Pets, but a couple of those are likely to get bumped off if the not-yet-seen films are as good as the reviews indicate. Incidentally, a couple that I disqualified as being 2015 films due to overseas releases are The Boy and the Beast and April and the Extraordinary World.
As you say, there don't seem to be many strong entries yet for 2017. We'll have to wait and see if any strong contenders emerge, or what lesser-known and less-promoted films emerge as worth seeking out.
