What to know before choosing
Animation is not an audience, it is a technique — and confusing it with "films for children" means missing half the genre. This list therefore mixes family films with films that are nothing of the kind. Ratings here run structurally higher than in other genres: people rarely watch animation by accident, and an audience that chose rates better. Compare ratings within the genre, never against the rest of the catalog.
Paramount+ carries one of the oldest studio libraries still in circulation, and that is what makes it worth searching. Its own productions are few; its back catalog runs back to the 1950s and is the reason a by-decade list on this platform spreads far wider than on the newer services. Watch the tier, though: some of what the interface shows sits behind the Showtime add-on rather than the base plan, and this list keeps only what the base plan includes.
Frequently asked questions
How were these 24 films chosen?
They come from the TMDB catalog, filtered on audience rating and on a minimum number of votes — without that second filter, a film rated 9 out of 10 by eleven people would outrank a classic. No place is for sale: no platform, distributor or studio can enter this list other than by being well rated.
Which film in this list is rated highest?
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026), with 9 out of 10 from 1,440 audience votes.
Are these films really available on Paramount+ in the US?
Yes, as of the day the page was built. Availability comes from TMDB and JustWatch for the catalog in the US, and the list is rebuilt daily. Streaming catalogs move constantly: a title can leave between two passes, which is why the page carries its date.
Are there any recent releases in this selection?
11 of the 24 films came out since 2021. The rest are older, which is expected: a film needs a few years to gather enough votes to be judged at all.
Do I need an account?
No. Taro eira is free, asks for no account and no subscription, and the two-or-three-question flow works without installing anything.
