It’s time to have the year’s grand finale as we get into the countdowns of the Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2025. In this video, unlike the previous years, the roster of animated movies is bigger than it has ever been. We’re not just looking at the big-name demon hunters and the stand-out sequels that dominated 2025 and everything else I made a review of. Now there’s indie features and international movies added to the mix to make this more unpredictable than before. Who knows what will be found in both the best and the worst list for this year.

Glad that 2025 is over and done with. I really do hope 2026 will be at least decent and worth while. And considering the rise of doomerism, especially on social media, it’s understandable of why many folks, myself included, need to scale back and have more optimism and positivity. And seriously, seeing how the animation community behaved last year, I pray that they need to learn how to grow up and stop making mountain out of molehills. As for the animated films, they’re all pretty solid ngl. For me personally, I enjoy stuff like Dog Man, The Bad Guys 2, Zootopia 2, and Night of the Zoopocalypse. They’re all fun films that give me a good time!

I loved how fixed used the same ending song lovey day just like the secret life of pets .

I know I’m gonna agree and disagree of the picks he made, but the first thing I’ll agree that Smurfs is definitely the worst animated film of 2025. I hate the Smurfs (live action versions) handle by Sony when those films came out but when Paramount bought the rights and took over, they made it even worse than what Sony has done. All they did was repeated the same thing despite the changes of the animation and made it worst so this is hand down the worst animated film of 2025. I also agree the hate on Elio and especially Fixed has taken a bit too far from the animation community. As a cinephile myself, I don’t think those films are the best films to come out from Pixar and Sony. The former does has issues after what happened during production while latter was bold for the company to make an R rated hand drawn animated film but neither didn’t of them didn’t came out great or bad either so the hate is rather overblown. I haven’t seen other films like Night of Zoopocalyse or Stitch Head so I can’t comment on those films. Did see Demon Slayer movie and Chainsaw Man movie though as a fan of both of the anime’s. Also, I haven’t seen Arco yet either but thankfully it will be expanded wide to theaters in a couple of weeks so there is that. I don’t consider the Wallace and Gromit movie a 2025 film given I have seen the movie already in 2024 when someone uploaded the BBC version onto YouTube so I’ll stick to being a 2024 release instead. For the best, I consider KPop Demon Hunters, Little Amelie, and Zootopia 2 are my top three best animated films with Looney Tunes movie and Chainsaw Man behind them with KPop Demon Hunters being my favorite animated film of 2025. That film left me an impact the most given I have seen it so many times on Netflix and in theaters so for that I’ll never forget it. Hope 2026 will be better than 2025 with new animated films and movies in general coming out!

I know that Smurfs 2025 animation looks like a Nintendo Switch game

I didn't think one of the biggest films culturally speaking would be KPOP but boy was i wrong.

This Top 5 Best and Worst list was definitely worth the wait, and I was surprised to see a lot of indie animated films on here. Probably the most non-reviewed animated films on your Top 5 Best and Worst list since 2020, but I do appreciate you’re giving attention to indie animated films considering they’re often overlooked in favor of the more mainstream ones. Maybe next year, you’ll actually review indie animated films alongside the main ones. Nothing wrong with going outside the US and expanding your horizons while at the same time expanding the AniMat’s Reviews series. Also, all I can say when seeing the #1 Worst Pick is…. I CALLED IT! YES!!! I KNEW that was going to be #1. Although the best list was very surprising with, as I already mentioned, the focus of indie animated films, and the #1 best being a completely a different animated film than what I predicted. However, it was still a good choice and I can see why you went with it. So, this was a really well done list, and I can’t wait to see if the upcoming animated films can help to make this year better than 2025. We’ll have to wait and see. I know I’m hyped for Hexed and Toy Story 5.

This looks like a good video to start my new paid patronage on. Also, I knew he would use that clip as the post-credit scene. I look forward to a year of early video watches.

Zooptia 2 villain pawbert was a improvement over dawn bellwether

Who knew a cheese loving inventor & his loyal dog would be the Best Animated Film of 2025, even I didn't see that coming but what should I expect from you personally my list for best & worst would be: Best: 1. The Day the Earth Blew UP: a Looney Tunes Movie 2. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 3. Nezha 2 4. Zootopia 2 5. The Bad Guys 2 Worst 1. The Smurfs 2. In your Dreams 3. Sneaks 4. SpongeBob SquarePants Search for SquarePants 5. The Twits Great list Mat and if Avengers Doomsday is everyone's anticipated movie of the year childs play to my most hyped movie of year: COYOTE VS ACME

Bryce Gundy

“Sneaks don’t talk around here. We converse.” Squidward: “Someone kill me now.”

TellyToon

Hold on. I thought the movie was called "Rihanna is Smurfette: The Smurfs" That's what the posters and DVD covers been constantly showing.

Zoe Lindwall

My mom doesn’t like the fixed movie

Hunter O'Laughlin

What’s the joke? (Or more accurately the bad one)

Bryce Gundy

Converse means to talk and it’s also a type of shoe. And, I was also making a similar joke that Animat made in his review of the Sandy Cheeks Movie.

Hunter O'Laughlin

Movie trying to push Rihanna front and center in all advertising related to the 2025 Smurfs film.

Honestly I'm just glad In Your Dreams didn't make the Best list. Honestly the first year I did not watch all or most animated movies I knew about cause I just couldn't (Also sorry I simply didn't get around to Ne Zha 2 or K Pop Demon Hunters but I definitely think they'd be great) but with Vengeance Most Fowl I watched 11 so Best and Worst are Best: 5. The Spongebob Movie The Search for Squarepants 4. Elio 3. Zootopia 2 2. Wallace and Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl 1. The Bad Guys 2 The Middle: Plankton the Movie Worst: 5. Dog Man 4. The Twits 3. Sneaks 2. In Your Dreams 1. The Smurfs

Hunter O'Laughlin

That really is a bad joke; the converse joke, not your Squidward quote. Might as well use one as well: “Here. Please hit me with this as hard as you can.”

Zoe Lindwall

I still surprised that the sandman was the British villain in in your dreams.

Not gonna lie, I haven't watched many of the films featured on your list, probably due to how most didn't peak my interest. That, and how 2025 was as bad of a dumpster fire of a year since 2020. K Pop Demon Hunters is still on my watchlist, though I have seen Zootopia 2, which was such a good movie. As always, you never cease to entertain me with your choices.
