Top Ten Movies

We all love animated movies. Some think they’re just for kids, but really – people of all ages can watch them, because underneath all that childish banter, there are important messages for everyone. And hey, everyone likes animation, right? We tell you the top ten animated movies.

1. Toy Story – This was the first movie to have full computer generated animation. Even though techniques have come of age now, this movie is surprisingly complex in its effects. With lots of humor and a great storyline, you should watch this one, definitely.
2. Ratatouille – From Brad Bird comes a delightfully fresh animated movie, with the theme of cooking, and following your dreams. The voicing is great, Pixar’s animation is wonderful, and of course – all the cooking is bound to get you hungry! Peter O’ Toole is magnificent as the food critic who changes his opinions.
3. The Prince Of Egypt – With a Biblical theme, this is one movie all kids should watch. Learn about the life of Moses, and his relationship with Pharaoh. The dream sequence is really mention-worthy.
4. Ice Age – Great storyline, extremely funny moments, and Ray Romano is simply amazing! Check out the sloth for some funny moments.
5. Shrek – The whole series, in fact. Not just children’s movies, but adults should watch them too. Not only is the animation great, but the plotline is gripping, and inverts the usual “happily ever after” fairytale. Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz are simply stunning in their voicing, and the supporting cast do a great job as well. Plus, the songs are great!
6. Finding Nemo – One of the great movies by Pixar. Watch Marlin try to frantically hunt his son Nemo down. And you’re bound to fall in love with Dory, a very forgetful but extremely cute fish.
7. Bambi – Sweet, wonderful, endearing – these qualities best describe the movie. A favorite with kids everywhere.
8. Antz – As much an adults’ movie as a kids’ movie. You need to understand Communism and Marxism for this one. It’s satire of an animated sort. Woody Allen’s voicing totally hits the mark.
9. The Lion King – A pretty old movie, but the animation is great, the songs are bound to get your feet tapping, and your kids will love it!
10. A Bug’s Life – Another well-known classic. Watch it for the sheer feel-good factor. Not a movie to miss.
