Top 10 Best Non-Disney Animated Films

1. Shrek

   

   This was pretty weird, but still fantastic.

   The greatest fairy tale ever told.

2. Despicable Me

   

   So funny, I couldn't stop watching it!

3. Anastasia

   

   I loved this when I was young, and I still love the song at the beginning. It's so beautiful, and I sang it in an audition to land the role of Penny in my middle school production of Hairspray. And I got it!

   They said that song was beautiful. Even if you don't watch this beautiful classic, at least listen to the songs, especially the one at the beginning!

   This is the best! It has that Disney feel but is better than Disney movies (I'm saying this and I'm a huge Disney fan). Dimitri seems more like an ordinary man, and Anastasia doesn't have the whole princess personality but still acts with class.

   Such an amazing film. My second favorite film ever.

4. The Lego Movie

   

   Loved this film's song for ages, but I didn't watch the second one because I'm too old now.

   This is probably my favorite animated film ever. Hard choice.

5. How to Train Your Dragon

   

6. Ice Age

   

   This is below some movies I've never even heard of. Definitely number one.

7. Shrek 2

   

   No no no, Shrek 2 is my favorite movie of the franchise and one of the greatest sequels of all time! Boring? No way!

8. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

   

   This has amazing music. I could listen to the soundtrack forever.

   Back when DreamWorks actually made great 2D films.

9. The Land Before Time

   

   Inspired a fascination with dinosaurs as a kid.

10. The Simpsons Movie

    

    Springfield's funniest in their first big screen outing.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    The King and I

    

    The 1999 animated one, not the old one

12. ?

    Toy Story

    

    I know Disney owns Pixar, but this movie came out in 1995, long before Disney bought them.

    If The Simpsons Movie gets to stay on here, so should Pixar movies made before 2006.

The Contenders

13. Despicable Me 2

    

    What a great film.

14. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

    

    Best movie ever! I want to find a list where this movie was ranked number one. Can you PLEASE tell me where to find it?

    Absolutely hilarious and endlessly quotable.

15. The Prince of Egypt

    

    One of the lucky few that managed to triumph during the monopoly of the Disney Renaissance.

    Magnificent music, gripping take on Moses. You even feel sorry for Pharaoh.

16. How to Train Your Dragon 2

    

    It's among my favorite movies of all time.

17. Kung Fu Panda

    

18. Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku

19. Antz

    

20. An American Tail

    

    The ending of this movie made me happy cry.

    "Never say never!" Take that, Justin Bieber.

21. The Iron Giant

    

    Most underrated animated film ever. Lack of advertising due to lack of studio confidence was the reason for its obscurity.

    NEEDS TO BE HIGHER!

22. Balto

    

    This is as good as any Disney movie.

    Based on an inspiring true story.

23. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

    

    An amazing and hilarious movie. The part where Cartman battles against Saddam Hussein is hilarious.

24. Cats Don't Dance

    

    I loved Cats Don't Dance! Especially Danny and Sawyer, but mostly Danny! He has a dream, I have a dream. This movie was made for me!

    One of the few non-Disney animated musicals to score a fresh rating in the 1990s.

25. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

    

26. FernGully: The Last Rainforest

    

    During the Disney Renaissance in the 90s, most non-Disney animated musicals were failed imitations. But FernGully, along with The Prince of Egypt, Anastasia, and Cats Don't Dance, were the miraculous few that broke through with fresh ratings.

27. The Secret of NIMH

    

    Don Bluth's underrated masterpiece.
