5. Inside Out (2015): What Happens Inside a Girl's Head, Cartoon Movies

Overview. Riley is a Minnesota girl born with five personifications of her basic emotions—joy, sadness, disgust, fear, and anger—coming to life in her head. Riley’s conscious mind, Headquarters, is home to the emotions, which use a control console to affect Riley’s behaviour and memories.

Riley’s symptoms fit the clinical criteria for adjustment disorder, despite the disorder not being frequently discussed or depicted in popular culture. Rivera and Docter (2015) effectively depicted Riley’s adjustment disorder throughout the movie by using a variety of cinematographic techniques to visually depict Riley’s challenges.

6. Coco (2017): A Journey to Remember Family

6. Coco (2017) A Journey to Remember Family, 10 Best Cartoon Movies for Kids and Adults

The movie Coco serves as a timely reminder of the value and impact of mise-en-scène, especially in cases where everything is computer-generated and animated. This movie is a must-see for all movie lovers, especially those who identify as Latino, and it ranks among Pixar’s greatest works.

Pixar has consistently maintained that Coco’s endearing abuela was purely imaginary and not based on any real-life person. The Ramirez family, however, asserts that Maria Salud was met and photographed by a Pixar team.

7. Encanto (2021): A Magical Colombian Family

7. Encanto (2021): A Magical Colombian Family, Cartoon Movies

The movie’s lesson is to have faith in oneself and to never give up because, in the end, there will be light. I rate Encanto five stars and suggest it for adults and kids aged ten to eighteen.

Even though “Encanto” is set in a fictional community, actual locations serve as inspiration. The film crew conducted research in Colombia for two weeks.

8. Moana (2016): A Brave Princess Sailing Adventure

Even though it acknowledges the numerous Spider-Man films that have come before it, the moving coming-of-age story is relevant and inspirational, and the comic book-inspired visuals are breathtaking.

Compared to western anime, Japanese anime often produces more sophisticated themed animated films. Among the best are the following (UK age ratings included):

  • Perfect Blue (1997) (18)
  • Ghost in the Shell (1995) (15)
  • Akira (1988) (15)
  • Paprika (2006) (15)
  • Belladonna of Sadness (1973) (18)
  • Wicked City (1987) (18)
  • Night is Short, Walk on Girl (2017) (15)

Every animated movie is suitable for younger audiences. However, at two years old, they are unable to comprehend every movie! I propose that you air a few humorous episodes, such as Tom and Jerry.

Prefer the adorableness of the characters over the plot if you truly want to screen animated films. For example, showcasing animated figures that are a part of our everyday existence.

  • Finding Nemo – Fishes
  • Toy Story – Toys
  • Ice age – Animals
  • Zootopia – Animals (ZOO)
  • Cars
