Top 10 Best Animated Movies of All Time
Animated movies have an uncanny ability to transport us, young and old, to worlds where fish talk, toys come to life, and lions rule the savanna. But what makes an animated film truly great? Is it the humor that tickles our funny bone, the heart-wrenching moments that leave us misty-eyed, or the groundbreaking animation that leaves us in awe? Or perhaps it's a blend of all these elements, a magical concoction that lingers in our memories long after the credits roll.As Pixar was making this, some people were unsure about it. After all, computer animation was only used for short films back during the 80s and early 90s. Some even said that people couldn't watch over an hour of computer animation.
Everyone's minds changed soon after the first set of audiences watched it. Soon after, everyone started watching it and almost every other animated movie was made on the computer. The movie itself is also amazing. This movie changed how people looked at computer animation and is a classic that everyone should watch.
I love this movie. It's not just my favorite Disney movie or animated movie. It's my favorite movie of all time. The characters are relatable, the story is pure Shakespeare (I guess it's because the movie is based on Camelot), the songs are beautiful, and it has a mix of comedy, romance, and tragedy.
The only bad thing I could think of is more of an opinion. The "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" scene was okay for me at first, then it just got a tad bit "Okay, okay, I get it, you love each other, now where's Timon and Pumbaa?" This movie definitely made me cry when Mufasa died, and it made me laugh when Timon and Pumbaa sang "Hakuna Matata." Now, Mary Poppins may be "Walt's greatest film achievement," but The Lion King is "Disney's greatest film achievement."
I almost cry just thinking about when WALL-E and Eve are dancing in space. This movie is a masterpiece and so beautiful, heart-breaking, adorable, and hilarious.
This will most likely always be my favorite Pixar movie of all time. It's my second favorite movie of all time as well. Personally, it's literally impossible to hate this movie. The characters, the soundtrack, the plot, everything about this movie just blows my mind at times.
It tells the story of the robot Wall-E who works on Earth to clean up all the trash. The movie is set in the future when another robot, EVE, arrives on Earth to look for life. Wall-E instantly falls in love with her. Wall-E goes with EVE to space with the help of the ship EVE came in. The ship is actually part of the much larger Axiom ship, which holds all the humans that escaped Earth after it became uninhabitable. The friendship between Wall-E and EVE is so real, and it's amazing how much emotion a movie about robots can have. My only sort of flaw with the movie is that it's a bit slow in the beginning, but I wouldn't say it's a bad thing nevertheless.
Overall, it's one of the greatest films ever made in humanity. The message is very great as well, as it shows what will happen if we keep on polluting our planet. It deserves the top spot.
Funny, good moral, fun plot, and I like it. Nothing bad I can say about it. It teaches you that you don't have to be a perfect little princess or knight on a horse to find true love. This movie is excellent, and I give it a 10/10. I also like the memes. The sequels are all good, but the first Shrek is the best of them all - where it all started. A perfect movie.
I like the whole Shrek series. It is hilarious and interesting, with likable characters. I don't know why so many people hate Shrek The 3rd. That was a pretty good movie. I like all the Shrek movies.
Best movie ever - should definitely be in the top ten. It's so sad and heart-breaking at some points and then absolutely beautiful in others. The beginning, when Marlin rescues Nemo's egg and says, It's okay, Daddy's here, is so perfect. Hopefully, Finding Dory will be just as good. I have so much expectation for it.
I think it is easy to say that it is hard to make a movie that is perfect, but this movie is one of the only exceptions. I see myself revisiting this movie time and time again, and even today I can't think of anything I hate about the movie. I can see why people think 1-3 are better, but this is my personal favorite movie ever.
The sequence showing an entire marriage, all the ups and downs, all the love and heartbreak, is as powerful and gut-wrenching as anything ever put to film. It is all drawings, and not a single person speaks, and nothing has moved me as much as that sequence. And this is the same movie with talking dogs and flying houses and whatever Kevin was, and it all fits perfectly.
This movie was a hilarious, heartwarming film. It has everything a film needs: character development, great plot, amazing animation, and an excellent voice cast. It's funny, and just plain cute! This movie is an instant classic and one of the finest movies ever!
One of the finest family films of all time. The film teaches a dark message in a very lighthearted style. Its gorgeous animation, talented cast, and deep script have made it a must-watch film not only for kids but also for adults.
Perhaps one of the most intelligently written animated movies of all time. Deep-rooted concepts put in an animated movie to make it so engrossing and immediately engaging throughout. Fabulous!
Pixar's great comeback! Inside Out is a really great movie! Watch it now and vote for it because it's really great!
