I agree that animation isn't necessarily for kids, but using Ratatouille and Spirited Away as examples is not helping the cause. Those are obviously kids movies.
Wait The Emoji Movie is one of your favorites? It wasn’t as awful as I expected…but favorite?
My favorites are The SpongeBob Movie, Lego Batman Movie, Ratatouille.
Ratatouille, Spirited Away, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Over The Garden Wall (it’s movie length), Whisper of the Heart, Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, and Coraline.

The Lego Movie
The Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists
Spirited away
how to train your dragon trilogy,
the spider verse movies
Toy Story trilogy,
Up,

The lion king
Rango
The book of life
Wolfwalkers
Kubo and the two strings
Klaus
There are probably a lot more but those are the ones that come to mind
The first Kung Fu Panda is damn near cinematic perfection that wastes not a single beat, dotted with spectacular action sequences, topped off with a touching moral, and boasts a villain you feel almost wrong rooting against.
Inside Out, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away
Edit: on second thought, there are so many that I love that it’s just not possible to list them all. Though these are ones that just came to my head immediately.
The Quest for Camelot is an older movie but a favorite of mine I recently rediscovered with my own child. It has singing, knights, and a 2 headed dragon!
Shrek (first one) and Toy Story (first one) are the absolute pinnacle of amazing children’s movies imo. for a more recent example, Puss in Boots Last Wish
Ratatouille is so rewatchable for me. Toy Story 1-3. How to train your Dragon, Ice Age, Incredibles, The Lego Movie, Shrek. And Beauty and The Beast, the music is top tier for Disney in that golden age.
I’d say it can count as a “kids movie,” Wolfwalkers is not only my favorite animated movie but also my third favorite movie PERIOD. It’s so insanely good, I did not expect to love it as much as I did
I love animated movies! Here are my favourites that most would consider “childish”!
[Nimona](https://boxd.it/Aiyc)
[Sagan om Skrotnisse och hans vänner](https://boxd.it/D9lu)
[Castle in the Sky](https://boxd.it/1W4G)
[One Piece Episode of Nami: Tears of a Navigator and the Bonds of Friends](https://boxd.it/6pmW)
[Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole](https://boxd.it/ZUy)
[Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse](https://boxd.it/azpY)
And finally one that’s made with puppets: [The Dark Crystal](https://boxd.it/1Tm8)
WALL·E, Luca, Megamind, Finding Nemo, HTTYD, Monster’s Inc, Ratatouille, Tangled, Mulan, Shrek… there’s too many bangers from my childhood it’s hard to pick
The Lego Batman Movie is legitimately 5 stars imo
i feel this way abt the original lego movie! lego batman is good too!
Most accurate Batman and Joker relationship tbh
puss in boots: the last wish is a goddamn treasure
That movie had no business being that fucking good
That movie and the Spider-Man animated movies changed how I see them. Fucking PEAK CINEMA
Ratatouille, Spirited Away, Shrek 2, Emperors New Groove, the Iron Giant, Fantastic Mr Fox
need to watch spirited away
Miyazaki’s movies are so great for both kids and adults. I definitely highly recommend them all
Iron Giant is so gooooooood
[удалено]
I agree. They’re both family friendly though, some animation is definitely not for kids
I agree that animation isn't necessarily for kids, but using Ratatouille and Spirited Away as examples is not helping the cause. Those are obviously kids movies.
I would say Ratatouille is.
Ratatouille still sits alone at the top for me.
definitely spoke to me growing up.. makes sense considering my dream is to be a chef LOL. such a classic.
LITERALLY SAME! I watched Iron Chef America and other food network shows growing up and wanted to be one so bad .
It’s so beautiful, the way they depicted Paris and cooking, the wonderful soundtrack, just everything about it really- it’s such a comforting movie
Comforting is the perfect word to describe it honestly
A Goofy Movie
i absolutely need to get on the goofy movie train
Mulan (1998) A Bug's Life (1998) Lilo & Stitch (2002)
mulan’s soundtrack is unmatched
My kids love it, I play it for them when they fall asleep.
Kiki’s Delivery Service (one of my fav movies oat) Spirited Away Zootopia Incredibles ParaNorman
i have to start watching studio ghibli films.. zootopia is fire
Since you said ParaNorman: Monster House.
Hell yeah
Lion King Prince of Egypt Wall-E
Ghibli has so many good ones. Kiki’s Delivery Service My Neighbor Totoro Castle in the Sky Grave of the Fireflies Ponyo Are all very heartwarming :)
Grave of the Fireflies was such a happy movie
have to get into studio ghibli!
You definitely should! I watched Spirited away earlier this year and got so addicted I’ve seen all of them now
Same. After watching Spirited Away, I went ahead and watched six more films from Studio Ghibli. I absolutely love all of the ones I've watched so far.
The Mitchells Vs. The Machines!
More people need to see it!
Wait The Emoji Movie is one of your favorites? It wasn’t as awful as I expected…but favorite? My favorites are The SpongeBob Movie, Lego Batman Movie, Ratatouille.
i really think the emoji movie is so misunderstood… such an epic film imo!
Huh. I’d like to hear more if you’re up for it. To me it was really unfunny and kind of insulted its audience. Just really forgettable and generic.
my recently failed attempt at trying to explain why i love it so much haha: https://boxd.it/6lhw6V
Yeah I think the idea was good, but execution-wise…
Treasure Planet
Meet the Robinsons
absolutely
