The Top Ten

1
The Lion King
A unique flick. Will always be loved and praised forever.
Disneys finest masterpiece Good characters, good music, good story and a good morality tale, the lion king is still good!
A landmark in animation, a game changer, beautiful story, amazing music, legendary voice actors, amazing characters first original story used in a disney animated film, the most idolised movie of Disney's golden generation, simply... The best!

2Toy Story
Probably my favorite movie when I was growing up

Toy Story is in 2nd?!? What. The. Kumquats?!?! Now, if you'll excuse me, I am off to lodge a complaint with Star Command, and I also am off to buy some Titanium-Carbonic alloy so I can learn to "fall with style"
Yay! Toy Story is number one!

3Chicken Run
Chicken Run is a modern day british classic. This should be number 1 instead of that cheap imitation of Watership Down with lions
The references to The Great Escape just keep on coming in this funny, british, animated P. O. W satire
The best characters in Chicken Run are ironically not chickens! Nick and Fletcher, 2 wheelin' dealin' rats are the real scene stealers.

4Shrek
I watched this recently and I had forgotten how much I love it!

JasperB

Donkey shut up! Love it. Along with busty and the beast. The little mermaid, Cinderella, and ALMOST all disney movies.
yay shrek, but I will say I'm a big fan for toy story too

5Wall-E
<3 awesome lovin it
Best animated movie ever
Ever... EVVA

6Toy Story 3
Why Toy Story 3? Because it gave a new meaning to my life. And Buzz & Jessie's paso doble is one of the most amazing things I've seen in my life.
Toy Story 3 is by far the best animated movie ever made. We understand that lion king is a classic but older movies are meant to be bettered. And this is the best that Hollywood has produced

7The Simpsons Movie
This is ONE of the movies that never gets olD... Complete humour from the beginning till end + an amazing story... After seeing the climax when homer saves springfield in a bike some people with sick mind might end it in one word 'STUPID', but others like me will end it in two words 'CLASSIC HOMER'
The big screen adaptation of probably the greatest animated sitcom there has ever been. Thank you Matt Groening!
Springfield's finest in their first big screen outing. Spiderpig / Harry Plopper is such a scene stealer.

8Up
A squirrel walked up to a tree and said "i forgot to store acorns for winter and now I am dead". It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.

9Megamind
Magamind is one of the funniest animated movies that Dreamworks Animations have ever made. Whoever said that Madagascar and Megamind isn't "magical" enough to be top is clueless. It doesn't have to be magical to be brilliant.
With the voice of Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, how can this not be funny? Yes it might be predated by Despicable Me, but Megamind is an enjoyable romp in it's own right.
Very oringinal, unpredictable, great twists, action packed and very funny. Great!

10Monsters vs. Aliens
CGI animation is a tough thing to do and for that I praise the Dreamworks CGI animation canon. Hand drawn animation isn't that spectacular. Anyone can do hand drawn animation. All you need is a pencil, paper and crayons. Many British cartoons from the 1970s such as Bod and Roobarb are hand drawn animations.
Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Paul Rudd, Will Arnett, Reese Witherspoon and Ed Helms is only part of the ensemble of this B-Movie satire.
As far as animated satire goes Monsters vs Aliens is pretty high on that pecking order.
More comments about Monsters vs. Aliens

The Contenders

11Pinocchio

12Akira

13Ice Age

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.

The original Ice Age film. Without this, we wouldn't have had all those sequels that came after Ice Age

14How to Train Your Dragon

So one of the best movies ever made... IS NUMBER 50?! How is this not in the top ten? This is by far the best animated movie ever made, and Toothless is my favorite fictional character ever.

My #2 animated movie it is perfect, Great visuals, great comdy, thrilling action, heart warming and great plot and story line

Not only this movie is very funny with thrilling action scenes but it also has heartt wraming scenes and toothless is so cute.


15Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Probably the most popular of Aardman's creations in their firse feature length outing.

jezza0

The references to An American Werewolf in London just keep on coming in Wallace and Gromit's first feature length outing.


16Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

To imagine this movie was made with thousands of drawing papers, and the iconic story, the impression it gave; just AWESOME!

It is a great, heartwarming tale that shows the true meaning of friendship, and it shows great quality of generosity! Disney expanded this film into one of the greatest motion pictures of all time! It is truly an amazing classic!


