We had great movies like zootopia, finding dory, moana, kubo & the two strings, trolls & kung fu panda 3. However we had terrible movies like norm of the north, the secret life of pets, the wild life, sing, sausage party, ice age 5 & many more

Illumination animation pumped out garbage this year (sorry I did not like secret life of pets or sing, let me know if you wanna know why)

The year had Zootopia, Moana, and Kubo, but that was basically it. This was not a good year. Norm of the North, The Angry Birds Movie, Ice Age: Collision Course, Sausage Party, Sing, The Secret Life of Pets, and other "Bleh" movies came this year.

The Lion Guard sucked, though.

The Simpsons Movie, my favorite movie of that year.

The Simpsons finally made it to the big screen in 2007

Ratatouille, The Simpsons Movie, Surf's Up, and Meet the Robinsons are all certified bangers.

Shoot! I accidentally voted for this one! Anyways, there's really only a few movies that stood out to me this year. So far, the only ones I believe are good on the Western side are Coco, The Lego Batman Movie, and... that's it. Japan does have Mary and the Witch's Flower, A Silent Voice, In This Corner of the World, Napping Princess, and Sword Art Online: The Movie - Ordinal Scale. I'm rather more proud of what Japanese animation has to offer for this year's Oscars, but man, WESTERN FILM ANIMATION HAS BEEN AWFUL THIS YEAR! To think The Emoji Movie, The Star, and The Boss Baby were nominated for the Oscars...

Are you joking? This is one of the worst years for animated movies in recent memory! The only outstanding animated film to come out this year was The Lego Batman Movie. Everything else this year ranges from mediocre to absolutely HORRIBLE. (The Emoji Movie...)

The only good animated movies so far, are the lego batman movie & cars 3. the lego ninjago movie, coco & Ferdinand look great though

Even this year has a gem in it (The Lego Batman Movie). Everything else was at best ok, but damn that emoji movie...

10 1997

The End of Evangelion, Princess Mononoke, Hercules, Anastasia

My favorite, Disney's Hercules, came out this year!

The Contenders
11 2009 2009 was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2009th year of the Common Era and Anno Domini designations. It was the 10th and final year of the 2000s decade.

Can't believe I had to add this.
Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Up, The Secret of Kells, Mary & Max, A Town Called Panic and Summer Wars all came out this year.

Also Happily N'ever After 2, ie. the best animated movie ever made. (jk)

You forgot Monsters vs. Aliens. 2009 was like the best year for animated movies.

12 1995

Toy Story, Pocahontas, Balto, Ghost in the Shell, A Goofy Movie,

Wreck-It Ralph, ParaNorman, Rise of the Guardians, and The Pirates! Band of Misfits are all animation classics for the ages.

15 1977 1977 was a year of cultural significance with the release of the groundbreaking film "Star Wars," which sparked a global phenomenon and reshaped the science fiction genre. New York City's iconic Studio 54 nightclub became synonymous with disco culture and celebrity glamour.

We got inside out here but we also got the dreaded minions movie

19 1994

I'm sorry, but if it weren't for The Lion King, this year would've been a steaming hot dumpster fire for animated films thanks to those two Don Bluth disasters that came out that year.

Well. Then I promise to stop it until you stop claiming it to be the best animated movie ever. It does not deserve to be the best in anything.

I promise to stop it if you would stop saying it that it's one of the best or better than anything else.

Lion King sucked. All other films that year were good.

20 2011 2011 (MMXI) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, the 2011th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations.

A really good follow-up to the fantastic year that was 2010. In this year, we had Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, Puss in Boots, The Adventures of Tin Tin, Winnie the Pooh, Arthur Christmas, and Cars 2 (I didn't say it was perfect). It was a great year for animation. It's just such a shame things started going down hill after that.

21 1982 In 1982, the Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina highlighted geopolitical tensions. The debut of the Commodore 64 computer marked a significant milestone in home computing. The Michael Jackson album "Thriller" achieved unprecedented success, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time.
22 1991

The year that gave us Beauty and the Beast, the first ever animated film to get nominated for Best Picture.

23 2000 The year 2000 (MM) was a century leap year that started on a Saturday according to the Gregorian calendar. It marked the 2000th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations. It was the last year of the 2nd millennium and the 20th century, and the 1st year of the 2000s decade.

The Emperor's New Groove, The Road to El Dorado, Chicken Run, Titan AE, and Rugrats in Paris all came out that year.

24 1998

The Prince of Egypt was the greatest thing to have come out in the year 1998.

We got mulan & a bug's life
