Top Ten Family Animated Movies

In no particular order:

  1. Shrek (1 and 2 are best, although all are worth watching)
  2. Lion King (all of them)
  3. Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure (Most watched movie from my childhood, saw it again recently and loved it just as much)
  4. The Emperor's New Groove (Kronk, that's all I'm saying)
  5. The Road to El Dorado (Hans Zimmer and Elton John's brilliant soundtrack over a touching and hilarious story)
  6. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Anyone who doesn't cry at the end of this movie has a heart of stone. Beautiful animation, a great story and a brilliant and powerful soundtrack from Zimmer and Bryan Adams)
  7. Any Hayao Miyazaki movie, at the very least Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle.
  8. Chicken Run (It's Aardman at their finest. "I don't want to be a pie, I don't like gravy")
  9. The Nightmare Before Christmas (Painstakingly stop-motion animated, Danny Elfman, Tim Burton, what else is their to say? Also, check out Corpse Bride. It's got Johnny Depp!)
  10. Up! (The first five minutes of this film is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. So is the rest.)
Please, all of you out there with children, there's so much rubbish these days, don't let these classics die (sure, Shrek might not be a classic yet, but give it a few years).

Honourable mentions:

Aristocats, 101 Dalmations, Hoodwinked, Kronk's New Groove (More Kronk!), The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Robots, Monsters, Inc., Tarzan, The Adventurers Down Under, Despicable Me
