This ranking provides the best 15 films based on its animated character. It is worth to mention that only Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks films were cited and the rank was based on the votes of the public on IMdB and the quality of the story. There are more Japanese and other-nationality films that are not listed here, like: Dragon Ball Z (which has the highest score of an animated film [9.9/10] and was released already in March 2013 in Japan), Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro, among others. So, here it goes, I have to say that I agree with the list and I must recognise two things, the first one is that the public does not make mistakes in terms of choosing the best films and the second is the impressive progress in terms of quality and visual effects.
