Favorite Animated Film of Each Year of the 2010s!


Hello all! I've been reviving these fun decade topics in which you list your favorite animated films from each year of a given decade. Since the original 2000s topic disappeared, I've revived it and split it into two to keep things 10 years at a time. Now of course we are only halfway through this current decade, so just edit your post and add films as the new years roll in! Now here I go again!

2010- Colorful (My favorite movie of all time!)
2011- From Up on Poppy Hill
2012- It's Such a Beautiful Day (Best year of decade thus far, 2010 is close.)
2013- The Garden of Words
2014- When Marnie Was There
2015- Inside Out
2016- Moana (I'm sure I'll get a "You're Welcome" from this!)

Update: 2015 added thanks to an amazing Pixar film! Mamoru Hosoda and Keichi Hara may have something to say about my pick later, but I'm extremely happy with this pick for a while.

Update 2: 2016 added.

Update 3: Recently the subject of animated shorts has come up in a couple of my topics. I would just like to clarify full length features only here. My sources put a full length animated feature as being at least 40 minutes and at least 75% animated.

My top 3 for each year:

2010:
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Surviving Life (Theory and Practice)
The Illusionist
Edit: Also I should mention the short film Pan-dane to Tamago-hime.

2011:
The Tragedy of Man
Tatsumi
The Painting

2012:
Wreck-It Ralph
Ernest & Celestine
It's Such a Beautiful Day

2013:
Princess Kaguya
The Wind Rises
Frozen

2014:
Mushishi Tokubetsu-hen: Hihamukage
Big Hero 6
The Lego Movie

I've only seen 4 from 2014 and 7 from 2013, so I didn't have many to choose from, but I'm watching a lot of anime this month so hopefully by the end of the month I'll be caught up. I still need to watch Patema Inverted, Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled From Paradise, Giovanni's Island, Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene, the Madoka Magica movies, and probably a few others that I'm forgetting. I also need to watch some stuff from other countries but I don't think I'll get around to them before the end of the month.

Edit: And of course I need to watch When Marnie Was There but it hasn't been released on DVD yet.

Alright.
2010- Toy Story 3: Oh. come on. It's Toy Story 3.
2011- Rango: A delightful change from the cute and cuddly to the disturbing and ugly.
2012- Wreck-it Ralph: My favorite modern Disney movie.
2013- The Wind Rises: Simply beautiful. (sorry, Frozen. You came close.)
2014- The LEGO Movie: I've probably watched this, what, 20 times already? Hilarious, colorful, nostalgic, touching, and ingenious, and it only gets better each time I watch it.
