Top Ten Best Animated Movie Sequels of the 2000s

As a child this was one of my favourite movies of all time. And I still consider it to be a masterpiece. It's not the best Shrek movie, but it's the second best. The story has got to be one of the best. It's incredibly original and shows you that some people won't be happy with who you are and some people will try their hardest to change you but in fact you should be yourself anyways because that's who you really are. Great message and not to mention how stunning and colourful the settings are. So memorable and deserves a spot.

Shrek 2 is what a great sequel should be, and its almost as good as the original Shrek.

Ice Age franchise is remarkably known for being a cash cow series as it's so far actually the only CGI animated movie series ever to have actually have a whooping four sequels. Or five installments if you prefer that. People surely have a lot of opinions about the Ice Age series but what most people agree on is that the first three movies were classics and it got bad after that. Well I think 4 is the best, but this third entry with dinosaurs is surely a close-second for me. Just the fact that it's centered around dinosaurs is enough to make it awesome. I meam some will say that makes this movie unoriginal as it's set in the Ice Age actually, but I don't really mind it that much because the way it's executed is alright. I love the jungle theme though and a lot of the dinosaurs look awesome. Also don't forget how awesome Buck is. Overall second best Ice Age movie, and second best animated sequel released in the 2000s decade.

The second Ice Age movie appears to be the least-talked about in the franchise. Most people rank it in the middle in their Ice Age rankings but honestly this movie is actually awesome. Yes I would also place it #3 in my Ice Age ranking but that's besides the point. This probably had the most reallistic plot in the series. Yes, the idea that everyone lived in one bown surrounded by water was kinda stupid, I mean how did they get there? But the whole concept isn't all that bad as the Ice Age ended at one point and you can really feel the terror that is coming in this movie with the whole flooding plot. The "villians" while random and really aren't "villians" are in my opinion awesome. It's really just because of how badass they look. It's two carnivorous fish. Cretaceous, a blue crocodile-like fish with fins, and Maelstrom (favourite), a fat green pliosaur who can smash ice. I love how one is green and the other blue because these colours fit so well together. Overall this movie is #5 ...more

This is one of the most nostalgic movies ever in my opinion along with Hotel Transylvania, Shrek 2 and the first two Toy Story movies. I mean looking back it certainly isn't that good and fun fact when I first saw it I hated it. But at the same time I had the most nostalgia for it and when I rewatched it the first time I loved it. Now it's just great. But seriously this is the best Madagascar movie. While it's a lot less talked about than the other two entries, I felt this movie had the absolute best setting. The african savannahs I really love and it especially fits considering the cast consists of african animals. I mean the first one was set on a tropical island (Madagascar) and the third one was in Europe. Please no. This is the purest movie of them all.

Haven't seen this either

In my opinion, this movie deserves the top spot. I've always been a fan of the Wallace and Gromit series by Aardman. They are fun, beautiful and impressive. Now some may not think this movie is deserving of being on the list seeing as it's the only full-length W&G movie, but it still is the fourth W&G movie after all and I need to pad this list out with items so yeah. All of the movies are short films, except for this one, which is a long film, and actually released by Dreamworks. Now you might say that this technically is a sequel, as it's the fourth installment in the Wallace & Gromit series, but this is the only one by Dreamworks, and it works as a stand-alone movie as well. I'm huge fan of this movie and it might be my favourite Wallace & Gromit movie as well. I loved the story, characters and charm this movie has. It was the first one I ever saw as well and it bears tons of nostalgia. It's my favourite one on this list.

Haven't seen it. Only know it exists so it's here to pad out the list.

One of the most underrated animated movie sequels ever in my opinion. Yeah the shrek franchise is pretty dead and irrelevant at this point but it will still be remembered as a great series. Third entry is my favourite as this movie just felt more interesting and had a much more darker tone than the previous two entries, it's not the most depressing of the series (that goes to the fourth one) but quite depressing. The story was also pretty cool. It has an incredibly meaningful message and plot because some people just aren't fit to be king like Shrek. I also loved the fact that Prince Charming was the villian, he was a pretty cool character in the second one and he gets even more personality in this one and it's awesome.

Again, haven't seen it

Haven't seen this movie as well. Only here for filler.
