List of longest animated films

This is a list of the longest animated feature films with a running time of 120 minutes (2 hours) or more are included here. While the majority of animated features on this list are produced in Japan or the United States, some animated features are also produced outside of those countries.

Some individual animated features for which traditional narrative techniques are not applicable, or those not intended for wide release. The longest films in experimental form are typically longer than those given a wide release. Exceptionally, AI-generated animated features and machinima are never included on the list.
