A computer-animated film is an animated feature film that was created using computer software to appear three-dimensional. While traditional 2D animated films are now made primarily with the help of computers, the technique to render realistic 3D computer graphics (CG) or 3D computer-generated imagery (CGI), is unique to computer animation. This is a list of theatrically released feature films that are entirely computer-animated.
