with the technological boom came the
animation boom and some bloomin good
movies welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 animated movies of the 1990s
for this list we’ve looked at all
animated films released within the
decade and have selected those that
achieved the most success we’re the most
original and advanced the animation
industry farthest am i trying
much too hard we’re only looking at
feature-length films however so no
shorts this is part of a series of
videos spanning the decades of animated
movies from the 1920s to the 2000s
Freddie Mushu number 10 ghost in the
shell’ to begin we’re brought into the
future with this anime classic ghost hat
humans are so pathetic it’s a shame
written by cousin Odie Ito and directed
by Mamoru Oshii ghost in the shell’ is
an exploration of a world more
technologically advanced than our own
but it’s more than simple science
fiction you will not find the corpse
because I have never possessed a body as
was becoming typical with Japanese works
there’s a philosophical edge to this
movie and a very definite emotional side
I have to see for myself what’s in there
if there is a real ghost I’m gonna find
it
it didn’t achieve instant mainstream
success but it’s more than good value
for a place in our top 10
number nine Mulan ha Mulan presents to
continue with an East Asian theme our
focus switches from Japan to China for
our next movie and from the future to
the past the items have invaded China
mallanna’s Disney’s adaptation of a
Chinese legend in which a woman
impersonates a man to be given the
chance to fight for her country I’ve got
a name and it’s a boy’s name – there’s
no place for gender stereotypes in this
story as Mulan proves an
unconventionally inspirational female
figure with Eddie Murphy voicing moo shu
alright that’s it
this onna there’s some comic relief too
as Disney delivers a typically awesome
effort number 8 The Nightmare Before
Christmas Oh
inside of these balls and emptiness
began to grow perhaps one of the most
instantly recognizable animations of the
era this nightmare was way better than
your average bad dream
nor we we have Tim Burton’s notoriously
original imagination to thank for this
one as Jack Skellington and company were
first created by the writer director
for a poem he wrote in 1982 it’s not
what might be considered a traditional
holiday film but it’s earned a spot in
Christmas pop-culture and deservedly so
Merry Christmas and what is your name a
stop-motion standard-bearer and a signal
of spooky things to come from burton
number 7 James and the Giant Peach more
brilliance from Burton as he acts as
producer on another curious kind of
creepy creation no one will be eating
you James G ahead and suck out the brain
an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s much-loved
story James and the Giant Peach offers
way more than your recommended daily
allowance of fun by continental food
while the film does feature some live
action it’s the stop-motion animation
that’s really the star here in fact it’s
so technically stunning that it received
piles of critical praise
I love that in terms of the story the
title character sees his morbid
existence transform into a magical one
over the course of this movie as he
navigates the surreal and frankly
psychedelic minds of Dahl Burton and
director Henry Selick combined this eye
from a giant peach with an animated
inside what will they think of next
I say three cheers for James hey number
six the Iron Giant rock tree get it
unlike most of the components of this
list the Iron Giant did not fare too
well at the box office
sorry I can’t pay you more an adaptation
of the 1968 Ted Hughes novel the iron
man it was poorly marketed by Warner
Brothers and became a financial loss
he’s not the hero he’s the villain
however it won widespread critical
acclaim at the time and has been
remembered with fondness since know the
titular giant didn’t stand out as he
should have done in 99 but has gained
recognition with age well he’ll it came
from outer space people what were we
thinking
number five Beauty and the Beast thank
you during Disney’s renowned early 90s
Renaissance this movie was one of its
leading lights
the first animated movie ever to be
nominated for the Academy Award for Best
Picture Beauty and the Beast was also
selected for preservation by the
National Film registry in 2002 see I
told ya as it was deemed culturally
historically or aesthetically
significant by the Library of Congress
you like it it’s wonderful the respect
and admiration that it received was
almost unparalleled for a film of its
type it was beauty it was beast it was
brilliant
tale as old as time song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the bees number four Princess
Mononoke there look a breakthrough movie
for Hayao Miyazaki in terms of his
gaining attention in North America
Princess Mononoke is an historical
fantastical epic of an anime yes I was
prepared the very moment that I let my
arrow fly upon release in Japan it was
an all-out record-breaking success can
you hear me princess of beasts if it’s
me you want Here I am it proved a slow
burner in the rest of the world but a
very bright one as well take it easy
I’m trying to get you out tackling
environmental issues with originality
and genuine concern it demanded
attention from all corners of the globe
and got it we plant trees humans tear
them up if he wasn’t already Miyazaki
was placed firmly on the animation map
post Mononoke

what would you wish of me ever
impressive but never duplicated genie
oh the lamb it’s a whole new world and a
dazzling third place
number two The Lion King
if there’s ever been a better animated
adaptation of William Shakespeare’s
Hamlet we have yet to see it
not that Elizabethan monologues were
especially on our minds when we watched
The Lion King it was less to be or not
to be and more Hakuna Matata Hakuna
Matata ain’t no passing craze another
glorious group of characters is this
time headed by Simba the reluctant but
rightful heir to the throne of the pride
lands

my name is woody and this is Andy’s room
Disney’s Renaissance dominated the early
90s but at the decade’s midpoint another
school of God emerged and excited us
even more excuse me I think the word
you’re searching for is Space Ranger
Pixar brought us Toy Story the first
feature-length movie to be entirely
computer animated
quite apart from its technological
prowess however this was also a very
fine film buzz will you get up here and
give me a hand the eclectic characters
the a-list voice talent the seriously