I believe Spirited Away should at least be in the top ten. It's a beautifully animated masterpiece set in a world that seems magical and imaginative. It's not some basic story about a princess finding her prince, or about some hero saving the day.
Instead, it's a story of self-growth. Chihiro is able to change from a rather whiny and spoiled kid to a person able to stand up for herself. And like all Miyazaki films, the movie teaches something about the importance of nature and balance.
The very same night I watched Spirited Away for the first time, I came to the conclusion that it was the greatest animated film of all time. The animation, the story, the messages, the characters, the character design, and the world-building are all superior to other animated films. Hayao Miyazaki is truly the master.
The Incredibles, Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Treasure Planet, Mask of the Phantasm, and Sinbad none of them compare to this film.
2004, in my opinion, was the best year for movies and TV. We were given films like Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and hit shows like Power Rangers Dino Thunder. However, I think The Incredibles was the best media of that year. This film was AMAZING!
I loved the score, which reminded me a lot of James Bond or Austin Powers. The film is the perfect mix of superhero and comedy, next to Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool. It also, for some reason, reminds me a lot of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes. But this film, just awesome...
Not the best animated movie of all time, but it is one of my favorite Disney movies of the 2010s. It's the video game equivalent of Toy Story! With tons of video game cameos, and even some of the actual video game characters' voice actors taking part in this film, Wreck-It Ralph is amazing. Kyle Hebert, the voice of Adult Gohan from Dragon Ball Z, reprises his role as Ryu from Street Fighter.
Plus, the part with Zangief has to be the best part of the film, in my opinion.
Guys, I'm a huge animated movies lover, and this movie is, without a doubt, number 1 among all that I have seen. Amazing story, music, concept - in all, a complete package. I just loved this movie. It must be number 1!
A must-watch movie for video game lovers. Dude, I'm in love with this movie! Creators, hats off! Go for it, guys, and vote for it. It deserves to be number 1. Really amazing movie...
The Newcomers
Toy Story 3 is the greatest testament to animation, story, connection, and subconscious understanding the world has ever witnessed. It pulls out all the stops and challenges your inner child with some of the most powerful scenes I have ever witnessed in my years of film viewing.
It speaks from the heart and tells you a story that will not only entertain, excite, humor, frighten, and possess you but will make you remember how much your non-talking childhood friends meant to you. Also, everything else that requires a film to be a masterpiece is right there.
An ode to creativity, Monsters, Inc. takes the concept of "the monster in the closet" and brings a whole new meaning to it. The animation looks great, and it features a story with the quality we've come to expect from Pixar. The main characters are an absolute joy to watch.
Sully is one of the most likable protagonists in an animated movie to date, and John Goodman's performance was absolutely perfect for the role. Mike might be a bit nasty at times, but he makes up for it with his persistent loyalty and hilarious dialogue, voiced by Billy Crystal. With a story that continues to warm my heart to this day, it's hands down one of the greatest the genre has to offer.
This movie truly emphasizes why The Simpsons is one of the most revolutionary cartoons of all time, and why it's been on the air for so long. The humor is original, fresh, and has you laughing to the point where you can't even breathe.
I love that this movie can so easily get away with jokes that would never fly in the regular show. It is easily one of the best movies based on TV shows.
It shows us the effects of pollution without being too preachy. With a subtle swipe at Titanic, Green Day sinking in their barge was full of satire.
Loved Jessie and Bullseye. I think Stinky Pete was a good villain. We all thought Al was going to be the bad guy. Sure, he was. But Pete was way worse.
An outstanding voice cast and gorgeous animation make this film a timeless classic, that for the first time in history, arguably outdoes its predecessor. To not even make the top 20 is an insult.
By far and away the best animated movie of all time. There is literally no flaw at all in this masterpiece.
This movie still amazes me to this day. It came out 13 years ago, but to me, it feels timeless. Along with LEGO Ninjago, it was my childhood, and it holds a special place in my heart. The plot and animation are fantastic, but the relationships displayed on-screen are even more so.
Toothless and Hiccup, who after the first movie are both crippled, cannot fly without one another. They are twin souls. Truly one of the greatest duos of all time. After that, a second great movie follows, and then an even better third (controversial opinion), wrapping up the series beautifully. So, if you haven't watched the movies, go watch them, and if you have, go watch them again, because this is what I believe to be the greatest animated franchise ever.
I agree with the guy below me - I too laugh my ass off every time I see this movie. I think this movie is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen, ever. And each time I see it, somehow it gets funnier and funnier!
