Lists of animated feature films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 80.223.60.231 (talk) at 19:43, 3 January 2007 ('''[[2007 in film|2007]]'''). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of animated feature-length films from around the world organised chronologically by year; theatrical releases as well as made-for-TV and direct-to-video movies. In order to qualify for this list, films must be over 40 minutes long and have animation in at least 75% of their running time, or have at least 40 minutes of animation in total.

Although the current Academy standard is a minimum of 70 minutes, this list chooses to use the BFI, AMPAS and AFI definitions of a feature film (according to the current Academy standard, Disney's Dumbo, which is commonly considered to be part of the Disney features canon, would be classified as an animated short). For marionette films like Team America: World Police, or films featuring non-animated puppets, please look here instead.

All films added to this list must be in alphabetical order under the year of release (the year during which the completed film was first released to the public).

Lost/unfinished films

Film Country Notes
The Apostle
El Apóstol
Argentina 1917: The world's first animated feature film, by Quirino Cristiani. All copies believed to be lost in a fire in 1926.
Without a Trace
Sin dejar rastros
Argentina 1918: Cristiani's second feature film, following on the success of The Apostle. The film was seized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and seems to never have been shown. All copies are believed to be lost.
Peludópolis Argentina 1931: Cristiani's third feature film, and the world's first to have a synchronized soundtrack. Also believed to be lost.
The Adventures of Pinocchio Italy 1936: Was supposed to be Italy's first animated feature, but it was never finished and is now thought to be lost.
The Tale of the Priest and of his Workman Balda
Сказка о попе и о его работнике Балде (Skazka o pope i yevo rabotnike Balde)
USSR 1930s: A scenario for an animated feature film was written by director Mikhail Tsekhanovskiy, and music was composed by Shostakovich. It would have been the USSR's first traditionally-animated feature film, but it was never finished. The market scene stands alone as a classic of Russian animated films.
The Thief and the Cobbler USA 1960s-1990s: film was taken away from the director and released as Arabian Knight and The Princess and the Cobbler; heavily edited versions with much of the already-filmed footage cut out. Unofficial restorations of the original film are available.
The Works USA 1970s-1980s: It was meant to be the first computer animated feature in the world, but was never completed.
