List of most expensive animated films
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following are lists of animated feature films that were the most expensive to make.
An animated feature film is defined as a motion picture with a running time of more than 40 minutes, in which movement and characters' performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique. Motion capture by itself is not an animation technique. In addition, a significant number of the major characters must be animated, and animation must figure in no less than 75 percent of the picture's running time.
