15
items Animated movies sometimes don't get the credit they deserve for being made for all audiences, and here are 15 of them that are more meaningful than live action movies ever could be.
Coraline walked so that Jordan Peele and Childish Gambino could run. The lore and hidden easter eggs throughout the film are endless, and it is a special watch for all ages still to this day.
Coraline
I'm a 24 year old man, but HTTYD still made me cry at the end of it. That's all I have to say.
How to Train Your Dragon
Spirited Away delivers one of the most timeless messages of greed and compassion that I have ever heard. Studio Ghibli is a special production company, and deserves to be shouted from the rooftops how great it is.
Spirited Away
You need a great holiday movie, and honestly I feel like the Grinch with their new soundtrack is the perfect bid for a top spot.
The Grinch (New Version)
This might be the best movie of all time full stop, and I need not dive into it any further with that in mind.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Howl's is up there for my favorite animated movie ever, and is something myself and so many others can rewatch hundreds of times.
Howl's Moving Castle
Brave is an emotional journey that showcases how family relations change, and also left me in tears as the movie came to a close.
Brave
Ready Player One lives a bit in both worlds, but the animated parts of some of the most high quality animations that we have ever seen. Treads the line but is a must watch.
Ready Player One
The Wild Robot is a perfect addition due to how new it is, and it should be watched by anyone of all ages – also is starring Lupita Nyong'o who is one of the most acclaimed actresses of recent years.
The Wild Robot
Nightmare Before Christmas is in the same vein as The Grinch, and is the leading movie in the Halloween to Christmas time niche.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Soul has a heartbreaking story line of wanting to live someone else's life, and its combination with music holds a special place in my heart.
Soul
Robots has such a cool cast now that time has moved on from it, and it feels like a flagship movie from an earlier time period.
Robots
Fantastic Mr. Fox is stop motion, but due to the small list of stop motion movies, I'll include it here. The cast is amazing, Wes Anderson hits this out of the park as Director, and it stands towards the top of my favorite movies list.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Inside Out was clearly made for both parents and children, and caters to both audiences seamlessly – leaving everyone feeling connected as the credits roll through.
Inside Out
Okay my bias may be shining through, but from the execution of this both musically and voice acting wise, this is another one of the animated greats, and I can't wait for part 2.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
