- List of computer-animated films
-
A computer-animated film commonly refers to feature films that have been computer-animated to appear three dimensional on a movie screen. While traditional 2D animated films are now done primarily with the help of computers, the technique to render realistic 3D computer graphics (CG), or 3D Computer-generated imagery (CGI), is unique to using computers to create movies.
This is a list of theatrically released movies that are entirely computer-animated, and rendered in 3D. These are sometimes referred to as CG films.
Contents
Released films
Release date listed is the first public theatrical screening of the completed film. This may mean that the dates listed here may not be representative of when the film came out in your resident country, or when it was widely released in the United States.
Computer-animated films typically have two production companies: an animation studio and a distribution company. For example, Pixar creates and produces their features and Walt Disney Pictures distributes them. There are also often other production companies that are involved in other aspects of the film. In this list, the main animation studio(s) will be listed first, sometimes followed by the main distribution company in italics.
The county or countries listed reflects the place or places where the production companies for each title are based. This means that the countries listed for a film might not reflect the location where the film was shot or the countries where the film received a theatrical release. If a title is a multi-country production, the country listed first corresponds with the production company that had the most significant role in the film's creation.
