Best Non-Disney Animated Films

The Top Ten
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

The best non-Disney animated film ever. It does all the Disney tropes: the tough princess, musical numbers, and fairytale magic, yet still manages to match up to Disney's classics.

Such a great movie, loved it as a kid and still love it today. And the song of the villain (In the Dark of the Night) is better than anything coming from Disney.

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 men and Anastasia doesn't have the whole princess personality but still act with class. Such an amazing film my 2nd favourite film ever

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 and even if you don't watch this beautiful Classic at least listen to the songs, especially at the beginning!

4 The Lego Movie

Loved this films sung song 4 ages but didn't watch second one because to old now

This is probably my favorite animated film ever, hard choice

5 How to Train Your Dragon
6 Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

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

Back when Dreamworks actually made great 2D films

7 The Land Before Time

Inspired a fascination with dinosaurs as a kid

8 Ice Age
9 Shrek 2

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

Shreck 2 is kinda boring

10 Despicable Me 2

What a great film.

The Contenders
11 The Simpsons Movie

Springfield's funniest in their first big screen outing.

12 The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

Best movie ever! I want to find a list that this movie was put number1 on. Can you PLEASE tell me where to find it

Absolutely hilarious and endlessly quotable.

13 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

14 Kung Fu Panda
15 Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku
16 How to Train Your Dragon 2
17 Antz
18 The Iron Giant

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

19 Balto

This is as good as any Disney movie.

Based on an inspiring true story

Bad fanbase, though.

20 An American Tail

The ending of this movie made me happy cry

"Never say never! " Take that, Justin Bieber

21 South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

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

22 Cats Don't Dance

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

I loved cats don't dance! especially danny and sawyer but mostly danny! he has a dream I have a dream this movie is made for meh!

23 Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
24 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.

25 The Secret of NIMH

Don Bluth's underrated masterpiece
