The Mitchells vs. The Machines A road-trip comedy for the online generation. Goodbye Mr. Christie Part art piece, part gross-out comedy, part apocalyptic epic, all indescribable.

Moore and the Saloon gang have always trodden their own animated path, and Wolfwalkers is no different, mixing boxy woodcut style for the townsfolk with loose, flowing line work for the creatures of the woods. Both sweet and powerful, it's a crime that the pandemic meant it was predominantly released online.

If you want a perfect example of how ultra-expressive animation can complement and benefit a freewheeling comic masterclass of a voice performance, look no further than Aladdin — because the title character has the entire show stolen from him by Robin Williams' Genie. The big blue guy is a creation of pure, cartoonish elasticity — shape-shifting from second to second as the comedy icon's firecracker heavily-improvised performance explodes in multiple directions at once.

That the visual comedy lives up to William's wit is a marvel — no wonder Will Smith and Guy Ritchie couldn't match it in the live-action version. The Middle-Eastern stereotypes certainly don't fly today, but everything else does — the carpet included.

Disney's second animated feature is a major leap forward from Snow White — more narratively expansive, more technologically complex, and way, way darker. Adapting Carlo Collodi's novel, it follows the titular wooden puppet on an existential quest to earn his humanity — one that finds him exploited by a shady showbusinessman, swallowed by a rampaging whale called Monstro, preyed on by an upsetting cat-man, and, in a truly disturbing sequence, taken by a demonic coachman to the sinful 'Pleasure Island' where rebellious boys are mutated into donkeys and shipped off for nefarious purposes.

It is, in short, not really one for kids — but adults will find much technical mastery in its vivid tracking shots and creepy character animation.

Rarely a team to rest on its laurels and it has some well-earned laurels , Pixar, spearheaded by Lee Unkrich, decided to really challenge itself and develop a film showcasing the cultural touchpoint that is the Day of the Dead. Or at least, that's the background — the real story here is of young Miguel Anthony Gonzalez , who dreams of being a famous musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz Benjamin Bratt.

That's no straightforward ambition, especially when his family has banned music after his great-great-grandmother's husband left her to pursue a career as a performer. Literal buried secrets come into play as Miguel crosses to the land of the dead on a mission to learn the truth. Coco is a vibrant film that honors Mexican cultural traditions, and — because the Emeryville studio is so good at it — plucks at the heartstrings as effectively as some of the guitar players here.

The movie itself and original song 'Remember Me' both won Oscars, each well-deserved. It's not exactly faithful to Rudyard Kipling's source novel, but The Jungle Book shows what Disney adaptations do best — stripping out the boring bits, upping the fun, and heaping on a handful of earworm tunes to seal the deal.

The final animated film overseen by Walt Disney, who died around nine months before its release, ambles along in the same manner that its central character does — though the plot essentially finds man-cub Mowgli Bruce Reitherman running for his life from vengeful tiger Shere Khan George Sanders , really it's a pleasant stroll through the lush Indian jungle as he encounters fun-loving sloth bear Baloo Phil Harris , protective panther Bagheera Sabastian Cabot , and the hypnotic hissing Kaa Sterling Holloway.

For all the pyrotechnics of its fiery final reel, really it's the double-whammy of Disney bangers at its core that endures: the jazzy blast of 'I Wanna Be Like You' courtesy of King Louie Louis Prima , and slacker anthem 'Bare Necessities'.

A soaring, Broadway-calibre musical meets sophisticated, pioneering animation in Disney's landmark fairytale. Beauty And The Beast is truly a marvel in terms of animated architecture — from the beast's cavernous, gothic castle, to the overstuffed shelves of Belle's Paige O'Hara beloved bookstore. Yet Disney didn't sacrifice its childlike sense of wonder in the name of showing off its new approach to animation. The film's choreography remains some of the studio's finest, be it Belle's opening number with her nose in a book, skimming blissfully through the inner workings of her small town, or the central ballroom setpiece that coaxes out the tentative romance between beauty and beast.

Yet its twinkle lies in the character design of the castle's cursed inhabitants — each a little sad and wonky, but not without lashings of charm — as well as in the much-loved lyrics of Howard Ashman that inform some of the film's most delightful moments.

Don't believe me? Ask the dishes! From its medieval setting, to its iconic villain, to the sheer width of its frame, everything about Disney's third princess movie feels epic — a rich fantasy saga that has more than just romance on its mind.

Painstakingly produced over the course of eight years and backed by a Tchaikovsy-inspired score, Sleeping Beauty is gorgeous in every respect — full of stylistic touches inspired by renaissance art, with stunningly detailed backdrops and dynamic character designs delivered on an expansive Cinemascope canvas.

If the story itself is pretty slight evil fairy curses baby, baby grows up and eventually falls into an enchanted sleep, the kiss of a prince breaks the spell , it's all livened up by the magnificent Maleficent Eleanor Audley , a cracking, cackling villain with a flair for the dramatic, even transforming into a green-fire-breathing dragon for a climax that today echoes Game Of Thrones.

Ironically, it was slept on at first — flopping on release, and only seen for what it was in the decades that followed: an absolute beauty. If you were to tot up a list of Pixar's most loveable characters, and another list of the most brilliantly imaginative worlds they've created, Monsters, Inc.