Number 26? Really? This should be in the top ten. While this movie is laugh-until-you-choke funny, it has excellent and unforgettable songs like "La Resistance" and "Blame Canada."
There's a funny retaliation gag to the Kyle's Mom Song:
Kyle: Dude, it's a lady getting poo-ed on.
Stan: Woah! Is it Cartman's Mom?
Cartman: Oh very funny!
Kyle: Hey. It IS Cartman's Mom!
I just watched this movie, and it is one of the best movies I've ever seen. I thought it was going to be terrible like all other new movies, but this is great, reminded me of PPG. I also love Shrek as well.
It should be higher on the list. It's a very nice movie about technology and really deserves a nice position on this list.
A good blend of psychology (grief, forgiveness) and technology (robotics, creativity), plus love and forgiveness.
This movie was absolutely wonderful. It was very dark, like a Tim Burton movie, but also very cheerful and emotional at the same time. Jack's struggle to fill a longing for happiness and change made the movie very emotional, as well as Sally's struggle to be normal and see the outside world.
The songs in the movie were either very funny and cheerful, such as The Oogie Boogie Song and This is Halloween, or more emotional like Jack's Lament and Sally's Song. The emotion of a Tim Burton film combined with the comical Disney moments made this movie excellent. The stop motion was excellent, and I loved the animation. The music also fit the film perfectly.
Such a funny film. The other Ice Age films are equally funny but wouldn't have existed without this masterpiece.
The Ice Age trilogy is the definition of Sub-Zero. Obviously, this is the most Sub-Zero of the series so far. Ice Age rules.
Well, I don't understand why this movie is at this position. It deserves a higher place. I've been watching it since my childhood.
This is a classic everyone knows, definitely. Mainly because it spawned tons of great sequels and overall, it is a classic. The story of a panda who dreams of being a kung fu warrior and, in fact, happens to be the chosen one to become the Dragon Warrior, the most powerful kung fu warrior of all time and the only one who can defeat Tai Lung, a terror who is doing everything to become Dragon Warrior himself and uses violence and terrorizes everyone. Tons of character development and backstories, and it all works just so well. In fact, it's one of the most fun movies ever.
However, it has some big flaws. Well, for starters, it has some very unrealistic moments. Now yes, I get it's a movie and it's not supposed to be realistic, but seriously, Tai Lung manages to survive what is really the impossible. He survives being slammed on a cliff with extreme force while at the same time tangled in a vine, and so on. Either way, that's the only complaint. Otherwise, it's a great movie.
Okay, let me get this over and done with now. I don't understand why Disney, Pixar, etc., are deciding to place so many sex jokes in kids' films now, but I can assure you this one is something special. I'd like to say how funny some of the parts are, especially my favorite guy Benny. When he is flying through all the different worlds shouting spaceship, it is just 10/10, and it's hands down one of the best movies probably ever. This is just great work, but why is it 20? But still, great.
The Lego Movie was the best movie ever made. Many superheroes returned in Lego forms, and it was plain hilarious. The song was good, and anyone who played with Lego would find this movie a complete masterpiece.
Everything was actually made of Lego, apart from relics. The song "Everything is Awesome" was awesome too.
A surprise. This film, which I would not have bet anything on, manages to be a great 90's piece with futuristic animations, great characters, and a script with excellent humor. Thanks for existing.
Great animation, lovable characters, amazing plot - literally everything about this movie is what you should love!
I cringe every time anyone suggests that this amazing movie was even remotely bad in the slightest.
This movie is the definition of perfection. It has lovely graphics, good humor, and some incredibly heartwarming moments between the young adventurous boy and the gentle iron giant. It's definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen, and if you haven't seen it before, then I highly recommend you check it out, as I don't think you will regret it.
A classic movie about what paranoia, war, and fear can do to people, and our tendency to shoot at anything we don't know or understand. It's beautiful and possibly a new favorite movie of mine. With a climax that'll make you cry, but an ending that's hopeful too. Amazing.
This is one of the funniest movies I've seen. It is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, great songs, and Plankton steals the Krabby Patty recipe and takes over the world. SpongeBob and Patrick are the heroes. Perfect movie.
I can't believe people think the sequel is better than this. This would have been an awesome series finale if Nickelodeon didn't want more money.
The plot is riddled with more holes than SpongeBob himself, but it's funny, and the animation is well-crafted.
47!? Are you kidding me? Aladdin is my favorite Disney animated movie. It has action, comedy, and romance. Not to mention it also has great characters.
Good story, good songs, good characters, and funny moments. Don't need more than that.
Good movie. Robin Williams made this movie. The only flaw is flipping Abu!
