The 41 Best Animated Movies of the 21st Century According to IndieWire

"One more time: Animation is a medium, not a genre — Animation is film," Guillermo del Toro said earlier this year. IndieWire couldn't agree more, and yet animation, an art form that requires the most precise control of the cinematic medium, is continually disrespected. Following a presentation at the Oscars this year that, in the words of animation wizards Phil Lord and Chris Miller, framed "the five Academy Award nominees for Best Animated Feature as a corporate product for kids that parents must begrudgingly endure," the directing duo called upon the Academy to do better by animation. What better way to defend the art form than to round up the best animated movies of the 21st century? These movies speak for themselves, and show how vital animation is right now.
