List of most expensive animated films

The following are lists of animated feature films that were the most expensive to make.

Definition

[edit]

For purposes of awarding Academy Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines an animated film as

a motion picture in which movement and characters' performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique, and usually falls into one of the two general fields of animation: narrative or abstract. Some of the techniques of animating films include but are not limited to hand-drawn animation, computer animation, stop-motion, clay animation, pixilation, cutout animation, pinscreen, camera multiple pass imagery, kaleidoscopic effects created frame-by-frame, and drawing on the film frame itself. Motion capture and real-time puppetry are not by themselves animation techniques.[1]

Further, at least 75 percent of the film's running time must contain animation. Narrative animated films must also include a significant number of animated major characters.[1]

The Academy defines a feature film as one with a running time of more than 40 minutes.[1]
