List of Universal Pictures theatrical animated features


 * This article is about all animated features produced by or released through Universal Pictures and its predecessors. For a list of features produced by Universal Animation Studios and its predecessors, see List of Universal Animation Studios films. For lists of features produced by other animation studios owned by NBCUniversal, see List of Illumination films and List of DreamWorks Animation productions.

This list of theatrical animated feature films consists of animated films released by Universal Pictures, the film division of Comcast through the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group division of its wholly owned subsidiary NBCUniversal.

Universal Pictures releases films from Universal-owned and non-Universal owned animation studios. Most films listed below are from Universal Animation Studios which began as the feature animation department of Universal, producing its first feature-length animated film Ama and the Mysterious Crystal in 1997 and as of 2019 has produced a total of 24 feature films. Beginning with Despicable Me in 2010, Universal Pictures also released animated films by Illumination Entertainment, which was founded in 2007 by Chris Meledandri and became a division of Universal, and by DreamWorks Animation starting with How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2019.

Other studio units have also released films theatrically, namely Universal's former Gingo Animation unit (before it was spun off in 2005) and the studio's distribution unit, which acquires film rights from outside animation studios to release films under the Universal Pictures or Focus Features labels. For example, Laika's stop-motion animated features were released by Universal through its Focus Features label. Other studios globally have released films through Universal Pictures which maintains distribution rights in certain territories.
