Movie Watchlist: 7 Best CG Movies

The technological advancements of the past couple of decades has brought about some great improvements to art and animation. In fact technology is so advanced that most computer generated (CG) graphics can integrate seamlessly into movies with such high degree of realism that makes it highly indistinguishable from the real life object. Truly, these advancements have made everything possible in movies. Below is a list of top movies that were entirely in CG.



1. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - This movie narrates the events a few years after the events of the game Final Fantasy VII. Perhaps one of the best CG movies ever produced. This movie has features highly detailed characters that are computer animated "humans."
2. Toy Story - One of the first fully CG animated movies by Disney. A story about the adventures of toys owned by a boy named Andy.
3. Shrek series - Next on this watchlist is Shrek, this series however seems more of like a 3D cartoon show. Nonetheless, a fun movie to watch. A movie that will definitely keep you laughing.
4. Wall-e - A movie with absolutely very little speech, unless you consider clanking metal and squeaking wheels as words. This movie uses more advanced technologies by Pixar as compared to their earlier hit "Toy Story." This movie boasts of more detailed visuals and beautifully rendered environments.
5. A Chrismas Carol - A 3D version of a beloved Charles Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol." The grouchy Ebenezer Scrooge returns along with the 3 ghosts of Christmas. This time though they're bigger, meaner, scarier and as memorable as ever.
6. Up - Another Pixar production. A heartwarming story of the adventures of an old man and a young boy scout to fulfill the old man's lifelong dream.
7. Appleseed - Probably not many have heard of this. This CG movie uses a cell-shading technique, which makes it look like a hand drawn animation but still retain the depth of a 3D movie. This movie tells of a girl who is rescued from a war that has long ended only to find herself in another conflict.
