Most Exciting Animated Movies of All Time

Animation is a flexible storytelling technique, despite the common misconception that it is only appropriate for younger viewers. Animation lets filmmakers experiment with stories and images that might not be possible in live-action, so it's not necessarily a childish medium. The medium contains many films that offer engaging, sophisticated experiences, even though popular franchises like ‘Despicable Me’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda’ target younger audiences.

The promise of animation is found in its capacity to create original and imaginative worlds, which makes it an important medium for artistic expression. It covers a broad range of themes and styles, frequently straying into the realm of arthouse. Animation continues to fight for respect and attention in the larger cinema industry despite its versatility.
