Walt Disney Pictures has a long history of producing quality animated feature films dating all the way back to 1937 with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. For those of us who grew up with Disney on Home Video, there are dozens of films from our childhoods which played an integral role in shaping who we are as adults – from our imaginations to our aspirations. But the real question is… which of Disney’s films rank among the best animated films of all times?
If you were to go by the American Film Institute’s Top 10 Animated Films, then Disney (and collaborator Pixar) has made nine of the ten best American animated films, with rival Dreamwork’s Shrek sneaking in at position number eight.