After two Toy Story films and A Bug's Life , the studio proved it really had the goods to become one of the greats with a sweet, silly and sentimental buddy comedy about monsters who are secretly terrified of the kids they spook every night. Hanging out with James P. Sullivan John Goodman and Mike Wazowski Billy Crystal — a furry blue top-scarer and his sardonic green ball of a co-worker — is a total joy, as is spending time in the streets of Monstropolis, packed with eye-catching beasts, sight gags galore, and Harryhausen in-jokes.

If the fish-out-of-water set-up Mike and Sully accidentally unleash human girl Boo in the monster city is mined for major laughs, it provides huge emotional punch as they come to realise she's not a danger at all — just try not to weep at that final 'Kitty! An animated beacon of hope for Jack Skellingtons everywhere, Tim Burton's gothic musical remains a beloved, wretched festive treasure. Everything about this gorgeous gothic stop-motion fantasy endures because of its off-kilter charms, beginning with the angular and disproportionate character design, which Burton dreamed up with visionary effects artist Rich Heinrichs.

Composer Danny Elfman, a self-professed Skellington type who even supplied the character's singing voice, imbued the film with its haunting cadences and morbid soundscape, which at times manifests into intoxicating musical numbers. The film took a meandering journey to the screen, in part due to Disney's failure to accept Burton's vision — but when it arrived, it was unlike anything that had ever come before it, and continues to touch the hearts of outsiders everywhere.

The original Toy Story was a groundbreaker. Toy Story 2 rescued a sequel from the jaws of straight-to-video oblivion. No pressure, then, for the third outing, which had to follow those two hits.

Under the careful, thoughtful direction of Lee Unkrich who had been with Pixar since the first film , Toy Story 3 deepens the narrative of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang by having them confront the prospect of moving to a new home when their owner Andy outgrows them. The Toy Story films had always been about heart, loss, family and terrifying, cymbal-crashing monkeys okay, maybe that one just applies to the threequel , but the third finds Team Pixar on fantastic form.

One scene in particular one word: incinerator sent fans — including Quentin Tarantino, who named it his favourite film of — into paroxysms of worry and sniffles with its palpable sense of finality. Few international animations have garnered the same global success as Persepolis. That the film takes place amidst the Islamic revolution — captured through a broad, unfussy style of animation in a mostly monochrome palette — is only further testament to the power of its storytelling.

The film is co-adapted by Marjane Satrapi from her autobiographical graphic novel series of the same name. Through documenting her young life in Tehran and later Austria, Satrapi relays the torment inflicted on her leftist family and friends by the Shah through the eyes of her punkish, Bruce Lee-loving tearaway.

The way in which Satrapi weaves her humanist beliefs into this simple yet elegant narrative is effortlessly moving, and made her the first woman director to be nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards.

The magic of Ratatouille isn't just that Pixar made a film about a rat chef that somehow doesn't make the audience want to run for the nearest sick bucket — it's the sensory elegance of it that's most dazzling. Director Brad Bird's most impressive feat is turning smells into sights — ingredients become wafts of abstract colour that complement each other as sub-par dishes become works of culinary art, a symphony of swirling scents completed by Michael Giacchino's gorgeous score.

Patton Oswalt lends his voice to Remy — a rat with a gift for cookery who teams up with hopeless human Linguini Lou Romano in an effort to get his dishes out into the world. But given Remy's rodent status, the discovery of the real little chef would spell disaster for his future. Even by Pixar standards, this sometimes overlooked effort overflows with charm and beauty — just see the scene in which snooty critic Anton Ego Peter O'Toole takes a bite of the film's titular dish and is transported back to the warmth and love of his own mother's cooking.

Not bad for a film with a pretty basic pun title. A few years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe's creators found their winning blend of superheroic action and quippy humour, Brad Bird beat them to it. The Incredibles , his first Pixar film, rocketed him straight to the company's 'Brain Trust' of directors who help to shepherd other filmmakers' work and revealed itself to be a spry, warm take on the sort of family dynamics at play in teams such as The Fantastic Four.

Focusing on "supers" Bob Craig T. Nelson and Helen Holly Hunter Parr, who have given up the hero game to raise their family, it sees Bob itching to get back in action despite government pressure to stay out of the way.

A mysterious opportunity offers more than he bargained for, and the Parr clan will have to combine their abilities to combat a new threat. Whether you're looking for artful stop-motion or visually striking computerized animation, whether you have kids or are flying solo, here are the best animated films of all time.

No list of animated films would be complete without Toy Story , the debut Pixar film that changed the course of Hollywood. The movie ushered in a new era of entirely digitally animated films, and pushed the genre into the future of narrative storytelling. Never had a computer created something with this much heart. The Lion King might be the most beloved animated film of the millennial generation.

From the epic soundtrack to its genuinely scary villain, Scar, the movie leaves no emotion untapped. Give your dad a hug after you see this.

This Tale as Old as Time is a heartwarming classic love story, and the first ever animated film to receive a Best Picture nomination. It's a real tearjerker. Fox a suspenseful and heartfelt adventure. Amazon Apple. With an uplifting and fun soundtrack, the Greek god-inspired Disney musical is an all-time great. Let the Muses sing some joy into your day! How to Train Your Dragon is a DreamWorks tale about a young Viking teen who, on his quest to become a dragon slayer and gain the acceptance of his tribe, ends up befriending the first dragon he captures instead.
