🎨 Best Animated Movies of All Time
Our ranking of the best animated movies of all time, aggregated from dozens of published critic lists and fan votes — a film climbs by appearing across many sources, not on any one opinion. Here are the top 60, each with its IMDb score, critic and audience ratings, and how far those two disagree.

How this ranking is made
Every film on this page earns its place by consensus, not by star rating. We collect dozens of published rankings — critics' lists, magazine round-ups, fan polls and community votes — and merge them with reciprocal rank fusion, which rewards a film for appearing near the top of many independent lists rather than at the very top of one. That makes the order hard to skew: a single outlet's idiosyncratic favourite can't buy its way up, and a film everyone quietly agrees on rises even where no one called it number one. AI-generated lists are down-weighted.
The ratings beside each entry come from a different place entirely — IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes critics and audience, and Metacritic — and are shown so you can see where the crowd and the critics part company. A Critics' darling badge means reviewers scored it at least 15 points above the audience; Crowd-pleaser is the reverse; Unanimous acclaim means every source agrees it is very good. Those badges are not part of the ranking — they describe it.
💬 Did we miss one — or get one wrong?
This list is real-world consensus — what people actually feel — not a star-rating popularity contest. That only works with voices like yours. Think a title is missing, or ranked in the wrong spot?
