As the title says, this is a list of the animated films I believe to be essential viewing for any animation fan. Naturally this list is partly influenced by my own personal tastes and biases, but I have tried to be as representative and far-reaching as possible. My guiding questions when making this list was "Which films would I recommend to the average person interested in animation? Which films do I consider to be "essential viewings"?"

My main criteria for inclusion were:
- historical significance
- accessibility (some films are very hard to find)
- overall quality

If there's a film that is considered essential viewing but isn't on the list, it's most likely because I haven't seen it yet. My watchlist is indicative of that. Therefore this list is subject to change and expand.

Another disclaimer: I cannot guarantee you will like certain films on the list. I simply chose the ones that are commonly cited as the best and most influential in the medium.

Films are arranged in chronological order.

• The Adventures of Prince Achmed
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
• Pinocchio
• Fantasia
• Cinderella
• Animal Farm
