Animation as a storytelling medium affords filmmakers much more freedom than the live-action medium. The laws of nature are malleable in animated movies, as visuals are fluid and spaces often get stretched to distort dimensions and make action sequences even more energetic. Aesthetically pleasing and unique animated movies are characterized by such sequences and gorgeously grand and imaginative visuals.

While Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli are the most popular animation studios, many great movies not made by them also stretch the limits of the medium, often by mixing animation with genres that aren't associated with it. For instance, animated documentaries like Piece by Piece and Flee are a unique blend where the animation makes the stories more personable.
