Miles Morales shooting his webs while sliding down a surface in 'Spider-Man- Across the Spider-Verse' (2023)

Animation is a unique medium with abilities that are completely its own. Capable of telling highly imaginative stories with virtually no visual limitations, animated movies are the perfect blank canvas for filmmakers to paint their most creative stories. Very often, the stories that these filmmakers tell are meant to appeal to children's sense of wonder and their belief in magic.

The vibrant animation is lovely, Yoshifumi Kondô's direction is unique, and Shizuku is by far one of the best characters in Ghibli's body of work. Though definitely aimed at kids, Whisper of the Heart approaches its young audience with respect and no trace of patronizing. The result is a beautiful coming-of-age story that manages to ring equally true with children and adults alike, thanks to a fantastic script telling a bittersweet yet all-too-relatable tale of love.

7 'Alice in Wonderland' Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske Delightfully bizarre and psychedelic, Alice in Wonderland is Disney's interpretation of Lewis Carroll's iconic story. It's about Alice, a girl who stumbles into the dreamlike world of Wonderland. There, the Queen of Hearts tries to ensure that she doesn't make it back home.

5 'The Lion King' Directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff 1994's The Lion King is often praised as not just one of the best animated movies of the 20th century but possibly Disney's magnum opus. Inspired by African folktales and even Shakespeare's Hamlet, it's about a young lion prince exiled from his kingdom by his treacherous uncle Scar, who killed his father and took the throne for himself.

How to Train Your Dragon is a story of forbidden friendship, romance, courage, and fathers and sons. At its core, though, it's a beautiful coming-of-age tale about a boy who finds the true meaning of manhood and courage, which may not exclusively lie in hunting dragons but rather in leading with patience, empathy, and humility. How to Train Your Dragon tells a very emotionally resonant story with a hard-hitting third act, displaying all that makes family fantasy movies so magical.
