I have watched many animated films over my lifetime, so it was hard to narrow it down to my top 10 favorite of all time. After looking through my collection, of 60 plus animated movies. Remembering which ones I have enjoyed, and gave me the most memories, I have finally narrowed it down to 10.
My tenth favorite animated movie of all time is...
"Toy Story"
Toy Story is about a boy named Andy, who gets a new toy for his birthday. Andy's favorite toy up to now has been Woody. But, when Buzz Lightyear arrives, Woody gets jealous. With all the commotion of the two trying to get rid of each other, they end up in the neighbors yard. A boy named Sid, who likes to dismember his toys, finds them. Now it is up to Buzz and Woody to save the other toys from being tortured. Meanwhile Andy and his mother are moving away, and Woody and Buzz get left behind. Now Woody and Buzz must band together and find their way back to Andy.
Toy Story is a great movie, and computers digitally make the animation. The songs are wonderful; especially "You Got a Friend in me".
Toy Story is one of my favorites because of the wonderful animation. Tim Allen and Tom Hanks do a wonderful job as Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Toy Story also tells the story of friendship and loyalty.
My ninth favorite animated movie of all time is...
"Dumbo"
Dumbo starts of with The Stork dropping of babies' to parents who are expecting new bundles of joy. When Ms. Jumbo gets her bundle of joy Jumbo Jr., everyone laughs because Jumbo has big ears, nicknaming him "Dumbo". But, his mommy could care less, and loves him just the same. When a little boy makes fun of Dumbo, Ms. Jumbo defends her son, and gets locked up for it. With the help of Timothy Mouse, Dumbo learns he has the ability to fly. Dumbo becomes the star of the circus, and is later reunited with his mother.
The song "Baby Mine" is great, and makes you tear up every time. It shows the love a mother has for her child. The animation is bright and nicely detailed.
Dumbo is one of my favorites because it teaches you shouldn't judge someone on how they look. It also shows the love of a mother for her son, and she will do anything to protect her child.

The friends encounter a volcano and a Sharptooth on the way to The Great Valley.
