Animated movies are fool-proof for having an enjoyable and cosy watch at any time of the year. Whether you want to round up your family on the sofa for a chill night, want a light-hearted watch with your nearest and dearest girlfriends, or simply want to unwind on your own with some yummy food and drinks, you cannot go wrong with a good ol’ animated movie.
Luckily for us, there is a long-standing history of unforgettable animated movies with companies such as Walt Disney Studio Animation, Pixar, Dreamworks, and more, having worked tirelessly over the best part of a century to fill us with magic, excitement, warmth and nostalgia with their movie offerings.
With animated movies, filmmakers can take risks and go where no human character has gone before with epic out-of-this-world storylines, bright, colourful sets that take our breath away and the lure of Hollywood‘s elite voicing our favourite characters. Whether it was the world’s first feature-length animated film, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, back in 1937 or the most recent live-action remake of Pinocchio, or the newest flick on our list, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, we have greatly appreciated the ever-evolving modern technology that lets our imagination run wild.
So, with endless choices, what are the best-animated movies to watch? Well, you truly can’t go wrong with those classics such as 1951’s Alice in Wonderland and 1942’s Bambi. If you want some Disney magic in your life, then the company certainly gave us some epic moments in the nineties with Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast. You may like your animated movies with crisp, state-of-the-art animated technology, so 2020’s Onward, 2021’s Encanto and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are the ones for you.
Needless to say, there is something out there for everyone. So, if you’re looking for a list of the best animated movies out there, we’ve rounded up our 41 favourites below.
