Whether it's The Lion King, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Beauty and the Beast, or any other title, there are hundreds of such films to choose from. Here are five unputdownable options.
'Kung Fu Panda' franchise
If there is one animated movie, rather, a franchise, that I would constantly want to go back and watch, it is the Kung Fu Panda series. The first part of the film was released in 2008 followed by its sequels in 2011 and 2016. The fourth installment of the much-loved franchise will be released in theaters in 2024.
'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'

Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon gave the lead voices.
'The Super Mario Bros.'
Another animated film that has a childhood memory attached to it is this movie. While playing the game on our computers, we all wanted Mario to clear all the levels and save the princess. The very favorite game came alive when Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic directed this film. Chris Pratt voiced for Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy for Princess Peach.
