“Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can’t create it if you don’t have one.”
Animated movie had come a long way from moving bits of paper around to painting billions of pixels.
It not only developed our imagination but had changed it to reality. The growth of mainstream animation had changed the meaning of entertainment. From children’s to adult, everyone can enjoy these movies.
So, here are 16 all time favorite animated movies. You never get bored of watching them!

10. UP (2009)
This movie is nothing less than a joyous affirmation of life at any age and at any height above sea level. It is the greatest grief movie hidden within colorful balloons, lisping boy scout and talking dog.
11. Despicable Me I & II (2010 & 2013)
Tiny yellow minions which were created to steal the moon, can do anything but harm. This movie is not adorable only because of minions but it taught us someone considered “evil” can have a change of heart. Part 2 is more despicable.
12. How to Train Your Dragon I & II (2010, 2014)
The use of 3D in this movie is incredible and worth the money and time. It is a simple story about a boy and his dog (only the dog is played by a massive black dragon named Toothless). This series teaches us about friendship and loyalty.

Is there anybody who doesn’t know Winnie The Pooh, the lovable bear? If yes, then I am totally judging you. Please just watch this movie. You don’t need any reason, not even single one.
15. Frozen
It is as real as a fairy tale can be. There are tear and funny jerking moments. Visuals are perfect. Anna is very relatable comparing to other princess stories. And, Olaf is hilarious!
16. Minions (2015)
What could be more adorable than little yellow things trying to speak English and traveling the world? They are too cute to ignore. POOPAYE!
