Any top animated list without _Pinocchio_ and _Dumbo_ is unthinkable, to my mind. Musts. ---

Split in to traditional and CG: 1. Aladdin 2. The Lion King 3. Beauty and the Beast 4. Mulan 5. The Emperor’s New Groove 6. Toy Story 7. Wall-E 8. Up 9. Finding Nemo 10. Shrek 5 traditional animations and 5 CG animations seems like too much CG, but I’m not sure what traditional animation I would add in favor of cutting Shrek. Probably Pinocchio. ---

> [@Pitchmeister](#): > > Why is the word “Kids” in the title? Just because a movie is animated doesn’t mean it’s only for kids. Because some animated movies aren’t for kids at all. Yes, adults enjoy good kids’ movies, but _ **Team America, World Police; South Park, Bigger, Longer and Uncut;** _ and _ **Fantastic Planet** _ aren’t for kids at all, and it’s not what the OP was after. ---

I’m glad **The Iron Giant** has gotten a reasonable amount of love in this thread. It’s definitely my #1. It’s really hard to really compare movies across genres and decades and so forth, aside from that. My favorite recent CGI films are all pixar, with I think my top two being **Up** and **The Incredibles**. My favorite non-pixar CGI is **Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs**. My favorite classic Disneys are the trio of **The Little Mermaid** , **Beauty and the Beast** , **Aladdin** (but NOT the imho vastly overrated Lion King). And I adored **Spirited Away** , and prefer it to the 3 or 4 other Miyazakis I’ve seen. Oh, and **Fantasia 2000** is fantastic, and better than the very good original. ---

> [@Pitchmeister](#): > > Why is the word “Kids” in the title? Just because a movie is animated doesn’t mean it’s only for kids. That’s one of the great things about Pixar - adults find just as many (if not more) enjoyable moments in their movies as kids do, and on some level kids won’t be able to understand them because they deal with very adult issues (Toy Story 3, for example). > > Anyway, it’s hard to come up with a list, because there are more than 10 Pixar movies, but leave off Cars, Cars 2 and A Bug’s Life, maybe you’ve made space for Shrek or The Lion King. > > Fantasia 2000 was not a “redo”, it is a new movie with the same concept - all of the scenes (except the Sorcerer’s Apprentice) are original and most of them are just as good as any from the 1940 version. I obviously know that animated features appeal to adults also otherwise I would not be in this thread. But I just did not want people coming here and listing films like Fritz the Cat, Persepolis or South Park [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-top-10-kids-animated-films/596663.md?page=1)
