Animated movies are often kid friendly, and many Disney classics, including {{Beauty-and-the-Beast_6b82635a-2a7e-461c-bf44-7f2022165f61}} and {{The-Lion-King_2524da09-764a-45f4-ac3c-4886840a6de9}}, are family favorites. In a movie landscape that encompasses no less than thirteen sequels to {{The-Land-Before-Time_a5b2a04c-c6f1-40e3-917e-5df6e3370731}}, many parents have praised the originality and emotional stakes in Pixar's output since they introduced fully computer-animated features with {{Toy-Story_3c8f944d-c7f1-4c6b-87fc-5e7b98425213}}, and both of these qualities are evident in the montage at the beginning of {{Up_2f58ae30-2180-497b-b900-cd552ca7e4bf}}. Movie magic at its purest.

In terms of sheer entertainment, Dreamworks arguably managed to hold their own against the likes of Pixar's superhero movie {{The-Incredibles_8aea562a-31db-44e1-a221-b476f3bdc5b6}} with the fun animated movies {{How-To-Train-Your-Dragon_c2c29567-c5a5-4ccd-8238-621773da279b}} and {{Kung-Fu-Panda_7bd22c14-972f-4be5-a492-481482aff2e0}} in which the choreography is of a caliber that would be nearly impossible to achieve in a live-action movie. Some connoisseurs, however, will prefer Hayao Miyazaki's {{My-Neighbor-Totoro_87fa6190-6ff8-42b6-8cf1-84d6091e60d7}} and {{Princess-Mononoke_b5527ec1-b673-445b-be6d-cf3f6bd79876}} and other Studio Ghibli films.

Some animated movies, including many anime movies such as the Japanese sci-fi classics {{Akira_ed26b4c4-5724-4aef-9b73-37b9fb730f4d}} and {{Ghost-in-the-Shell_746d42ab-34c6-43d2-8aeb-a3f0a6e31a43}}, are for mature audiences. In {{A-Scanner-Darkly_eaf2e213-d602-4086-87f0-7761a0449b45}}, rotoscoping (a technique that entails drawing on top of live-action footage) communicates the distortions of the minds of junkies. And in {{Anomalisa_971c5575-3669-4a9c-acaa-9b92f292db63}}, stop-motion is used to make Charlie Kaufman's psychological drama even more unique and, at times, nightmarish.
