All the animated movies in the world, sort of.
- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished/seen or saw sizable portions
- Bold what you loved
- Italicize what you disliked/hated
- Leave unchanged if neutral
Note: I loved a lot of these movies when they came out, but I'm judging based on whether I still go out of my way to watch them again. I own a lot of them, but I never seem to watch them.
