Top 10 Best Computer Generated 3D Animation Movies

Animation is one of the major advancements of cinema in general, because it allows for an addition of style and fantastical sets to the otherwise plain structure of cinema. Nowadays, animation and 3D rendering has become an essential part of almost every movie, but true animation is showcased in separate, entirely animated films.

Needless to say, animation too has progressed over time , having various different techniques. Starting from stop motion or clay animation, which is basically taking multiple shots of clay models , which’s shape is changed by hand (examples include Wallace and Gromit and Corpse Bride) , moving on to regular 2D animation made by taking photographs of pre-made pictures, and the now obsolete drawing directly on film.

The type of animation which is closest to us in time , however, is called CG or computer generated. I’m sure you can think of many and different movies from that genre, but here are the top 10  computer generated movies:

9.  Bolt (2008)