17Kung Fu Panda 2

18Spirited Away
The absolute most charming, heart warming movie ever made. I go as far as declaring it as one of the greatest movies ever made.
One of my favourite movies- well drawn, beautiful storyline. I cried watching it, too.

sameera62


19The Nightmare Before Christmas
zero and jack are as awesome as... Steve and the wolf in minecraft

20Rio

Rio is one of the most enjoyable animated flicks of the last year. Just as funny as Ice Age.

I love this movie! The animation, the colours, the music, the characters, the comedy, the plot and storyline... This movie is perfect! I also love the relationship between Blu and Jewel, they are a cute couple and the kiss near the end melts my heart every time I see this movie. I just love this movie.

I really really love this movie, great animation, amazing music, lovely characters, the best job for Carlos Saldahna, please... Rio 2

21Madagascar

The original Madagascar, without this we wouldn't have had the equally funny Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and the upcoming Madagascar 3: Europes's Most Wanted!

Very funny. Madagascar Escape to Africa is equally funny! I can't wait until Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted comes out!


22Grave of the Fireflies

This is by far the most intense animated film that's more near to realism and gives a heart-breaking yet thought-provoking insight of the actual world that the children and adults alike should know about...


23Fantastic Planet

24Tarzan

25Wreck-It Ralph

This is a must see! If I had to choose from ROTG or this... I would choos this. I love this movie. It is definitely the best movie to go against toy story please let it be one of the top ten list
I am beggin you. I would love to play Fix-it-felix game. I want to be wreck it ralph

The best animated movie of 2012. It is fun, sad, cool, and epic. You can see most of video game characters in there. My favorite line is:
Vanellope: "what if they won't like me? "
Ralph: who doesn't like a little brat with dirty hair? "
It is a must see


26Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

27The Adventures of Tintin
With a script by Dr Who's Stephen Moffat and a cast including Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, it's very British.
One of the most epic motion capture animations around at the moment.
I made a slight error earlier. This is the version that stars Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Daniel Craig. It's everything you want in a Spielberg film.

28Finding Nemo
I heard that when Ellen went to Sydney
She tried to find wallaby way which was the street from memo and she got annoyed that she found out that it didn't exist

29Mulan

30Ice Age - The Meltdown

31Bambi

32Fantastic Mr Fox

This has an all star cast headed by Meryl Streep and George Clooney.

jezza0


33Disney's A Christmas Carol

This has such a score! The way it incorporates famous Christmas carols such as Joy to the World and Hark the Herald Angels Sing is breath-taking

jezza0

With Jim Carrey Multi-tasking as Scrooge and the 3 spirits who haunt him, he's shows just how versatile he is.

jezza0


34The Incredibles

35Fantasia

Honestly how can you say that Madagascar is more beautiful and magical than fantasia. My favourite animated film sleeping beauty isn't even on this excuse of a list


36Rango
Only some1 who never watched RANGO will say it's not the best ever... How good a movie can be... Simply the best...

kawshiksharma

This is the movie featuring a lizard in the Wild West. Very unpredictable and original for an animated feature.

jezza0

41South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

South Park the movie is so funny! How the Hell did they get away with half the stuff they did? I laugh my ass off every time I see it.


42Despicable Me

One of the funniest animated movies of all time! That painted pyramid in the background of Vector's house is just genius! This should be much higher!

It's voice cast includes Steve Carrell, Russell Brand and Kristen Wiig.

Despicable Me is a very enjoyable film. Don't be put off by it's innitial simmilarities with Megamind.

46Puss in Boots
One of the most popular characters from the Shrek franchise in his very own spin off.

jezza0

I can't believe it is 47. It should at least be in the top ten!

47The Hunchback of Notre Dame
I'd have to agree; this is personally my favourite animated musical by Disney yet. Of course the subject matter might not garner a G rating in movie theatres nowadays.

sockythesock

Shame it's so underrated, probably because it's so dark.

Tom Hulce + Tony Jay = Win

48Futurama - Bender's Big Score
Technically the first part to season 5. this feature length outing is just as funny as the other seasons.

jezza0

As Bender puts it Futurama's back baby

49Happy Feet

As far as cute characters are concerned Happy Feet is loaded with them particularly Mumble the dancing penguin. Happy Feet is the ultimate feel good animated film.

All spongebob stuff rocks

59Madagascar 3
