Animated films have often become big hits.

Monsters, Inc. is an example of a popular animated film.

In 2010, animated films made less than US$500 million.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first animated film.

Over 750 artists worked on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to draw its pictures.

Animated films are still mostly hand-drawn today.

Computer animation allows animated films to be made more quickly.

Toy Story was the very first film made using only computer animation.

The creators of Toy Story also made Monsters, Inc. and Up.

A great animated film only needs good animation, not a good story.

Shrek had famous actors doing the voices of its characters.

Toy Story had Ellen DeGeneres and Geoffrey Rush as voice actors.

Billy Crystal and John Goodman voiced characters in Monsters, Inc.

Animated films never use famous actors for character voices.

Computer animation technology is not improving.

Pixar made both Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.

Making animated films with computers is usually more expensive than hand-drawing them.

Up was released after Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.

Animated films are made less often today than before computers.

Good stories and high-quality animation help animated films succeed.
