Animated movies aren’t just for kids anymore. Some of the most popular movies of 2016 were Zootopia, Finding Dory, and The Secret Lives of Pets. Disney’s Frozen (2013) became the highest-grossing animated movie ever made. Animated movies are now an important force in the movie industry.

Making animated movies can take much longer than making a traditional movie. This is partly because approximately seven hours are needed to render one single frame of animated movie. In fact, for Frozen it took 30 hours to render one frame. With 24

frames per second of finished movie, the people at Disney had to work very hard to finish the movie in just two years.

Most animated movies have big-name stars attached to

them to voice the characters. Tom Hanks voiced the

character of Woody in the Toy Story movies, while Angelina Jolie was cast as the voice of Tigress in the Kung Fu Panda movies. Using famous actors to voice animated characters is meant to tempt adults into going to animated movies with their children.

Studio executives know that the bigger the name, the more likely adults will tag along with their kids.

To further emphasize the impact animated movies have

had on the movie industry, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences began giving out Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature in 2001. The prestige of winning such an important award results in more ticket sales for movie theaters and more profits for

animated moviemakers.

Q: A good title for the article would be _________ .
