Although I like "Under the Red Hood", I'd say "Mask of the Phantasm" by far. Everything, from the visual design to the characters and the emotional impact was just so beautifully done.
Also, although "red hood" had good voice-acting, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill pretty much ARE Batman and the Joker in "Phantasm". So yes, "Hood" is good, "Phantasm" is an animated classic

In terms of action I would say both were about the same. The cliche part that really pushed Mask of the Phantasm over Red Hood was the love story. They put in this chick who almost made Bruce Wayne quit being Batman just so he can finally be happy. We're always caught up with Batman is a badass and can never be happy and we're given a cohesive story where he had the chance to.
(SPOILERS from Dark Knight Rises - Alfred talked about seeing a happy Bruce Wayne and we got one where it wasn't really all that cohesive at the end of the movie. If they had used some storylines from Mask of the Phantasm it would've made it more believeable.)
The Red Hood was more about Jason trying to set up his scenario where Batman would just murder the Joker. I wasn't really all that emotionally invested in it. -

Both films center around a rival masked vigilante (revealed to be someone from Bruce's past) who lack Batman's moral code and has a vendetta against the Joker.
Good points actually. But that's as far as it goes. There's no origin, no love story. -

I'm glad ya'll mentioned this because these two movies really show who Batman is while carrying the same moral story.
Mask of Phantasm: Shows the classic noir romance feel of the the Detective Comics Batman, something that none of the movies have really played with.
Under the Red Hood: The more action packed modern Batman and Robin comics. Btw, this was the first time Jason Todd had ever been mentioned outside the comics (even Damian Wayne was mentioned in the Brave and the Bold)
No Number is best. 3 builds better than 2. 2 loves better than 1 and 1 mind is better than 3. -

I gave it a shot, but only got 2 episodes in. I'm not a fan of the monster-parts of DCU and the particular animation style of BtAS. I know many people like it though, it just doesn't ring my bell

While I love both, I'd say Mask because it explored Bruce's dilemma between becoming Batman and being with Andrea. He realized he wasn't above emotions like he thought. He thought he would never find love and be happy, and when she rolls by, he starts questioning himself and his promise. Plus the music really put you more into the movie than UtRH's music did
That awkward moment when you think someone's signature is apart of the post.
