A listicle celebrating ten animated films that are considered nearly perfect from beginning to end, challenging the perception that animation is merely children's entertainment and demonstrating the artistry and depth of the medium.

– **Shrek 2** — Widely regarded as the best entry in the franchise, it improves upon the original with excellent humour, character development, strong animation, and expanded worldbuilding.
– **The LEGO Batman Movie** — Captured the essence of Batman better than many live-action films, combining humour with an emotionally compelling narrative about overcoming isolation and building family.
– **Zootopia** — A 2016 Disney film that effectively uses animation for all ages to address themes of discrimination and bigotry, featuring excellent worldbuilding and standout performances from its voice cast including Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman.
