1. Toy Story 96% · 1995 · all ages
   The first fully computer-animated feature still charms. Woody and Buzz's rivalry, the jokes and the emotional centre all hold up, and it works for children and for adults who grew up with it.
2. The Empire Strikes Back 96% · 1980 · ages 8+
   The Empire Strikes Back is the darkest and best-regarded Star Wars film, with a daring ice-planet battle, a chase through an asteroid field and a famous final duel. It ends on a cliffhanger, but it's the standard the series is measured by.
3. Star Wars 94% · 1977 · ages 8+
   The film that changed blockbusters, and it's still a charming, fast space adventure with a clear hero and an easy-to-follow story. The effects look dated, but the energy hasn't.
4. The Lion King 94% · 1994 · ages 5+
   The Lion King mixes a Shakespeare-style family betrayal with great songs and bold animation. The father's death is hard for small children, but the story, music and ending have lasted.

6. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place 94% · 2024 · all ages

9. Toy Story 5 93% · 2026 · all ages
10. Raiders of the Lost Ark 92% · 1981 · ages 8+
    The template for the modern adventure film. Fast, funny and endlessly inventive, with a hero who gets beaten up as much as he wins. It still plays brilliantly decades on.
11. Aladdin 92% · 1992 · all ages
    One of Disney's best animated films, with a quick-witted street thief, a spirited princess and a scene-stealing Genie. The songs are great, the pace never slows, and it works for all ages.
12. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 92% · 2023 · ages 7+
    A dazzling, ambitious sequel that pushes animation further than almost anything before it. The story is bigger and ends on a cliffhanger, so you need the first film and patience for the next.
13. Malcolm in the Middle 92% · 2000 · ages 8+
    One of the funniest family sitcoms ever made, with a gifted kid who breaks the fourth wall and a household in permanent chaos. It's sharp, fast, and still holds up.

20. WALL·E 90% · 2008 · all ages
    WALL-E tells most of its first half without dialogue, and it still pulls you in with a lonely robot, a clean-up job and a love story. It's inventive, funny, and has a message that never feels like a lecture.
21. Soul 90% · 2020 · ages 6+
    Pixar's funny, thoughtful film about a jazz teacher who loses his body and must work out what makes life worth living. It is warm and inventive, and adults may get more from it than kids.
22. Beauty and the Beast 90% · 1991 · all ages
    Disney's animated classic about a bookish girl and a cursed prince is beautifully made, with great songs and real emotional weight. It remains charming for adults and kids.
23. Gravity Falls 90% · 2012 · ages 5+

29. Monsters, Inc. 89% · 2001 · all ages

30. Ratatouille 89% · 2007 · all ages
    A rat who wants to cook in a Paris kitchen sounds absurd, and the film makes it charming, funny and gorgeous to look at. It treats food and creativity with respect, and its ending is lovely.
31. Return of the Jedi 89% · 1983 · ages 8+
    Return of the Jedi wraps up the original trilogy with a rescue, a huge space battle and a showdown between Luke and Vader. The Ewok sections are cute and silly, but the ending has real emotional power.
32. Home Alone 89% · 1990 · ages 6+
    A hugely enjoyable Christmas comedy about a boy left home alone who defends the house against burglars. The slapstick traps are inventive, and the family heart still works for all ages.
33. The Little Mermaid 89% · 1989 · all ages
    The film that restarted Disney animation: a lively mermaid story with songs that still sound great. Ariel is spirited and the sea-witch is a great villain, though the romance is more hurried than the music.

47. The Nightmare Before Christmas 88% · 1993 · ages 6+

62. Zootopia 87% · 2016 · ages 5+
    Zootopia is a buddy-cop comedy with a rabbit and a fox that also deals, cleverly, with prejudice and stereotypes. The jokes and world are inventive, the mystery works, and it holds up for adults.
63. Toy Story 2 87% · 1999 · all ages
    A sequel that's as good as the original, with Woody kidnapped by a toy collector. It's funny and fast, and has a real emotional heart in Jessie's song.
64. Tangled 87% · 2010 · all ages
    A bright, funny fairy-tale adventure about a girl with very long, magical hair who escapes her tower. Charming songs, a lovely look and a winning pair of leads make it good for all ages.
65. Mulan 87% · 1998 · ages 6+
    One of Disney's best from the 1990s. Mulan is a brave, funny heroine, the songs are strong and the story of a young woman posing as a soldier still works for every age.
66. The Emperor's New Groove 87% · 2000 · all ages
    One of Disney's sharpest comedies, and it's short. A selfish emperor becomes a llama, and the jokes land constantly thanks to David Spade, John Goodman and a villain who steals every scene.
67. Lilo & Stitch 87% · 2002 · ages 5+
    A funny, sweet story of a lonely Hawaiian girl and a chaotic alien, and it's about family more than gags. It's imperfect and loose in places, but the central friendship feels true.
68. Fantastic Mr. Fox 87% · 2009 · ages 5+
    Mr. Fox, a sly fox, can't resist one last heist against three angry farmers, and his family pays for it. Wes Anderson's stop-motion comedy is funny, handmade and charming for both children and adults.
69. Anastasia 87% · 1997 · all ages
    A lively animated musical about a young woman seeking her lost family, with a sinister villain and catchy songs. It's more adventurous than most princess films, though history is loosely used.
70. Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir 87% · 2015 · ages 5+
    A bright superhero cartoon about two Paris teens who don't know each other's secret identity. It's aimed at kids and quite formulaic, but it's cheerful and charming.

87. Finding Nemo 86% · 2003 · all ages
    Pixar's underwater search for a lost son is funny, beautiful and moving, and it never talks down to kids. The father's fear of letting go gives it real weight that adults feel as much as children.
88. Raya and the Last Dragon 86% · 2021 · ages 6+
    A handsome Disney fantasy with strong action, a likeable heroine and a good message about trust. The plot is formula, but the world and the fight scenes are well made.
89. Who Framed Roger Rabbit 86% · 1988 · ages 8+
    A tired private detective must clear a cartoon rabbit of murder in a Los Angeles where toons and humans live side by side. The mix of live action and animation is still astonishing, and the film noir plot is smart and funny.
90. The Call of the Wild 86% · 2020 · ages 8+
    A gentle, adventurous version of the classic dog story set in the Yukon gold rush, with Harrison Ford as narrator and co-star. It's warm and well made, though the CGI dog looks artificial.
91. The Sound of Music 86% · 1965 · all ages
    A young nun becomes governess to seven children in pre-war Austria and fills the house with music. It's long, but the songs are among the best-known in film, and it stays warm and sincere.
92. Spies in Disguise 86% · 2019 · ages 8+
    A fast, colourful spy comedy that pairs a smooth agent with an awkward inventor. The jokes land more often than not and the action is lively, though the plot is standard.
93. The Book of Life 86% · 2014 · ages 6+
    A vivid, funny animated film about a young man torn between family duty and his dream. It looks distinct and has lovely music, though it is a little busy and has a familiar love-triangle shape.
94. Remember the Titans 86% · 2000 · ages 8+
    A well-liked football drama about a newly integrated high school team in 1971 Virginia. It is predictable and warm, but the performances and the sense of community make it a very easy film to like.
95. Ron's Gone Wrong 86% · 2021 · ages 6+
96. X-Men 86% · 1992 · Rated TV-Y7
