How to choose

What to look for in animation films

Animated features span hand-drawn classics, stop-motion craft and modern CG pipelines. What separates the strongest ones is design and timing: expressive character work and jokes that land for adults as well as children.

Watch for character design that reads at a glance, jokes that work for adults as well as children, and music that is part of the storytelling rather than a bolt-on.

Where to start: Pick by technique first. Stop-motion and hand-drawn films reward a big screen and patience. CG features are usually the easier family evening.
