Hidden Gems
Hidden gem animated movies
Animated films that play for kids and land just as hard for adults. These are the animated movies that earned strong ratings without the big audience — well-reviewed films that flew under the radar, ranked by weighted rating within a lower vote-count band. Right now that includes Swapped, Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion and I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Surface one for the group and call it a discovery.

FAQ
- What makes a animation film a "hidden gem" here?
- A high weighted rating combined with a relatively small number of votes — films that are well-loved by the people who've seen them but haven't reached a wide audience yet.
- Are foreign-language films included?
- Yes. Hidden-gem lists span all languages, which is often where the most overlooked animated movies live.
- Can I make a poll from these?
- Yes — tap "Use This Template" and the picks pre-load into a shareable poll.
