"As more and more renowned American filmmakers shift their focus onto the realm of adult animation—think Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson, and Charlie Kaufman—the form continues to evolve, from the hand-crafted wool figures of "Isle of Dogs" to the 3D-printed puppets of "Anomalisa."
To determine the best animated films for adult audiences, Stacker took a look at IMDb data for all animated movies with a PG-13, R, or NC-17 rating and at least 20,000 votes and ranked the top 25 by user rating, with ties broken by votes. Some more conservatively rated PG-13 movies were not included, as they get their rating from mature themes, like being set during wartime, but are still geared toward older kids over adults."
