Top 10 Animated Cult Movies

These underrated animated movies are must-sees! For this list, we’re looking at animated films that have devoted cult followings for their originality and quality.

Our list includes “Fantastic Planet” (1973), “Batman: Mask of the Phantasm” (1993), “The Iron Giant” (1999), “Waking Life” (2001), “The Secret of NIMH” (1982), and more!

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is not just a cult classic, it's a masterpiece.

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

"Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" is still one of the best. 👍

[CallanElliott]

Animation is a desperately underappreciated medium.

"you are who you choose to be."

"superman..."

*cries violently*

Black cauldron is truly an underrated classic. I'm Welsh and adore the fact it's based on Welsh mythology, I wish it was more loved.

Can't go wrong with batman, he's the best for a reason.

[Smashking]

How is the Prince of Egypt not even on this list? It's undeniably the best cult classic

[ciaranmcloughlin]

Mask of the Phantasm is a masterpiece. Worth watching.

[Emmerlaus]

Treasure Planet is a masterpiece! Shouldn't be only in the honorary mentions! Would have put it in first place!

[jeffwarner]

I have Heavy Metal on VHS! It's one of the best movies I've ever seen, plus I even have the soundtrack on vinyl.

Batman Mask Of The Phantasm is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Heavy Metal has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. Big props for having on this list and at no. 1 no less!

[EdwarioERS]

It's more like I caught my parents watching Heavy Metal.

[artofviolence]

You forgot We’re Back: A Dinosaur Story, at least an honorable mention.

I can't watch the Last Unicorn without watching the Flight of Dragons right afterwards!

[Nightambre]

Aw. I was sad to see Rock'n Rule didn't make it.

[Gravy_Jones]

Prince of Egypt, Secret of Kells, Rock N Rule, and so many more
