List of Universal Pictures theatrical animated feature films/Animated films by studio

The following is a list of animated feature films produced and/or released by Universal Pictures. The lists have been broken down categorically by sub-studio, etc.

Universal began releasing animated films during the 1980s which were produced by outside studios, such as Topia in 1981, Density in 1985, An American Tail in 1986, The Land Before Time in 1988, Los Tenpurcos in 1989, and Jetsons: The Movie in 1990. Then, in 1997, the studio released its first self-produced animated feature film with Ama and the Mysterious Crystal, and has hence continued to produce shorts, featurettes, and feature films to this day. Between collaborating with other studios to co-produce films to Universal distributing animated features produced by other companies, Universal no longer produces all their animated content under the Universal banner. Their most recent film, Paradoria 2: Enchanted Realm, released in 2019, marks the studio's 24th feature-length animated film.

Universal Animation Studios
The films collectively produced by Universal Animation Studios are dubbed the Universal Animated Features canon or simply UAF. Please do not move these films from one portion of this list to another. In particular, do not add other films to the Universal Animation Studio (UAS) films portion of the list UNLESS Universal has announced a new UAS production.

Any of the following are *not* part of the official UAF canon:
 * Illumination films. (Illumination remains a separate production unit within Universal)
 * DreamWorks Animation films, whether made before or after Universal acquired DreamWorks Animation. Like Illumination, DWA remains a separate production unit within Universal.
 * Gingo films, whether made before or after Gingo was split from Universal. The only exceptions to this are Paint World, BJ and Wally, Gabriel Garza, Gabriel Garza 2, Imagimals, and Gabriel Garza 3, which have already been added to the list, and were produced by UAS in conjunction with Gingo.
 * The Gabriel Garza Movie and Curious George, even if produced by UAS but rather at the Glendale studio.
 * Live action Universal films that include animated bits or sequences (even if produced by UAS), such as Casper, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Hop, and Woody Woodpecker.
 * Films distributed, but not produced by Universal, such as Topia, Density, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, Los Tenpurcos, Jetsons: The Movie, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, Balto, and The Tale of Despereaux.

The following is a list of the animated films that were produced by Universal Animation Studios, formerly known as Universal Feature Animation.

On April 28, 2016, Universal's parent company NBCUniversal announced a $3.8 billion deal to buy DreamWorks Animation. On August 22, 2016, the deal was completed. Universal took over the distribution deal with DreamWorks Animation starting in 2019 with the release of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, after DreamWorks Animation's distribution deal with 20th Century Fox ended.

The following films are produced by DreamWorks Animation. All animated films are also currently owned by Universal and it has assumed distribution rights to all of the DWA films released by DreamWorks Pictures (1998–2005), Paramount Pictures (2006–2012) and 20th Century Fox (2013–2017).
