When I was so little I always loved "The Prince Of Egypt" as one of the greatest animated movie done by DreamWorks, and one of my all time childhood favorite.

[sonicguyver]

I think the Iron Giant deserves a spot on this list. I still tear up at the end.

‘Batman: Mask of the Phantasm’ is still one of the best Batman movies of all time.
Kevin Conroy, we still miss you a lot….

You’re NEVER too old for animated shows and movies!

Disney movies will touch your heart, but Studio Ghibli movies will touch your soul.

Hayao Miyazaki has made a lot of great movies, but Spirited Away has got to be his magnum opus. The story, score, and the animation is spectacular. No other anime movie I have ever seen even holds a candle to how awesome it is.

*Glad y’all added some of the best animated movies imo. Toy Story, shrek, lion king, etc*

So glad to see Mask of the Phantasm getting the respect it deserves, it's a masterpiece of animation, voice acting and storytelling. And Shirley Walker's score... Incredible.

These movies have all become absolute classics! and they all played a part in helping us become who we are today!!!

1989’s ‘The Little Mermaid’, one of the best Disney animated movies ever made.

[Lalaxbo]

Batman Mask Of The Phantasm was an outstanding Batman animated movie . The amazing story, the animation and the brilliant voiceacting between Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and The Joker 🃏. RIP Kevin Conroy 😢

The Prince of Egypt deserved a spot in this top as well. Beautiful movie.

[brynne]

I'm a little surprised that The Prince of Egypt didn't make it onto this list. Between the amazing soundtrack, animation, and voice acting, it's a great film. Spirit was also a contender, in my mind, for the animation and soundtrack, but also for the depictions of the harm done by colonial progress into the West and the effects it had not only on the Native people, but the wildlife.

[micahcaraballo]

How is Pixar’s “Up” not on this list?! The opening scene of Carl losing Ellie in death was totally unexpected and really sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the movie 👌🏻

Spirited Away is my most favorite Hayao Miyazaki film. I mean, his other movies are really good, but the first time I saw Spirited Away as a kid my mind was blown. And I've loved the movie ever since.

[kyleramey]

Personally, I think Monsters Inc deserves a spot

[me]

I wish "Heavy Metal" would get more attention, it's a visually awesome movie and has a bad ass soundtrack. I'm surprised "Up" didn't make it on this list or at least get a mention.
