This list of theatrical animated feature films consists of animated films released by Universal Pictures, the film division of Comcast through the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group division of its wholly-owned subsidiary NBCUniversal.

Universal Pictures releases films from Universal-owned and non-Universal owned animation studios. Most films listed below are from Universal Animation Studios which began as the feature animation department of Universal, producing its first feature-length animated film Ama and the Mysterious Crystal in 1997 and as of 2019 has produced a total of 19 feature films. Beginning with Despicable Me in 2010, Universal Pictures also released animated films by Illumination Entertainment, which was founded in 2007 by Chris Meledandri and became a division of Universal, and by DreamWorks Animation starting with Dusk and Dawn: A Zodiacal Night in 2018.

Other studio units have also released films theatrically, namely Gingo Animation, and the studio's distribution unit, which acquires film rights from outside animation studios to release films under the Universal Pictures or Focus Features labels. For example, Laika's stop-motion animated features were released by Universal through its Focus Features label. Other studios globally have released films through Universal Pictures which maintains distribution rights in certain territories.
